Product details
Overview
LT3755IUD-2#PBF from Analog Devices is a constant-frequency, current-mode DC/DC LED controller optimized for high-current automotive and industrial lighting. It drives an external N-channel MOSFET, supports 4.5V–40V input, delivers up to 75V output, features 100mV high-side current sensing, and enables true-color PWM dimming up to 3000:1 in boost/buck/buck-boost topologies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3755IUD-2#PBF datasheet, LT3755IUD-2#PBF pinout, LT3755IUD-2#PBF application, or LT3755IUD-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, open-LED protection with dedicated OPENLED pin, programmable frequency (100kHz–1MHz), 1.25V FB regulation, and thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm QFN package with exposed ground pad.
Technical Context
The LT3755IUD-2#PBF implements a fixed-frequency current-mode control architecture with internal 7.15V INTVCC regulator powering the gate driver and logic. Its high-side current sense inputs (ISP/ISN) enable flexible topology support-boost, buck, buck-boost, SEPIC, or flyback-without requiring ground-referenced LED strings.
It integrates dual-loop regulation: LED current is controlled via ISP–ISN differential voltage (programmable from 0 to 100mV using CTRL), while FB provides constant-voltage feedback referenced to 1.25V. The LT3755-2 variant adds improved open-LED status reporting on the OPENLED pin with latched fault behavior during PWM idle states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 40V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank and load-dump conditions. |
| Output Voltage Capability | Up to 75V - enables driving long series strings of high-brightness white LEDs. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 100mV (typical) at ISP–ISN - sets precise LED current with minimal power loss in sense resistor. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100kHz to 1MHz - adjustable via RT resistor to balance efficiency, EMI, and magnetics size. |
| FB Regulation Voltage | 1.25V (nominal) - stable reference for constant-voltage loop or overvoltage protection. |
| CTRL Pin Adjustment Range | 0V to 1.1V - linearly scales current threshold from 0mV to full-scale 100mV for analog dimming. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables ultra-low-power standby in always-on automotive systems. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and industrial ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT3755IUD-2#PBF uses a thermally enhanced 16-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN package with exposed ground pad (Pin 17), rated for –40°C to +125°C operation. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (Pin 1) | Buffered PWM output | 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 CV regulation or open-LED detection; regulates to 1.25V nominal. |
| ISN (Pin 3) | Negative current sense input | High-side current sense return; enables short-circuit detection when ISN < 3V. |
| ISP (Pin 4) | Positive current sense input | High-side current sense high side; bias current varies with CTRL voltage per datasheet curve. |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | Integrates error signal for loop stability; high-impedance during PWM low to retain state. |
| CTRL (Pin 6) | Current threshold control | Sets ISP–ISN regulation point: 100mV when VCTRL > 1.2V; linear scaling below 1V. |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2.0V reference output | Stable 2.0V source (±2%) for CTRL divider or temperature compensation networks. |
| PWM (Pin 8) | Digital dimming input | Active-high enable; controls switching and resets VC state; internal pull-down. |
| OPENLED (Pin 9) | Open-LED fault indicator | Open-collector output asserted when FB < VFB – 50mV; latched during PWM idle (LT3755-2 feature). |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-start control | 10µA pull-up to 2.5V rail; external capacitor sets startup ramp time and prevents inrush. |
| RT (Pin 11) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets oscillator frequency; 100kΩ = ~375kHz per typical curve. |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 12) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | 1.22V falling threshold with programmable hysteresis; disables IC below VIN min. |
| INTVCC (Pin 13) | Internal LDO output | 7.15V regulated supply for gate driver and logic; requires 4.7µF local ceramic bypass. |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Main power input | 4.5V–40V input; must be bypassed with ≥0.22µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| SENSE (Pin 15) | Low-side current sense | Kelvin-connected to FET source; monitors switch current for slope-compensated current mode control. |
| GATE (Pin 16) | MOSFET gate driver | Drives external N-channel FET between INTVCC and GND; clamped during fault/shutdown. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 17) | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and current sense return path. |

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT3755IUD-2#PBF and the standard LT3755IUD#PBF?
The LT3755IUD-2#PBF includes an improved OPENLED pin implementation that latches the open-LED fault condition during PWM idle periods and reasserts it upon PWM reactivation-unlike the base LT3755IUD#PBF, which deasserts OPENLED when PWM goes low. This behavior enhances diagnostic reliability in pulsed-dimming automotive systems. All other electrical specifications and pinouts remain identical between the two variants.
Can LT3755IUD-2#PBF operate in buck configuration with high-side current sensing?
Yes, LT3755IUD-2#PBF supports buck topology using high-side current sensing via ISP and ISN pins-enabling the LED string to remain grounded while maintaining accurate current regulation. This eliminates ground-loop issues common in multi-string industrial fixtures. The controller's architecture inherently supports buck, boost, buck-boost, SEPIC, and flyback configurations without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the minimum recommended capacitor value for the INTVCC pin on LT3755IUD-2#PBF?
The minimum recommended capacitor for the INTVCC pin on LT3755IUD-2#PBF is 4.7µF, using a 10V-rated X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the pin. This value ensures stable LDO operation and supplies peak gate drive current during switching transitions. Lower values may cause INTVCC droop, leading to inconsistent gate drive or premature UVLO shutdown under heavy load.
How does the CTRL pin on LT3755IUD-2#PBF affect LED current regulation?
The CTRL pin on LT3755IUD-2#PBF directly programs the ISP–ISN current sense threshold: for VCTRL > 1.2V, the threshold is fixed at 100mV; for 0V < VCTRL < 1V, it scales linearly from 0mV to 100mV; and between 1V–1.2V, it transitions smoothly to full scale. This enables precise analog dimming or temperature-based current derating using the internal 2.0V VREF output as a stable reference for the CTRL divider network.
Is LT3755IUD-2#PBF compatible with synchronous rectification in boost mode?
No, LT3755IUD-2#PBF is not designed for synchronous rectification. It drives only a single external N-channel MOSFET via the GATE pin and relies on a diode for the freewheeling path in boost mode. Synchronous operation would require a second gate driver and complementary timing control-neither of which is implemented in the LT3755IUD-2#PBF architecture. For synchronous boost, consider the LT8390 or LT8705 families instead.
