Product details
Overview
LT3755HMSE-2#PBF from Analog Devices is a constant-frequency, current-mode DC/DC LED controller optimized for high-power automotive and industrial LED drivers. It drives an external low-side N-channel MOSFET, supports boost/buck/buck-boost/SEPIC/flyback topologies, delivers up to 75V output, senses LED current at the high side with 100mV threshold, and features true-color PWM dimming up to 3000:1 - deployed in 50W white automotive headlamp systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3755HMSE-2#PBF datasheet, LT3755HMSE-2#PBF pinout, LT3755HMSE-2#PBF application, or LT3755HMSE-2#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 qualification, –40°C to 150°C junction temperature rating, high-side current sensing architecture, open-LED protection via FB-based fault detection, and programmable switching frequency (100kHz–1MHz) for EMI and magnetics optimization.
Technical Context
The LT3755HMSE-2#PBF implements a fixed-frequency current-mode control architecture with internal 7.15V INTVCC regulator powering the gate driver and logic. Its error amplifier (VC) regulates either LED current via ISP/ISN differential sensing or output voltage via FB, with dual-loop interaction managed by transconductance amplifiers and slope compensation.
It integrates dedicated protection circuitry: OPENLED status assertion when FB drops 50mV below 1.25V (LT3755-2 variant), ISP/ISN short-circuit detection active below 3V common-mode voltage, and programmable UVLO on SHDN/UVLO with 20mV hysteresis. The CTRL pin linearly adjusts current sense threshold from 0V to 1V, then holds at 100mV full-scale above 1.2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 40V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (40V) conditions. |
| Output Voltage Capability | Up to 75V - enables driving long series strings of high-brightness LEDs in headlamp and signage applications. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 100mV (typical) at ISP–ISN - enables precise, low-loss high-side LED current regulation with minimal power dissipation. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100kHz to 1MHz - adjustable via RT resistor to balance efficiency, EMI, and magnetic component size. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +150°C - H-grade rating meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for under-hood automotive deployment. |
| PWM Dimming Ratio | 3000:1 - supports high-fidelity, flicker-free brightness control essential for adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS). |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures ultra-low quiescent draw during vehicle sleep mode to prevent battery drain. |
Pinout & Package
LT3755HMSE-2#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm) with exposed pad (Pin 17) soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. The package supports high-power density designs in space-constrained automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (Pin 1) | Buffered PWM output | Drives NMOS disconnect switch; toggles low during FB overvoltage (>1.25V + 60mV) to isolate LED load and prevent damage. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Voltage feedback input | Ground-referenced node regulating output voltage to 1.25V; triggers OPENLED pull-down when <1.20V (LT3755-2 behavior). |
| ISN (Pin 3) | Negative current sense input | High-side current sense return; enables short-circuit detection below 3V common-mode voltage. |
| ISP (Pin 4) | Positive current sense input | High-side current sense input; combined with ISN, sets LED current via 100mV threshold or CTRL-adjusted value. |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | Integrates difference between ISP–ISN and CTRL-set threshold; stabilizes loop with external RC network. |
| CTRL (Pin 6) | Current threshold adjust | Linearly scales ISP–ISN threshold from 0V to 1V (10× gain), then clamps at 100mV for analog dimming or thermal derating. |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2.0V reference output | Stable 2.0V source (±2%) for biasing CTRL divider or temperature compensation networks; supplies ≤100µA. |
| PWM (Pin 8) | Digital dimming input | Active-high enable; forces GATE/PWMOUT low and places VC in high-Z storage mode during off periods. |
| OPENLED (Pin 9) | Open-LED fault indicator | Open-collector output pulled low when FB < 1.20V (LT3755-2); requires external pull-up <1mA for fault reporting. |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-start control | 10µA internal pull-up to 2.5V rail; external capacitor sets ramp time; reset by UVLO or thermal shutdown. |
| RT (Pin 11) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets oscillator frequency; 100kΩ yields ~375kHz per datasheet curve. |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 12) | Enable & undervoltage detect | 1.22V falling threshold with programmable hysteresis; sub-µA bias above threshold; pulls down 2.1µA below to set hysteresis. |
| INTVCC (Pin 13) | Internal LDO output | 7.15V regulated supply (±150mV) for gate driver and logic; requires 4.7µF local ceramic bypass. |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5V–40V; powers INTVCC LDO and internal circuits; bypass with ≥0.22µF ceramic near pin. |
| SENSE (Pin 15) | Low-side current sense | Kelvin-connected to FET source; monitors switch current for cycle-by-cycle limiting at 108mV threshold. |
| GATE (Pin 16) | NMOS gate driver | Drives external low-side FET between INTVCC and GND; rise/fall time <35ns into 3300pF. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 17) | Thermal & electrical ground | Mandatory solder connection to PCB ground plane; improves thermal resistance (θJC = 4°C/W) and reduces noise coupling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3756HMSE-2#PBF | Higher 100V output capability; identical pinout, package, and feature set except extended ISP/ISN common-mode range (up to 100V). | Suitable for higher-voltage LED strings (e.g., >75V) or flyback configurations with higher reflected voltages. | Select when output voltage exceeds 75V or when operating in flyback with >75V reflected primary voltage. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT3755HMSE-2#PBF?
The LT3755HMSE-2#PBF supports output voltages up to 75V, enabling it to drive long series strings of high-brightness LEDs commonly used in automotive headlamps and industrial lighting. This rating is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and confirmed in the Applications section, where a 50W white automotive LED headlamp driver is shown operating within this limit.
Does the LT3755HMSE-2#PBF support AEC-Q100 qualification?
Yes, the LT3755HMSE-2#PBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. Its H-grade temperature rating (–40°C to +150°C junction) and associated reliability testing meet AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements. This is explicitly stated in the FEATURES list and ORDER INFORMATION table, where "LT3755HMSE-2#PBF" is listed with "–40°C to 150°C" and "AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS" designation.
How does the OPENLED pin function on the LT3755HMSE-2#PBF?
The OPENLED pin on the LT3755HMSE-2#PBF is an open-collector output that asserts (pulls low) when the FB voltage falls below 1.20V (i.e., 50mV below the 1.25V regulation threshold), indicating an open LED string. As an LT3755-2 variant, it re-asserts OPENLED after FB drops below the overvoltage threshold and remains above the OPENLED threshold - a behavior distinct from the base LT3755. An external pull-up current <1mA is required.
Can the LT3755HMSE-2#PBF operate in buck, boost, and buck-boost topologies?
Yes, the LT3755HMSE-2#PBF supports boost, buck, buck-boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies. Its high-side current sensing architecture (via ISP/ISN) decouples the LED string from ground, allowing flexible configuration regardless of input/output voltage relationship. This is explicitly listed under FEATURES and confirmed in the DESCRIPTION section and TYPICAL APPLICATION diagrams.
What is the purpose of the CTRL pin on the LT3755HMSE-2#PBF?
The CTRL pin on the LT3755HMSE-2#PBF adjusts the ISP–ISN current sense threshold: from 0V to 1V, it provides linear 10× scaling (e.g., 0.5V → 50mV threshold); above 1.2V, it clamps at the full-scale 100mV value. This enables analog dimming, thermal derating, or closed-loop current adjustment - a core feature documented in PIN FUNCTIONS and ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS tables.
