LT3932/LT3932-1 36V, 2A Synchronous Step-Down LED Driver FEATURESDESCRIPTION n ±1.5% LED Current Regulation The LT®3932 , featuring the Silent Switcher®architecture n ±1.2% Output Voltage Regulation to minimize EMI/EMC emissions, utilizes fixed-frequency, n 5000:1/10000+:1 PWM Dimming at 100Hz peak current control and provides PWM dimming for a (LT3932/LT3932-1) string of LEDs. The LED current is programmed by an ana- n 128:1 Internal PWM Dimming log voltage or the duty cycle of pulses at the CTRL pin. An n Spread-Spectrum Frequency Modulation output voltage limit can be set with a resistor divider to n Silent Switcher ® Architecture for Low EMI the FB pin. n 3.6V to 36V Input Voltage Range The switching frequency is programmable from 200kHz to n 0V to 36V LED String Voltage 2MHz by an external resistor at the RT pin or by an exter- n 200kHz to 2MHz with SYNC Function nal clock at the SYNC/SPRD pin. With the optional spread n 99.9% Maximum Duty Cycle spectrum frequency modulation enabled, the frequency n 20:1 Analog or Duty Cycle LED Current Control varies from 100% to 125% to reduce EMI. The LT3932 n Open/Short LED Protection and Fault Indication also includes a driver for an external, high side PMOS for n Accurate LED Current Sense with Monitor Output PWM dimming and an internal PWM signal generator for n Programmable UVLO analog control of PWM dimming when an external signal is n Thermally Enhanced 28-Pin (4mm × 5mm) QFN not available. The LT3932-1 permits higher dimming ratios. Additional features include an LED current monitor, an APPLICATIONS accurate EN/UVLO pin threshold, open-drain fault report- n Automotive Lighting ing for open-circuit and short-circuit load conditions, and n Industrial and General Purpose Lighting thermal shutdown. n Machine Vision Systems All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
