LT3595A
16 Channel
Buck Mode LED Driver
DESCRIPTION
The LT^®3595A is a high performance LED Driver designed
to drive sixteen independent channels of up to 10 LEDs
at currents up to 50mA. Series connection of the LEDs
provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform bright-
ness. Power switches, Schottky diodes, and compensation
components are all internal, providing a small converter
footprint and lower component cost. The high 2MHz
switching frequency permits the use of tiny, low profile
inductors and capacitors. A fixed frequency, current mode
architecture results in stable operation over a wide range
of supply and output voltage.
A single external resistor sets the LED current for all sixteen
channels, and dimming is then controlled for each chan-
nel by pulse width modulating the individual PWM pins.
LED current accuracy is 7%, channel-to-channel current
matching is ±4% and the PWM dimming range is 5000:1.
The part is available in a 5mm × 9mm × 0.75mm 56-pin
QFN package.
