Product details
Overview
LT3465ES6#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1.2MHz constant-frequency step-up DC/DC converter IC optimized for driving up to six white LEDs in series from a single Li-Ion cell. It integrates a Schottky diode, features inherent LED current matching, open-LED protection, and automatic soft-start. Designed for compact portable displays, it delivers 81% efficiency at 3.6V input driving four 20mA white LEDs.
For engineers reviewing the LT3465ES6#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3465ES6#TRMPBF pinout, LT3465ES6#TRMPBF application, or LT3465ES6#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include switching frequency (1.2MHz), integrated Schottky diode, 200mV feedback reference, 2.7V–16V input range, and SOT-23-6 (ThinSOT) package compatibility with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The LT3465ES6#TRMPBF employs current-mode control with a fixed 1.2MHz oscillator to ensure stable regulation across line and load variations. Its internal 200mV feedback reference and exponential CTRL-to-current transfer function enable precise analog dimming without external compensation.
It integrates a 300mV VCE(SAT) power switch and a 0.7V Schottky diode, eliminating external discrete components while maintaining low thermal resistance in the 1mm-profile TSOT-23 package. Open-circuit protection clamps VOUT at 30V and reduces switching frequency to limit input current during LED string failure.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz - Enables use of tiny 22µH inductors and 0.22µF ceramic output capacitors, minimizing board area and EMI. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 16V - Supports direct operation from single-cell Li-Ion (2.7–4.2V) and extended input rails up to 16V. |
| Max Output Voltage | 30V - Sufficient to drive six white LEDs (≈3.2V each) in series with headroom for forward voltage variation. |
| Feedback Reference | 200mV ±12mV - High-accuracy reference enabling precise LED current setting via external RFB (e.g., 10Ω for 20mA). |
| Efficiency | 81% at 3.6V/VIN, 4-LED/20mA - Delivers high power conversion efficiency critical for battery runtime in portable devices. |
| Soft-Start Time | 600µs - Limits inrush current during startup, reducing stress on input capacitors and source impedance. |
| CTRL Pin Threshold | 150mV to enable, 50mV to shut down - Provides robust noise-immune digital on/off control and analog dimming down to ~0.2mA. |
Pinout & Package
LT3465ES6#TRMPBF is housed in a 6-lead plastic TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™) package, 1mm height, JEDEC MO-193 compliant, with exposed pad not connected internally. The package supports reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Boost output node | Connects directly to LED anodes and output capacitor; trace minimization reduces EMI and voltage spikes. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal ground | Must connect to local ground plane with low-inductance path; serves as return for switch, FB resistor, and CTRL bias. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Current-sense feedback input | Senses voltage across RFB; 200mV reference sets LED current as ILED = 200mV / RFB. |
| CTRL (Pin 4) | Dimming and shutdown control | Analog dimming input (0–1.8V) or digital enable (≥150mV)/shutdown (≤50mV); internal bias current 48–72µA. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main input supply | Requires local 1µF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass capacitor; accepts 2.7–16V with 16V absolute max rating. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Internal power switch collector | Connects to inductor; switches at 1.2MHz with 300mV saturation voltage and 340mA current limit. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky diode | Eliminates external diode, saving PCB area and reducing BOM count while maintaining 0.7V forward drop at 150mA. |
| Inherently matched LED current | Series LED topology ensures identical current through all LEDs without ballast resistors, improving display uniformity. |
| Open-LED protection | Clamps VOUT at 30V and drops switching frequency to minimize input current when LED string opens. |
| Automatic soft-start | 600µs internal ramp limits peak inrush current, preventing input rail droop and capacitor stress at startup. |
| No external compensation required | Stable with standard 22µH inductor and 0.22µF output capacitor; simplifies design and reduces component count. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white LED boost driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3465AES6#TRMPBF | 2.4MHz switching frequency, no internal soft-start, identical pinout and feedback architecture. | Better suited for AM-band-sensitive applications (e.g., FM radio coexistence); requires external PWM dimming due to missing soft-start. | Select LT3465AES6#TRMPBF when EMI filtering is critical and inrush current can be managed externally. |
| LT1932ES6#TRMPBF | 1.2MHz, lower 1V–10V input range, 34V VOUT(MAX), 1.2mA quiescent current vs. 2.6mA (LT3465). | Optimized for single-cell alkaline/NiMH (1–1.5V) or low-VIN LiFePO4 systems; lacks open-LED clamp at 30V. | Choose LT1932ES6#TRMPBF for sub-2.7V input sources or where ultra-low IQ is prioritized over fault protection. |
Compared with LT3465ES6#TRMPBF, the LT3465AES6#TRMPBF offers higher frequency for smaller magnetics but sacrifices soft-start, while LT1932ES6#TRMPBF supports lower input voltages at the cost of reduced fault protection and narrower VIN range.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of white LEDs the LT3465ES6#TRMPBF can drive?
The LT3465ES6#TRMPBF is specified to drive up to six white LEDs in series from a 3.6V Li-Ion supply. This assumes typical white LED forward voltage of ≈3.2V per diode, resulting in ≈19.2V total, well within the device's 30V maximum output voltage rating and headroom for variation and ripple.
Does the LT3465ES6#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LT3465ES6#TRMPBF integrates a Schottky diode with 0.7V forward drop at 150mA and 4µA leakage at 30V. This eliminates the need for an external diode, reducing bill-of-materials count, PCB area, and potential layout-induced EMI.
How does dimming work on the LT3465ES6#TRMPBF?
Dimming on the LT3465ES6#TRMPBF is achieved via the CTRL pin: applying 0–1.8V provides analog dimming with exponential current control, while ≥150mV enables operation and ≤50mV shuts down the device. Full-scale current (e.g., 20mA) occurs at ≥1.8V.
What protection features does the LT3465ES6#TRMPBF include?
The LT3465ES6#TRMPBF includes open-LED protection (clamping VOUT at 30V and reducing switching frequency), overvoltage lockout, thermal shutdown, and current-limit protection (340mA typical). These features safeguard both the IC and connected LEDs during fault conditions.
Is the LT3465ES6#TRMPBF pin-compatible with the LT3465AES6#TRMPBF?
Yes, the LT3465ES6#TRMPBF and LT3465AES6#TRMPBF share identical 6-lead TSOT-23 pinout, footprint, and electrical interface. The only functional differences are switching frequency (1.2MHz vs. 2.4MHz) and presence of internal soft-start (LT3465 only).
