Product details
Overview
LM3414SD/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 1-A, 60-W common-anode-capable constant-current buck LED driver IC with integrated low-side N-channel MOSFET and no external current-sense resistor required. It delivers ±3% LED current accuracy at 1 A, operates from 4.5 V to 42 V input, and achieves up to 96% efficiency in architectural lighting and MR-16 LED lamp applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM3414SD/NOPB datasheet, LM3414SD/NOPB pinout, LM3414SD/NOPB application, or LM3414SD/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its PLM-based average current regulation, 250–1000 kHz adjustable switching frequency, thermal fold-back support via IADJ, analog/PWM dimming capability, and WSON-8 package thermal performance (RθJA = 47.7°C/W).
Technical Context
The LM3414SD/NOPB implements proprietary Pulse-Level-Modulation (PLM) control to regulate true average LED current by sensing internal switch current during ON-time only-enabling high efficiency and eliminating external sense resistors. Its integrated 1.8-Ω N-MOSFET supports up to 1-A continuous output with 400 ns minimum ON-time constraint.
Operation requires continuous conduction mode (CCM); inductor selection must ensure inductor current never reaches zero. The device features internal 5.4-V VCC regulator (bypassed with 1 µF ceramic), thermal shutdown at 170°C, and dual dimming interfaces: logic-level PWM on DIM pin and analog current bias on IADJ pin for ambient/temperature-based dimming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V DC - supports wide-range industrial and automotive LED power supplies without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A ±3% - precise constant-current drive for high-power LED strings up to 60 W (e.g., 18×3-W HBLEDs). |
| Switching Frequency | 250–1000 kHz - adjustable via RFS; higher frequencies enable smaller magnetics but require careful EMI layout. |
| LED Current Adjustment | 350 mA to 1000 mA - set by RIADJ resistor (3.13 kΩ for 1 A); enables fine-tuning without recalculating compensation. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% - achieved via integrated MOSFET and PLM architecture, reducing conduction and sensing losses. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed fixtures. |
| Dimming Support | PWM (min pulse <10 µs) + analog via IADJ - enables >256-step resolution and smooth thermal fold-back behavior. |
Pinout & Package
LM3414SD/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced 3 mm × 3 mm WSON-8 package with exposed thermal pad (EP) that must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance (RθJB = 22.3°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Internal regulator output | Bypass with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor; powers internal gate drive and control circuits; shuts down if voltage drops below 3.9 V. |
| PGND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for LX switch current; must connect externally to EP and GND pins for low-impedance thermal and current path. |
| IADJ | Analog current adjustment input | Internally biased to 1.255 V; sets LED current via RIADJ to GND; also accepts external bias for analog dimming or thermal fold-back. |
| GND | Analog ground | Reference for internal analog circuitry; must tie externally to PGND to avoid noise coupling into current regulation loop. |
| FS | Frequency setting input | Connect RFS to GND to program switching frequency from 250–1000 kHz; tolerance ±16% at 500 kHz with 40 kΩ resistor. |
| DIM | PWM dimming control | Logic-level input (1.2 V threshold); high enables LED current, low disables switching while keeping VCC active; supports fast slew-up for high-resolution dimming. |
| LX | Switch node | Drain of internal N-MOSFET; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; handles peak currents up to ~3× ILED during overcurrent events. |
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–42 V DC; includes UVLO (3.75 V threshold) and transient rating of 45 V (500 ms); decoupled with CIN near package. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external current-sense resistor | Reduces BOM count and board space; eliminates 1–2 W dissipation typical of 1-A shunt resistors. |
| Pulse-Level-Modulation (PLM) | Enables true average current regulation by sampling internal switch current mid-ramp-no output filter capacitor needed. |
| Adjustable constant-current range | 350–1000 mA via single RIADJ resistor; supports flexible design reuse across LED string configurations. |
| Integrated thermal fold-back | Uses IADJ pin to linearly reduce LED current as temperature rises-prevents thermal runaway without external sensors. |
| High-efficiency buck topology | 96% peak efficiency achieved with integrated 1.8-Ω MOSFET and optimized gate drive-reduces thermal load in compact fixtures. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM3414SD/NOPB?
The LM3414SD/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 42 V DC, with a recommended operating range of 4.5 V to 42 V. Transient input voltage up to 45 V is allowed for durations ≤500 ms. Exceeding 42 V continuously risks permanent damage, and operation above 45 V-even briefly-violates absolute maximum ratings.
Does LM3414SD/NOPB require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the LM3414SD/NOPB does not require an external current-sense resistor. It uses integrated current sensing and Pulse-Level-Modulation (PLM) to regulate average LED current directly from the internal switch current waveform. This eliminates power loss and board space associated with external shunts while maintaining ±3% accuracy across temperature.
How is LED current adjusted on LM3414SD/NOPB?
LED current on the LM3414SD/NOPB is adjusted by connecting a precision resistor (RIADJ) between the IADJ pin and GND. The IADJ pin is internally biased to 1.255 V, so ILED ≈ 3125 / RIADJ (in kΩ) mA. For example, a 3.13 kΩ resistor sets nominal 1000 mA output. RIADJ tolerance should be ≤0.5% for full accuracy.
What package type is used for LM3414SD/NOPB?
The LM3414SD/NOPB uses a 3 mm × 3 mm WSON-8 package with an exposed thermal pad (EP). This thermally enhanced package delivers RθJA = 47.7°C/W and RθJB = 22.3°C/W when the EP is properly soldered to a large PCB ground plane-critical for sustaining 1-A continuous operation in compact LED drivers.
Can LM3414SD/NOPB support both PWM and analog dimming simultaneously?
The LM3414SD/NOPB supports either PWM dimming (via DIM pin) or analog dimming (via IADJ pin), but not simultaneous independent control. Applying PWM to DIM enables fast, high-contrast brightness control; biasing IADJ enables slow-varying adjustments like thermal fold-back or ambient light compensation. Using both concurrently may cause unpredictable current regulation due to conflicting control paths.
