The LT®3909 is a 2-string × 60mA LED driver with a fixed 2MHz step-up DC/DC converter capable of driving up to 36V of LEDs. Each LED string contains an accurate high-side current source with ±2% current matching. Output voltage adapts to variations in LED VF for optimum efficiency.
Maximum LED current can be programmed from 10mA to 60mA per string using a single resistor. LED brightness can be reduced with analog dimming (up to 10:1) or with PWM dimming (up to 40,000:1 at 100Hz, up to 160:1 at 25kHz) (independent of leakage at VOUT). The LED pins can be paralleled for higher LED current.
Additional features include: programmable maximum VOUT for open LED protection, a fault flag to indicate open-LED or LED-short-to-GND and an internal regulation loop to safely limit junction temperature. The LT3909 also includes internal compensation, internal soft-start and micropower shutdown. The LT3909 is available in the 12-pin (3mm × 3mm) DFN and 12-pin MSOP packages.
