Product details
Overview
LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF from Analog Devices is a dual-channel 60V input / 120V output boost LED controller supporting independent constant-current and constant-voltage regulation per channel, ±2% LED current accuracy, 100kHz–2MHz programmable switching frequency, and 20,000:1 external PWM dimming at 100Hz - deployed in automotive headlamp systems requiring high-voltage, high-reliability LED drive.
For engineers reviewing the LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF datasheet, LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF pinout, LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF application, or LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-channel rail-to-rail LED current sensing (0V to 120V), AEC-Q100 qualification, side-solderable 28-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN package, and independent OPEN/SHORT LED fault detection per channel.
Technical Context
The LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with dual independent error amplifiers (VC1/VC2) and dedicated feedback paths (FB1/FB2) enabling simultaneous CC/CV regulation. Each channel features separate ISP/ISN Kelvin sense inputs, programmable soft-start, and internal overvoltage (1.26V FB threshold), overcurrent (670mV ISP–ISN), and open/short LED protection logic.
It integrates two high-side PMOS drivers (PWMTG1/PWMTG2) for load disconnect during PWM dimming or faults, plus dual NMOS gate drivers (GATE1/GATE2) with 5Ω pull-up / 3Ω pull-down on-resistance. The internal exponential PWM generator accepts analog voltage inputs (0.5V–1.5V) to produce 128 precision dimming steps from 0.78% to 100% duty ratio.
Key Specifications

| SENSEN1 (Pin 26) | CH1 switch current sense negative | Enables precise peak-current-mode control; used with SENSEP1 to set current limit threshold (95–120mV). |
| SENSEP1 (Pin 27) | CH1 switch current sense positive | Paired with SENSEN1; supports accurate cycle-by-cycle current limiting and slope compensation. |
| GATE1 (Pin 28) | CH1 NMOS gate driver output | Drives CH1 external NMOS; matched timing with GATE2 enables synchronized dual-channel operation. |
| GND (Pin 29) | Power and signal ground | Exposed thermal pad - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management and noise immunity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel LED controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3965EFE#PBF | Single-channel, 60V input, 60V output; no internal exponential PWM; requires external MCU for dimming sequencing. | Suitable for simpler, lower-voltage LED arrays where independent dual-channel control is unnecessary. | Select LT3965EFE#PBF only when cost sensitivity outweighs need for dual-channel integration and analog dimming flexibility. |
| MAX20050ATP/V+T | Automotive-grade dual-channel buck LED controller; max 65V input; no high-side PMOS driver; limited to 45V output. | Optimized for low-output-voltage interior lighting; lacks 120V capability and rail-to-rail sensing required for headlamp boost topologies. | Choose MAX20050ATP/V+T for cabin lighting where VIN <40V and VOUT <45V; not viable for adaptive headlamps. |

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage supported by the LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF?
The LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF supports up to 120V output per channel, verified by absolute maximum ratings (ISP/ISN pins rated to 120V common-mode) and typical application circuits driving 100V LED strings. This enables direct drive of long series-connected LED arrays without cascaded converters, reducing system complexity and improving efficiency in automotive headlamp designs.
Does the LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF support both analog and PWM dimming on the same channel?
Yes, the LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF supports concurrent analog and PWM dimming: CTRL1/CTRL2 and IADJ2 provide two-pin multiplying analog dimming for coarse adjustment, while PWM1/PWM2 accept either analog voltage inputs (0.5V–1.5V) for exponential dimming or digital signals (ON >1.6V, OFF <0.4V) for high-ratio PWM. Both methods operate independently per channel without conflict.
How does the LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF handle LED open-circuit faults?
On LED open-circuit detection, the LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF pulls the corresponding FAULT pin (FAULT1 or FAULT2) low, disables switching, drives PWMTG high to disconnect the load, and resets soft-start. Recovery occurs automatically after a cooldown period. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (FB Open Threshold = 1.116V–1.164V) and Pin Functions description for FB1/FB2.
What is the purpose of the PWMTG pins on the LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF?
The PWMTG1 and PWMTG2 pins on the LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF drive external high-side PMOS switches to physically disconnect the LED load during PWM off periods or fault conditions. This prevents residual charge leakage from output capacitors and eliminates long transient recovery times - a critical feature for adaptive driving beam systems requiring microsecond-level pixel control. PWMTG voltage is clamped to ISP – 8.5V (typical) to protect the PMOS gate oxide.
Is the LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF pin-compatible with other devices in the LT8355 family?
No, the LT8355IUFDM-1#WPBF is not pin-compatible with non–"-1" variants such as LT8355IUFD#PBF. The "-1" suffix denotes specific internal configuration differences including enhanced PWM dimming architecture, updated fault thresholds, and revised internal oscillator calibration - confirmed by distinct part markings, ordering codes, and Rev. C datasheet revision history.
