The LT®3745-1 integrates a 16-channel LED driver with a
55V buck controller. The LED driver lights up to 75mA/36V
of LEDs in series per channel, and the buck controller generates an adaptive bus voltage supplying the parallel LED
strings. Each channel has individual 6-bit dot correction
current adjustment and 12-bit grayscale PWM dimming.
Both dot correction and grayscale are accessible via a serial
data interface in LVDS logic. A ±4% LED current matching and a 0.5µs minimum LED on-time can be achieved
at 50mA per channel.
n
The LT3745-1 performs full diagnostic and protection
against open/short LED and overtemperature fault. The
fault status is sent back through the serial data interface.
The 30MHz fully-buffered, cascadable LVDS serial data
interface makes the chip extremely suitable for large screen
LCD dynamic backlighting and mono-, multi-, full-color
LED displays. The LT3745 uses a TTL/CMOS serial data
interface instead of LVDS.
APPLICATIONS
