DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
3591 is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converter
specifically designed to drive up to ten white LEDs in series
from a Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides
identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness
and eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The device
features a unique high side LED current sense that enables
the part to function as a “one wire current source;” one
side of the LED string can be returned to ground anywhere,
allowing a simpler one wire LED connection. Traditional
LED drivers use a grounded resistor to sense LED current,
requiring a 2-wire connection to the LED string.
The high switching frequency allows the use of tiny induc-
tors and capacitors. A single pin performs both shutdown
and accurate LED dimming control. Few external compo-
nents are needed: open-LED protection and the Schottky
diode are all contained inside a low profile 3mm

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 LT3591E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C operating junction temperature range. Specifications
over the –40°C to 85°C operating junction temperature range are assured
by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.

PIN FUNCTIONS
V
IN
(Pin 1):
Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed.
GND (Pin 2):
Ground Pin. Should be tied directly to local
ground plane.
SW (Pin 4):
Switch Pin. Minimize trace area at this pin to
minimize EMI. Connect the inductor at this pin.
CAP (Pin 5):
Output of the Driver. This pin is connected
to the cathode of internal Schottky. Connect the output
capacitor to this pin and the sense resistor from this pin
to the LED pin.
LED (Pin 7):
Connection Point for the Anode of the First
LED and the Sense Resistor. The LED current can be
programmed by :
I
LED
=
200mV
R
SENSE
CTRL (Pin 8):
Dimming and Shutdown Pin. Connect this
pin below 50mV to disable the driver. As the pin voltage
is ramped from 0V to 1.5V, the LED current ramps from
0 to I
LED
( = 200mV/R
SENSE
). The CTRL pin must not be
left floating.
Exposed Pad (Pin 9):
Ground. The Exposed Pad must
be soldered to PCB ground to achieve the rated thermal
performance.
