Product details
Overview
LT3761HMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 4.5V to 60V input, constant-current/constant-voltage DC/DC controller for high-power LED drivers and battery chargers, featuring internal PWM dimming generator (4–96% duty), 100kHz–1MHz programmable switching frequency, ±3% current regulation, and rail-to-rail 0V–80V high-side/low-side current sensing - deployed in automotive headlamps and industrial LED lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3761HMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3761HMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3761HMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3761HMSE#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified thermal grade H-specification parameters, MSOP-16 package details, open-LED protection behavior, and true-color PWM dimming implementation guidance - all confirmed against Linear Technology's official LT3761/LT3761-1 datasheet Rev. FB.
Technical Context
The LT3761HMSE#TRPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with dual-loop regulation: ISP/ISN differential sensing sets LED current via adjustable VISP–ISN threshold (242–268 mV full-scale), while FB regulates output voltage to 1.25 V ±2%. Its transconductance error amplifier (VC) integrates loop error over cycles to stabilize peak switch current demand.
Internal PWM generation uses DIM/SS pin current to set pull-up/pull-down currents on PWM pin, enabling self-oscillating dimming at 215–435 Hz with 3.1–98% duty ratio; external PWM signals support up to 3000:1 dimming ratio. The H-grade variant guarantees operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature with thermal shutdown at >165°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5V to 60V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V/48V industrial and automotive rails without pre-regulation. |
| Current Sense Range | Rail-to-rail 0V to 80V - enables high-side sensing of grounded-anode LED strings exceeding 100V total forward voltage. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 1MHz - adjustable via RT resistor to optimize efficiency, EMI, or inductor size in boost/SEPIC/flyback topologies. |
| Current Regulation Accuracy | ±3% - achieved via precision 250mV full-scale ISP–ISN threshold and low-drift CTRL scaling (0–1V linear range). |
| Thermal Grade | H-grade (–40°C to +150°C TJ) - validated for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| PWM Dimming Ratio | Up to 3000:1 - enabled by external digital PWM signal; internal generator provides 25:1 dimming with true color fidelity. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures minimal battery drain in always-on vehicle systems when EN/UVLO is pulled low. |
Pinout & Package
LT3761HMSE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND), rated for 150°C maximum junction temperature. The exposed pad must be soldered directly to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (1) | Buffered PWM output | Drives external 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 VFB < VFB – 50mV and VISP–ISN < 25mV. |
| ISN (3) | Negative current sense input | Completes high-side or low-side current sense path; bias current varies with CTRL voltage and ISP/ISN differential. |
| ISP (4) | Positive current sense input | Accepts up to 80V common-mode voltage; triggers overcurrent fault if VISP–ISN > 600mV (typical). |
| VC (5) | Error amplifier output | High-impedance node storing demand current state during PWM idle; requires RC compensation network for loop stability. |
| CTRL (6) | Current threshold adjust | Linearly scales VISP–ISN threshold from 21mV (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 LED thermal derating circuits. |
| PWM (8) | Digital dimming input | Accepts external PWM signal (200µA drive capability); self-oscillates when capacitor tied to GND, with duty set by DIM/SS current. |
| OPENLED (9) | Open-LED status flag | Open-drain output asserting low during open-circuit LED condition; requires external pull-up to INTVCC (LT3761 only, not LT3761-1). |
| DIM/SS (10) | Soft-start & PWM gen control | 12µA internal pull-up sets PWMOUT duty ratio; capacitor here defines soft-start time and internal dimming frequency. |
| RT (11) | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets oscillator frequency; 95.3kΩ yields ~100kHz, 8.87kΩ yields ~1MHz. |
| EN/UVLO (12) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | 1.22V falling threshold with 20mV hysteresis; 2.3µA pull-down enables precise external hysteresis resistor selection. |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal LDO output | 7.85V regulated supply powering GATE/PWMOUT drivers; requires 1µF ceramic bypass close to pin and exposed pad. |
| VIN (14) | Main power input | Supplies INTVCC LDO and internal logic; must be bypassed with ≥0.22µF low-ESR capacitor near pin. |
| SENSE (15) | Switch current sense | Kelvin-connected to source of external N-FET; monitors switch current with 105mV (typ) current limit threshold. |
| GATE (16) | N-FET gate driver | Drives external power MOSFET between INTVCC and GND; transitions low during fault, shutdown, or PWM idle. |
| GND (17) | Ground / Exposed Pad | Primary thermal and electrical ground; serves as current sense return for SENSE pin and must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for LT3761HMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3761HMSE#TRPBF is an H-grade device with guaranteed operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature. Thermal shutdown activates above 165°C to protect the IC during overload conditions. This makes LT3761HMSE#TRPBF suitable for under-hood automotive applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Does LT3761HMSE#TRPBF support high-side current sensing for grounded-anode LED strings?
Yes, LT3761HMSE#TRPBF supports true high-side current sensing with 0V to 80V rail-to-rail common-mode voltage range on ISP and ISN pins. This allows direct sensing of current in grounded-anode LED strings exceeding 100V total forward voltage - a key capability confirmed in the LT3761 datasheet Figure 1 and Pin Functions section.
How does the internal PWM dimming generator work on LT3761HMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3761HMSE#TRPBF uses the DIM/SS pin current to program internal pull-up and pull-down currents on the PWM pin. With a capacitor from PWM to GND, this creates a self-oscillating dimming signal at 215–435 Hz with duty ratio adjustable from 3.1% to 98% - eliminating external timing components while preserving true-color fidelity per Analog Devices' True Color PWM™ specification.
What protection features are implemented in LT3761HMSE#TRPBF?
LT3761HMSE#TRPBF includes open-LED detection (via OPENLED pin assertion), output short-circuit protection (GATE/PWMOUT forced low), overcurrent shutdown (ISP–ISN > 600mV), FB overvoltage clamp (PWMOUT toggle), thermal shutdown (>165°C), and C/10 charge termination monitoring - all documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables of the official datasheet.
Can LT3761HMSE#TRPBF operate in buck, boost, and SEPIC configurations?
Yes, LT3761HMSE#TRPBF is explicitly designed to drive LEDs in boost, SEPIC, inverting, buck, buck-boost, and flyback configurations - as stated in the Features section of the datasheet. Its current-mode architecture and flexible feedback structure (dual ISP/ISN and FB loops) enable stable operation across all these topologies without modification to the IC itself.
