Product details
Overview
LT3519IMS#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 LED current sensing (0V–45V), programmable undervoltage lockout, and open-LED fault detection. It is used in automotive interior lighting, industrial status indicators, and high-reliability backlighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3519IMS#TRPBF datasheet, LT3519IMS#TRPBF pinout, LT3519IMS#TRPBF application, or LT3519IMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400kHz switching frequency, internal Schottky diode integration, 3V–30V input range, 3000:1 True Color PWM™ dimming capability, and MSOP-16 automotive-grade packaging.
Technical Context
The LT3519IMS#TRPBF implements current-mode control with dual feedback loops: voltage regulation via FB pin (1.22V reference) and rail-to-rail current sensing across 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 an internal 45V/750mA N-channel MOSFET switch, integrated Schottky diode (0.8V forward drop at 500mA), and dedicated OPENLED open-collector fault indicator. The CTRL pin linearly adjusts current-sense threshold (100mV–250mV), while PWM pin enables up to 3000:1 dimming with stored VC-node state for fast transient recovery.
Key Specifications

| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction - Qualified for under-hood and dashboard applications per AEC-Q100 stress requirements. |
| Package | 16-Lead MSOP - Thermally enhanced plastic package with four GND pins for low-impedance grounding and thermal dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
LT3519IMS#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP package (θJA = 130°C/W) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Four GND pins (1, 8, 9, 16) provide low-inductance return paths and improve thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (1, 8, 9, 16) | Power and signal ground | Multiple GND connections reduce ground bounce and improve stability in high-di/dt LED drive circuits. |
| OPENLED (2) | Open-LED fault indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when FB exceeds 1.22V – 60mV; requires external pull-up for system-level fault reporting. |
| PWM (3) | Pulse-width modulation control | Disables switching and preserves VC node charge during off-time; enables precise 3000:1 dimming without recovery delay. |
| SHDN/UVLO (4) | Shutdown and UVLO input | 1.22V falling threshold with user-programmable hysteresis; sub-μA shutdown current (<1μA) extends battery life. |
| VIN (5) | Main power input | Accepts 3V–30V; requires local 1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to minimize input ripple and EMI. |
| SW (6) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring minimal trace length and area to suppress radiated emissions. |
| ANODE (7) | Integrated Schottky anode | Internal connection to Schottky diode anode; eliminates external diode in boost topology, reducing BOM count. |
| 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 to measure RSENSE voltage. |
| 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 adjust | Sets VISP–VISN threshold from 100mV to 250mV; tied to VREF for full-scale 250mV operation. |
| VREF (15) | 2.0V precision reference output | Stable 2.0V ±2% output sourcing up to 100μA; used to bias CTRL, PWM, or external circuitry. |
| CATHODE (10) | Integrated Schottky cathode | Internal connection to Schottky cathode; connects to LED string anode in boost configuration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3519EMS#TRPBF | Same electrical specs but E-grade (0°C to +125°C) vs I-grade; MSOP-16 package identical. | Not qualified for extended automotive temperature range; unsuitable for under-hood use. | Select LT3519IMS#TRPBF for automotive cabin or industrial applications requiring –40°C startup. |
| LT3519-1IMS#TRPBF | 1MHz switching frequency (vs 400kHz); same pinout, package, and feature set. | Enables smaller inductors (e.g., 15μH vs 68μH) and faster transient response; higher switching loss at high current. | Choose LT3519IMS#TRPBF when EMI constraints favor lower frequency or when optimizing for peak efficiency >92% at mid-load. |
Compared with LT3519EMS#TRPBF, the LT3519IMS#TRPBF guarantees –40°C operation and is preferred for automotive cabin lighting; compared with LT3519-1IMS#TRPBF, it delivers higher efficiency in 6–24V input ranges due to lower gate drive and conduction losses at 400kHz.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LT3519IMS#TRPBF?
The LT3519IMS#TRPBF operates at a fixed 400kHz switching frequency. This frequency balances efficiency, inductor size, and EMI performance for automotive and industrial LED applications. It is factory-trimmed and does not require external timing components. The LT3519IMS#TRPBF variant is distinct from the LT3519-1IMS#TRPBF (1MHz) and LT3519-2IMS#TRPBF (2.2MHz), which share the same pinout but differ in oscillator frequency and associated efficiency trade-offs.
Does the LT3519IMS#TRPBF include an integrated Schottky diode?
Yes, the LT3519IMS#TRPBF integrates a Schottky diode with 0.8V forward voltage at 500mA and 4μA leakage at 24V. This eliminates the need for an external diode in boost configurations, reducing bill-of-materials count and PCB area. The anode (Pin 7) and cathode (Pin 10) are brought out separately to support flexible layout and thermal management. The LT3519IMS#TRPBF's integrated diode is rated for continuous operation up to 45V reverse voltage.
How does open-LED protection work on the LT3519IMS#TRPBF?
The LT3519IMS#TRPBF uses its FB pin to detect open-LED conditions: when the FB voltage rises within ~60mV of its 1.22V regulation threshold (i.e., ≥1.16V), the OPENLED pin pulls low. This open-drain signal requires an external pull-up resistor and latches its state during PWM idle periods. The LT3519IMS#TRPBF's OPENLED function is fully integrated-no external comparators or timers are needed-and works identically across boost, buck, and buck-boost topologies when FB is properly configured.
Can the LT3519IMS#TRPBF operate in buck mode?
Yes, the LT3519IMS#TRPBF supports buck, boost, SEPIC, and buck-boost topologies. In buck mode, the LED string connects between ANODE (Pin 7) and GND, while CATHODE (Pin 10) ties to VIN. Current sensing remains across ISP/ISN, and FB regulates output voltage. Application Note 3519FA shows a validated 500mA buck-mode design with 90% efficiency at 20V input. The LT3519IMS#TRPBF's rail-to-rail current sense and dual-loop architecture make topology reconfiguration straightforward via external component changes only.
What is the purpose of the CTRL pin on the LT3519IMS#TRPBF?
The CTRL pin on the LT3519IMS#TRPBF sets the current-sense threshold voltage across the external sense resistor (RSENSE). At CTRL = 2.0V (VREF), the threshold is 250mV; at CTRL = 100mV, it is 100mV-enabling linear analog dimming. Voltages between 1.0V and 1.2V enter a nonlinear region per the VISP–VISN vs VCTRL curve. The LT3519IMS#TRPBF's CTRL pin must never be left floating; tie to VREF if unused. This pin directly scales LED current without altering loop dynamics or compensation.
