LT3486
Dual 1.3A White LED
Step-Up Converters with
Wide Dimming
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
3486 is a dual step-up DC/DC converter
specifically designed to drive up to 16 White LEDs (8 in
series per converter) at constant current from a single
Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides identi-
cal LED currents resulting in uniform brightness. The two
independent converters are capable of driving asymmetric
LED strings.
The dimming of the two LED strings can be controlled
independently via the respective CTRL pins. An internal
dimming system allows the dimming range to be extended
up to 1000:1 by feeding a PWM signal to the respective
PWM pins. The LT3486 operating frequency can be set with
an external resistor over a 200kHz to 2.5MHz range. A low
200mV feedback voltage (±3% accuracy) minimizes power
loss in the current setting resistor for better efficiency.
Additional features include output voltage limiting when
LEDs are disconnected and overtemperature protection.
The LT3486 is available in a space saving 16-pin DFN
(5mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) and 16-pin thermally enhanced
TSSOP packages.
