LM3404/04HV 1.0A Constant Current Buck Regulator for Driving High Power LEDs
February 8, 2010
LM3404/04HV
1.0A Constant Current Buck Regulator for Driving High
Power LEDs
General Description
The LM3404/04HV are monolithic switching regulators de-
signed to deliver constant currents to high power LEDs. Ideal
for automotive, industrial, and general lighting applications,
they contain a high-side N-channel MOSFET switch with a
current limit of 1.5A (typical) for step-down (Buck) regulators.
Hysteretic controlled on-time and an external resistor allow
the converter output voltage to adjust as needed to deliver a
constant current to series and series-parallel connected LED
arrays of varying number and type. LED dimming via pulse
width modulation (PWM), broken/open LED protection, low-
power shutdown and thermal shutdown complete the feature
set.

Application Information
Connect this pin to the output inductor and Schottky diode.
Connect a 10 nF ceramic capacitor from this pin to SW.
Connect a logic-level PWM signal to this pin to enable/disable the
power MOSFET and reduce the average light output of the LED array.
Connect this pin to system ground.
Set the current through the LED array by connecting a resistor from
this pin to ground.
A resistor connected from this pin to VIN sets the regulator controlled
on-time.
Bypass this pin to ground with a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor
with X5R or X7R dielectric.
Nominal operating input range for this pin is 6V to 42V (LM3404) or 6V
to 75V (LM3404HV).
Connect to ground. Place 4-6 vias from DAP to bottom layer ground
plane.
