Product details
Overview
LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage constant-current LED controller designed for automotive and industrial lighting systems. It operates as a current-mode DC/DC controller driving external N-channel MOSFETs, supports 6V–100V input, delivers up to 100V output, enables 3000:1 PWM dimming, and features high-side current sensing for boost/buck/buck-boost topologies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF datasheet, LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF pinout, LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF application, or LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 100mV high-side current sense threshold, programmable 100kHz–1MHz switching frequency, open LED protection via OPENLED pin, and thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm QFN package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with internal 7.15V INTVCC regulator, ground-referenced FB pin enabling dual constant-current/constant-voltage regulation, and dedicated ISP/ISN inputs for high-side LED current sensing. Its architecture supports topology flexibility-boost, buck, buck-boost, SEPIC, or flyback-without requiring level-shifting circuitry.
It integrates an improved OPENLED status pin (LT3756-2 variant), programmable soft-start via SS pin, undervoltage lockout with hysteresis on SHDN/UVLO, and analog dimming via CTRL pin that scales the 100mV current sense threshold linearly below 1V. The VC error amplifier output stabilizes loop response with external RC compensation.

Pinout & Package
LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF uses a thermally enhanced 16-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN package with exposed GND pad (Pin 17), rated for –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (Pin 1) | Buffered PWM output | Drives LED disconnect NMOS; toggles low during FB overvoltage (>VFB + 60mV) to protect LEDs. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Voltage feedback input | Regulates to 1.25V nominal; enables constant-voltage mode and open LED detection (pulls OPENLED when FB < VFB – 50mV). |
| ISN (Pin 3) | Negative current sense input | High-side current sense return; enables short-circuit detection 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 100mV threshold sensing. |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | Transconductance amplifier output; requires external RC network for loop stability and transient response. |
| CTRL (Pin 6) | Current threshold adjust | Scales ISP–ISN threshold from 0V to 100mV (linear below 1V); sets full-scale 100mV above 1.2V. |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2V reference output | Stable 2V source (±2%); supplies bias for CTRL divider or temperature compensation networks; drives ≤100µA. |
| PWM (Pin 8) | Digital dimming input | Active-high enable; internal pull-down; controls oscillator, GATE, and PWMOUT; low state reduces IQ to <1µA. |
| OPENLED (Pin 9) | Open LED fault indicator | Open-collector output; pulls low when FB < VFB – 50mV (LT3756-2 feature); requires external <1mA pull-up. |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-start control | 10µA internal pull-up to 2.5V rail; external capacitor sets ramp time; reset by UVLO or thermal fault. |
| RT (Pin 11) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency (100kΩ = ~100kHz, 10kΩ = ~1MHz); no internal pull-up/down. |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 12) | Shutdown & UVLO input | 1.22V falling threshold with programmable hysteresis; sub-µA bias above threshold; enables/disables IC. |
| INTVCC (Pin 13) | Internal regulated supply | 7.15V LDO output (±3%); powers gate driver, PWMOUT, and internal logic; bypass with 4.7µF ceramic. |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Main power input | Accepts 6V–100V; local 0.22µF+ ceramic bypass required; powers INTVCC LDO and internal circuits. |
| SENSE (Pin 15) | Low-side switch current sense | Kelvin-connected to source of external N-MOSFET; monitors switch current for slope-compensated current-mode control. |
| GATE (Pin 16) | N-MOSFET gate driver | Drives external FET gate between INTVCC and GND; clamped to GND during shutdown/fault/idle. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power & signal ground | Common reference for all circuits; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3756IMSE-2#TRPBF | Same functionality and specs, but in 16-lead MSOP package (4.9mm × 3mm); higher θJA (43°C/W vs 68°C/W). | Preferred where board space allows larger footprint and thermal vias are less accessible. | Select for legacy MSOP-compatible designs or when QFN assembly infrastructure is unavailable. |
| LT3762IUD#TRPBF | Successor device with integrated 3.3A MOSFET driver, higher 150V input rating, and enhanced fault diagnostics-but no OPENLED pin. | Suitable for new designs prioritizing integration and higher voltage margin over discrete FET flexibility. | Choose when replacing aging LT3756 designs and system-level validation supports updated protection logic. |
Compared with LT3756IMSE-2#TRPBF, the LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF offers superior thermal performance in space-constrained layouts due to its smaller QFN footprint and lower θJA; versus LT3762IUD#TRPBF, it retains the dedicated OPENLED status pin critical for fail-safe LED array monitoring in automotive and medical applications.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF and LT3756IUD#TRPBF?
The LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF incorporates the improved OPENLED status pin introduced in the LT3756-2 variant, which latches and re-asserts the open-LED fault signal after overvoltage recovery-unlike the base LT3756 (non–2) version that holds OPENLED de-asserted until FB drops below both thresholds. This behavior enhances fault diagnostics in automotive lighting systems where transient overvoltages are common.
Does LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF support constant-voltage regulation in addition to constant-current mode?
Yes, LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF supports both modes. When configured with FB feedback (e.g., via resistive divider from output), it regulates output voltage to 1.25V at the FB pin. Simultaneously, the ISP/ISN current sense loop remains active-so if LED current exceeds the CTRL-set threshold, the controller defaults to constant-current regulation, providing inherent current limiting during CV operation.
What is the recommended minimum capacitor value for the INTVCC pin on LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF?
Analog Devices specifies a minimum 4.7µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor rated for ≥10V, placed as close as possible to the INTVCC pin and GND. This value supports typical gate drive currents and ensures stable LDO operation; undersizing risks GATE driver instability or premature INTVCC UVLO triggering during high-frequency switching.
Can LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF drive a buck-boost LED topology, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF explicitly supports buck-boost configurations using high-side current sensing. Critical considerations include ensuring ISP/ISN common-mode voltage stays within 2.9V–100V, selecting appropriate transformer turns ratio and leakage inductance, and verifying that the OPENLED function remains valid under buck-boost output ripple conditions-especially when FB is tied to output for CV mode.
Is LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF pin-compatible with other variants like LT3756EUD-2#TRPBF?
Yes, LT3756IUD-2#TRPBF is pin-compatible with all LT3756-2 variants in the same QFN package (e.g., LT3756EUD-2#TRPBF), differing only in temperature grade (I-grade = –40°C to +125°C; E-grade = 0°C to +125°C). Electrical specifications, pin functions, and layout are identical-making them direct drop-in replacements where extended low-temperature operation is not required.
