Product details
Overview
LT3756IUD-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a constant-current, constant-voltage DC/DC LED controller optimized for high-side current sensing in boost, buck, or buck-boost topologies. It features 100V input capability, 100V output support, 100 mV high-side current sense threshold, adjustable 100 kHz–1 MHz switching frequency, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive LED headlamp drivers.
For engineers reviewing the LT3756IUD-1#PBF datasheet, LT3756IUD-1#PBF pinout, LT3756IUD-1#PBF application, or LT3756IUD-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3000:1 PWM dimming ratio, open LED protection via FB-based fault detection, programmable undervoltage lockout with hysteresis, and compatibility with thermally demanding automotive ambient conditions (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The LT3756IUD-1#PBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with internal 7.15 V regulated INTVCC supply driving an N-channel MOSFET gate. Its dual-loop architecture supports simultaneous regulation of LED string current (via ISP/ISN differential sensing) and output voltage (via FB reference at 1.25 V), with cross-protection logic preventing overvoltage and open-circuit faults.
Unlike the base LT3756 and LT3756-2 variants, the LT3756-1 family adds frequency synchronization capability via the SYNC pin-replacing OPENLED functionality-and maintains identical current-sense threshold programming (100 mV full-scale), soft-start, and CTRL-based analog dimming behavior across all grades.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 100 V - supports wide-range automotive battery systems including cold-crank and load-dump transients. |
| Output Voltage Capability | Up to 100 V - enables single-stage high-brightness LED string drive without cascaded converters. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 100 mV (typical) - sets LED current ILED = 100 mV / RSENSE; low value minimizes power loss in sense resistor. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100 kHz to 1 MHz - adjustable via RT resistor to balance efficiency, EMI, and magnetic component size. |
| Operating Temperature Range | –40°C to 125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade I for under-hood automotive lighting applications. |
| Dimming Support | 3000:1 true-color PWM dimming + analog dimming via CTRL pin - preserves color consistency across brightness levels. |
| Package | 16-lead (3 mm × 3 mm) QFN with exposed thermal pad - provides low θJA = 68°C/W for high-power density designs. |
Pinout & Package
LT3756IUD-1#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead (3 mm × 3 mm) plastic QFN package with exposed GND pad (Pin 17), requiring soldering to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (Pin 1) | Buffered PWM output | Drives external NMOS disconnect switch; toggles low during FB overvoltage (>1.25 V + 60 mV) to isolate LED load. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Voltage feedback input | Regulates output voltage to 1.25 V; triggers OPENLED pull-down when <1.20 V (open LED detection). |
| ISN (Pin 3) | Negative current sense input | High-side current sense return; bias current ≤25 µA; enables short-circuit detection below 3 V common-mode. |
| ISP (Pin 4) | Positive current sense input | High-side current sense high side; combined ISP/ISN differential threshold = 100 mV ±2 mV (full-scale). |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | Integrates loop error; high-impedance during PWM low to retain state; requires RC compensation network. |
| CTRL (Pin 6) | Analog dimming control | Programs current sense threshold: 0–1 V → linear scaling; >1.2 V → fixed 100 mV; enables precise analog dimming. |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2 V reference output | Stable 2 V source (±20 mV) for CTRL divider or temperature compensation networks; drives ≤100 µA. |
| PWM (Pin 8) | Digital dimming input | Active-high enable; internal pull-down; controls oscillator, GATE, and PWMOUT; supports 3000:1 PWM dimming. |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-start timing | 10 µA internal current charges external capacitor; sets startup ramp time and prevents inrush current. |
| RT (Pin 11) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets oscillator frequency; 100 kΩ → ~100 kHz; 10 kΩ → ~1 MHz. |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 12) | Enable & undervoltage detect | 1.22 V falling threshold with user-programmable hysteresis; resets soft-start on UVLO event. |
| INTVCC (Pin 13) | Internal LDO output | 7.15 V regulated supply (±150 mV); powers gate driver and logic; requires 4.7 µF local ceramic bypass. |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Main power input | Accepts 6–100 V; must be bypassed with ≥0.22 µF ceramic capacitor near IC. |
| SENSE (Pin 15) | Low-side switch current sense | Kelvin-connected to source of external N-MOSFET; monitors peak switch current for current-mode control. |
| GATE (Pin 16) | N-MOSFET gate driver | Drives external N-channel FET between INTVCC and GND; rise/fall time ≤35 ns (3300 pF load). |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power & signal ground | Exposes thermal pad; serves as current sense return path; must be soldered to large copper area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-side current sensing | Enables flexible topology selection (boost/buck/buck-boost/SEPIC/flyback) without ground-referenced LED strings. |
| SYNC input (LT3756-1 only) | Allows external clock synchronization to reduce EMI; replaces OPENLED function; requires RT set 20% slower than SYNC frequency. |
| Open LED protection | FB pin detects open-circuit condition (<1.20 V) and asserts OPENLED status (on LT3756/LT3756-2); LT3756IUD-1#PBF uses SYNC instead but retains same FB fault logic. |
| Programmable soft-start | External capacitor on SS pin controls startup dV/dt and inrush current; prevents overshoot during power-up. |
| Low shutdown current | <1 µA quiescent draw when SHDN/UVLO <0.4 V - critical for always-on automotive modules. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade I qualification | Validated for –40°C to 125°C operation with lifetime reliability testing per automotive standards. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LT3756IUD-1#PBF in an LED driver circuit?
The LT3756IUD-1#PBF functions as a constant-current, constant-voltage DC/DC controller that regulates high-brightness LED strings using high-side current sensing. It drives an external N-channel MOSFET in boost, buck, or buck-boost configurations, supporting up to 100V input and output while delivering precise current control and comprehensive fault protection. Its design centers on reliability in automotive lighting applications.
How does the LT3756IUD-1#PBF differ from the standard LT3756 and LT3756-2 variants?
The LT3756IUD-1#PBF belongs to the LT3756-1 family, which replaces the OPENLED pin with a SYNC input for external clock synchronization - a feature absent in LT3756 and LT3756-2. All share identical current-sense architecture, 100mV threshold, CTRL-based analog dimming, and AEC-Q100 qualification, but only LT3756-1 supports frequency locking to reduce system-level EMI.
Can the LT3756IUD-1#PBF operate in buck mode with a 12V input driving a 5V LED string?
Yes, the LT3756IUD-1#PBF supports buck-mode operation and can regulate a 5V LED string from a 12V input. In buck configuration, the high-side current sense (ISP/ISN) remains functional, and the controller maintains constant-current regulation via the SENSE pin monitoring switch current. The FB pin may be used for optional constant-voltage backup or open-LED detection.
What thermal considerations apply to the LT3756IUD-1#PBF in continuous 30W LED driver designs?
The LT3756IUD-1#PBF uses a 3mm × 3mm QFN with exposed thermal pad (θJA = 68°C/W). For 30W output, PCB layout must include ≥2 in² of 2-oz copper connected to Pin 17 (GND) to maintain junction temperature ≤125°C. Thermal vias under the pad and airflow or heatsinking are recommended in enclosed automotive housings.
Is the LT3756IUD-1#PBF pin-compatible with other LT3756 variants in the same package?
Yes - the LT3756IUD-1#PBF shares identical 16-pin QFN pinout and footprint with LT3756IUD#PBF and LT3756IUD-2#PBF. However, the SYNC pin (Pin 9) on LT3756IUD-1#PBF replaces OPENLED functionality present on other variants, so PCB designs must route Pin 9 to a sync source rather than a pull-up resistor or fault indicator.
