lt3761/lt3761-1 9 37611fa for more information www.linear.com/lt3761 pin functions difference between current sense inputs isp and isn is less than 25mv. to function, the pin requires an external pull-up resistor, usually to intv cc . when the pwm input is low and the dc/dc converter is idle, the openled condition is latched to the last valid state when the pwm input was high. when pwm input goes high again, the openled pin will be updated. this pin may be used to report transition from constant current regulation to con - stant voltage regulation modes, for instance in a charger or current limited voltage supply. sync (pin 9, lt3761-1 only): the sync pin is used to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external logic level signal. the r t resistor should be chosen to program an internal switching frequency 20% slower than the sync pulse frequency. gate turn-on occurs a fixed delay after the rising edge of sync. for best pwm performance, the pwm rising edge should occur at least 200ns before the sync rising edge. use a 50% duty cycle waveform to drive this pin. this pin replaces openled on lt3761-1 option parts. if not used, tie this pin to pwmout. dim/ss (pin 10): soft-start and pwmout dimming signal generator programming pin. this pin modulates switching regulator frequency and compensation pin voltage (v c ) clamp when it is below 1v. the soft-start interval is set with an external capacitor and the dim/ss pin charging current. the pin has an internal 12a (typical) pull-up current source. the soft-start pin is reset to gnd by an undervoltage condition (detected at the en/uvlo pin), intv cc undervoltage, overcurrent event sensed at isp/ isn, or thermal limit. after initial start-up with en/uvlo, dim/ss is forced low until the first pwm rising edge. when dim/ss reaches the steady-state voltage (~1.17v), the charging current (sum of internal and external currents) is sensed and used to set the pwm pin charging and discharge currents and threshold hysteresis. in this manner, the ss charging current sets the duty cycle of the pwmout signal generator associated with the pwm pin. this pin should always have a capacitor to gnd, minimum 560pf value, when used with the pwmout signal generator function. place the pwm pin capacitor close to the ic. rt (pin 11): switching frequency adjustment pin. set the frequency using a resistor to gnd (for resistor values, see the typical performance curve or table 2). do not leave the rt pin open. place the resistor close to the ic. en/uvlo (pin 12): enable and undervoltage detect pin. an accurate 1.22v falling threshold with externally pro - grammable hysteresis causes the switching regulator to shut down when power is insufficient to maintain output regulation. above the 1.24v (typical) rising enable threshold (but below 2.5v), en/uvlo input bias current is sub-a. below the 1.22v (typical) falling threshold, an accurate 2.3a (typical) pull-down current is enabled so the user can define the rising hysteresis with the external resistor selection. an undervoltage condition causes the gate and pwmout pins to transition low and resets soft-start. tie to 0.4v, or less, to disable the device and reduce v in quiescent current below 1a. intv cc (pin 13): current limited, low dropout linear regula - tor regulates to 7.85v (typical) from v in . supplies internal loads, gate and pwmout drivers. must be bypassed with a 1f ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin and to the exposed pad gnd of the ic. v in (pin 14): power supply for internal loads and intv cc regulator. must be locally bypassed with a 0.22f (or larger) low esr capacitor placed close to the pin. sense (pin 15): the current sense input for the switch control loop. kelvin connect the sense pin to the positive terminal of the switch current sense resistor in the source of the external power nfet. the negative terminal of the switch current sense resistor should be kelvin connected to the exposed pad (gnd) of the lt3761/lt3761-1. gate (pin 16): n-channel fet gate driver output. switches between intv cc and gnd. driven to gnd during shutdown, fault or idle states. gnd (exposed pad pin 17): ground. this pin also serves as current sense input for the control loop, sensing the negative terminal of the current sense resistor. solder the exposed pad directly to the ground plane. downloaded from: http:///

lt3761/lt3761-1 11 37611fa for more information www.linear.com/lt3761 the lt3761/lt3761-1 is a constant-frequency, current mode controller with a low side nmos gate driver. the gate pin and pwmout pin drivers and other chip loads are powered from intv cc , which is an internally regulated supply. in the discussion that follows it will be helpful to refer to the block diagram of the ic. in normal operation with the pwm pin low, the gate and pwmout pins are driven to gnd, the v c pin is high impedance to store the previous switching state on the external compensation capacitor, and the isp and isn pin bias currents are reduced to leakage levels. when the pwm pin transitions high, the pwmout pin transitions high after a short delay. at the same time, the internal oscillator wakes up and gener - ates a pulse to set the pwm latch, turning on the external power mosfet switch (gate goes high). a voltage input proportional to the switch current, sensed by an external current sense resistor between the sense and gnd input pins, is added to a stabilizing slope compensation ramp and the resulting switch current sense signal is fed into the negative terminal of the pwm comparator. the current in the external inductor increases steadily during the time the switch is on. when the switch current sense voltage exceeds the output of the error amplifier, labeled v c , the latch is reset and the switch is turned off. during the switch-off phase, the inductor current decreases. at the completion of each oscillator cycle, internal signals such as slope compensation return to their starting points and a new cycle begins with the set pulse from the oscillator. through this repetitive action, the pwm control algorithm establishes a switch duty cycle to regulate a current or voltage in the load. the v c signal is integrated over many switching cycles and is an amplified version of the differ - ence between the led current sense voltage, measured between isp and isn, and the target difference voltage set by the ctrl pin. in this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak switch current level to keep the led cur - rent in regulation. if the error amplifier output increases, more current is demanded in the switch; if it decreases, less current is demanded. the switch current is monitored during the on-phase and the voltage across the sense pin is not allowed to exceed the current limit threshold of 105mv (typical). if the sense pin exceeds the current limit threshold, the sr latch is reset regardless of the output state of the pwm comparator. the difference between isp and isn is monitored to determine if the output is in a short-circuit condition. if the difference between isp and isn is greater than 600mv (typical), the sr latch will be reset regardless of the pwm comparator. the dim/ss pin will be pulled down and the pwmout and gate pins forced low for at least 4s. these functions are intended to protect the power switch as well as various external components in the power path of the dc/dc converter. in voltage feedback mode, the operation is similar to that described above, except the voltage at the v c pin is set by the amplified difference of the internal reference of 1.25v and the fb pin. if fb is lower than the reference voltage, the switch current will increase; if fb is higher than the reference voltage, the switch demand current will decrease. the led current sense feedback interacts with the fb voltage feedback so that fb will not exceed the internal reference and the voltage between isp and isn will not exceed the threshold set by the ctrl pin. for accurate current or voltage regulation, it is necessary to be sure that under normal operating conditions the appropriate loop is dominant. to deactivate the voltage loop entirely, fb can be connected to gnd. to deactivate the led current loop entirely, the isp and isn should be tied together and the ctrl input tied to v ref . two led specific functions featured on the lt3761/lt3761-1 are controlled by the voltage feedback pin. first, when the fb pin exceeds a voltage 50mv lower (C4%) than the fb regulation voltage, and the difference voltage between isp and isn is below 25mv (typical), the pull-down driver on the openled pin is activated (lt3761 only). this function provides a status indicator that the load may be discon - nected and the constant-voltage feedback loop is taking control of the switching regulator. the openled pin de- asserts only when pwm is high and fb drops below the voltage threshold. fb overvoltage is the second protec - tive function. when the fb pin exceeds the fb regulation voltage by 60mv (plus 5% typical), the pwmout pin is driven low , ignoring the state of the pwm input. in the case where the pwmout pin drives a disconnect nfet, this action isolates the led load from gnd, preventing excessive current from damaging the leds. operation downloaded from: http:///
lt3761/lt3761-1 12 37611fa for more information www.linear.com/lt3761 applications information intv cc regulator bypassing and operation the intv cc pin requires a capacitor for stable operation and to store the charge for the large gate switching cur - rents. choose a 10v rated low esr, x7r ceramic capacitor for best per formance. a 1f capacitor will be adequate for many applications. place the capacitor close to the ic to minimize the trace length to the intv cc pin and also to the ic ground. an internal current limit on the intv cc output protects the lt3761/lt3761-1 from excessive on-chip power dis - sipation. the minimum value of this current should be considered when choosing the switching nmos and the operating frequency . i intvcc can be calculated from the following equation: i intvcc = q g ? f osc careful choice of a lower q g fet will allow higher switching frequencies, leading to smaller magnetics. the intv cc pin has its own undervoltage disable set to 4.1v (typical) to protect the external fets from excessive power dissipa - tion caused by not being fully enhanced. if the intv cc pin drops below the uvlo threshold, the gate and pwmout pins will be forced to 0v and the soft-start pin will be reset. if the input voltage, v in , will not exceed 8v, then the intv cc pin could be connected to the input supply. be aware that a small current (less than 13a) will load the intv cc in shutdown. this action allows the lt3761/lt3761-1 to oper - ate from v in as low as 4.5v. if v in is normally above, but occasionally drops below the intv cc regulation voltage, then the minimum operating v in will be close to 5v. this value is determined by the dropout voltage of the linear regulator and the intv cc undervoltage lockout threshold mentioned above. programming the turn-on and turn-off thresholds with the en/uvlo pin the power supply undervoltage lockout (uvlo) value can be accurately set by the resistor divider to the en/uvlo pin. a small 2.3a pull-down current is active when en/uvlo is below the threshold. the purpose of this current is to figure 1. resistor connection to set v in undervoltage shutdown threshold allow the user to program the rising hysteresis. the fol - lowing equations should be used to determine the value of the resistors: v in,falling = 1.22 ? r1 + r2 r2 v in,rising = 2.3a ? r1 + v in,falling led current programmingthe led current is programmed by placing an appropriate value current sense resistor, r led , in series with the led string. the voltage drop across r led is (kelvin) sensed by the isp and isn pins. a half watt resistor is usually a good choice. to give the best accuracy, sensing of the current should be done at the top of the led string. if this option is not available then the current may be sensed at the bottom of the string, or in the source of the pwm disconnect nfet driven by the pwmout signal. a unique case of gnd sensing is the inverting converter shown in the applications where the led current is sensed in the cathode of the power schottky rectifier. this configuration allows the led anode to be grounded for heat sinking. in this case, it is important to lowpass filter the discontinu - ous current signal. input bias currents for the isp and isn inputs are shown in the typical performance characteristics and should be considered when placing a resistor in series with the isp or isn pins. the ctrl pin should be tied to a voltage higher than 1.2v to get the full-scale 250mv (typical) threshold across the sense resistor. the ctrl pin can also be used to dim the led current to zero, although relative accuracy decreases en/uvlo lt3761 v in r2 37611 f01 r1 downloaded from: http:///

lt3761/lt3761-1 14 37611fa for more information www.linear.com/lt3761 applications information isp/isn short-circuit protection featurethe isp/isn pins have a protection feature independent of their led current sense feature. the purpose of this feature is to prevent the development of excessive cur - rents that could damage the power components or the load. the action threshold (v isp-isn > 600mv, typical) is above the default led current sense threshold, so that no interference will occur with current regulation. this feature acts in the same manner as switch current limit: it prevents switch turn-on until the isp/isn difference falls below the threshold. exceeding the threshold also activates a pull-down on the ss and pwm pins and causes the gate and pwmout pins to be driven low for at least 4s. if an overcurrent condition is sensed at isp/isn and the pwm pin is configured either to make an internal dimming signal, or for always-on operation as shown in the application titled boost led driver with output short protection, then the lt3761/lt3761-1 will enter a hiccup mode of operation. in this mode, after the initial response to the fault, the pwmout pin re-enables the output switch at an interval set by the capacitor on the pwm pin. if the fault is still present, the pwmout pin will go low after a short delay (typically 7s) and turn off the output switch. this fault-retry sequence continues until the fault is no longer present in the output. pwm dimming control there are two methods to control the current source for dimming using the lt3761/lt3761-1. one method uses the ctrl pin to adjust the current regulated in the leds. a second method uses the pwm pin to modulate the current source between zero and full current to achieve a precisely programmed average current. to make pwm dimming more accurate, the switch demand current is stored on the v c node during the quiescent phase when pwm is low. this feature minimizes recovery time when the pwm signal goes high. to further improve the recovery time, a disconnect switch may be used in the led current path to prevent the isp node from discharging during the pwm signal low phase. the minimum pwm on or off time is affected by choice of operating frequency and external component selection. the data sheet application titled boost led driver for 30khz pwm dimming demonstrates regulated current pulses as short as 3s are achievable. the best overall combina - tion of pwm and analog dimming capability is available if the minimum pwm pulse is at least six switching cycles. a low duty cycle pwm signal can cause excessive start-up times if it were allowed to interrupt the soft-star t sequence. therefore, once start-up is initiated by pwm > 1.3v, it will ignore a logical disable by the external pwm input signal. the device will continue to soft-start with switching and pwmout enabled until either the voltage at ss reaches the 1v level, or the output current reaches one-tenth of the full-scale current. at this point the device will begin following the dimming control as designated by pwm. disconnect switch selection an nmos in series with the led string at the cathode is recommended in most lt3761/lt3761-1 applications to improve the pwm dimming. the nmos bv dss rating should be as high as the open led regulation voltage set by the fb pin, which is typically the same rating as the power switch of the converter. the maximum continuous drain current i d(max) rating should be higher than the maximum led current.a pmos high side disconnect is needed for buck mode, buck-boost mode or an output short circuit protected boost. a level shift to drive the pmos switch is shown in the application schematic boost led driver with out - put short circuit protection. in the case of a high side disconnect follow the same guidelines as for the nmos regarding voltage and current ratings. it is important to include a bypass diode to gnd at the drain of the pmos switch to ensure that the voltage rating of this switch is not exceeded during transient fault events. pwm dimming signal generator the lt3761/lt3761-1 features a pwm dimming signal generator with programmable duty cycle. the frequency of the square wave signal at pwmout is set by a capacitor c pwm from the pwm pin to gnd according to the equation: f pwm = 14khz ? nf/c pwm the duty cycle of the signal at pwmout is set by a a scale current into the dim/ss pin (see figure 4 and the typical performance characteristics). downloaded from: http:///
