LT3478/LT3478-1
4.5A Monolithic LED
Drivers with True Color
PWM Dimming
DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
3478/LT3478-1 are 4.5A step-up DC/DC convert-
ers designed to drive LEDs with a constant current over
a wide programmable range. Series connection of the
LEDs provides identical LED currents for uniform bright-
ness without the need for ballast resistors and expensive
factory calibration.
The LT3478-1 reduces external component count and cost
by integrating the LED current sense resistor. The LT3478
uses an external sense resistor to extend the maximum
programmable LED current beyond 1A and also to achieve
greater accuracy when programming low LED currents.
Operating frequency can be set with an external resistor
from 200kHz up to 2.25MHz. Unique circuitry allows a
PWM dimming range up to 3000:1 while maintaining
constant LED color. The LT3478/LT3478-1 are ideal for
high power LED driver applications such as automotive TFT
LCD backlights, courtesy lighting and heads-up displays.
One of two CTRL pins can be used to program maximum
LED current. The other CTRL pin can be used to program
a reduction in maximum LED current vs temperature to
maximize LED usage and improve reliability.
Additional features include inrush current protection,
programmable open LED protection and programmable
soft-start. Each part is available in a 16-pin thermally
enhanced TSSOP Package.

LT3478/LT3478-1
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT3478EFE/LT3478EFE-1 are guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LT3478IFE/LT3478IFE-1 are guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range.
Note 3:
This IC includes over-temperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when over-temperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 4:
For maximum operating ambient temperature, see the “Thermal
Calculations” section in the Applications Information section.
Note 5:
The maximum operational voltage for V
IN
is limited by thermal and
efficiency considerations. Power switch base current is delivered from V
IN
and should therefore be driven from the lowest available power supply in
the system. See “Thermal Calculations” in the Applications Information
section.
Note 6:
For LT3478, parameter scales • (R
SENSE
/0.1Ω).
