Product details
Overview
LT3519IMS-2#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-frequency, 2.2MHz step-up DC/DC LED driver IC with integrated 45V/750mA low-side switch and Schottky diode. It delivers constant-current or constant-voltage regulation for automotive and industrial LED lighting, supports rail-to-rail current sensing from 0V to 45V, and enables up to 3000:1 True Color PWM™ dimming with external PWM input.
For engineers reviewing the LT3519IMS-2#PBF datasheet, LT3519IMS-2#PBF pinout, LT3519IMS-2#PBF application, or LT3519IMS-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include switching frequency (2.2MHz), internal Schottky integration, open-LED fault detection via OPENLED pin, programmable UVLO hysteresis, and compatibility with boost/SEPIC/buck-boost/buck topologies.
Technical Context
The LT3519IMS-2#PBF employs current-mode control with internal compensation and dual-loop regulation-voltage feedback via FB pin (1.22V reference) and rail-to-rail current sense via ISP/ISN pins. Its error amplifier selects between loops based on which demands lower peak switch current, enabling seamless transition between constant-current and constant-voltage modes.
It features a 2.2MHz oscillator (LT3519-2 variant), 93% maximum duty cycle, 750mA switch current limit, and dedicated CTRL pin for linear analog dimming (0.1V–1.2V input adjusts VISP–VISN threshold from 0mV to 250mV). The OPENLED pin provides open-circuit LED status with latched reporting during PWM idle periods.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz - Enables compact magnetics and output filtering; reduces EMI energy at fundamental frequency. |
| Internal Switch Rating | 45V VDS, 750mA ISW - Supports LED strings up to ~38V output in boost mode with margin for transients. |
| Integrated Schottky Diode | Forward drop ≤0.8V @ 500mA - Eliminates external diode, saves board space and conduction losses in boost topology. |
| Current Sense Range | Rail-to-rail 0V–45V across ISP/ISN - Allows LED cathode/anode placement flexibility in buck, boost, and SEPIC configurations. |
| PWM Dimming Ratio | Up to 3000:1 - Achieved with external PWM signal; preserves color fidelity via True Color PWM™ architecture. |
| CTRL Pin Dimming | Analog adjustment of LED current threshold from 0.1V to 1.2V - Enables fine-grained dimming without external DAC. |
| Open LED Detection | FB voltage > (1.22V – 60mV) asserts OPENLED low - Provides fail-safe status for disconnected LED strings. |
Pinout & Package
LT3519IMS-2#PBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. The package supports –40°C to +125°C junction temperature operation and features four GND pins (1, 8, 9, 16) for low-impedance grounding and improved thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (1, 8, 9, 16) | Power and signal ground reference | Multiple GND pins reduce ground impedance and improve thermal conduction to PCB copper plane. |
| OPENLED (2) | Open-LED status output | Open-drain output pulled low when FB exceeds 1.16V; requires external pull-up for logic-level reporting. |
| PWM (3) | Dimming enable/disable control | Low disables switching and saves VC node state; internal pull-down allows direct MCU GPIO connection. |
| SHDN/UVLO (4) | Shutdown and undervoltage lockout | 1.22V falling threshold with user-programmable hysteresis via resistor divider; <1μA shutdown current. |
| VIN (5) | Main input supply (3V–30V continuous) | Must be bypassed with ≥1μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| SW (6) | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor; trace must be short and wide to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| ANODE (7) | Internal Schottky anode terminal | Connected internally to SW; used only in boost/SEPIC; not accessible externally in buck mode. |
| 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; forms differential pair with ISP for LED current measurement. |
| 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 programming | Sets VISP–VISN threshold from 0mV to 250mV; ties to VREF (2V) for full-scale operation. |
| VREF (15) | 2.0V precision reference output | Supplies up to 100μA; used for CTRL biasing, UVLO divider, or external circuitry requiring stable reference. |
| CATHODE (10) | Internal Schottky cathode terminal | Connected internally to output capacitor; serves as return path for Schottky current in boost configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 45V/750mA power switch + Schottky diode | Reduces BOM count by two components and eliminates layout sensitivity of external diode placement. |
| Rail-to-rail current sense (0V–45V) | Enables flexible LED string placement-cathode-grounded (buck), anode-grounded (boost), or floating (SEPIC). |
| True Color PWM™ dimming (up to 3000:1) | Maintains consistent LED chromaticity across dimming range by preserving PWM waveform integrity. |
| Programmable UVLO with hysteresis | Allows precise start-up and shut-down thresholds using external resistors; prevents brown-out oscillation. |
| Open-LED fault detection with latched status | Reports open-circuit condition even during PWM low phase, improving system reliability in automotive lighting. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network; simplifies design and improves stability across load conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3519IMS#PBF | 400kHz switching frequency; 97% max duty cycle; same pinout and feature set. | Better efficiency at low input voltages (<8V); larger inductors/caps required; higher EMI at fundamental. | Select when board space permits larger magnetics and lower-frequency EMI filtering is preferred. |

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LT3519IMS-2#PBF?
The LT3519IMS-2#PBF operates at a fixed 2.2MHz switching frequency, as designated by the "-2" suffix. This enables compact external components-such as 15μH inductors and 2.2μF ceramic output capacitors-and shifts EMI energy above sensitive AM radio bands. The frequency is trimmed and guaranteed over temperature and line variations per the Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the LT3519IMS-2#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT3519IMS-2#PBF features internal compensation, eliminating the need for external RC networks on the COMP or VC node. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and ensures stable loop response across load, input voltage, and temperature ranges without tuning.
How does open-LED detection work on the LT3519IMS-2#PBF?
The LT3519IMS-2#PBF monitors the FB pin voltage. When FB rises within ~60mV of its 1.22V regulation threshold (i.e., >1.16V), the OPENLED pin pulls low. This open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor and provides latched fault reporting-even during PWM low periods-to indicate LED string disconnection.
Can the LT3519IMS-2#PBF drive LEDs in buck configuration?
Yes, the LT3519IMS-2#PBF supports buck, boost, SEPIC, and buck-boost topologies. In buck mode, the LED string connects between ANODE and GND, while CATHODE is tied to the output node. The rail-to-rail ISP/ISN inputs allow accurate current sensing regardless of LED string polarity relative to ground.
What is the purpose of the CTRL pin on the LT3519IMS-2#PBF?
The CTRL pin on the LT3519IMS-2#PBF sets the current-sense threshold voltage (VISP–VISN) linearly from 0mV to 250mV. Applying 0.1V–1.0V yields proportional analog dimming; ≥1.2V clamps to full-scale 250mV. It enables precise LED current control without external DACs and must not be left floating.
