Product details
Overview
LT3922IUFD#PBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic, synchronous step-up DC/DC LED driver with ±2.5% LED current regulation, 2.8V–36V input range, and 2A internal switches. It supports analog or duty-cycle-based LED current control, 5000:1 PWM dimming at 100Hz, and operates in boost, buck, or buck-boost topologies for automotive lighting and machine vision systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3922IUFD#PBF datasheet, LT3922IUFD#PBF pinout, LT3922IUFD#PBF application, or LT3922IUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN package, spread spectrum EMI reduction, open/short LED fault reporting, thermal shutdown, and dual-mode (analog/digital) dimming interface compatibility.
Technical Context
The LT3922IUFD#PBF implements fixed-frequency peak-current-mode control with programmable switching frequency (200kHz–2MHz via RT pin or external SYNC clock). Its dual error amplifiers independently regulate LED current (via ISP/ISN sense voltage) and output voltage (via FB pin), enabling robust string voltage limiting up to 34V while maintaining tight current accuracy across temperature.
It integrates a 2A/40V bottom switch and 2A/40V top switch with 140mΩ and 155mΩ on-resistances, respectively, and features an internal PWM generator (frequency set by RP pin) plus dedicated PWMTG gate driver for external high-side PMOS dimming control - all coordinated through a Silent Switcher® architecture to minimize conducted and radiated EMI.
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 optimization of efficiency vs. size using small inductors and capacitors. |
| PWM Dimming Ratio | 5000:1 at 100Hz - delivers deep, flicker-free dimming for machine vision and display backlighting. |
| Internal Switch Rating | 2A, 40V - handles up to ~10W LED loads (e.g., 30V @ 333mA) with integrated power devices. |
| Package | 28-Lead (4mm × 5mm) QFN with exposed pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 34°C/W) for high-power density designs. |
| Fault Protection | Open-circuit (FB > 1.14V + low sense voltage) and short-circuit (sense > 150mV) detection with open-drain FAULT pin - enables system-level safety monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
LT3922IUFD#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 28-lead plastic QFN (4mm × 5mm) with exposed GND pad (Pin 29), requiring soldering to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pins 1, 2, 24) | Switch Node | Internally connected to both power switches; must be tied together and routed with low-inductance layout for stable operation. |
| BST (Pin 3) | Bootstrap Supply | Drives top switch gate via 33nF BST–SW capacitor; internal diode charges capacitor during SW low phase. |
| ISP / ISN (Pins 10, 21) | Current Sense Inputs | Kelvin-connected to external sense resistor; differential voltage (0–100mV) sets regulated LED current with ±2.5% accuracy. |
| CTRL (Pin 8) | LED Current Programming | Accepts analog voltage (0.25–1.25V) or digital pulse (12.5–62.5% duty) to define target LED current; <200mV disables output. |
| PWM / RP (Pins 19, 18) | Dimming Control Interface | PWM pin accepts external signal or analog voltage (1–2V) to generate internal PWM; RP sets internal PWM frequency (7.3–129Hz). |
| FAULT (Pin 14) | Open/Short Fault Indicator | Open-drain output pulled low on LED open-circuit or short-circuit detection; requires external pull-up for system alert signaling. |
| RT (Pin 16) | Frequency Programming | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency (200kHz–2MHz); also accepts external SYNC clock or SSFM enable via SYNC/SPRD pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silent Switcher® Architecture | Reduces EMI emissions via balanced switching node layout and integrated bypass paths - simplifies compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5. |
| Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation | Modulates switching frequency ±25% around programmed center (e.g., 1.5–1.875MHz at 1.5MHz setting) to lower peak EMI. |
| Dual Regulation Loops | Independent current (ISP/ISN) and voltage (FB) regulation prevents LED overvoltage while maintaining precise current control. |
| Integrated PWM Driver (PWMTG) | Provides 10–11V gate drive (VOUT – VPWMTG) for external high-side PMOS - eliminates need for discrete level-shifting circuitry. |
| LED Current Monitor (ISMON) | Outputs 10mV per 1mV sense voltage (e.g., 100mV → 1V) - enables real-time current telemetry without additional op-amps. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3783EFE#PBF | Non-synchronous boost; no integrated top switch; requires external MOSFET; lacks spread spectrum and ISMON. | Lower integration; suited for cost-sensitive, lower-efficiency designs where EMI is less constrained. | Choose when board space and EMI performance are secondary to BOM cost and design simplicity. |
| MAX20050ATPA/VY+ | 36V, 2.5A synchronous boost; includes I²C interface and built-in diagnostics; no analog CTRL pin; different pinout and package (24-pin TQFN). | Targeted at automotive infotainment displays with digital control requirements; lacks analog dimming flexibility. | Choose when system-level digital control, ASIL compliance reporting, and higher current are prioritized over analog interface and pin compatibility. |
Compared with LTC3783EFE#PBF and MAX20050ATPA/VY+, the LT3922IUFD#PBF uniquely combines analog/digital dimming flexibility, Silent Switcher® EMI reduction, and integrated current monitor in a single 28-pin QFN - making it optimal for high-reliability, high-fidelity LED lighting where precision, diagnostics, and compactness are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT3922IUFD#PBF?
The LT3922IUFD#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. This grade ('I') is validated across the full range per Analog Devices' characterization and statistical process controls, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial environments where thermal stability is critical. The device includes thermal shutdown protection that activates above 150°C.
Does the LT3922IUFD#PBF support both analog and PWM dimming simultaneously?
No - the LT3922IUFD#PBF supports either analog dimming (via CTRL pin voltage) or PWM dimming (via PWM pin signal or internal PWM generated from PWM pin voltage), but not simultaneous dual-mode control. When using internal PWM (RP pin grounded), the CTRL pin sets average current while the PWM pin sets duty cycle; external PWM overrides internal generation if RP is tied to GND.
How does the LT3922IUFD#PBF implement open-LED fault detection?
The LT3922IUFD#PBF detects open-LED conditions by monitoring two concurrent signals: FB voltage rising above 1.140V (indicating loss of load current) *and* ISP–ISN sense voltage falling below 10mV. When both thresholds are exceeded, the FAULT pin is pulled low. Hysteresis (50mV) prevents chatter, and fault response (hiccup vs. latch-off) is configured via the SS pin external resistor.
Can the LT3922IUFD#PBF operate in buck mode, and what are the requirements?
Yes - the LT3922IUFD#PBF supports buck operation when configured with appropriate external components and feedback network. In buck mode, VOUT is connected to the input rail (VIN), and the LED string is placed between VOUT and the ISP/ISN sense resistor. Operation requires disabling the boost path and ensuring the internal switches remain within SOA; refer to Analog Devices' Application Note AN158 for validated buck-mode schematics and layout guidance.
What is the purpose of the SS (Soft-Start) pin on the LT3922IUFD#PBF, and how is it configured?
The SS pin on the LT3922IUFD#PBF controls soft-start timing and fault recovery behavior. A 20µA internal current source charges an external capacitor to ramp FB voltage, limiting inrush current. For short-circuit fault response: no external resistor enables hiccup mode (repeated restart attempts); a 100kΩ resistor to INTVCC configures latch-off mode (requires EN/UVLO toggle to reset).
