Product details
Overview
LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 4.5V to 60V input, constant-current/constant-voltage DC/DC controller optimized for high-current LED driving in boost, SEPIC, and buck-boost topologies. It integrates a programmable internal PWM dimming generator (4–96% duty), supports high-side or low-side current sensing up to 80V common-mode, and delivers ±3% current regulation accuracy with 100kHz–1MHz adjustable switching frequency. It is used in automotive headlamp systems requiring 25:1 internal PWM dimming and robust open-LED protection.
For engineers reviewing the LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF datasheet, LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF pinout, LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF application, or LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its SYNC-capable oscillator (LT3761-1 variant), rail-to-rail ISP/ISN sensing (0V–80V), C/10 battery charge indication, and thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package rated for –40°C to 125°C operation.
Technical Context
The LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF implements a fixed-frequency, current-mode control architecture with dual feedback loops: one for constant-current regulation via ISP/ISN differential sensing (full-scale threshold 250mV, ±3% accuracy), and another for constant-voltage regulation via FB pin (1.25V reference, ±2% accuracy). Its VC error amplifier output interfaces with external RC compensation to stabilize loop response across wide VIN and VOUT ranges.
It features a dedicated SYNC pin (Pin 9) enabling external clock synchronization - a distinguishing trait of the LT3761-1 family - with 30kΩ internal pull-down, 1.5V logic-high threshold, and 0.4V logic-low threshold. Unlike the LT3761 (which uses Pin 9 as OPENLED), the LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF repurposes this pin exclusively for synchronization, eliminating open-LED status reporting capability.

Pinout & Package
LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND), requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. The package measures 4mm × 3mm × 0.85mm (max height) and supports reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWMOUT (1) | Buffered PWM output / FB overvoltage fault indicator | Drives external NMOS disconnect switch; toggles low if FB exceeds VFB + 60mV - protects LEDs during CV mode overvoltage. |
| FB (2) | Voltage feedback input | Sets constant-voltage regulation point at 1.25V; enables open-LED detection when combined with ISP/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 level. |
| ISP (4) | Positive current sense input | Accepts up to 80V common-mode; overcurrent detected if ISP–ISN >600mV - forces GATE/PWMOUT low for protection. |
| VC (5) | Error amplifier output | High-impedance during PWM low; stores demand state on external RC network for fast transient recovery. |
| CTRL (6) | Current sense threshold adjust | Linearly scales VISP–ISN threshold from 25mV (at 0.2V) to 250mV (≥1.2V); enables analog dimming and temperature compensation. |
| VREF (7) | 2.02V precision reference output | Supplies up to 185µA; used to bias CTRL divider or drive external tempco circuits - improves dimming linearity. |
| PWM (8) | Digital dimming input / self-oscillator enable | Accepts external PWM signal (3000:1 dimming) or drives internal oscillator via CPWM - duty set by DIM/SS current. |
| SYNC (9) | External clock synchronization input | Replaces OPENLED function in LT3761-1; synchronizes internal oscillator - critical for multi-phase or noise-sensitive systems. |
| DIM/SS (10) | Soft-start & PWM generator programming | 12µA internal pull-up sets PWMOUT frequency/duty; capacitor here defines soft-start time and dimming waveform stability. |
| RT (11) | Frequency adjustment | Resistor to GND programs switching frequency (100kHz–1MHz); values from 8.87kΩ to 95.3kΩ per datasheet curve. |
| EN/UVLO (12) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | 1.22V falling threshold with 20mV hysteresis; 2.3µA pull-down enables precise external hysteresis resistor design. |
| INTVCC (13) | Internally regulated supply | 7.85V LDO (36mA limit) powers gate drivers and internal logic - bypass with 1µF ceramic close to pin. |
| VIN (14) | Main power input | Supplies INTVCC LDO and internal circuitry; requires local 0.22µF low-ESR ceramic bypass. |
| SENSE (15) | Switch current sense input | Kelvin-connected to source of external N-FET; senses peak switch current for current-mode control and 105mV overcurrent clamp. |
| GATE (16) | N-channel FET driver output | Drives external power MOSFET gate between INTVCC and GND; 25ns rise/fall times support high-frequency operation. |
| GND (17) | Power & signal ground / exposed pad | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane - provides primary thermal path and low-impedance return for SENSE and ISN. |

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF and LT3761IMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF includes a dedicated SYNC pin (Pin 9) for external clock synchronization, replacing the OPENLED status pin found on the LT3761IMSE#TRPBF. This enables deterministic timing alignment in multi-converter systems but removes open-LED fault reporting capability. Both share identical thermal rating (–40°C to 125°C), package, and core regulation architecture.
Can LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF drive LED strings with anode grounded to chassis?
Yes. LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF supports grounded-anode configurations using low-side current sensing (connect ISN to GND, ISP to sense resistor high side) and FB-based voltage regulation. Its rail-to-rail ISP/ISN input (0V–80V) and ability to regulate in buck-boost or SEPIC topologies make it ideal for chassis-grounded LED installations without floating references.
What is the minimum external capacitor required on the DIM/SS pin for stable internal PWM generation?
The DIM/SS pin requires a minimum 560pF capacitor to GND when used with the internal PWM generator function. This capacitor sets the dimming frequency in conjunction with internal pull-up/pull-down currents; typical values (e.g., 47nF) yield ~300Hz output. Smaller capacitors increase frequency but reduce duty resolution and stability - 560pF is the absolute lower bound per datasheet guidance.
How does the C/10 battery charge termination work on LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF?
The C/10 termination is triggered when the ISP–ISN differential voltage falls below 25mV (typical), indicating battery current has dropped to 1/10th of its initial charge rate. This threshold is monitored continuously during constant-voltage phase; assertion pulls DIM/SS low and can be used to disable charging or signal full charge. No external comparator is needed - the function is fully integrated.
Is LT3761IMSE-1#TRPBF compatible with 5V logic-level PWM input signals?
Yes. The PWM pin accepts standard 5V CMOS/TTL logic levels: it recognizes a high threshold of 0.83V (typical) and low threshold of 0.78V (typical) with 0.4V hysteresis. A 5V signal easily exceeds these thresholds and provides sufficient noise margin. The pin sources/sinks up to 200µA, compatible with most microcontroller GPIO outputs without buffering.
