3 Description
The LM3492HC/-Q1 device integrates a boost
converter and a two-channel current regulator to
implement a highly efficient and cost effective LED
driver. This device drives two individually dimmable
LED strings with a maximum power of 15 W and an
output voltage of up to 65 V. The boost converter
employs a proprietary projected-on-time control
method to give a fast transient response with no
compensation required. The nearly constant
switching frequency can be set to a level from 200
kHz to 1 MHz. Ceramic capacitors stabilize the
application circuit and produce no audible noise on
dimming. The programmable peak current limit and
soft-start features reduce current surges at start-up.
An integrated, 190-mΩ, 3.9-A, N-Channel MOSFET
switch minimizes the solution size. The fast slew rate
current regulator allows high frequency and narrow
pulse width dimming signals to achieve a very high
contrast ratio of 10000:1. The LED current can be set
from 50 mA to 250 mA by a single resistor.

5 Description (continued)
To maximize the efficiency, dynamic headroom control (DHC) automatically adjusts the output voltage to a
minimum. The DHC also facilitates a single BOM for different number of LED in a string, which is required for
back-light panels of different size, thereby reducing overall development time and cost. The LM3492HC device
includes a COMM pin that serves as a bidirectional I/O pin. The versatile COMM pin interface with an external
micro-controller unit (MCU) is used for the following functions: power-good, overtemperature, IOUT overvoltage
and undervoltage indications, switching frequency tuning, and channel 1 disabling. Other supervisory functions of
the device include precise enable, VCC undervoltage lockout, current regulator over-power protection, and
thermal shutdown protection. The device is available in the thermally enhanced PWP, 20-pin package.

DESCRIPTION
NAME
NO.
CDHC
11
I
Dynamic headroom control. An external capacitor connected to this pin sets the DHC sensitivity. At
start-up, a 12- µA internal current source charges an external capacitor to provide a soft-start
function.
COMM
13
I/O
Bidirectional logic communication. This pin is open drain for various indications (power-good,
overtemperature, IOUT overvoltage and undervoltage) and command sending (switching frequency
tuning and channel 1 disabling).
DIM1/CLK
15
I/O
Dimming control of channel 1. Control the on and off of the current regulator of channel 1. This pin is
internally pulled low by a 5-µA current. This pin also serves as a clock signal for latching input and
output data of the COMM pin.
DIM2
16
I
Dimming control of channel 2. Control the on and off of the current regulator of channel 2. This pin is
internally pulled low by a 5-µA current.
EN
1
I
Enable input. Contains an internal pullup. Connect to a voltage higher than 1.63 V to provide
precision enable for the device.
FB
7
I
Output voltage feedback. The output voltage is connected to this pin through a feedback resistor
divider for output voltage regulation. The voltage of this pin is from 1.05 V to 2.5 V.
GND
8
G
Analog signal ground. Connect to the exposed pad directly beneath the device.
ILIM
20
I
Peak current limit adjust. Connecting an external resistor from the ILIM pin to the VCC pin reduces
peak current limit. Connect the ILIM pin to ground to obtain the maximum current limit.
IOUT1
10
I
Current regulator input for channel 1. Input of the current regulator of channel 1. The regulated
current is programmable (see the IREF pin).
IOUT2
9
I
Current regulator input for channel 2. Input of the current regulator of channel 2. The regulated
current is programmable (see the IREF pin).
IREF
12
I
Current setting pin for the current regulators. An external resistor connected from this pin to ground
programs the regulated current of the current regulator of channels 1 and 2.
