®
3466 is a dual full function step-up DC/DC converter
specifically designed to drive up to 20 White LEDs (10 in
series per converter) with a constant current. Series
connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents
resulting in uniform brightness and eliminating the need
for ballast resistors and expensive factory calibration.
The two independent converters are capable of driving
asymmetric LED strings. The dimming of the two LED
strings can also be controlled independently. The LT3466
is ideal for providing backlight for main and sub-displays
in cell phones and other handheld devices.
The LT3466 operating frequency can be set with an
external resistor over a 200kHz to 2MHz range. A low
200mV feedback voltage minimizes power loss in the
current setting resistor for better efficiency. Additional
features include output voltage limiting when LEDs are
disconnected and internal soft-start.
The LT3466 is available in the 10-pin (3mm
×

×
0.75mm) DFN and 16-pin thermally enhanced TSSOP
packages.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT3466E is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls.
Note 3:
Current flows out of the pin.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by design and test correlation, not production tested.
Note 5:
Current limit is guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static
test. Slope compensation reduces current limit at high duty cycle.
