3000:1 True Color PWMTM Dimming  
The LT®3956 is a DC/DC converter designed to operate as  
a constant-current source and constant-voltage regulator.  
It is ideally suited for driving high current LEDs. It features  
an internal low side N-channel power MOSFET rated for  
84V at 3.3A and driven from an internal regulated 7.15V  
supply. The fixed frequency, current-mode architecture  
results in stable operation over a wide range of supply  
and output voltages. A ground referenced voltage FB pin  
serves as the input for several LED protection features,  
and also makes it possible for the converter to operate  
as a constant-voltage source. A frequency adjust pin  
allows the user to program the frequency from 100kHz  
to 1MHz to optimize efficiency, performance or external  
component size.

Available in the 36-Lead (5mm × 6mm) QFN Package  
The LT3956 senses output current at the high side of the  
LED string. High side current sensing is the most flexible  
scheme for driving LEDs, allowing boost, buck mode or  
buck-boost mode configuration. The PWM input provides  
LED dimming ratios of up to 3000:1, and the CTRL input  
provides additional analog dimming capability.

FB: Voltage Loop Feedback Pin. FB is intended for con-  
stant-voltage regulation or for LED protection/open LED  
detection. The internal transconductance amplifier with  
EN/UVLO: Shutdown and Undervoltage Detect Pin. An  
accurate 1.22V falling threshold with externally program-  
mable hysteresis detects when power is OK to enable  
switching. Rising hysteresis is generated by the external  
resistor divider and an accurate internal 2.1µA pull-down  
current. Above the 1.24V (nominal) threshold (but below  
6V), EN/UVLO input bias current is sub-µA. Below the  
falling threshold, a 2.1µA pull-down current is enabled so  
the user can define the hysteresis with the external resis-  
tor selection. An undervoltage condition resets soft-start.  
output V will regulate FB to 1.25V (nominal) through the  
C
DC/DC converter. If the FB input is regulating the loop, the  
VMODE pull-down is asserted. This action may signal an  
open LED fault. If FB is driven above the FB threshold (by  
an external power supply spike, for example), the VMODE  
pull-down will be de-asserted and the PWMOUT pin will  
be driven low to protect the LEDs from an overcurrent  
event. Do not leave the FB pin open. If not used, connect  
to GND.  
Tie to 0.4V, or less, to disable the device and reduce V  
quiescent current below 1µA.

tor. Likewise, at an ISP/ISN common mode voltage less  
than 3V, 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 335mV  
(typical), the SR latch will be reset regardless of the PWM  
comparator. These functions are intended to protect the  
power switch, as well as various external components in  
the power path of the DC/DC converter.  
The LT3956 is a constant-frequency, current mode  
converter with a low side N-channel MOSFET switch.  
The switch and PWMOUT pin drivers, and other chip  
loads, are powered from INTV , which is an internally  
CC  
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 power switch is  
turned off and the PWMOUT pin is driven to GND, the  
V pin is high impedance to store the previous switching  
C
In voltage feedback mode, the operation is similar to that  
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 generates a pulse to set  
the PWM latch, turning on the internal power MOSFET  
switch. A voltage input proportional to the switch current,  
sensed by an internal current sense resistor, is added to  
a stabilizing slope compensation ramp and the resulting  
switch-current sense signal is fed into the positive termi-  
nal 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  
described above, except the voltage at the V pin is set by  
C
the amplified difference of the internal reference of 1.25V  
(nominal) 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  
output of the error amplifier, labeled V , the latch is reset  
C
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 compensa-  
tion return to their starting points and a new cycle begins  
with the set pulse from the oscillator.  
tied together and the CTRL input tied to V  
.
REF  
Two LED specific functions featured on the LT3956 are  
controlled by the voltage feedback pin. First, when the  
FB pin exceeds a voltage 50mV lower (–4%) than the FB  
regulationvoltage, thepull-downdriverontheVMODEpin  
is activated. This function provides a status indicator that  
the load may be disconnected and the constant-voltage  
feedback loop is taking control of the switching regulator.  
WhentheFBpinexceedstheFBregulationvoltageby60mV  
(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. If the FB input exceeds the overvolt-  
age threshold (1.31V typical), then an externally driven  
overvoltage event may have caused the FB pin to be too  
high and the VMODE pull-down will be deactivated until  
the FB pin drops below the overvoltage threshold.  
Through this repetitive action, the PWM control algorithm  
establishes a switch duty cycle to regulate a current or  
voltage in the load. The V signal is integrated over many  
C
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 current 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 is not allowed to  
exceed the current limit threshold of 3.9A (typical). If the  
SW pin exceeds the current limit threshold, the SR latch is  
reset regardless of the output state of the PWM compara-

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, but take caution that the minimum ISN value  
does not fall below 3V, which is the lower limit of the LED  
current regulation function. The CTRL pin should be tied

For a boost or SEPIC application, the output voltage can  
be set by selecting the values of R3 and R4 (see Figure 2)  
according to the following equation:  
Output Current Capability  
An important consideration when using a switch with a  
fixed current limit is whether the regulator will be able  
to supply the load at the extremes of input and output  
voltage range. Several equations are provided to help  
determine this capability. Some margin to data sheet  
limits is included.

These equations assume the inductor value and switch-

current is ~600mA. Ripple current higher than this value  
will reduce available output current. Be aware that current

inductor ripple current, so additional margin may be  
required at high duty cycle.

ISP/ISN Short-Circuit Protection Feature for SEPIC  
If some level of analog dimming is acceptable at minimum

The ISP and ISN pins have a protection feature indepen-  
dent of the LED current sense feature that operates at  
ISN below 3V. The purpose of this feature is to provide  
continuous current sensing when ISN is below the LED  
current sense common mode range (during start-up or  
an output short-circuit fault) to prevent the development  
of excessive switching currents that could damage the  
power components in a SEPIC converter. The action  
threshold (335mV, typ) is above the default LED current  
sense threshold, so that no interference will occur over  
the ISN voltage range where these two functions overlap.  
This feature acts in the same manner as switch-current

Dimming Control  
Duty Cycle Considerations  
Switching duty cycle is a key variable defining converter  
operation, therefore, its limits must be considered when  
programming the switching frequency for a particular  
application. The fixed minimum on-time and minimum  
off-time (see Figure 4) and the switching frequency define  
the minimum and maximum duty cycle of the switch,  
respectively. The following equations express the mini-  
mum/maximum duty cycle:  
There are two methods to control the current source for  
dimming using the LT3956. 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 pro-  
grammedaveragecurrent. Tomakethismethodofcurrent  
controlmoreaccurate,theswitchdemandcurrentisstored  
on the V 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 will  
depend on the choice of operating frequency through the

voltage ripple are key inputs to estimating the capacitor  
value. An X7R type ceramic capacitor is usually the best  
choicesinceithastheleastvariationwithtemperatureand  
DC bias. Typically, boost and SEPIC converters require a  
lower value capacitor than a buck mode converter. As-  
suming that a 100mV input voltage ripple is acceptable,  
the required capacitor value for a boost converter can be  
estimated as follows:  
The major contributors to internal power dissipation are  
the current in the linear regulator to drive the switch, and  
the ohmic losses in the switch. The linear regulator power  
is proportional to V and switching frequency, so at high

In the buck mode configuration, the input capacitor has  
large pulsed currents due to the current returned through  
the Schottky diode when the switch is off. In this buck  
converter case it is important to place the capacitor as  
close as possible to the Schottky diode and to the PGND  
return of the switch. It is also important to consider the  
ripple current rating of the capacitor. For best reliability,  
this capacitor should have low ESR and ESL and have an  
adequate ripple current rating. The RMS input current for  
a buck mode LED driver is:

it is important to consider diode leakage, which increases  
with the temperature, from the output during the PWM  
low interval. Therefore, choose the Schottky diode with  
sufficiently low leakage current. Table 3 has some recom-  
mended component vendors.  
The selection of the output capacitor depends on the load  
and converter configuration, i.e., step-up or step-down  
and the operating frequency. For LED applications, the  
equivalent resistance of the LED is typically low and the  
output filter capacitor should be sized to attenuate the  
current ripple. Use of an X7R type ceramic capacitor is  
recommended.

plications than that in the buck mode applications. Lower  
operating frequencies will require proportionately higher  
capacitor values.  
Central Semiconductor  
Inductor Selection  
TheinductorusedwiththeLT3956shouldhaveasaturation  
current rating appropriate to the maximum switch current  
of 4.6A. Choose an inductor value based on operating  
frequency, input and output voltage to provide a current  
mode signal of approximately 0.6A magnitude. The fol-  
lowing equations are useful to estimate the inductor value  
(T = 1/f ):  
Soft-Start Capacitor Selection  
For many applications, it is important to minimize the  
inrush current at start-up. The built-in soft-start circuit  
significantly reduces the start-up current spike and output  
voltageovershoot. Thesoft-startintervalissetbythesoft-  
start capacitor selection according to the equation:

A typical value for the soft-start capacitor is 0.01µF. The  
soft-start pin reduces the oscillator frequency and the  
maximum current in the switch. The soft-start capacitor  
is discharged when EN/UVLO falls below its threshold,

interference (EMI), it is important to minimize the area of  
the high dV/dt switching node between the inductor, SW  
pin and anode of the Schottky rectifier. Use a ground plane  
under the switching node to eliminate interplane coupling  
to sensitive signals. The lengths of the high dI/dt traces:  
1) from the switch node through the switch to PGND, and  
2) from the switch node through the Schottky rectifier and  
filtercapacitortoPGND, shouldbeminimized. Theground  
points of these two switching current traces should come  
to a common point then connect to the ground plane at the  
PGND pin of the LT3956 through a separate via to Pin 12,  
as shown in the suggested layout (Figure 5). Likewise, the

Board Layout  
The high speed operation of the LT3956 demands careful  
attention to board layout and component placement. The

Since there is a small variable DC input bias current to  
the ISN and ISP inputs, resistance in series with these  
pins should be minimized to avoid creating an offset in  
the current sense threshold.
