Product details
Overview
LT3922HUFD-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic synchronous step-up LED driver IC with ±2.5% LED current regulation, 2.3A internal switches, and 25,000:1 PWM dimming capability at 100Hz. It operates from 2.8V to 36V input, supports up to 34V LED string voltage, and integrates Silent Switcher® architecture for low EMI in automotive lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3922HUFD-1#PBF datasheet, LT3922HUFD-1#PBF pinout, LT3922HUFD-1#PBF application, or LT3922HUFD-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 28-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad, –40°C to 150°C junction temperature rating, and dual control modes (analog voltage or duty-cycle input at CTRL pin).
Technical Context
The LT3922HUFD-1#PBF implements fixed-frequency peak current mode control with programmable switching frequency (200kHz–2MHz) via RT resistor or external SYNC clock. Its integrated current regulation amplifier (gm = 140µA/V) compares ISP/ISN sense voltage against CTRL-derived reference, while voltage regulation (FB threshold = 1.200V) overrides current control to prevent LED overvoltage.
It features dual PWM dimming paths: external high-side PMOS driven by PWMTG output (10V gate drive at VOUT = 20V), and internal PWM generator controlled by RP resistor and analog PWM pin voltage (1V–2V). Fault protection includes open-circuit detection (FB > 1.140V + low ISP–ISN), short-circuit detection (ISP–ISN > 150mV), and thermal shutdown.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LT3922HUFD-1#PBF uses a thermally enhanced 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed GND pad (Pin 29) requiring PCB soldering for thermal and electrical integrity. θJA = 25°C/W (measured on demo board DC2247A); θJC = 3.4°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pins 1,2,3) | Power switch node | Internally connected to both MOSFETs; must be tied together and routed with low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| BST (Pin 4) | Bootstrap supply | Drives top switch gate; requires 33nF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW, placed adjacent to package. |
| ISP / ISN (Pins 10,11) | Differential current sense inputs | Kelvin-connected across external sense resistor; enable ±2.5% current regulation independent of trace resistance. |
| PWMTG (Pin 19) | High-side PMOS gate driver output | Provides 10V gate drive swing (VOUT – VPWMTG) to externally control LED string current path during PWM dimming. |
| CTRL (Pin 8) | LED current programming input | Accepts 0.25V–1.25V analog voltage or 12.5%–62.5% duty-cycle pulses to set regulated LED current with <100nA input bias. |
| RT (Pin 16) | Oscillator timing input | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency; 45.3kΩ yields 2MHz, enabling compact 2.2µH inductor use in space-constrained designs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage supported by the LT3922HUFD-1#PBF?
The LT3922HUFD-1#PBF supports up to 34V LED string voltage, verified across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to 150°C). This rating is derived from absolute maximum ratings (ISP/ISN and VOUT pins rated to 40V) and validated in typical applications with 11-LED strings at 333mA. The device maintains ±2.5% current regulation even at 34V output, making it suitable for high-voltage automotive lighting configurations.
Does the LT3922HUFD-1#PBF require an external PMOS for PWM dimming?
The LT3922HUFD-1#PBF provides both options: it includes an internal PWM generator controllable via the PWM pin (1V–2V analog input) and RP resistor, but also integrates a dedicated PWMTG output pin to drive an external high-side PMOS. Using the external PMOS is recommended for 25,000:1 dimming at 100Hz, as the PWMTG driver delivers 10V gate drive swing (VOUT – VPWMTG) with 110ns turn-on propagation delay, ensuring precise LED current blanking without leakage.
How does the LT3922HUFD-1#PBF handle open-circuit LED faults?
The LT3922HUFD-1#PBF detects open-circuit conditions when FB voltage exceeds 1.140V while ISP–ISN voltage falls below 10mV. Upon detection, it pulls the open-drain FAULT pin low. The recovery behavior-hiccup mode (auto-restart) or latchoff-is configured by the external resistor on the SS pin: no resistor enables hiccup; 100kΩ to INTVCC forces latchoff. This dual-mode fault response supports both safety-critical and maintenance-aware system architectures.
Can the LT3922HUFD-1#PBF operate in buck mode?
Yes, the LT3922HUFD-1#PBF supports buck, boost, and buck-boost configurations per its datasheet Applications section. In buck mode, it regulates LED current using the same current sense architecture (ISP/ISN) and CTRL pin programming, but requires reconfiguration of external components-including inductor placement and feedback network-to route current through the bottom switch. This flexibility enables single-IC solutions for multi-topology lighting systems without redesigning the core driver stage.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (Pin 29) on the LT3922HUFD-1#PBF package?
The exposed pad (Pin 29) on the LT3922HUFD-1#PBF is electrically and thermally connected to GND and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane. It provides the primary thermal conduction path from the die to the board, achieving θJC = 3.4°C/W. Proper soldering-using ≥90% coverage and thermal vias to inner ground layers-is mandatory to maintain the –40°C to 150°C junction temperature rating and prevent thermal shutdown during continuous 2.3A switch operation.
