Product details
Overview
LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage, constant-current DC/DC LED controller optimized for automotive headlamp and industrial high-power LED drivers. It operates from 4.5V to 40V input, delivers up to 75V output, supports 3000:1 PWM dimming, drives external N-channel MOSFETs via a 7.15V INTVCC gate driver, and features high-side current sensing for boost/buck/buck-boost topologies - deployed in 50W white LED automotive headlamps.
For engineers reviewing the LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF datasheet, LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF pinout, LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF application, or LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 H-grade (–40°C to +150°C), open LED protection with OPENLED status pin, programmable 100kHz–1MHz switching frequency, 100mV high-side current sense threshold, and dual-loop (constant-current + constant-voltage) regulation capability.
Technical Context
The LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with internal slope compensation, using a transconductance error amplifier (VC pin) to regulate either LED string current (via ISP/ISN differential sensing) or output voltage (via FB pin). Its architecture enables seamless transition between CC and CV modes without external mode-switching circuitry.
It integrates an internal 7.15V LDO (INTVCC) for gate driving, supports analog dimming via CTRL pin (0–1.1V adjusts current threshold from 0 to 100mV), and provides dedicated fault handling: OPENLED pull-down asserts when FB drops 50mV below 1.25V reference (LT3755-2 variant), while PWMOUT forces low during FB overvoltage events (>1.31V).

| FB (Pin 2) | Voltage feedback input | Regulates output voltage to 1.25V; also triggers OPENLED status and PWMOUT fault response based on deviation thresholds |
| ISN (Pin 3) | Negative current sense input | High-side current sensing node; common-mode range 2.9V–75V; enables short-circuit detection when ISN < 3V |
| ISP (Pin 4) | Positive current sense input | Paired with ISN; differential voltage (ISP–ISN) sets LED current; bias current varies with CTRL voltage |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | Integrates loop error; high-impedance during PWM low to retain state; requires RC compensation network for stability |
| CTRL (Pin 6) | Analog dimming / current threshold control | Adjusts ISP–ISN threshold from 0 to 100mV linearly (0–1V), then clamps at full scale (>1.2V); enables temperature-compensated dimming |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2.0V precision reference output | Supplies ≤100µA; used to bias CTRL divider or enable thermal foldback via NTC network |
| PWM (Pin 8) | Digital dimming input | Active-high logic input; internal pull-down; controls switching enable/disable and resets OPENLED latch on rising edge |
| OPENLED (Pin 9) | Open-circuit fault indicator | Open-drain output; pulls low when FB < 1.20V (LT3755-2 specific); requires external pull-up <1mA |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-start timing input | 10µA internal current charges external capacitor; sets startup ramp time and prevents inrush current |
| RT (Pin 11) | Frequency programming input | Resistor-to-GND sets oscillator frequency (100kΩ → ~375kHz); determines trade-off between efficiency and magnetics size |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 12) | Shutdown and input UVLO input | 1.22V falling threshold with programmable hysteresis; disables IC and reduces IQ to <1µA when pulled ≤0.4V |
| INTVCC (Pin 13) | Internal regulated supply | 7.15V LDO output; powers GATE/PWMOUT drivers; requires 4.7µF local ceramic bypass; current-limited to 34mA (typ) |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Main power input | Bypassed with ≥0.22µF ceramic capacitor; supplies INTVCC and internal circuitry; max rating 40V |
| SENSE (Pin 15) | Low-side switch current sense | Kelvin-connected to source of external N-MOSFET; monitors peak switch current; clamped at 108mV (typ) for overcurrent protection |
| GATE (Pin 16) | N-MOSFET gate driver output | Swings between GND and INTVCC (7.15V); drives external FET gate; disabled during shutdown/fault |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 17) | Thermal & electrical ground | Mandatory solder connection to PCB ground plane; serves as current-sense return path and primary thermal conduction path |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for the LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF?
The LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade H. This specification is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +150°C operating range, with thermal derating applied above 125°C per Analog Devices' reliability guidelines. The exposed pad must be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB to achieve θJA = 43°C/W and maintain safe operation at full load.
Does the LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF support both constant-current and constant-voltage regulation?
Yes, the LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF supports dual-loop regulation: constant-current via ISP/ISN differential sensing (targeting 100mV) and constant-voltage via FB pin (regulated to 1.25V). The two loops interact - the current loop dominates during normal LED operation, while the voltage loop activates during open-circuit conditions or overvoltage events. FB can be grounded to disable CV mode entirely.
How does the OPENLED pin function on the LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF?
The OPENLED pin on the LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF is an open-drain output that pulls low when the FB voltage falls below 1.20V (1.25V – 50mV), indicating an open LED string. It remains latched during PWM low periods and updates on the next PWM high transition. An external pull-up resistor (<1mA) is required. This feature is exclusive to LT3755-2 variants and is not present on LT3755 or LT3755-1.
Can the LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF drive a buck topology for LED current regulation?
Yes, the LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF supports buck topology by connecting the LED string between VIN and the switch node, with ISP/ISN sensing the high-side current. Its high-side current sense architecture and wide 4.5V–40V input range make it suitable for buck configurations down to ~2V output - commonly used in automotive daytime running lights (DRLs) where VIN exceeds LED forward voltage.
What is the purpose of the CTRL pin on the LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF?
The CTRL pin on the LT3755HMSE-2#TRPBF adjusts the ISP–ISN current sense threshold from 0mV to 100mV linearly over 0–1V, enabling analog dimming and thermal foldback. At VCTRL > 1.2V, the threshold clamps at 100mV for full-scale current. This pin allows precise LED current scaling without changing the sense resistor, supporting closed-loop thermal management using an NTC thermistor network referenced to VREF.
