to (VIN – 2V). LED dimming is achieved through analog n 6V to 36V Input Voltage Range dimming on the CTRL_L, CTRL_H and CTRL_T pins and n Average Current Mode Control with PWM dimming on the PWM and CTRL_SEL pins. n 2µs Maximum Recovery Time Between Any Current Through the use of externally switched load capacitors, Regulation State the LT3743 is capable of changing regulated LED current n <1µA Shutdown Current levels within several µs, providing accurate, high speed n Output Voltage Regulation and Open-LED Protection PWM dimming between two current levels. The switching n Thermally Enhanced 4mm × 5mm QFN and frequency is programmable from 200kHz to 1MHz through 28-Pin FE Package an external resistor on the RT pin. Additional features include voltage regulation and overvolt-
