Product details
Overview
LT3761EMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 4.5V–60V input, constant-current/constant-voltage DC/DC controller for high-power LED drivers and battery chargers. It integrates a programmable internal PWM dimming generator (4%–96% duty), rail-to-rail high-side/low-side current sensing (0V–80V), and ±3% current regulation accuracy. It operates in boost, SEPIC, inverting, buck-boost, or flyback topologies - used in automotive headlamps requiring >25:1 internal PWM dimming and 94% efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3761EMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3761EMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3761EMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100kHz–1MHz adjustable switching frequency, open-LED protection with dedicated OPENLED pin, thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package, and support for True Color PWM™ dimming up to 3000:1 when driven externally.
Technical Context
The LT3761EMSE#TRPBF employs fixed-frequency current-mode control with slope compensation, enabling stable operation across wide VIN (4.5V–60V) and output voltage ranges. Its dual-loop architecture simultaneously regulates LED current via ISP/ISN differential sensing (full-scale threshold 250mV) and output voltage via FB (1.25V reference), with automatic loop dominance management.
It features an integrated INTVCC LDO (7.85V, 36mA), programmable soft-start via DIM/SS pin, and fault protection including overcurrent (600mV ISP–ISN), FB overvoltage (VFB + 60mV), and thermal shutdown (>165°C). The LT3761 variant (not LT3761-1) includes OPENLED status reporting and lacks SYNC capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5V to 60V - supports direct connection to automotive battery (12V/24V/48V systems) without pre-regulation |
| Current Sense Range | Rail-to-rail 0V to 80V - enables high-side sensing of grounded-anode LED strings >100V |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 1MHz (RT-programmable) - allows optimization of efficiency vs. size using 10nH–10µH inductors |
| Current Regulation Accuracy | ±3% - ensures consistent LED brightness across temperature and line/load variations |
| Internal PWM Dimming | 4% to 96% duty, 300Hz typical - provides flicker-free analog-like dimming without external oscillator |
| Open LED Detection | FB < VFB – 50mV AND ISP–ISN < 25mV - latched OPENLED pin assertion for system-level fault signaling |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables ultra-low-power standby in always-on lighting or battery backup systems |
Pinout & Package
LT3761EMSE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4mm) with exposed pad (Pin 17) soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 4°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (1) | Buffered PWM output / FB overvoltage fault indicator | Drives external NMOS disconnect switch; toggles low if FB > VFB + 60mV to protect LEDs from overvoltage |
| FB (2) | Voltage feedback input | Sets constant-voltage regulation point at 1.25V; enables open-LED detection and overvoltage shutdown |
| ISN (3) | Negative current sense input | Completes high-side or low-side current sense path; bias current varies with CTRL voltage and ISP level |
| ISP (4) | Positive current sense input | Accepts up to 80V common-mode; overcurrent detected if ISP–ISN > 600mV (typical) |
| VC (5) | Error amplifier output | High-impedance during PWM low; stores demand state on external RC network for fast transient response |
| CTRL (6) | Current sense threshold adjust | Linearly scales VISP–ISN from 25mV to 250mV (0V–1V); clamped at full scale above 1.2V |
| VREF (7) | 2.02V precision reference output | Supplies up to 185µA; used to bias CTRL divider for analog dimming or thermal compensation |
| PWM (8) | Digital dimming input / self-oscillator enable | Accepts external PWM signal (3000:1 ratio) or drives CPWM to generate internal dimming waveform |
| OPENLED (9) | Open-drain fault status output | Asserts low when open-LED condition detected; requires external pull-up to INTVCC |
| DIM/SS (10) | Soft-start / PWM dimming current source | 12µA (typ) internal pull-up sets PWMOUT duty ratio; capacitor value defines soft-start time and dimming frequency |
| RT (11) | Frequency programming resistor | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency (e.g., 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 UVLO hysteresis design |
| INTVCC (13) | Internally regulated supply | 7.85V LDO powers gate driver and logic; requires 1µF ceramic bypass close to pin and exposed pad |
| VIN (14) | Main power input | Bypass with ≥0.22µF ceramic capacitor; supplies INTVCC and internal circuitry |
| SENSE (15) | Switch current sense input | Kelvin-connected to source of external N-FET; monitors peak switch current for cycle-by-cycle limiting (105mV threshold) |
| GATE (16) | N-channel MOSFET driver output | Swings between INTVCC and GND; drives external power FET with 25ns rise/fall times (3300pF load) |
| GND (17) | Power and signal ground / exposed pad | Mandatory solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and current sense return path |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3789EMSE#TRPBF | 4-phase synchronous buck-boost controller; no integrated PWM generator; requires external gate drivers | Targets high-efficiency, high-current DC-DC conversion (e.g., 12V–48V telecom), not LED-specific protection features | Select when designing multi-phase, high-power (>200W) non-LED loads where efficiency >96% and low EMI are critical |
| MAX20051ATPA/VY+ | Automotive-grade 60V LED controller with integrated high-side switch; fixed 2.2MHz frequency; no OPENLED pin | Optimized for space-constrained automotive interior lighting; lacks programmable dimming generator and C/10 charging support | Select for ASIL-B compliant AFS modules where board area is constrained and external FETs are undesirable |
Compared with LTC3789EMSE#TRPBF and MAX20051ATPA/VY+, the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF uniquely combines LED-specific protections (OPENLED, C/10, True Color PWM™), flexible topology support (boost/SEPIC/flyback), and rail-to-rail current sensing - making it optimal for high-reliability, multi-function LED and charger designs where feature integration reduces system complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3761EMSE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 60V, with guaranteed operation from 4.5V to 60V. This allows direct connection to 48V industrial buses and automotive 12V/24V systems with transient tolerance. Exceeding 60V may cause permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
No - the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF is the standard variant and does not include SYNC functionality. Only the LT3761-1 family (e.g., LT3761EMSE-1#TRPBF) features a dedicated SYNC pin. Using LT3761EMSE#TRPBF with an external clock requires external gating of the PWM pin and forfeits internal oscillator synchronization benefits.
How is open-LED fault detection implemented in the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3761EMSE#TRPBF asserts the OPENLED pin low when two conditions occur simultaneously: FB voltage falls below VFB – 50mV (≈1.205V) AND the ISP–ISN differential drops below 25mV (C/10 threshold). This dual-condition logic prevents false triggers during CV-mode regulation or transient load steps, ensuring reliable fault reporting in LED systems.
Can the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF be used in buck configuration?
Yes - the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF supports buck, boost, SEPIC, inverting, buck-boost, and flyback topologies. In buck mode, it regulates LED current using low-side current sensing (ISN tied to GND, ISP to sense resistor) and FB feedback for output voltage clamping. Layout must maintain Kelvin connections to SENSE and GND pins for accurate current control.
What is the purpose of the DIM/SS pin on the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF?
The DIM/SS pin on the LT3761EMSE#TRPBF serves dual functions: (1) soft-start timing via external capacitor charging with 12µA internal current source, and (2) setting internal PWM dimming frequency and duty ratio. Its voltage determines PWMOUT waveform characteristics - e.g., 47nF on PWM pin yields ~300Hz dimming with duty set by DIM/SS current.
