DescripTion
The LT
®
3755, LT3755-1 and LT3755-2 are DC/DC control-
lers designed to operate as a constant-current source for
driving high current LEDs. They drive a low side external
N-channel power MOSFET from an internal regulated 7.15V
supply. The fixed frequency, current mode architecture
results in stable operation over a wide range of supply
and output voltages. A ground referenced voltage FB pin
serves as the input for several LED protection features,
and also makes it possible for the converter to operate
as a constant-voltage source. A frequency adjust pin
allows the user to program the frequency from 100kHz
to 1MHz to optimize efficiency, performance or external
component size.
The LT3755/LT3755-1/LT3755-2 sense output current at
the high side of the LED string. High side current sensing
is the most flexible scheme for driving LEDs, allowing
boost, buck mode or buck-boost mode configuration.
The PWM input provides LED dimming ratios of up to
3000:1, and the CTRL input provides additional analog
dimming capability.

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 LT3755E, LT3755E-1 and LT3755E-2 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 LT3755I, LT3755I-1 and LT3755I-2 are
guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range. The LT3755H-2 is guaranteed to
meet performance specifications over the full –40°C to 150°C operating
junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade operating
lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction temperatures greater
than 125°C.
INTV
CC
–
0.05
Note 3:
For V
IN
below 6V, the
SHDN/UVLO
pin must not exceed V
IN
for
proper operation.
Note 4:
GATE and PWMOUT pins are driven either to GND or INTV
CC
by
internal switches. Do not connect these pins externally to a power supply.
Note 5:
The LT3755 includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature
when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operating above
the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device
reliability.
