Product details
Overview
LT3922HUFD#PBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic, synchronous step-up LED driver IC with ±2.5% LED current regulation, 2.8V–36V input range, 2A internal switches, programmable 200kHz–2MHz switching frequency, and integrated PWM dimming control for high-brightness LED strings in automotive and industrial lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3922HUFD#PBF datasheet, LT3922HUFD#PBF pinout, LT3922HUFD#PBF application, or LT3922HUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include thermal performance at 150°C junction, open/short LED fault reporting via FAULT pin, spread spectrum EMI reduction, and dual analog/digital (duty-cycle) LED current programming at the CTRL pin.
Technical Context
The LT3922HUFD#PBF implements fixed-frequency peak current mode control with internal 2A synchronous power switches (140mΩ bottom, 155mΩ top), supporting boost, buck, and buck-boost topologies. Its current regulation loop uses ISP/ISN differential sensing and a transconductance amplifier (gm = 140µA/V) referenced to a buffered 2V VREF.
It integrates dual dimming paths: external PWM signal at PWM pin drives PWMTG gate output for high-side PMOS switching, while internal PWM generation (7.34–129kHz) is enabled via RP resistor and controlled by analog voltage (1V–2V) on PWM pin. Fault detection includes open-circuit (FB > 1.14V + low ISP–ISN) and short-circuit (ISP–ISN > 150mV) conditions with open-drain FAULT reporting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| LED Current Regulation Accuracy | ±2.5% - ensures consistent brightness across temperature and line/load variations. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 200kHz to 2MHz - enables compact magnetics and EMI optimization via RT resistor or SYNC clock. |
| Max Junction Temperature | 150°C - validated for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| Internal Switch Ratings | 2A, 40V - eliminates need for external power MOSFETs in ≤10W LED applications. |
| PWM Dimming Ratio | 5000:1 at 100Hz - achieves deep dimming without color shift in machine vision and display backlighting. |
| Fault Reporting | Open-drain FAULT pin - signals LED open/short conditions with latchoff or hiccup recovery modes selectable via SS pin resistor. |
Pinout & Package
LT3922HUFD#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed pad (Pin 29) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal dissipation (θJA = 34°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switch Node | Internally connects to both power switches; must be tied together and routed with low-inductance layout for stable operation. |
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Drives top switch gate; requires 33nF ceramic capacitor to SW close to package for reliable high-side conduction. |
| ISP / ISN | Differential Current Sense Inputs | Kelvin-connected across external sense resistor to enable ±2.5% LED current regulation independent of trace resistance. |
| CTRL | LED Current Programming Input | Accepts analog voltage (0.25V–1.25V) or digital pulse (12.5%–62.5% duty) to set regulated LED current with hysteresis-based disable threshold. |
| PWM / RP / PWMTG | Dimming Control Interface | PWM pin accepts analog voltage or external signal; RP sets internal PWM frequency; PWMTG drives external high-side PMOS for true PWM dimming. |
| FAULT | Open-Drain Fault Indicator | Pulled low during open-circuit (VFB > 1.14V + low ISP–ISN) or short-circuit (ISP–ISN > 150mV) conditions for system-level diagnostics. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silent Switcher® Architecture | Reduces radiated/conducted EMI through optimized internal layout and balanced switching node routing - critical for automotive EMC compliance. |
| Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation | Modulates switching frequency by ±25% when SYNC/SPRD = 3V - lowers peak EMI amplitude without affecting regulation performance. |
| Integrated 2V Reference (VREF) | Buffered 2V output with 3.2mA drive capability - supplies precise bias for CTRL and PWM resistor networks without external references. |
| LED Current Monitor (ISMON) | Provides 10mV/mV scaled replica of ISP–ISN voltage - enables real-time current telemetry and closed-loop feedback in smart lighting systems. |
| Thermal Grade H | Guaranteed operation from –40°C to 150°C junction - qualified for engine compartment and high-power industrial LED drivers. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for the LT3922HUFD#PBF?
The LT3922HUFD#PBF is rated for continuous operation up to 150°C junction temperature, verified per Analog Devices' H-grade qualification. This exceeds standard E/I-grade parts (125°C) and enables deployment in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. Thermal shutdown activates above this limit to protect device integrity, and θJA = 34°C/W assumes proper PCB copper pour under the exposed pad.
How does the LT3922HUFD#PBF achieve 5000:1 PWM dimming ratio?
The LT3922HUFD#PBF achieves 5000:1 PWM dimming at 100Hz by combining precise analog current regulation (±2.5%) with fast, low-jitter gate drive on the PWMTG pin (<140ns turn-off delay). It supports external PWM signals or generates internal PWM using the RP resistor, enabling deep dimming without LED color shift or flicker - critical for machine vision and medical imaging applications.
Can the LT3922HUFD#PBF operate in buck mode, and what design changes are needed?
Yes, the LT3922HUFD#PBF supports buck, boost, and buck-boost configurations per its block diagram and application notes. In buck mode, the LED string connects between VOUT and GND (not high-side), and the FB network is reconfigured to regulate output voltage instead of current. No internal changes are required - only external component selection (inductor, sense resistor, feedback dividers) differs per topology.
What fault conditions does the FAULT pin report on the LT3922HUFD#PBF?
The FAULT pin on the LT3922HUFD#PBF reports two primary conditions: (1) Open LED, detected when FB voltage exceeds 1.14V while ISP–ISN falls below 10mV; and (2) Shorted LED, triggered when ISP–ISN exceeds 150mV for >300µs or reaches 700mV (typical). The FAULT pin pulls low in either case, and recovery behavior (hiccup vs. latchoff) is selected via SS pin resistor configuration.
Is spread spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM) enabled by default on the LT3922HUFD#PBF?
No, spread spectrum frequency modulation is not enabled by default on the LT3922HUFD#PBF. SSFM activates only when the SYNC/SPRD pin is pulled to INTVCC (typically ~3V). With SYNC/SPRD grounded or floating, the device operates at the frequency set by the RT resistor. When SSFM is active, switching frequency varies ±25% around the RT-set center frequency to reduce EMI peaks.
