LT3796/LT3796-1 100V Constant-Current and Constant-Voltage Controller with Dual Current Sense FeaTuresDescripTion n 3000:1 True Color PWM™ Dimming The LT®3796/LT3796-1 are DC/DC controllers designed to n Wide Input Voltage Range: 6V to 100V regulate a constant-current or constant-voltage and are n Current Monitoring Up to 100V ideal for driving LEDs. The fixed frequency and current n High Side PMOS Disconnect and PWM Switch Driver mode architecture result in stable operation over a wide n Constant-Current and Constant-Voltage Regulation range of supply and output voltages. Two ground referred n Dual Current Sense Amplifiers with Reporting voltage FB pins serve as the input for several LED protec- n C/10 Detection for Battery and SuperCap Charging tion features, and also allow the converter to operate as a n Linear Current Sense Threshold Programming constant-voltage source. The LT3796/LT3796-1 feature a n Short-Circuit Protection programmable threshold output current sense amplifier n Adjustable Frequency: 100kHz to 1MHz with rail-to-rail common mode range. A separate high n Frequency Synchronization (LT3796) side amplifier is gain configurable with two resistors and n Independent Top Gate Enable Pin (LT3796-1) can be used to regulate a second current or a voltage n Programmable Open LED Protection with VMODE Flag in combination with one of the FB pins. The PWM input n Programmable Undervoltage Lockout with Hysteresis provides LED dimming ratios of up to 3000:1. n Soft-Start with Programmable Fault Restart Timer n The LT3796-1 is optimized for a second output current Available in 28-Lead TSSOP Package regulation loop that can be enabled/disabled with a PMOS switch, either to drive a second LED string or to extend applicaTions analog dimming range. n High Power LED, High Voltage LED, Dual String L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and True n Battery and SuperCap Chargers Color PWM is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
