DESCRIPTION
The
LT
®
3964
is a dual synchronous step-down DC/DC
converter with I
2
C interface designed to operate as a
constant-current and constant-voltage source and is ideal
for driving LEDs. The fixed frequency and peak current
mode topology result in stable operation over a wide range
of supply and output voltages. The ground referred volt-
age FB pin serves as the input for several LED protection
features, and also allows the converter to operate as a
constant-voltage source. The maximum output current is
set by an external resistor, and the output current ampli-
fier has a rail-to-rail common mode range. LT3964 uses
an I
2
C interface to communicate with a microcontroller
to read LED faults, write PWM and analog dimming reg-
isters and set fault masking. The I
2
C PWM input provides
LED dimming ratios up to 8192:1. The I
2
C programmable
CTRL register sets the gain of the external CTRL pin, and
maximum current sense threshold, providing additional
analog dimming capability.

to meet performance specifications over the
–40°C

temperature range. The LT3964H is guaranteed 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.
Note 5:
The LT3964 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 is active. Continuous operating above the specified
maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability.
