DESCRIPTION
The
LT
®
3965/LT3965-1
is an LED bypass switching device
for dimming individual LEDs in a string using a common
current source. It features eight individually controlled
floating source 17V/330mΩ NMOS switches. The eight
switches can be connected in parallel and/or in series to
bypass current around one or more LEDs in a string. The
LT3965 is initialized with all switches off (LEDs on), and
the LT3965-1 is initialized with all switches on (LEDs off)
The LT3965/LT3965-1 uses the I
2
C serial interface to
communicate with the microcontroller. Each of the eight
channels can be independently programmed to bypass
the LED string in constant on or off, or PWM dimming
with or without fade transition. Using the fade option
provides 11-bit resolution logarithmic transition between
PWM dimming states. The LT3965/LT3965-1 provides
an internal clock generator and also supports external
clock source for PWM dimming. The LT3965/LT3965-1
reports fault conditions for each channel such as open
LED and shorted LED. The four address select pins allow
16 LT3965/LT3965-1 devices to share the I
2
C bus. The
device is available in a 28-lead TSSOP package

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 LT3965E/LT3965E-1 is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from the 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 LT3965I/LT3965I-1 is guaranteed over the full –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures
degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction
temperatures greater than 125°C.
