IS31LT3910
UNIVERSAL HIGH BRIGHTNESS LED DRIVER
WITH TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
May 2014
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IS31LT3910 is a peak current mode control LED
driver IC. The IS31LT3910 operates in constant off-
time mode. It allows efficient operation of High
Brightness (HB) LEDs with voltage sources ranging
from 8VDC to 450DC or 110VAC/220VAC. The
IS31LT3910 includes a PWM dimming input that can
accept an external control signal with a duty ratio of
0 - 100% and a frequency of up to a few kilohertz. It
also includes a 0 - 240mV linear dimming input
which can be used both for linear dimming and
temperature compensation of the LED current.
The IS31LT3910 is ideally suited for buck LED
drivers. Since the IS31LT3910 operates in peak
current mode control, the controller achieves good
output current regulation without the need for any
loop compensation. It achieves good PWM dimming
response because the response time is limited only
by the rate of rise and fall of the inductor current,
enabling very fast rise and fall time.
FEATURES
Wide input range from 8VDC to 450DC or
110VAC/220 VAC

Description
This pin provides reference a voltage of 1.2V, no bypass
capacitor is needed.
This is the PWM dimming input of the IC. When this pin is pulled
to GND, the gate driver is turned off. When the pin is pulled high,
the gate driver operates normally.
This pin is the linear dimming input and sets the current sense
threshold as long as the voltage at the pin is less than 240mV
(Typ.). It can also used as temperature compensation threshold
voltage.
Ground return for all internal circuitry. This pin must be electrically
connected to ground.
This pin is the output gate driver for an external N-channel power
MOSFET.
This pin is the current sense pin used to sense the MOSFET
current by means of an external sense resistor. When this pin
exceeds the lower of either the internal 240mV or the voltage at
the LD pin, the gate output goes low.
This pin sets the off time of the power MOSFET. If left floating
then the off time will be 510ns. When a capacitor is connected
between TOFF and GND, the off time is increased.
This pin is the input of an 8V ~ 450V voltage supply through a
resistor, clamped at 7.1V internally, it must be bypassed with a
capacitor to GND.
