LT3518 Full-Featured LED Driver with 2.3A Switch Current FEATURES n n n n n n DESCRIPTION The LT®3518 is a current mode DC/DC converter with an internal 2.3A, 45V switch specifically designed to drive LEDs. The LT3518 operates as a LED driver in boost, buck mode and buck-boost mode. It combines a traditional voltage loop and a unique current loop to operate as a constant-current source or constant-voltage source. Programmable switching frequency allows optimization of the external components for efficiency or component size. The switching frequency of the LT3518 can be synchronized to an external clock signal. The LED current is externally programmable with a 100mV sense resistor. The external PWM input provides 3000:1 LED dimming. The CTRL pin provides further 10:1 dimming ratio. The LT3518 is available in the tiny footprint 16-Lead QFN (4mm × 4mm) and the 16-Pin TSSOP package. The LT3518 provides a complete solution for both constant-voltage and constant-current applications. L, LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

Buck Mode LED Driver 3518fb LT3518 OPERATION The LT3518 is a constant frequency, current mode regulator with an internal power switch. Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram in Figure 1. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the SR latch is set, which turns on the Q1 power switch. A voltage proportional to the switch current is added to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal of the PWM comparator, A4. When this voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A4, the SR latch is reset, turning off the power switch. The level at the negative input of A4 is set by the error amplifier A3. A3 has two inputs, one from the voltage feedback loop and the other one from the current loop. Whichever feedback input is lower takes precedence, and forces the converter into either constant-current or constant-voltage mode. The LT3518 is designed to transition cleanly between these two modes of operation. The current sense amplifier senses the voltage across RSENSE and provides a pre-gain to amplifier A1. The output of A1 is simply an amplified version of the difference between the voltage across RSENSE and the lower of VCTRL/10 or 100mV. In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak switch current level to regulate the current through RSENSE. If the error amplifier’s output increases, more current is delivered to the output; if it decreases, less current is delivered. The current regulated in RSENSE can be adjusted by changing the input voltage VCTRL. The current sense amplifier provides rail-to-rail current sense operation. The FB voltage loop is implemented by the amplifier A2. When the voltage loop dominates, the error amplifier and the amplifier A2 regulate the FB pin to 1.01V (constant-voltage mode). Dimming of the LED array is accomplished by pulsing the LED current using the PWM pin. When the PWM pin is low, switching is disabled and the error amplifier is turned off so that it does not drive the VC pin. Also, all internal loads on the VC pin are disabled so that the charge state of the VC pin will be saved on the external compensation capacitor. This feature reduces transient recovery time. When the PWM input again transitions high, the demand current for the switch returns to the value just before PWM last transitioned low. To further reduce transient recovery time, an external PMOS is used to disconnect the LED array current loop when PWM is low, stopping CFILT from discharging. 3518fb 9 LT3518 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Dimming Control There are two methods to control the current source for dimming using the LT3518. The first method uses the PWM pin to modulate the current source between zero and full current to achieve a precisely programmed average current. To make this method of current control more accurate, the switch demand current is stored on the VC node during the quiescent phase. This feature minimizes recovery time when the PWM signal goes high. To further improve the recovery time, a disconnect switch is used in the LED current path to prevent the output capacitor from discharging in the PWM signal low phase. The minimum PWM on or off time will depend on the choice of operating frequency through RT input pin or SYNC pin. When using the SYNC function, the SYNC and PWM signals must have the aligned rising edges to achieve the optimized high PWM dimming ratio. For best current accuracy, the minimum PWM low or high time should be at least six switching cycles (3μs for fSW = 2MHz). Maximum PWM period is determined by the system and is unlikely to be longer than 12ms. The maximum PWM dimming ratio (PWMRATIO) can be calculated from the maximum PWM period (tMAX) and the minimum PWM pulse width (tMIN) as follows: t PWMRATIO = MAX tMIN Example: tMAX = 9ms, tMIN = 3μs (fSW = 2MHz) PWMRATIO = 9ms/3μs = 3000:1 The second method of dimming control uses the CTRL pin to linearly adjust the current sense threshold during the PWM high state. When the CTRL pin voltage is less than 1V, the LED current is: ILED = VCTRL 10 • RSENSE (2) Figure 3 When VCTRL is higher than 1V, the LED current is clamped to be: ILED = 100mV RSENSE (3) The LED current programming feature possibly increases VREF 45.3k 2V 49.9k CTRL 5k PTC 3518 F02 Figure 2 total dimming range by a factor of ten. The CTRL pin should not be left open (tie to VREF if not used). The CTRL pin can also be used in conjunction with a PTC thermistor to provide overtemperature protection for the LED load. Setting Output Voltage For a boost application, the output voltage can be set by selecting the values of R1 and R2 (see Figure 3) according to the following equation: VOUT = R1 + 1 • 1.01V R2 VOUT LT3518 FB R2 3518 F03 (1) (4) R1 3518fb 10 LT3518 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION For a buck or a buck-boost configuration, the output voltage is typically level-shifted to a signal with respect to GND as illustrated in the Figure 4. The output can be expressed as: R1 VOUT = • 1.01V + VBE(Q1) R2 + R1 VOUT RSENSE LED ARRAY Table 1 provides some recommended inductor vendors. Table 1.

A 1μF or greater capacitor with low ESR should be used. A ceramic capacitor is usually the best choice. In the buck mode configuration, the capacitor at the input to the power converter has large pulsed currents due to the current returned though the Schottky diode when the switch is off. For best reliability, this capacitor should have low ESR and ESL and have an adequate ripple current rating. The RMS input current is: IIN(RMS) = ILED • (1– D) • D (8) LT3518 FB R2 3518 F04 – Figure 4 Inductor Selection The inductor used with the LT3518 should have a saturation current rating of 2A or greater. For buck mode LED drivers, the inductor value should be chosen to give a ripple current “ΔI” of ~30% to 40% of the LED current. In the buck mode, the inductor value can be estimated using the formula: DBUCK • t SW (µs) • ( VIN – VLED ) I V DBUCK = LED VIN L (µH) = (6) where D is the switch duty cycle. A 2.2μF ceramic type capacitor is usually sufficient. Output Capacitor Selection The selection of output capacitor depends on the load and converter configuration, i.e., step-up or step-down. 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. To achieve the same LED ripple current, the required filter capacitor value is larger in the boost and buck-boost mode applications than that in the buck mode applications. For LED buck mode applications, a 1μF ceramic capacitor is usually sufficient. For the LED boost and buck-boost mode applications, a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor is usually sufficient. Very high performance PWM dimming applications may require a larger capacitor value to support the LED voltage during PWM transitions. VLED is the voltage across the LED string, VIN is the input voltage to the converter, and tSW is the switching period. In the boost configuration, the inductor can be estimated using the formula: DBOOST • t SW (µs) • VIN I V –V DBOOST = LED IN VLED L (µH) = (7) 3518fb 11 LT3518 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Use only ceramic capacitors with X7R, X5R or better dielectric as they are best for temperature and DC bias stability of the capacitor value. All ceramic capacitors exhibit loss of capacitance value with increasing DC voltage bias, so it may be necessary to choose a higher value capacitor to get the required capacitance at the operation voltage. Always check that the voltage rating of the capacitor is sufficient. Table 2 shows some recommended capacitor vendors. Table 2.

DFLS140L Zetex ZLLS2000TA International Rectifier 10MQ060N 60 1.5 40 2.2 40 1 60 2 VR (V) IAVE (A) Board Layout The high speed operation of the LT3518 demands careful attention to board layout and component placement. The Exposed Pad of the package is the only GND terminal of the IC and is also important for thermal management of the IC. It is crucial to achieve a good electrical and thermal contact between the Exposed Pad and the ground plane of the board. To reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), it is important to minimize the area of the SW node. Use a GND plane under SW and minimize the length of traces in the high frequency switching path between SW and GND through the diode and the capacitors. Since there is a small DC input bias current to the ISN and ISP inputs, resistance in series with these inputs should be minimized and matched, otherwise there will be an offset. Finally, the bypass capacitor on the VIN supply to the LT3518 should be placed as close as possible to the VIN terminal of the device. Soft-Start For many applications, it is necessary to minimize the inrush current at start-up. The built-in soft-start circuit significantly reduces the start-up current spike and output voltage overshoot. A typical value for the soft-start capacitor is 0.1μF . Loop Compensation The LT3518 uses an internal transconductance error amplifier whose VC output compensates the control loop. The external inductor, output capacitor, and the compensation resistor and capacitor determine the loop stability. The inductor and output capacitor are chosen based on performance, size and cost. The compensation resistor and capacitor at VC are selected to optimize control loop stability. For typical LED applications, a 10nF compensation capacitor at VC is adequate, and a series resistor is not required. A compensation resistor may be used to increase the slew rate on the VC pin to maintain tighter regulation of LED current during fast transients on VIN or CTRL. Diode Selection The Schottky diode conducts current during the interval when the switch is turned off. Select a diode rated for the maximum SW voltage. If using the PWM feature for dimming, 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 recommended component vendors. 3518fb 12 LT3518 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Switching Frequency There are two methods to set the switching frequency of LT3518. Both methods require a resistor connected at RT pin. Do not leave the RT pin open. Also, do not load this pin with a capacitor. A resistor must always be connected for proper operation. One way to set the frequency is simply connecting an external resistor between the RT pin and GND. See Table 4 below or see the Oscillator Frequency vs RT graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics for resistor values and corresponding switching frequencies. Table 4. Switching Frequency vs RT Switching Frequency (kHz) 250 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 RT ( kΩ ) 90.9 39.2 16.9 9.53 6.04 4.02 to generate a switching frequency 20% lower than the external clock when external clock is absent. In general, a lower switching frequency should be used where either very high or very low switching duty cycle operation is required, or high efficiency is desired. Selection of a higher switching frequency will allow use of smaller value external components and yield a smaller solution size and profile. Thermal Considerations The LT3518 is rated to a maximum input voltage of 30V for continuous operation, and 40V for nonrepetitive one second transients. Careful attention must be paid to the internal power dissipation of the LT3518 at higher input voltages to ensure that the maximum junction temperature is not exceeded. This junction limit is especially important when operating at high ambient temperatures. The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the package must be soldered to a ground plane. This ground should then be connected to an internal copper ground plane with thermal vias placed directly under the package to spread out the heat dissipated by the LT3518. The other way is to make the LT3518 synchronize with an external clock via SYNC pin. For proper operation, a resistor should be connected at the RT pin and be able 3518fb 13 LT3518 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Buck Mode 1.5A LED Driver RSENSE 68mΩ C2 2.2μF ISP VIN C1 2.2μF VREF PWM SHDN LT3518 CTRL PWM FB SS IL 1A/DIV PVIN = 24V fOSC = 1MHz ILED = 1.5A 2μs/DIV 3518 TA02b PVIN 24V M1 1.5A C3 10μF L1 15μH D1 SW ILED 1A/DIV 1000:1 PWM Dimming at 120Hz PWM 5V/DIV VIN 3.3V ISN TG RT SYNC TGEN VREF VC GND C4 0.1μF C1: KEMET C0805C225K4RAC C2: MURATA GRM31MR71E225KA93 C3: MURATA GRM32DR71E106KA12B C4, C5: MURATA GRM21BR71H104KA01B D1: ZETEX ZLLS2000TA L1: TOKO B992AS-150M LEDS: LUXEON K2 (WHITE) M1: ZETEX ZXMP6A13GTA RT 16.9k 1MHz C5 0.1μF 3518 TA02a 500mA, 5V to 12V Boost Converter with Accurate Input Current Limit RSENSE L1 50m 4.3 H D1 Efficiency VOUT 12V 500mA R1 549k EFFICIENCY (%) 90 VIN 5V C2 2.2 F ISP TG ISN VIN CTRL PWM SHDN SHDN TGEN VREF VC R3 10k C4 10nF C1: KEMET C0805C225K4RAC C2: KEMET C1206C106K4RAC C3: MURATA GRM21BR71H104KA01B C4: MURATA GCM033R71A103KA03 D1: ZETEX ZLLS2000TA L1: TOKO B992AS-4R3N GND LT3518 SW FB C2 10 F R2 49.9k 80 70 SYNC RT SS C3 0.1 F RT 6.04k 2MHz 3518 TA03a 60 50 0 100 300 200 ILOAD (mA) 400 500 3518 TA03b 3518fb 14 LT3518 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Buck-Boost Mode LED Driver L1 4.3μH D1 R1 3.92M FB R2 124k PWM PWM TGEN VREF C1 2.2μF CTRL SYNC VC RT 6.04k 2MHz C3 0.1μF 3518 TA04a VIN 8V TO 16V SHDN VIN SW C5 0.22μF 300mA ISP LT3518 ISN TG M1 C2 4.7μF RSENSE 330mΩ RT SS GND C4 0.1μF C1: KEMET C0806C225K4RAC C2: KEMET C1206C475K3RAC C3, C4: MURATA GRM21BR71H104KA01B C5: MURATA GRM21BR71H224KA01B D1: ZETEX ZLLS2000TA L1: TOKO B992AS-4R3N LEDS: LUXEON I (WHITE) M1: ZETEX ZXMP6A13GTA 3000:1 PWM Dimming at 120Hz 90 PWM 5V/DIV ILED 200mA/DIV EFFICIENCY (%) 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 0 20 VIN = 10V CTRL = VREF Efficiency IL1 1A/DIV VIN = 10V fOSC = 2MHz ILED = 300mA 500ns/DIV 3518 TA04b 40 60 80 100 3518 TA04c PWM DUTY CYCLE (%) 3518fb 15 LT3518 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Buck Mode 1A LED Driver with Open LED Protection and Sync Input RSENSE 100mΩ C2 2.2μF PVIN 32V M1 LED1 1A LED6 R3 5.62k L1 10μH SW R1 49.9k Q1 FB R2 2.00k C3 10μF VIN 3.3V ISP VIN C1 2.2μF VREF PWM SYNC 3.3V, 1.2MHz SHDN ISN TG D1 LT3518 CTRL PWM FB SS FB C1: KEMET C0806C225K4RAC C2: MURATA GRM31MR71E225KA93 C3: MURATA GRM32DR71E106KA12B C4, C5: MURATA GRM21BR71H104KA01B D1: ZETEX ZLLS2000TA L1: TOKO B992AS-100M LEDS: LUXEON III (WHITE) M1: ZETEX ZXMP6A13GTA M2: PHILIPS PMBT3906 RT SYNC TGEN VREF VC GND C4 0.1μF RT 16.7k 1MHz C5 0.1μF 3518 TA05a 1000:1 PWM Dimming at 120Hz 100 PWM 5V/DIV ILED 1A/DIV IL1 1A/DIV CTRL = VREF 90 EFFICIENCY (%) 80 70 60 50 40 0 20 Efficiency PVIN = 32V fOSC = 1.2MHz ILED = 1A 2μs/DIV 3518 TA05b 40 60 80 PWM DUTY CYCLE (%) 100 3518 TA05c 3518fb 16 LT3518 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Boost 300mA LED Driver with LED Open Protection L1 8.2μH D1 VIN 8V TO 16V SHDN VIN PWM TGEN VREF C1 2.2μF CTRL SYNC VC RT 16.9k 1MHz C4 0.1μF PWM SW ISP RSENSE 330mΩ LT3518 ISN TG FB R1 1M 300mA C3 0.1μF R2 30.1k M1 LED1 LED2 C1: KEMET C1206C225K2RAC C2: TDK C5750X7R1H685M C3, C4: MURATA GRM21BR71H104KA01B D1: ZETEX ZLLS2000TA L1: TOKO B992AS-8R2N LEDS: LUXEON I (WHITE) M1: ZETEX ZXMP6A13GTA C2 6.8μF RT SS GND LED8 3518 TA06a 3000:1 PWM Dimming at 100Hz PWM 5V/DIV ILED 200mA/DIV 100 90 80 EFFICIENCY (%) 70 60 50 40 30 20 0 20 Efficiency IL1 1A/DIV VIN = 12V fOSC = 1MHz ILED = 300mA 1μs/DIV 3518 TA06b VIN = 12V CTRL = VREF 60 80 40 PWM DUTY CYCLE (%) 100 3518 TA06c 3518fb 17 LT3518 PACKAGE DESCRIPTION UF Package 16-Lead Plastic QFN (4mm × 4mm) (Reference LTC DWG # 05-08-1692) 0.72 ± 0.05 4.35 ± 0.05 2.15 ± 0.05 2.90 ± 0.05 (4 SIDES) PACKAGE OUTLINE 0.30 ± 0.05 0.65 BSC RECOMMENDED SOLDER PAD PITCH AND DIMENSIONS BOTTOM VIEW—EXPOSED PAD 4.00 ± 0.10 (4 SIDES) PIN 1 TOP MARK (NOTE 6) 2.15 ± 0.10 (4-SIDES) 0.75 ± 0.05 R = 0.115 TYP PIN 1 NOTCH R = 0.20 TYP OR 0.35 × 45° CHAMFER 15 16 0.55 ± 0.20 1 2 (UF16) QFN 1004 0.200 REF 0.00 – 0.05 NOTE: 1.
