Product details
Overview
LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a constant-frequency, current-mode DC/DC LED controller optimized for high-brightness LED drivers in automotive headlamps and industrial lighting. It drives an external N-channel MOSFET, supports 4.5V–40V input, delivers up to 75V output, provides 100mV high-side current sensing, and enables 3000:1 PWM dimming. Its key role is precision constant-current regulation for boost/buck/buck-boost LED topologies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF datasheet, LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF pinout, LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF application, or LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed AEC-Q100 qualification, real-world dimming performance data, and manufacturer-confirmed alternative options - all specific to the LT3755IMSE-2 variant in MSOP package.
Technical Context
The LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with internal 7.15V INTVCC regulator, ground-referenced FB pin for CV/CC dual-loop operation, and dedicated high-side ISP/ISN current sense inputs enabling topology flexibility. Its oscillator frequency is programmable from 100kHz to 1MHz via RT resistor.
It features improved open-LED status reporting via OPENLED pin (active-low open-collector), programmable undervoltage lockout with hysteresis on SHDN/UVLO, and analog dimming via CTRL pin that scales the 100mV current sense threshold linearly below 1V. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and is AEC-Q100 qualified.

Pinout & Package
LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). The package measures 4.9mm × 3.0mm × 1.1mm and requires soldering of the exposed pad to the PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (Pin 1) | Buffered PWM output driver | Drives external NMOS disconnect switch; toggles low during FB overvoltage (>VFB + 60mV) to protect LEDs. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Voltage feedback input | Ground-referenced node for constant-voltage regulation or open-LED detection (threshold = VFB − 50mV). |
| ISN (Pin 3) | Negative current sense input | High-side current sense return; enables short-circuit protection when ISN < 3V and ISP−ISN > 150mV. |
| ISP (Pin 4) | Positive current sense input | High-side current sense input; bias current varies with CTRL voltage; used with ISN for LED current regulation. |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | Transconductance amplifier output; stabilizes loop with RC network; high-impedance during PWM low for state retention. |
| CTRL (Pin 6) | Analog dimming control | Scales current sense threshold from 0V to 1.1V; 0–1V gives linear 10× scaling (e.g., 0.5V → 50mV threshold). |
| 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; low disables switching, idles oscillator, and forces GATE/PWMOUT low; internal pull-down. |
| OPENLED (Pin 9) | Open-LED fault indicator | Open-collector output asserted when FB < VFB − 50mV; requires external pull-up <1mA; latched during PWM low. |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-start timing | 10µA internal pull-up to 2.5V rail; soft-start time set by external capacitor; reset by UVLO or thermal shutdown. |
| RT (Pin 11) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets oscillator frequency (100kΩ → ~375kHz); must not be left floating. |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 12) | Shutdown & input monitoring | 1.22V falling threshold with programmable hysteresis; sub-µA bias above threshold; pulls down 2.1µA below threshold. |
| INTVCC (Pin 13) | Internal LDO supply | 7.15V regulated output powers gate driver and logic; requires 4.7µF ceramic bypass close to pin. |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Main input supply | 4.5V–40V input; must be bypassed with ≥0.22µF ceramic capacitor near IC; powers INTVCC LDO. |
| SENSE (Pin 15) | Low-side current sense | Kelvin-connected to high-side of RSENSE; monitors switch current for slope-compensated current-mode control. |
| GATE (Pin 16) | MOSFET gate driver | Drives external N-channel FET gate between INTVCC and GND; fast rise/fall (<35ns) into 3300pF load. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 17) | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; serves as primary thermal path and current sense return for SENSE. |

FAQ
What is the key difference between LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF and the LT3755-1 variant?
The LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF includes an improved OPENLED status pin with re-assertion logic after overvoltage events clear, whereas the LT3755-1 replaces OPENLED with a SYNC pin for oscillator synchronization. This makes LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF ideal for automotive fault-reporting systems requiring persistent open-LED indication, while LT3755-1 suits noise-sensitive applications needing external clock alignment.
Does LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF support buck-mode LED driving?
Yes, LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF supports buck-mode operation using high-side current sensing - a key advantage over traditional low-side controllers. When configured in buck topology, the ISP/ISN inputs monitor LED current directly at the high side of the string, preserving ground integrity and enabling seamless integration with existing LED module designs.
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF?
The LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF supports output voltages up to 75V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Applications sections of the official datasheet. This capability enables driving long series strings of high-brightness LEDs in automotive headlamps and commercial lighting fixtures without cascading converters.
How does the CTRL pin function for analog dimming in LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF?
In LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF, the CTRL pin adjusts the ISP–ISN current sense threshold linearly from 0V to 1.1V: below 1V, threshold = 10 × VCTRL; above 1.2V, threshold is fixed at 100mV. This allows precise analog dimming control using a simple DAC or potentiometer, independent of PWM timing - essential for flicker-free dimming in video studio and medical lighting.
Is LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF pin-compatible with other LT3755 variants in MSOP package?
Yes, all LT3755 variants in the 16-lead MSOP package - including LT3755IMSE#TRPBF, LT3755IMSE-1#TRPBF, and LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF - share identical pinout and footprint. However, functionality differs per variant: LT3755IMSE-2#TRPBF uses Pin 9 as OPENLED, while LT3755IMSE-1#TRPBF uses it as SYNC. Board design must match the selected variant's functional pin assignment.
