TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
100V Constant-Current and
Constant-Voltage Controller
with Dual Current Sense
The LT
®
3796/LT3796-1 are DC/DC controllers designed to
regulate a constant-current or constant-voltage and are
ideal for driving LEDs. The fixed frequency and current
mode architecture result in stable operation over a wide
range of supply and output voltages. Two ground referred
voltage FB pins serve as the input for several LED protec-
tion features, and also allow the converter to operate as a
constant-voltage source. The LT3796/LT3796-1 feature a
programmable threshold output current sense amplifier
with rail-to-rail common mode range. A separate high
side amplifier is gain configurable with two resistors and
can be used to regulate a second current or a voltage
in combination with one of the FB pins. The PWM input
provides LED dimming ratios of up to 3000:1.
The LT3796-1 is optimized for a second output current
regulation loop that can be enabled/disabled with a PMOS
switch, either to drive a second LED string or to extend
analog dimming range.
