Product details
Overview
LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage, constant-current LED controller optimized for automotive-grade high-power lighting. 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 - deployed in white LED headlamp drivers achieving 94% efficiency at 30W.
For engineers reviewing the LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF datasheet, LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF pinout, LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF application, or LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 qualification, J-grade (–40°C to +150°C) thermal rating, 100mV high-side current sense threshold, open LED protection via OPENLED pin, and programmable 100kHz–1MHz switching frequency.
Technical Context
The LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with an internal 7.15V regulated INTVCC supply driving an N-channel MOSFET gate. Its dual-loop architecture simultaneously regulates LED current via ISP/ISN differential sensing and supports constant-voltage operation through FB feedback referenced to 1.25V.
It integrates dedicated protection logic: OPENLED asserts on FB < 1.20V (–4% of VFB), PWMOUT forces low on FB > 1.31V (+5% of VFB), and short-circuit detection activates when ISP–ISN > 150mV below 3V common-mode voltage - all validated across its full –40°C to +150°C junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm) with exposed pad (Pin 17) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 4°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (Pin 1) | Buffered PWM output / Overvoltage fault signal | Drives external NMOS disconnect switch; pulled low if FB exceeds 1.31V to isolate LED string during overvoltage events. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Voltage loop feedback input | Regulates to 1.25V nominal; enables CV mode and triggers OPENLED assertion when < 1.20V (open LED detection). |
| ISN (Pin 3) | Negative current sense input | High-side current sense return; bias current < 25µA; enables short-circuit detection below 3V common-mode. |
| ISP (Pin 4) | Positive current sense input | High-side current sense input; combined ISP/ISN bias < 55µA; used with CTRL to scale current threshold. |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | High-impedance during PWM low; stores demand state; requires RC compensation network for loop stability. |
| CTRL (Pin 6) | Current threshold programming | Sets ISP–ISN threshold from 0–100mV linearly (0–1V) then clamps at 100mV (>1.2V); enables analog dimming. |
| VREF (Pin 7) | 2.00V reference output | Stable 2V source (±1.75%) for CTRL divider or temperature compensation networks; supplies ≤100µA. |
| PWM (Pin 8) | Digital dimming enable | Active-high; internal pull-down; disables switching and idles oscillator when low; synchronizes PWMOUT. |
| OPENLED (Pin 9) | Open LED status indicator | Open-collector output; pulls down when FB < 1.20V; latched during PWM low; reasserts after FB recovers (LT3756-2 behavior). |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-start timing 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 & input undervoltage detect | 1.22V falling threshold with 20mV hysteresis; 2.1µA pull-down enables programmable hysteresis via external divider. |
| INTVCC (Pin 13) | Internal LDO output (7.15V) | Supplies gate driver and logic; requires 4.7µF local ceramic bypass; shuts down if < 4.1V to protect external FET. |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Main power input | Accepts 6–100V; must be bypassed with ≥0.22µF ceramic capacitor near pin; powers INTVCC LDO. |
| 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 between INTVCC and GND; high-Z during shutdown/fault; 35ns rise/fall into 3.3nF. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power & signal ground | Exposed thermal pad; connects to PCB ground plane; serves as SENSE return and current sense reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3783EFE#PBF | Fixed 200kHz–2MHz frequency; no OPENLED pin; lower max VIN (60V); non-AEC-Q100. | Suitable for industrial LED drivers where automotive qualification and open-LED reporting are not required. | Select LTC3783EFE#PBF only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs needing higher frequency flexibility but sacrificing fault visibility. |
| LM3410XSDX/NOPB | Single-ended boost-only; max VIN 42V; no high-side sensing; no programmable dimming; no AEC-Q100. | Targeted at low-power (<5W), non-automotive portable LED applications with simple topology needs. | Choose LM3410XSDX/NOPB only for compact, low-cost consumer lighting where 100V capability and diagnostic features are unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC3783EFE#PBF and LM3410XSDX/NOPB, LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 100V operation, high-side sensing, and integrated OPENLED/PWMOUT fault signaling - making it the sole choice for safety-critical automotive LED systems requiring full diagnostics and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF?
The LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +150°C, confirmed by its J-grade qualification and thermal specifications in the official Analog Devices datasheet Rev. C. This rating enables deployment in under-hood automotive locations where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C. The device incorporates overtemperature protection that temporarily suspends switching above this limit to preserve reliability. All electrical characteristics in the datasheet are guaranteed across the full –40°C to +150°C range.
Does LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF support both constant-current and constant-voltage regulation?
Yes, LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF supports dual-loop regulation: constant-current via ISP/ISN differential sensing (with CTRL-adjustable threshold) and constant-voltage via FB feedback referenced to 1.25V. The two loops interact - the current loop dominates during normal LED operation, while the voltage loop activates during open-circuit faults. Connecting FB to GND disables CV mode; tying ISP/ISN together and CTRL to VREF disables CC mode. This flexibility allows use in LED drivers and battery charging applications.
How does the OPENLED pin function on LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF?
The OPENLED pin on LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF is an open-collector output that asserts (pulls low) when the FB voltage falls below 1.20V - indicating an open LED string. It remains latched during PWM low periods and updates upon next PWM high transition. Unlike the base LT3756, the LT3756-2 variant reasserts OPENLED once FB recovers above the open-LED threshold but stays below the overvoltage threshold (1.31V), enabling more responsive fault recovery. An external pull-up resistor < 1mA is required.
What is the purpose of the CTRL pin on LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF?
The CTRL pin on LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF programs the ISP–ISN current sense threshold: from 0–100mV linearly as VCTRL rises from 0–1V, then clamping at 100mV for VCTRL > 1.2V. This enables analog dimming by varying CTRL voltage, complements PWM dimming, and supports temperature compensation when driven from a thermistor-based divider off VREF. Leaving CTRL unconnected risks undefined current regulation; it must be tied to a defined voltage or VREF.
Is LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF pin-compatible with other LT3756 variants?
Yes, LT3756JMSE-2#WTRPBF shares identical pinout and footprint with all LT3756-x variants in the MSOP-16 package, including LT3756EMSE-2#PBF and LT3756HMSE-2#PBF. Differences lie solely in temperature grade (J-grade = –40°C to +150°C), AEC-Q100 qualification (present in #W suffix parts), and minor parameter tolerances - not pin function or assignment. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from E/I/H to J-grade within the -2 family.
