Product details
Overview
LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 4.5V–60V input, constant-frequency current-mode DC/DC controller optimized for high-current LED driving in boost, SEPIC, inverting, buck-boost, and flyback topologies. It delivers ±3% constant-current regulation and ±2% constant-voltage regulation, features internal PWM dimming (4–96% duty, 300Hz typical), and supports external clock synchronization via SYNC pin. It is used in automotive headlamps requiring >100V LED strings with grounded-anode configuration.
For engineers reviewing the LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF datasheet, LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF pinout, LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF application, or LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100kHz–1MHz programmable switching frequency, rail-to-rail 0V–80V high-side/low-side current sense capability, 3000:1 True Color PWM™ dimming ratio, and thermal shutdown protection at 165°C.
Technical Context
The LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF implements a fixed-frequency current-mode control architecture with integrated gate driver and dual-loop regulation (current via ISP/ISN, voltage via FB). Its error amplifier output (VC) sets peak switch current based on either CTRL-adjusted VISP-ISN threshold (250mV full-scale) or FB reference (1.25V), enabling seamless transition between constant-current and constant-voltage modes.
Unlike the LT3761, the LT3761-1 variant replaces OPENLED with SYNC functionality: the SYNC pin accepts external logic-level clocks (100kHz–1MHz), requires RT programming to run 20% slower than sync frequency, and enables precise timing alignment for multi-phase or noise-sensitive systems. The DIM/SS pin simultaneously controls soft-start timing and PWMOUT dimming frequency/duty via internal current sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5V to 60V - supports direct connection to automotive battery (cold-crank down to 4.5V) and industrial 48V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Current Sense Range | 0V to 80V rail-to-rail - enables high-side sensing of LED strings exceeding 100V while referenced to ground. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 1MHz - adjustable via RT resistor; higher frequencies reduce inductor size but increase switching losses. |
| PWM Dimming Ratio | Up to 3000:1 - achieved with external PWM signal; internal generator provides 4–96% duty at ~300Hz for basic dimming. |
| Regulation Accuracy | ±3% CC / ±2% CV - ensures stable LED brightness and battery charging voltage across temperature and line/load variations. |
| SYNC Input Compatibility | Logic-level sync (1.5V high, 0.4V low) - allows deterministic phase alignment with system clocks or other converters. |
| Thermal Protection | 165°C junction shutdown - latches off GATE and PWMOUT until thermal recovery, preventing MOSFET overstress. |
Pinout & Package
LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND), requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (1) | Buffered PWM output | Drives NMOS disconnect FET or level-shifts PWM signal; toggles low during FB overvoltage (>VFB+60mV) for LED protection. |
| FB (2) | Voltage feedback input | Sets constant-voltage regulation point at 1.25V; enables open-LED detection when VISP-ISN <25mV and FB < VFB−50mV. |
| ISN (3) | Negative current sense input | Connects to low side of sense resistor; bias current varies with CTRL voltage and ISP/ISN differential. |
| ISP (4) | Positive current sense input | Connects to high side of sense resistor; overcurrent triggers GATE/PWMOUT shutdown if VISP-ISN >600mV. |
| VC (5) | Error amplifier output | Integrates loop error; RC compensation network here stabilizes both CC and CV loops. |
| CTRL (6) | Current threshold adjust | Linearly scales VISP-ISN threshold from 25mV (0.2V) to 250mV (≥1.2V); enables analog dimming and temperature compensation. |
| VREF (7) | 2.02V reference output | Supplies up to 185µA; used to bias CTRL divider for analog dimming or thermal foldback. |
| PWM (8) | Digital dimming input | Accepts external PWM (200µA drive capability); self-oscillates when capacitor tied to GND, with duty set by DIM/SS current. |
| SYNC (9) | External clock input | Replaces OPENLED on -1 variant; synchronizes oscillator to external logic clock; requires RT setting 20% slower than sync frequency. |
| DIM/SS (10) | Soft-start & dimming control | Charging current (12µA typ.) sets PWMOUT frequency/duty; also resets soft-start on UVLO or fault. |
| RT (11) | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency; 95.3kΩ = 100kHz, 8.87kΩ = 1MHz. |
| EN/UVLO (12) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | 1.22V falling threshold with 20mV hysteresis; 2.3µA pull-down enables precise hysteresis resistor selection. |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal LDO output | 7.85V regulated supply for gate drivers; requires 1µF ceramic bypass close to pin and exposed pad. |
| VIN (14) | Main power input | Supplies INTVCC LDO; must be bypassed with ≥0.22µF low-ESR capacitor near pin. |
| SENSE (15) | Switch current sense | Kelvin-connected to source of external N-FET; senses peak switch current with 105mV limit threshold. |
| GATE (16) | N-FET gate driver | Drives external power MOSFET between INTVCC and GND; turns off during shutdown/fault/idle. |
| GND (17) | Power & signal ground | Exposed pad; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and current sense return path. |

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF and LT3761EMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF replaces the OPENLED fault indicator pin (Pin 9) with a SYNC input for external clock synchronization, whereas the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF retains OPENLED for open-LED detection. Both share identical current/voltage regulation, dimming, and protection features-but only the -1 variant supports deterministic phase alignment with system clocks, making LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF essential for noise-sensitive or multi-converter designs.
Can LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF drive LED strings above 100V?
Yes. LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF supports rail-to-rail 0V–80V current sensing at ISP/ISN, enabling safe high-side sensing of LED strings exceeding 100V when configured in boost or SEPIC topologies with grounded-anode LEDs. Its 60V VIN rating and 80V ISP/ISN common-mode range eliminate need for level-shifting circuits in high-voltage LED applications.
How does the internal PWM dimming generator work on LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF?
The internal PWM dimming generator on LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF uses the DIM/SS pin's 12µA (typical) pull-up current to charge an external capacitor on the PWM pin. The resulting oscillation frequency and duty cycle depend on DIM/SS current magnitude-enabling programmable dimming from 4% to 96% duty at ~300Hz (with 47nF capacitor). This eliminates need for external PWM sources in basic dimming applications.
What protection features are implemented in LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF?
LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF integrates open-LED detection (via FB and ISP/ISN monitoring), output short-circuit protection (VISP-ISN >600mV triggers shutdown), overtemperature shutdown (165°C), INTVCC undervoltage lockout, and SENSE pin current limiting (105mV threshold). All protections force GATE and PWMOUT low and activate fault pulses on DIM/SS and PWM pins for reliable system-level fault handling.
Is LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF compatible with both high-side and low-side current sensing?
Yes. LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF supports configurable high-side or low-side current sensing via ISP/ISN inputs. In high-side configuration, ISP connects to LED string anode and ISN to sense resistor; in low-side, ISN connects to ground and ISP to resistor-enabling layout flexibility and compatibility with grounded-cathode or grounded-anode LED architectures without performance trade-offs.
