Product details
Overview
LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage, constant-current LED controller designed for automotive-grade LED driver applications. It operates from 6V to 100V input, delivers up to 100V output, supports 3000:1 PWM dimming, and features high-side current sensing for boost/buck/buck-boost topologies. It drives external N-channel MOSFETs with a regulated 7.15V gate drive supply and includes open-LED protection - used in headlamp drivers and industrial lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF datasheet, LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF pinout, LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF application, or LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 qualification, –40°C to +150°C junction temperature rating, 100mV high-side current sense threshold, programmable 100kHz–1MHz switching frequency, and integrated open-LED status reporting via OPENLED pin.
Technical Context
The LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with an internal transconductance error amplifier (VC) and dual-loop regulation - supporting both constant-current (via ISP/ISN differential sensing) and constant-voltage (via FB) operation. Its high-side current sense architecture enables flexible topology selection including boost, buck, buck-boost, SEPIC, and flyback.
It integrates a 7.15V LDO for gate driving, programmable soft-start (SS), adjustable UVLO with hysteresis (SHDN/UVLO), and dedicated protection features: open-LED detection (FB < VFB – 50mV), overvoltage shutdown (FB > VFB + 60mV), short-circuit detection (ISP–ISN > 150mV at low common-mode), and thermal shutdown at 165°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 100V - supports wide-range automotive battery inputs including cold-crank and load-dump transients. |
| Output Voltage Capability | Up to 100V - enables driving long LED strings in headlamps and architectural lighting without cascading stages. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 100mV (typical) across 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 optimize efficiency, EMI, or magnetic component size. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +150°C - H-grade qualification ensures reliability in under-hood automotive environments. |
| PWM Dimming Ratio | 3000:1 - enables true-color, flicker-free dimming for adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS). |
| Open-LED Detection | FB < VFB – 50mV (typ) - asserts OPENLED pin to signal fault condition while maintaining system-level diagnostics. |
Pinout & Package
LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF 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. θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 4°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (Pin 1) | Buffered PWM output / Overvoltage fault indicator | Drives external disconnect FET; pulled low when FB exceeds VFB + 60mV to isolate LED string during overvoltage events. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Voltage feedback input | Regulates output voltage to 1.25V nominal; enables CV mode and triggers OPENLED when below VFB – 50mV. |
| ISN (Pin 3) | Negative current sense input | High-side current sense return; bias current ≤25µA; participates in short-circuit detection when VISN < 3V. |
| ISP (Pin 4) | Positive current sense input | High-side current sense input; monitors LED string current; combined with ISN sets ILED = 100mV/RSENSE. |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | Integrates regulation error; connects to RC compensation network; high-impedance during PWM low for state retention. |
| CTRL (Pin 6) | Current threshold adjustment | Programs ISP–ISN threshold from 0V to 100mV linearly (0–1V), then clamps at full scale (>1.2V); enables analog dimming. |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2.00V reference output | Stable 2V source (±2% over temp); supplies CTRL divider or temperature compensation circuitry; max 100µA load. |
| PWM (Pin 8) | Digital dimming enable | Active-high logic input; disables switching, idles oscillator, and forces GATE/PWMOUT low when low; internal pull-down. |
| OPENLED (Pin 9) | Open-LED status output | 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 current charges external capacitor; controls startup ramp rate and prevents inrush; reset by UVLO or thermal fault. |
| RT (Pin 11) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets oscillator frequency (100kHz–1MHz); value determines slope of ramp generator and timing accuracy. |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 12) | Shutdown & undervoltage detect | 1.22V falling threshold with programmable hysteresis; sub-µA bias above threshold; enables/disables IC based on VIN health. |
| INTVCC (Pin 13) | Internal LDO output | 7.15V regulated supply (±150mV) for gate driver and logic; requires 4.7µF local ceramic bypass; current-limited to ~17mA. |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Main power input | Accepts 6–100V; powers INTVCC LDO and internal circuits; must be bypassed with ≥0.22µF ceramic near pin. |
| SENSE (Pin 15) | Low-side switch current sense | Kelvin-connected to source of external N-FET; senses peak switch current; limits at 108mV to prevent MOSFET overcurrent. |
| GATE (Pin 16) | N-FET gate driver output | Drives external MOSFET gate between INTVCC and GND; rise/fall time <35ns into 3.3nF; disabled during fault or shutdown. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power & signal ground | Exposes thermal pad; serves as return for SENSE resistor and internal circuits; must be soldered to large PCB ground plane. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF?
The LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This specification enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C. Thermal design must ensure θJA × PD + TA ≤ 150°C, with the exposed pad properly soldered to a thermal plane.
Does LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF support both constant-current and constant-voltage regulation?
Yes, the LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF supports dual-loop regulation: constant-current via ISP/ISN differential sensing (targeting 100mV) and constant-voltage via the 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-LED conditions or CV-mode applications like battery charging.
How does the OPENLED pin function on LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF?
The OPENLED pin on LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF is an open-collector output that pulls low when FB falls below VFB – 50mV (typically 1.20V), indicating an open LED string. It remains latched during PWM low periods and updates only when PWM goes high. An external pull-up resistor (<1mA) is required; this pin is unique to LT3756 and LT3756-2 variants - absent on LT3756-1.
Can LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF drive a buck configuration?
Yes, the LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF supports buck topology through high-side current sensing - unlike traditional low-side controllers. In buck mode, the LED string connects between input and switch node, with ISP/ISN sensing current upstream of the inductor. This configuration maintains ground-referenced LED cathodes and avoids floating return paths, simplifying EMI and safety compliance.
What is the purpose of the CTRL pin on LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF?
The CTRL pin on LT3756HMSE-2#TRPBF adjusts the ISP–ISN current sense threshold from 0mV to 100mV: linearly proportional to VCTRL (0–1V), then clamped above 1.2V. This enables analog dimming, temperature compensation (e.g., reducing current as LED junction temperature rises), or programmable current limiting - all without modifying the sense resistor.
