DEMO MANUAL DC1816B
LT3799-1
Offline Isolated Flyback LED
Driver with PFC
Description
Demonstration circuit 1816B is an off-line isolated flyback
LED driver featuring LT
®
3799-1. The demo board provides
a single constant current output of 3A over an LED string
voltage from 22V to 38V. It is optimized to operate over
a wide AC input voltage range (90VAC to 305VAC, 47Hz
to 63Hz). LED current typically stays within ±5% over the
whole input voltage range. It provides a high power factor
(>0.9) enabling a single design to be used worldwide. It
is also designed to comply with the IEC 61000-3-2 Class
C harmonics standard and the EN55015B conducted EMI
standard.
The LT3799-1 controls an isolated flyback converter in
boundary mode. Its novel current sensing scheme deliv-
ers a well-regulated output current to the secondary side
without using an opto-coupler. Open- and shorted-LED
protection ensures long term reliability.
The LT3799-1 is available in a low profile, thermally-
enhanced 16-lead MSOP package.
The LT3799-1 data sheet gives a complete description
of the device, operation and application information. The
data sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick
start guide for demo circuit 1816B.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO CUSTOMERS
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENTED ON THE DEMO CIRCUIT,
AND CAN LEAD TO LETHAL INJURIES TO HUMAN BODY.
ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD OPERATE IT. IT
IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO USE SAFETY GLASSES
AND AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER.
NOTE. IMPROPER COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT ON THE
DEMO CIRCUIT CAN CAUSE PERFORMANCE DETERIORA-
TIONS, CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
AND EVEN LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES. CONTACT
LINEAR TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS ENGINEERS FOR
PROPER COMPONENT REPLACEMENT.
Demonstration circuit 1816B is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of the LT3799-1. Refer to Figure 1
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
1. Connect a 3A LED string with forward voltage less
than 38V, but greater than 22V, between LED
+
and
LED
–
terminals.
2. With power off, connect the input power supply to line
(L) input and neutral (N) input.
3. Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE. Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed
the maximum input voltage (305VAC).
4. Check for the proper output current.
Once the proper output currents are established, adjust the
input voltage and/or the load and observe the output current
regulation, efficiency, power factor and other parameters.
