Product details
Overview
LT3755IMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a constant-frequency, current-mode DC/DC LED controller driving external N-channel MOSFETs in boost, buck, buck-boost, SEPIC, or flyback topologies. It delivers up to 75V output, supports 4.5V–40V input, provides 100mV high-side current sensing, enables 3000:1 PWM dimming, and features AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive headlamp drivers.
For engineers reviewing the LT3755IMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3755IMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3755IMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3755IMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include high-side current sense architecture, programmable 100kHz–1MHz switching frequency, open LED protection with OPENLED status pin, adjustable undervoltage lockout, and thermally enhanced MSOP-16 packaging for automotive-grade thermal reliability.
Technical Context
The LT3755IMSE#TRPBF implements a fixed-frequency current-mode control architecture with internal 7.15V INTVCC regulator powering gate driver and logic. Its ground-referenced FB pin enables dual constant-current (via ISP/ISN) and constant-voltage regulation, while the CTRL pin adjusts current-sense threshold from 0V to 1.1V for analog dimming or temperature compensation.
High-side current sensing at ISP/ISN supports flexible topology configuration without ground loop interference. The device integrates short-circuit detection (150mV threshold below 3V ISN), overvoltage protection (FB > VFB + 60mV forces PWMOUT low), and open LED detection (FB < VFB – 50mV asserts OPENLED), all operating across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT3755IMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3755IMSE#TRPBF supports output voltages up to 75V, enabling direct drive of long LED strings in boost or SEPIC configurations. This rating is defined by the absolute maximum ISP/ISN voltage of 75V and is validated across the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The LT3755IMSE#TRPBF maintains stable current regulation even at 75V output when paired with appropriately rated external components including MOSFET, diode, and output capacitor.
Does the LT3755IMSE#TRPBF support both constant-current and constant-voltage regulation?
Yes, the LT3755IMSE#TRPBF supports dual regulation modes. Constant-current regulation is achieved using high-side current sensing at ISP/ISN pins with threshold set by CTRL pin voltage. Constant-voltage regulation uses the FB pin referenced to an internal 1.25V bandgap, allowing the device to regulate output voltage independently or provide open LED protection. Both loops operate simultaneously, with priority given to current regulation under normal LED load conditions.
What is the function of the OPENLED pin on the LT3755IMSE#TRPBF?
The OPENLED pin on the LT3755IMSE#TRPBF is an open-collector output that pulls low when the FB pin voltage falls below VFB – 50mV (typical), indicating an open LED condition. It requires an external pull-up resistor (<1mA current) and latches its state during PWM low periods. This pin is present on LT3755 and LT3755-2 variants but replaced by SYNC on LT3755-1. The LT3755IMSE#TRPBF corresponds to the base LT3755 variant and includes functional OPENLED reporting.
How is switching frequency programmed on the LT3755IMSE#TRPBF?
Switching frequency on the LT3755IMSE#TRPBF is programmed using an external resistor connected from the RT pin to ground. The relationship is approximately fSW ≈ 106/RRT(Ω) kHz, yielding 375kHz with a 26.7kΩ resistor. Frequency is adjustable from 100kHz to 1MHz, and the RT pin must not be left floating. The LT3755IMSE#TRPBF's frequency programming enables optimization of efficiency, EMI, and magnetic component size without changing IC or layout.
Is the LT3755IMSE#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LT3755IMSE#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. As an "I" grade part, it is specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and has undergone stress testing per AEC-Q100 Rev H requirements. The "IMSE" suffix denotes Industrial/Automotive temperature grade in MSOP package, and the device is widely deployed in automotive LED headlamp systems requiring high reliability under under-hood thermal and vibration conditions.
