The LTM®8005 is a 38VIN, 38VOUT boost µModule (power
micromodule) LED driver designed to regulate current or
voltage and is ideal for driving LEDs. The fixed frequency
and current mode architecture result in stable operation
over a wide range of supply and output voltages. Spread
spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM) can be activated
for improved electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance. The ground-referred voltage FB pin serves as the
input for several LED protection features, and also allows the
converter to operate as a constant voltage source. The PWM
input provides LED dimming ratios of up to 3000:1, and the
CTRL inputs provide additional analog dimming capability.
nn
The low profile package enables utilization of unused
space on the bottom of PC boards. The LTM8005 is packaged in thermally enhanced, compact over-molded Ball
Grid Array (BGA) package suitable for automated assembly by standard surface mount equipment. The LTM8005
is RoHS compliant.

LTM8005
PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Bank 1, Pin K1, Pin K8): Tie these GND pins to a
local ground plane below the LTM8005 and the circuit
components. In most applications, the bulk of the heat
flow out of the LTM8005 is through these pads, so the
printed circuit design has a large impact on the thermal
performance of the part. See the PCB Layout and Thermal
Considerations sections for more details. Return the feedback divider to this net.
SW (Bank 2): Power Switch Node. This is the drain of the
internal power switching MOSFET. For boost, buck-boost
mode and buck mode topologies, connect this bank to
the inductor and the DA bank. For a SEPIC, connect this
bank to an inductor winding and the positive coupling
capacitor terminal.
DA (Bank 3): Power Diode Anode. For boost, buck-boost
mode and buck mode topologies, connect this bank to
the inductor and the SW bank. For a SEPIC, connect this
bank to an inductor winding and the negative coupling
capacitor terminal.
VOUT (Bank 4): Power Output Pins. Apply the output filter
capacitor between these pins and the GND pins.
ISN (Bank 5): Output Current Sense Resistor. The
LTM8005 incorporates a sense resistor between VOUT
and ISN to set the output current regulation point and
for output current monitoring. If a larger output current
is required, apply an external resistor between VOUT and
ISN. Keep this pin voltage within 0.3V of VOUT.
LED (Bank 6): LED Current Output. Connect the anode of
the LED string to this bank.
VIN (Pin F1): Input Power. The VIN pin supplies current to
the LTM8005’s internal regulators and circuitry, and must
be bypassed with a 0.22µF (or larger) capacitor placed
close to the LTM8005.
IVINN (Pin F2): Input Sense Resistor Signal. Apply an
external sense resistor between IVINP and IVINN to set
the maximum input current and for input current monitoring. If this function is not required, tie both IVINP and
IVINN to VIN. Keep this pin voltage within 0.3V of VIN.
EN/UVLO (Pin G1): Enable and Precision UVLO. An accurate 1.22V falling threshold with externally programmable
hysteresis detects when power is OK to enable switching.
Rising hysteresis is generated by the external resistor
divider, an internal 499kΩ resistor between EN/UVLO and
VIN and an accurate internal 3µA pull-down current. Above
the threshold, EN/UVLO input bias current is sub-µA.
Below the falling threshold, a 3µA pull-down current is
enabled so the user can optimize the hysteresis with the
external resistor selection. An undervoltage condition
resets soft-start. The EN/UVLO pin may be connected
directly to VIN, but do not drive this pin directly from
another low impedance voltage source. If EN/UVLO must
be driven from a voltage source, do so with at least a 50Ω
series resistor.
IVINP (Pin G2): Input Sense Resistor Signal. Apply an
external sense resistor between IVINP and IVINN to set
the maximum input current and for input current monitoring. If this function is not required, tie both IVINP and
IVINN to VIN. Keep this pin voltage within 0.3V of VIN.
OVLO (Pin H1): Input Overvoltage Lockout Pin. An
accurate 1.25V rising threshold detects when power is
OK to enable switching. If not used, tie this pin to GND.
IVINCOMP (Pin H2): Input Current Sense Amplifier Output
Pin. The voltage at IVINCOMP pin is proportional to IIN as
VIVINCOMP = IIN • RINSNS • 20. A 10nF capacitor to GND
is provided internally at this pin to compensate the input
current loop. Do not load this pin with a current and do not
drive this pin with an external source, although additional
capacitance may be added externally.
SHORTLED (Pin H7): An open-collector pull-down on
SHORTLED asserts when any of the following conditions
happen:
1. FB < 0.3V after SS pin reaches 1.7V at start-up.
2. LED overcurrent (ILED > 2.4A).
To function, the pin requires an external pull-up resistor.
SHORTLED status is only updated during PWM high state
and latched during PWM low state. SHORTLED remains
asserted until the SS pin is discharged below 0.2V. If not
used, leave floating or tie to GND.
OPENLED (Pin H8): Fault Indicator. An open-collector
pull-down on OPENLED asserts if the FB input is above
1.20V (typical), and the LED current is less than 0.16A
(typical). To function, the pin requires an external pull-up

PIN FUNCTIONS
resistor. OPENLED status is updated only during PWM
high state and latched during PWM low state. If not used,
leave floating or tie to GND.
ISMON (Pin J1): LED Current Report Pin. The LED current is reported as VISMON = (LED current)/1.6. Leave the
ISMON pin unconnected if not used. When PWM is low,
ISMON is driven to ground. Bypass with a 47nF capacitor
or higher if needed. Do not drive this pin with an external
source.
AUX (Pin J2): Auxiliary Pin. This pin is internally connected to VOUT to ease layout. Conveniently located next
to FB, it is provided to simplify layout of the output voltage
feedback network.
VREF (Pin J6): Voltage Reference Output Pin. Typically 2V.
This pin drives a resistor divider for the CTRL pins, either
for analog dimming or for temperature limit/compensation of the LED load. It can supply up to 100µA. Do not
drive this pin with an external source.
PWM (Pin J7): PWM Input Signal Pin. A low signal turns
off switching, idles the oscillator, disconnects the VC pin
from all internal loads, and disconnects the output load
from VOUT. PWM has an internal 500kΩ pull-down resistor. If not used, connect to VREF.
RAMP (Pin J8): The RAMP pin is used for spread spectrum frequency modulation. The internal switching frequency is spread out to 70% of the original value, where
the modulation frequency is set by 12µA/(2 • 1V • CRAMP).
If not used, tie this pin to GND.
FB (Pin K2): Voltage Loop Feedback Pin. FB is intended
for constant-voltage regulation or for LED protection/open
LED detection. The internal transconductance amplifier
with output VC regulates FB to 1.25V (nominal) through
the DC/DC converter. If the FB input is regulating the loop,
and LED current is less than 0.15A (typical), the OPENLED
pull-down is asserted. This action may signal an open LED
fault. If FB is driven above 1.3V (by an external power supply spike, for example), the internal N-Channel MOSFET
is turned off and the load is disconnected from VOUT to
protect the LEDs from an overcurrent event. Do not tie
this pin to GND as the SHORTLED will be asserted and
the part will be shut down.
VC (Pin K3): Transconductance Error Amplifier Output Pin.
Used to stabilize the control loop with an RC network. This
pin is high impedance when PWM is low, a feature that
stores the demanded current state variable for the next
PWM high transition. Connect a capacitor between this pin
and GND; a resistor in series with the capacitor is recommended for fast transient response. Do not leave this pin
open, and do not drive this pin with an external source.
SS (Pin K4): Soft-Start Pin. This pin modulates oscillator
frequency and compensation pin voltage (VC). The softstart interval is set with an external capacitor. The pin
has a 28µA (typical) pull-up current source to an internal
2.5V rail. This pin can be used as fault timer. Provided the
SS pin has exceeded 1.7V to complete a blanking period
at start-up, the pull-up current source is disabled and a
2.8µA pull-down current is enabled when any one of the
following fault conditions happen:
1. LED overcurrent (ILED > 2.4A)
2. Output short (FB < 0.3V after start-up)
3. Thermal limit
The SS pin must be discharged below 0.2V to re-initiate
a soft-start cycle. Switching is disabled until SS begins to
recharge. It is important to select a capacitor large enough
that FB can exceed 0.3V under normal load conditions
before SS exceeds 1.7V. Do not leave this pin open and
do not drive this pin with an external source.
RT (Pin K5): Switching Frequency Adjustment Pin. Set
the frequency using a resistor to GND. Do not leave the
RT pin open. Do not drive this pin with an external source.
CTRL1, CTRL2 (Pin K6, K7): Current Sense Threshold
Adjustment. CTRL1 and CTRL2 have identical functions.
The output current is regulated by CTRL1 or CTRL2.
The pin with the lowest voltage takes precedence. For
0.1V
