MILPITAS, CA April 13, 2015 The LT3952 is a current mode stepup DC/DC converter with an internal 60V, 4A DMOS power switch. It is specifically designed to drive high power LEDs in multiple configurations. It combines input and output current regulation loops with output voltage regulation to operate as a flexible current/voltage source. The LT3952's 3V to 42V input voltage range makes it ideal for a wide variety of applications, including automotive, industrial and architectural lighting.
The LT3952 can drive up to sixteen 350mA white LEDs from a nominal 12V input, delivering in excess of 15 watts. It incorporates a high side current sense, enabling its use in boost mode, buck mode, buckboost mode or SEPIC topologies. Internal spread spectrum frequency modulation minimizes EMI concerns. The LT3952 delivers efficiencies of over 94% in the boost topology, eliminating the need for external heat sinking, and internal LED short circuit protection enables added reliability required in most applications. A frequency adjust pin permits the user to program the switching frequency between 200kHz and 3MHz, optimizing efficiency while minimizing external component size and cost. The LT3952 delivers over 90% efficiency while switching at 2MHz in a tiny solution footprint. The LT3952 provides a very compact high power LED driver solution in a thermally enhanced TSSOP28E package.
The LT3952 has a gate driver for a PMOS LED disconnect switch, delivering dimming ratios of up to 4,000:1 using an external PWM signal. For less demanding dimming requirements, the CTRL pin can be used to offer a 10:1 analog dimming range and an internal PWM generator can be used for 5:1 dimming. The LT3952's fixed frequency, currentmode architecture offers stable operation over a wide range of supply and output voltages. Output short circuit protection and open LED protection enhance system reliability. Other features include frequency
synchronization, spread spectrum frequency modulation, programmable VIN undervoltage and overvoltage protection, and an input current limit and monitor.
The LT3952EFE is available in a thermally enhanced 28lead TSSOP package. Three temperature grades are available, with operation from 40°C to 125°C (junction) for the extended, and industrial grades, and a high temperature grade of 40°C to 150°C. Pricing starts at $3.95 each in 1,000piece quantities and all versions are available from stock. For more information, visit www.linear.com/product/LT3952.
