The switching frequency is programmable from 200kHz to 2.1MHz through an external resistor. LED dimming can be achieved with analog dimming on the CTRL pin, and with pulse width modulation dimming on the PWM pin. The LT3599 accurately regulates LED current even when the input voltage is higher than the LED output voltage. Additional features include programmable LED current derating, switching frequency synchronization to an external clock, LED string disable control, OPENLED alert pin, SHORTLED alert pins and programmable maximum output voltage when all LED strings are disconnected.

Connect the bottom cathode of each LED string to these pins. DISABLE4: Allows Disabling Channel 4. Connect to VREF to disable channel 4. If channel 4 is disabled, the LED4 pin should be connected to the LED3 pin. Connect DISABLE4 to ground to allow operation of channel 4. SHORTLED: Indicates a high side short (LED pin shorted to VOUT). This is an open-collector output. OPENLED: Open LED Flag. An open-collector output when any LED string opens. ISET: Programs Led Current for Each String. A resistor to ground programs LED currents between 30mA and 120mA CTRL: LED Current Control. If the CTRL pin is not used, tie this pin to VREF. VC: Error Amplifier Output Pin. Tie the external compensation network to this pin. FB: Feedback Pin for Overvoltage Protection. Reference voltage is 1.223V. Connect the resistive divider tap here. Minimize trace area at FB. Set VOUT according to VOUT = 1.223(1 + R2/R1) when overvoltage protection occurs. TSET: An external resistor divider from VREF programs a decrease in LED current versus internal junction temperature (setting temperature breakpoint). If the TSET pin is not used, tie this pin to VREF. SYNC: Frequency Synchronization Pin. This input allows for synchronizing the operating frequency to an external clock. The RT resistor should be chosen to program a switching frequency 20% slower than SYNC pulse frequency. This pin should be grounded if this feature is not used. PWM: Input Pin for PWM Dimming Control. Above 1V allows converter switching, and below 0.4V disables switching with VC pin level maintained. A PWM signal driving the PWM pin provides accurate dimming control. The PWM signal can be driven from 0V to 5V. If unused, the pin should be connected to VREF. RT : A Resistor to Ground Which Programs Switching Frequency Between 200kHz and 2.1MHz. For SYNC function, choose the resistor to program a frequency 20% slower than the SYNC pulse frequency. Do not leave this pin open. SS: Soft-Start Pin. Place a soft-start capacitor here. Upon start-up, a 11μA current charges the capacitor. Use a larger capacitor for a slower start-up. VREF : Bandgap Voltage Reference. Internally set to 1.227V. This pin can supply up to 100μA. Can be used to program the CTRL pin voltage using resistor dividers to ground. GND: Analog Ground. Tie directly to local ground plane. Connect RT, ISET and TSET resistors between this local ground plane and their respective pins. SHDN/UVLO: The SHDN/UVLO pin has an accurate 1.4V threshold and can be used to program an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold for system input supply using a resistor divider from supply to ground. A 4μA pin current hysteresis allows programming of undervoltage lockout (UVLO) hysteresis. 1.4V turns the part on and removes a 4μA sink current from the pin. SHDN/UVLO = 0V reduces VIN current < 0.1μA. SHDN/UVLO can be directly connected to VIN. Do not leave this pin open. VIN : Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed with a capacitor to ground. SW: Switch Pin. This is the collector of the internal NPN power switch. Minimize the metal trace area connected to this pin to minimize EMI. VOUT: Output Pin. This pin provides power to all LEDs. VO_SW: Drain of an Internal PMOS. The internal PMOS disconnects the feedback resistors from the VOUT pin during shutdown and when the PWM pin is low. Exposed Pad: Ground. The ground for the IC should be soldered to a continuous copper ground plane under the LT3599 die. 3599f 7 LT3599 BLOCK DIAGRAM SHDN/UVLO VIN RT SYNC SW 1.4V – + 1.227 VREF SLOPE OSCILLATOR SS A3 PWM PWM DIMMING LOGIC PMOS VREF CTRL TSET ISET GND 8 + VPTAT + 1V A1 Figure 1.

Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram in Figure 1. To turn on the LT3599, the VIN pin must exceed 3.1V and the SHDN/UVLO pin must exceed 1.4V. The SHDN/UVLO pin threshold allows programming of an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold for the system input supply using a simple resistor divider. A 4μA current flows into the SHDN/UVLO pin before the part turns on and is removed after the part turns on. This current hysteresis allows the programming of hysteresis for the UVLO threshold. See “Shutdown Pin and Programming Undervoltage Lockout” in the Applications Information section. For part switching, the PWM pin must exceed 1V (typical). For micropower shutdown, the SHDN/UVLO pin at 0V reduces VIN supply current to approximately ~0μA. LT3599 has a built-in boost converter which converts the input voltage to a higher output voltage for driving LEDs. The LED strings are connected to current sources where the current level is set with an external resistor on the ISET pin. The LED1 to LED4 voltages are monitored for output voltage regulation. During normal operation, when all LEDs are used, the lowest LED pin voltage (LED1 to LED4) is used to regulate the output voltage to ensure all LED strings have enough voltage to run the programmed current. If the user prefers only three strings, then LED string 4 can be disabled through the DISABLE4 pin and by connecting LED4 to any other LED pin. If the user prefers only two strings, then two pins are connected in parallel (i.e., LED1,2 and LED3,4 can be connected together in operation). The basic loop uses a pulse from an internal oscillator to set the SR latch and turn on the internal power NPN switch Q1. The signal at the noninverting input of the PWM comparator (A2) is proportional to the sum of the switch current and oscillator ramp. When this signal exceeds the VC voltage, the PWM comparator resets the latch. The switch is then turned off, causing the inductor current to lift the SW pin and turn on an external Schottky diode connected to the output. Inductor current flows via the Schottky diode charging the output capacitor. The switch is turned on again at the next reset cycle of the internal oscillator. During normal operation, the VC voltage controls the peak switch current limit and, hence, the inductor current available to the output LEDs. Dimming of the LEDs is accomplished by either PWM dimming or analog dimming. PWM dimming is achieved by pulsing the LED current using the PWM pin. For constant color LED dimming, the LT3599 provides up to a 3000:1 wide PWM dimming range by allowing the duty cycle of the PWM pin to be reduced from 100% to as low as 0.033%. 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 state of the VC pin is maintained on the external compensation capacitor. This feature reduces transient recovery time. When the PWM input again transitions high, the peak switch current returns to the correct value. In applications where the user can sacrifice OPENLED, SHORTLED fault flag diagnostics, the dimming ratios can be as high as 3000:1. Analog dimming of LED currents is accomplished by varying the level of CTRL pin voltage. This method, however, changes LED color since dimming is achieved by changing LED current. For CTRL pin voltage less than 1V, LED current is defined as: ⎛ 1330 ⎞ ILED = VCTRL • ⎜ ( Amps) ⎝ RISET ⎟ ⎠ The LT3599 uses the FB pin to provide overvoltage protection when all LED strings are open. There is an internal PMOS switch between VOUT and VO_SW that is controlled by the PWM signal. During the PWM off-period, this PMOS is turned off, allowing for higher dimming range and lower current during shutdown. A resistor divider is connected between the VO_SW pin and ground, which sets the overvoltage protection voltage. If the LED1-4 pin voltage is below 0.3V, the string is treated as an open LED string. As a result, an OPENLED flag is set. If a LED string is opened during regular operation, the output voltage will regulate to the optimum voltage for the remaining connected strings. If a short occurs between VOUT and any LED pin during operation, the LT3599 immediately turns off the shorted channel and sets a SHORTLED flag. Disabling the channel protects the LT3599 from high power thermal dissipation and ensures reliable operation. 3599f 9 LT3599 OPERATION SHORTLED and OPENLED detection are disabled during the start-up phase to avoid false flag generation. If an LED string is open during normal operation, it will no longer be used to regulate the output voltage. The output voltage will regulate itself to find the LED string with the lowest LED pin voltage. Fault detection (SHORTLED, OPENLED) is updated when the PWM pin is high and latched when the PWM pin is low. During start-up, 11μA of current charges the external soft-start capacitor. The SS pin directly limits the rate of voltage rise on the VC pin, which in turn, limits the peak switch current. Soft-start also enables switching frequency foldback to provide a clean start-up for the LT3599. Switch current limit protects the power switch and external components. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Inductor Selection Table 1 lists several inductors that work well with the LT3599, however, there are many other manufacturers and devices that can be used. Consult each manufacturer for detailed information on their entire range of parts. Ferrite core inductors should be used to obtain the best efficiency. Choose an inductor that can handle the necessary peak current without saturating. Also, ensure that the inductor has a low DCR (copper wire resistance) to minimize I2R power losses. Values between 4.7μH and 22μH will suffice for most applications. Inductor manufacturers specify the maximum current rating as the current where inductance falls by a given percentage of its nominal value. An inductor can pass a current greater than its rated value without damaging it. Consult each manufacturer to determine how the maximum inductor current is measured and how much more current the inductor can reliably conduct. Table 1.

Use only X5R or X7R dielectrics, as these materials retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other dielectrics. A 4.7μF to 10μF output capacitor is sufficient for most high output current designs. Table 2 lists some suggested manufacturers.

Table 3 lists several Schottky diodes that work well. The diode’s average current rating must exceed the application’s average output current. The diode’s maximum reverse voltage must exceed the application’s output voltage. A 2A diode is sufficient for most designs. For PWM dimming applications, be aware of the reverse leakage current of the diode. Lower leakage current will drain the output capacitor less, allowing for higher dimming range. 3599f 10 LT3599 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The companies below offer Schottky diodes with high voltage and current ratings.

Under normal operation, LED1 to LED4 pin voltages are monitored and provide feedback information to the converter for output voltage regulation given the programmed LED current. The output voltage regulation loop is activated only when all LEDs are open. Programming Maximum LED Current Maximum LED current can be programmed by placing a resistor between the ISET pin and ground (RISET). The ISET pin resistor can be selected from 11k to 44.2k. The LED current can be programmed according to the following equation: 1330 ILED ≈ ( Amps) (CTRL > 1V) RISET See Table 4 and Figure 3 for resistor values and corresponding programmed LED current. LED current can also be adjusted by programming the CTRL pin voltage. Table 4.

A resistor divider is connected between the VO_SW pin and ground (Figure 2). There is an internal PMOS switch between VOUT and VO_SW, which is controlled by the PWM signal. The PMOS switch addition prevents the feedback resistor divider from draining the output capacitor during PWM off-period, allowing for a higher dimming range without falsely tripping the OPENLED flag. It also reduces the system current in shutdown. This PMOS has about 1k resistance, so select FB resistor values taking this resistance into account. To set the maximum output voltage, select the values of R1 and R2 (see Figure 2) according to the following equation: ⎛ R2 ⎞ VOUT(MAX ) = 1 . 223V ⎜ 1 + ⎟ R1⎠ ⎝ 120 100 80 LT3599 VOUT VO_SW R2 FB R1 3599 F02 ILED (mA) 60 40 20 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 RISET (k) 3599 F03 Figure 2.

The LED brightness can be set either by analog dimming (CTRL pin voltage adjustment between 0V and 1V) or PWM dimming (PWM pin duty cycle adjustment). For some applications, the preferred method of brightness control is to use a variable DC input voltage. The CTRL pin voltage can be adjusted to set the dimming of the LED string (see Figures 4 and 5). As the voltage on the CTRL pin increases from 0V to 1V, the LED current increases from 0 to the programmed LED current level. Once the CTRL pin voltage increases beyond 1V, it has no effect on the LED current. For True Color PWM dimming, the LT3599 provides up to a 3000:1 PWM dimming range by allowing the duty 120 100 LED CURRENT (mA) 80 VREF 60 R2 40 20 0 0 0.2 0.4 0.8 1.0 0.6 CTRL PIN VOLTAGE (V) 1.2 3599 F04 3599 F05 cycle of the PWM pin to be reduced from 100% to as low as 0.033% at a PWM frequency of 100Hz (Figure 6). Dimming by PWM duty cycle, allows for constant LED color to be maintained over the entire dimming range. PROGRAMMING LED CURRENT DERATING VS TEMPERATURE Programming LED Current Derating Using the CTRL Pin A useful feature of the LT3599 is its ability to program a derating curve for maximum LED current versus temperature. LED data sheets provide curves of maximumallowable LED current versus temperature to warn against exceeding this current limit and damaging the LED. The LT3599 allows the output LEDs to be programmed for ISET = 13.3k LT3599 CTRL R1 Figure 4. LED Current vs CTRL Voltage Figure 5.

This is achieved by programming a voltage at the CTRL pin with a negative temperature coefficient using a resistor divider with temperature dependent resistance (Figure 7). As the temperature increases, the CTRL voltage will fall below the internal 1V voltage reference, causing LED currents to be controlled by the CTRL pin voltage. The LED current curve breakpoint and slope versus temperature is defined by the choice of resistor ratios and use of temperature-dependent resistance in the divider for the CTRL pin. A variety of resistor networks and NTC resistors with different temperature coefficients can be used for programming CTRL to achieve the desired CTRL curve vs temperature. Table 5 shows a list of manufacturers/distributors of NTC resistors. There are several other manufacturers available and the chosen supplier should be contacted for more detailed information. If an NTC resistor is used to indicate LED temperature, it is effective only if the resistor is connected as closely as possible to the LED strings. LED derating curves shown by manufacturers are listed for ambient temperature. The NTC resistor should have the same ambient temperature as the LEDs. Since the temperature dependency of an NTC resistor can be nonlinear over a wide range of temperatures, it is important to obtain a resistor’s exact values over temperature from the manufacturer. Hand calculations of CTRL voltage can then be performed at each given temperature, resulting in the CTRL versus temperature plotted curve. Several iterations of resistor value calculations may be required to achieve the desired breakpoint and slope of the LED current derating curve. Table 5.

Since the LT3599 topology consists of a single boost converter with four linear current sources, any LED string voltage mismatch will cause additional power to be dissipated in the package. This topology provides excellent current matching between LED strings and allows a single power stage to drive a large number of LEDs, but at the price of additional power dissipation inside the part (which means a higher junction temperature). Being able to limit the maximum junction temperature allows the benefits of this topology to be fully realized. This thermal regulation feature provides important protection at high ambient temperatures, and allows a given application to be optimized for typical, not worst-case, ambient temperatures with the assurance that the LT3599 will automatically protect itself and the LED strings under worst-case conditions. The operation of the thermal loop is simple. As the ambient temperature increases, so does the internal junction temperature of the part. Once the programmed maximum junction temperature is reached, the LT3599 begins to linearly reduce the LED current, as needed, to try and maintain this temperature. This can only be achieved when the ambient temperature stays below the desired maximum junction temperature. If the ambient temperature continues to rise past the programmed maximum junction temperature, the LEDs’ current will be reduced to approximately 5% of the full LED current. While this feature is intended to directly protect the LT3599, it can also be used to derate the LED current at high temperatures. Since there is a direct relationship between the LED temperature and LT3599 junction temperature, the TSET function also provides some LED current derating at high temperatures. VREF R2 LT3599 TSET R1 3599 F08 Two external resistors program the maximum IC junction temperature using a resistor divider from the VREF pin, as shown in Figure 8. Choose the ratio of R1 and R2 for the desired junction temperature. Table 6 shows commonly used values for R1 and R2. Table 6.

Do not leave this pin open. See Table 7 for resistor values and corresponding frequencies. Selecting the optimum switching frequency depends on several factors. Inductor size is reduced with higher frequency, but efficiency drops due to higher switching losses. In addition, some applications require very high duty cycles to drive a large number of LEDs from a low supply. Low switching frequency allows a greater operational duty cycle and, hence, a greater number of LEDs to be driven. In each case, the switching frequency can be tailored to provide the optimum solution. When programming the switching frequency, the total power losses within the IC should be considered. Table 7.

LED Current Derating vs Temperature Using the TSET Pin 14 LT3599 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Switching Frequency Synchronization The nominal operating frequency of the LT3599 is programmed using a resistor from the RT pin to ground and can be controlled over a 200kHz to 2.1MHz range. In addition, the internal oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the SYNC pin. The synchronizing clock signal input to the LT3599 must have a frequency between 240kHz and 1.5MHz, a pulse on-time of at least 150ns, a pulse off-time of at least 300ns, a low state below 0.8V and a high state above 1.7V. Synchronization signals outside of these parameters will cause erratic switching behavior. For proper operation, an RT resistor should be chosen to program a switching frequency 20% slower than the SYNC pulse frequency. Synchronization occurs at a fixed delay after the rising edge of SYNC. The SYNC pin should be grounded if the clock synchronization feature is not used. When the SYNC pin is grounded, the internal oscillator generates switching frequency to the converter. Shutdown and Programming Undervoltage Lockout The LT3599 has an accurate 1.4V shutdown threshold at the SHDN/UVLO pin. This threshold can be used in conjunction with a resistor divider from the system input supply to define an accurate undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold for the system (Figure 10). A pin current hysteresis allows programming of the hysteresis voltage for this UVLO threshold. Just before the part turns on, 4μA 10000 flows into the SHDN/UVLO pin. After the part turns on, 0μA flows from the SHDN/UVLO pin. Calculation of the on/off thresholds for a system input supply using the LT3599 SHDN/UVLO pin can be made as follows : ⎛ R1⎞ VS(OFF ) = 1 . 4 ⎜ 1 + ⎟ ⎝ R2 ⎠ VS(ON) = VS(OFF ) + (4μ A • R1) A simple open drain transistor can be added to the resistor divider network at the SHDN/UVLO pin to independently control the turn off of the LT3599. With the SHDN/UVLO pin connected directly to the VIN pin, an internal undervoltage lockout threshold of approximately 2.7V exists for the VIN pin. This prevents the converter from operating in an erratic mode when supply voltage is too low. The LT3599 provides a soft start function when recovering from such faults as SHDN < 1.4V and/or VIN < 2.7V. See “Soft-Start” in the Applications Information section for details. Soft-Start and Switching Frequency Foldback To limit inrush current and output voltage overshoot during start-up/recovery from a fault condition, the LT3599 provides a soft-start pin, SS. The SS pin is used to program switch current ramp up timing using a capacitor to ground. The LT3599 monitors system parameters for the following faults: VIN < 2.7V or SHDN < 1.4. On detection of any of these faults, the LT3599 stops switching immediately and VS LT3599 R1 11 SHDN/UVLO SWITCHING FREQUENCY (kHz) – 1.4V 1000 OFF ON R2 + 10μA 100 10 100 RT (k) 1000 3599 F11 3599 F10 Figure 9.

Programming Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) with Hysteresis 3599f 15 LT3599 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION a soft-start latch is set causing the SS pin to be discharged (see the Soft-Start Pin Timing Diagram in Figure 11). All faults are detected internally and do not require external components. When all faults no longer exist and the SS pin has been discharged to at least 0.25V, the soft-start latch is reset and an internal 11μA supply charges the SS pin. During start-up or recovery from a fault, the SS pin ramp up controls the ramp up of switch current limit. Soft-start ramp rate is given by: Δ VSS ISS = (ISS = 11μA typ) ΔT C SS A 10nF capacitor from the SS pin to ground will therefore provide a 1V/ms ramp rate on the SS pin. In addition, during soft-start, switching frequency is reduced to protect the inductor from high currents. SW tion when the PWM signal is enabled to avoid generating a spurious flag signal. During start-up (see the Operation section), the open LED detection is disabled. SHORTLED FLAG The SHORTLED pin is an open-collector output, and needs an external resistor tied to a supply (see Figure 12). If any LED pin is shorted to VOUT during normal operation, the SHORTLED pin will be pulled down. In addition, the shorted LED string (channel) is immediately disabled, thereby protecting the LT3599. The short LED detection is enabled only when the PWM signal is enabled. There is a delay for SHORTLED flag generation when the PWM signal is enabled to avoid spurious signal being generated. During start-up, the SHORTLED flag is disabled (see the Operation section).

If any LED string is open during normal operation, the OPENLED pin will be pulled down. The open LED detection is enabled only when the PWM signal is enabled. There is a delay for OPENLED flag generaThe LT3599 has an internal transconductance error amplifier for LED current regulation whose VC output compensates the control loop. During overvoltage, the VC node also 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 3599f 16 LT3599 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION at VC are selected to optimize control loop stability. For typical LED applications, a 10nF compensation capacitor in series with a 2k resistor at VC is adequate. Thermal Consideration The LT3599 provides four channels for LED strings with internal NPN devices serving as constant-current sources. When LED strings are regulated, the lowest LED pin voltage is 0.7V. The higher the programmed LED current, the more power dissipation in the LT3599. For 100mA LED programming current with a 100% PWM dimming ratio, at least 280mW is dissipated within the IC due to current sources. Thermal calculations shall include the power dissipation on current sources in addition to conventional switch DC loss, switch AC loss and input quiescent loss. For best efficiency, it is recommended that all channels have the same number of LEDs, and each string has a similar voltage drop across the LEDs. Board Layout Considerations As with all switching regulators, careful attention must be paid to the PCB board layout and component placement. To prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems, proper layout of high frequency switching paths is essential. Minimize the length and area of all traces connected to the switching node pin (SW). Always use a ground plane under the switching regulator to minimize interplane coupling. Good grounding is essential in LED fault detection. Recommended component placement is shown in Figure 13.
