LT3763
60V High Current
Step-Down LED Driver Controller
DescripTion
The
LT
®
3763
is a fixed frequency, synchronous, step-down
DC/DC controller designed to accurately regulate output
currents up to 20A. The average current mode control-
ler will maintain inductor current regulation over a wide
output voltage range from 0V to 55V. Output current is
set by analog voltages on the CTRL pins and an external
sense resistor. Voltage regulation and overvoltage protec-
tion are set with a voltage divider from the output to the
FB pin. The switching frequency is programmable from
200kHz to 1MHz through an external resistor on the RT
pin or with the SYNC pin and an external clock signal.
Input and output current sensing provides input current
limiting and an accurate measurement of these currents.
The FBIN pin is provided for applications requiring a peak
power tracking function.
Additional features include an accurate external reference
voltage for use with the CTRL pins, an accurate UVLO/
EN pin that allows for programmable UVLO hysteresis,
a PWM driver for LED applications, output voltage fault
detection, and thermal shutdown.

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 LT3763E is 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
LT3763I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the
–40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The LT3763H is
guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range.
High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime
is derated for junction temperatures greater than 125°C.
Note 3:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device.
Note 4:
The minimum on- and off-times are guaranteed by design and are
not tested.
Note 5:
The minimum common mode voltage is guaranteed by design and
is not tested.
