Product details
Overview
LT3756IUD#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage constant-current LED controller IC designed for automotive and industrial LED drivers. 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#TRPBF datasheet, LT3756IUD#TRPBF pinout, LT3756IUD#TRPBF application, or LT3756IUD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 100mV high-side current sense threshold, 100kHz–1MHz adjustable switching frequency, AEC-Q100 qualification, thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm QFN package, and dual regulation (constant-current + constant-voltage) capability.
Technical Context
The LT3756IUD#TRPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with internal 7.15V INTVCC regulator, ground-referenced FB pin for voltage loop regulation and open-LED protection, and programmable CTRL pin for analog dimming. Its high-side ISP/ISN current sense architecture enables flexible topology selection without requiring floating sense amplifiers.
It integrates PWM disconnect switch driver, programmable soft-start, undervoltage lockout with hysteresis, and thermal shutdown. The device supports true-color PWM dimming via dedicated PWM input and analog dimming via CTRL pin, with open-LED fault reporting on OPENLED pin (active-low open-drain).

Pinout & Package
LT3756IUD#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). The package provides low θJA = 68°C/W and requires PCB-level thermal management via soldered exposed pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (Pin 1) | Buffered PWM output / Overvoltage fault signal | Drives NMOS disconnect switch; pulled low when FB exceeds VFB + 60mV to protect LEDs from overvoltage events. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Voltage feedback / Open-LED detection input | Regulates to 1.25V nominal; asserts OPENLED when FB falls below VFB – 50mV, indicating open-string condition. |
| ISN (Pin 3) | Negative current sense input | High-side current sense return; bias current <25µA; enables short-circuit detection when ISN < 3V. |
| ISP (Pin 4) | Positive current sense input | High-side current sense high side; common-mode range up to 100V; bias current varies with CTRL voltage. |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | Transconductance amplifier output; used for loop compensation; high-impedance during PWM low for state retention. |
| CTRL (Pin 6) | Analog dimming / Current threshold control | Programs ISP–ISN threshold from 0V to 100mV linearly (0–1V), then holds full-scale above 1.2V. |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2.0V reference output | Stable 2.0V reference (±2%) sourcing up to 100µA; used to bias CTRL or temperature-compensate LED current. |
| PWM (Pin 8) | Digital dimming enable | Active-high; disables switching and idles oscillator when low; internal pull-down; drives PWMOUT synchronously. |
| OPENLED (Pin 9) | Open-LED status indicator | Open-drain output asserted low when FB < VFB – 50mV; requires external pull-up <1mA; latched during PWM low. |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-start timing | 10µA internal pull-up to 2.5V rail; external capacitor sets startup ramp time; reset by UVLO or thermal fault. |
| RT (Pin 11) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets oscillator frequency (100kΩ → ~100kHz, 10kΩ → ~1MHz); no internal pull-up/down. |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 12) | Shutdown & input undervoltage detection | 1.22V falling threshold with user-programmable hysteresis via resistor divider; sub-µA quiescent current in shutdown. |
| INTVCC (Pin 13) | Internal regulated supply | 7.15V LDO output powering gate driver and logic; requires 4.7µF local ceramic bypass; UVLO trips at 4.1V. |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Main power input | Accepts 6V–100V; must be bypassed with ≥0.22µF ceramic cap near pin; powers INTVCC and internal circuitry. |
| 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 FET gate between INTVCC and GND; clamped low during shutdown/fault/idle states. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power & signal ground | Exposed thermal pad; serves as current sense return for SENSE and ISN; must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3756IMSE#TRPBF | Same functionality and specs, but in 16-lead MSOP package (4mm × 3mm); higher θJA = 43°C/W; no exposed thermal pad. | Preferred where board space permits larger footprint and thermal requirements are less stringent. | Select when MSOP layout compatibility exists or thermal margin >15°C is available at full load. |
| LT3762EFE#TRPBF | Higher 150V input rating; integrated 1.5A gate driver; no OPENLED pin; different CTRL dimming behavior (logarithmic vs linear). | Suitable for ultra-high-voltage industrial LED drivers (>100V input) but lacks open-LED status reporting. | Choose only if input exceeds 100V or integrated gate driver simplifies layout; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with LT3756IMSE#TRPBF, the LT3756IUD#TRPBF offers superior thermal performance in compact form factor, while LT3762EFE#TRPBF trades open-LED diagnostics for higher input voltage tolerance and integrated drive strength-making LT3756IUD#TRPBF optimal for space-constrained automotive lighting where fault visibility is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT3756IUD#TRPBF?
The LT3756IUD#TRPBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 100V, with guaranteed operation from 6V to 100V. This makes it suitable for automotive applications experiencing load-dump transients up to 100V, as well as industrial 48V and 96V DC systems. The device includes internal protection against overvoltage stress on all pins, including SHDN/UVLO and ISP/ISN.
Does the LT3756IUD#TRPBF support both constant-current and constant-voltage regulation?
Yes, the LT3756IUD#TRPBF supports dual regulation modes. Constant-current regulation is achieved via high-side ISP/ISN sensing and CTRL pin programming, while constant-voltage regulation uses the FB pin referenced to 1.25V. Both loops operate simultaneously, with priority given to current regulation unless the LED string opens-then FB takes over to prevent overvoltage.
How does the OPENLED pin function on the LT3756IUD#TRPBF?
The OPENLED pin on the LT3756IUD#TRPBF is an open-drain output that pulls low when the FB voltage drops below VFB – 50mV (typically 1.20V), signaling an open LED string. It remains latched during PWM low periods and updates when PWM goes high. An external pull-up resistor (<1mA) is required, and the pin is active only on LT3756 and LT3756-2 variants-not LT3756-1.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LT3756IUD#TRPBF use?
The LT3756IUD#TRPBF uses a 16-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 68°C/W and θJC = 4.2°C/W. Successful thermal design requires soldering the exposed pad to a large PCB copper area, as thermal performance degrades significantly without proper pad connection.
Can the LT3756IUD#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
No, the LT3756IUD#TRPBF does not support external synchronization. That feature is exclusive to the LT3756-1 variant (e.g., LT3756IUD-1#TRPBF), which replaces the OPENLED pin with SYNC functionality. The LT3756IUD#TRPBF is the base version (non–1, non–2), so it retains OPENLED but lacks SYNC capability-confirming its part number suffix contains no "-1" or "-2".
