Product details
Overview
LT3519EMS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-frequency 400kHz step-up DC/DC LED driver IC with integrated 45V/750mA low-side switch and Schottky diode. It supports constant-current and constant-voltage regulation, rail-to-rail current sense (0V–45V), programmable UVLO, open-LED fault detection, and up to 3000:1 True Color PWM™ dimming. It is used in automotive interior lighting, industrial status indicators, and high-reliability LED backlighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3519EMS#TRPBF datasheet, LT3519EMS#TRPBF pinout, LT3519EMS#TRPBF application, or LT3519EMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include switching frequency (400kHz), internal Schottky integration, rail-to-rail ISP/ISN sensing range, open-LED status reporting via OPENLED pin, and compatibility with boost/SEPIC/buck-boost/buck topologies.
Technical Context
The LT3519EMS#TRPBF employs current-mode control with internal compensation and dual-loop feedback-voltage loop (FB pin, 1.22V reference) and rail-to-rail current-sense loop (ISP/ISN pins). Its error amplifier selects the lower of the two loop demands to enforce either constant-current or constant-voltage operation without mode conflict.
It features a dedicated CTRL pin that linearly adjusts the current-sense threshold (100mV–250mV) for analog dimming, and a PWM pin enabling ultra-high-ratio (3000:1) pulse-width modulation with stored VC-node state for fast transient recovery. The SHDN/UVLO pin provides accurate 1.22V falling threshold with externally programmable hysteresis.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LT3519EMS#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm, 0.5mm pitch) with four GND pins (1, 8, 9, 16) for low-impedance grounding and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (1, 8, 9, 16) | Power and signal ground reference | Four dedicated ground connections minimize ground bounce and improve thermal resistance (θJA = 130°C/W). |
| OPENLED (2) | Open-collector fault status output | Pulls low when FB ≥ 1.16V - signals open-circuit LED string; requires external pull-up for logic-level interfacing. |
| PWM (3) | Switching enable/disable control | Low disables oscillator and saves VC node state; internal pull-down allows direct MCU GPIO connection. |
| SHDN/UVLO (4) | Shutdown and undervoltage lockout input | 1.22V falling threshold with 2.2μA internal pull-down enables precise hysteresis programming via resistor divider. |
| VIN (5) | Main input supply (3V–30V continuous) | Must be bypassed with ≥1μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency switching noise. |
| SW (6) | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor; high dI/dt path - requires minimized trace length and area to reduce EMI radiation. |
| ANODE (7) | Integrated Schottky anode terminal | Internally connects to SW; eliminates external diode in boost topology - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| ISP (11) | Current sense positive input | Non-inverting input of rail-to-rail current sense amplifier; bias current increases with VISP–VISN. |
| ISN (12) | Current sense negative input | Inverting input of current sense amplifier; used with ISP to measure voltage across external RSENSE. |
| FB (13) | Voltage feedback input | Regulates to 1.22V; used for CV mode or open-LED protection - must not be left floating. |
| CTRL (14) | Current threshold adjustment input | Sets VISP–VISN threshold from 100mV to 250mV; ties to VREF (2V) for full-scale operation. |
| VREF (15) | 2.0V precision reference output | Supplies up to 100μA; used to bias CTRL, PWM, or external circuitry - improves system accuracy and reduces external references. |
| CATHODE (10) | Integrated Schottky cathode terminal | Connects to LED string cathode in boost mode; completes internal diode path - eliminates discrete diode placement. |

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LT3519EMS#TRPBF?
The LT3519EMS#TRPBF operates at a fixed 400kHz switching frequency. This value is factory-trimmed and does not require external timing components. It balances efficiency, magnetic size, and EMI performance for automotive and industrial LED applications. The LT3519EMS#TRPBF variant is distinct from the LT3519EMS-1#TRPBF (1MHz) and LT3519EMS-2#TRPBF (2.2MHz) versions.
Does the LT3519EMS#TRPBF include an integrated Schottky diode?
Yes, the LT3519EMS#TRPBF integrates a Schottky diode with anode (Pin 7) and cathode (Pin 10) terminals. This eliminates the need for an external diode in boost configurations, reducing BOM count and PCB area. The typical forward voltage is 0.8V at 500mA, and leakage is ≤4μA at 24V reverse bias.
How does open-LED detection work on the LT3519EMS#TRPBF?
The LT3519EMS#TRPBF monitors the FB pin voltage and asserts the OPENLED pin low when FB reaches 1.16V (1.22V – 60mV). This occurs when the LED string opens and the voltage loop takes control. The OPENLED pin is open-drain and requires an external pull-up resistor to report the fault to a microcontroller or monitoring circuit.
Can the LT3519EMS#TRPBF operate in buck topology?
Yes, the LT3519EMS#TRPBF supports buck, boost, SEPIC, and buck-boost topologies. In buck mode, the ANODE pin connects to VIN, CATHODE to the LED cathode, and the inductor is placed between SW and the LED anode. The datasheet provides specific resistor divider guidance for open-LED protection in buck configuration.
What is the purpose of the CTRL pin on the LT3519EMS#TRPBF?
The CTRL pin on the LT3519EMS#TRPBF sets the current-sense threshold voltage across the external sense resistor (RSENSE). Applying 0.1V–1.0V yields linear current scaling (ILED = (VCTRL – 100mV)/(4 × RSENSE)); above 1.2V, it clamps to 250mV full-scale. This enables precise analog dimming and current calibration without trimming resistors.
