Description
The LT
®
3496 is a triple output DC/DC converter designed
to operate as a constant-current source and is ideal for
driving LEDs. The LT3496 works in buck, boost or buck-
boost mode. The LT3496 uses a fixed frequency, current
mode architecture resulting in stable operation over a
wide range of supply and output voltages. A frequency
adjust pin allows the user to program switching frequency
between 330kHz and 2.1MHz to optimize efficiency and
external component size.
The LT3496 supports 3000:1 dimming control on each
channel. Each of the three regulators is independently
operated by that channel’s PWM signal. The PWM feature
allows precise adjustment of the color mixing or dimming
ratio of the LED source. Each of the three channels has
a built-in gate driver to drive an external LED-disconnect
P-channel MOSFET, allowing high dimming range. The
output current range of each channel of the LT3496 is
programmed with an external sense resistor.
The CTRL pins are used to adjust the LED currents either
for analog dimming or overtemperature protection.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT3496E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT3496I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The LT3496H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to
150°C operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures
degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction
temperatures greater than 125°C.
Note 3:
Current flows into pin. Current limit and switch V
CESAT
is
guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
Note 4:
Absolute maximum voltage at the V
IN
and
SHDN
pins is 40V for
nonrepetitive 1 second transients, and 30V for continuous operation.
Note 5:
Gate turn-on/turn-off delay is measured from 50% level of PWM
voltage to 90% level of gate on/off voltage.
Note 6:
The LT3496 includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature
when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operating above
the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device
reliability.
