DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
3491 is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converter
specifically designed to drive up to six white LEDs in series
from a Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides
identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and
eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The device
features a unique high side LED current sense that enables
the part to function as a “one wire current source;” one
side of the LED string can be returned to ground anywhere,
allowing a simpler one wire LED connection. Traditional
LED drivers use a grounded resistor to sense LED current,
requiring a 2-wire connection to the LED string.
The 2.3MHz switching frequency allows the use of tiny
inductors and capacitors. A single pin performs both
shutdown and accurate LED dimming control. Few exter-
nal components are needed: open-LED protection and the
Schottky diode are all contained inside the tiny SC70 and
2mm
×
2mm DFN packages. With such a high level of
integration, the LT3491 provides a high efficiency LED
driver solution in the smallest of spaces.
