DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
3474/LT3474-1 are fixed frequency step-down
DC/DC converters designed to operate as constant-current
sources. An internal sense resistor monitors the output
current allowing accurate current regulation, ideal for
driving high current LEDs. High output current accuracy
is maintained over a wide current range, from 35mA to
1A, allowing a wide dimming range.
Unique PWM circuitry allows a dimming range of 400:1,
avoiding the color shift normally associated with LED
current dimming.
The high switching frequency offers several advantages,
permitting the use of small inductors and ceramic capaci-
tors. Small inductors combined with the 16-lead TSSOP
surface mount package save space and cost versus
alternative solutions. The constant switching frequency
combined with low-impedance ceramic capacitors result
in low, predictable output ripple.
With their wide input range of 4V to 36V, the LT3474/
LT3474-1 regulate a broad array of power sources, from
5V logic rails to unregulated wall transformers, lead acid
batteries and distributed power supplies. A current mode
PWM architecture provides fast transient response and
cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Frequency foldback and
thermal shutdown provide additional protection.

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:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 3:
The LT3474E and LT3474E-1 are guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LT3474I and LT3474I-1
are guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the –40°C to
125°C operating temperature range.
Note 4:
Current flows out of pin.
Note 5:
Current flows into pin.
Note 6:
Current limit is guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static
test. Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycles.
Note 7:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.
