The LT3796 is a DC/DC controller designed to regulate a constant-current or constant-voltage and is ideal for driving LEDs. It drives a low side external N-channel power MOSFET from an internal regulated 7.7V supply. 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 protection features, and also allow the converter to operate as a constant-voltage source.

The LT3796 features a programmable threshold output sense amplifier with rail-to-rail common mode range. The LT3796 also includes a separate high side current sensing amplifier that is gain configurable with two resistors. The TG pin inverts and level shifts the PWM signal to drive the gate of the external PMOS. The PWM input provides LED dimming ratios of up to 3000:1, and the CTRL input provides additional analog dimming capability.

评估板DC1706A

DC1706A is a 100V LED controller with an input current monitor. It is a single switch boost LED driver with LED+ to GND short circuit protection. It accepts an input voltage from 8V to 100V (7.5V UVLO and 8.7V turn-on), and drives up to 85V of LEDs at 400mA (when PVIN is less than VLED). DC1706A features both PWM and analog dimming of the LED string. It has a VMODE flag that indicates when the LED string has been removed and it has a FAULT flag that indicates that the output has been shorted to GND. In both cases, the IC remains in control and well protected.

DC1706A features high efficiency at 300kHz switching frequency. At high LED string voltages up to 85V and 400mA of LED current, the single switch controller has 93% efficiency. There are input current (CSOUT) and output current (ISMON) monitor pins that deliver a voltage proportional to the current for quick diagnostics.

Small ceramic input and output capacitors are used to save space and cost. The open LED overvoltage protection uses the IC’s constant voltage regulation loop to regulate the output to approximately 92.5V if the LED string is opened although it may reach 96.5V peak during transient from running LEDs to open.

For low input voltage operation, the CTRL pin voltage is reduced as the input voltage drops below 9V, reducing LED brightness and restraining the peak switch currents in order to limit inductor and switch size. UVLO turns the LEDs off when VIN drops below 7.5V. L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners  DC1706A PWM dimming is simple. The topside PWM dimming MOSFET (M2) turns the LED string on and off with an input to the PWM dimming terminal. For the highest PWM dimming ratio, it is recommended to use 100Hz as a PWM dimming frequency. Information regarding PWM dimming ratios and performance can be found in
the LT3796 data sheet in the applications section. Analog dimming is also simple to use with a single voltage source on the CTRL terminal.

Modifications can be made to DC1706A in order to convert the board to higher or lower power or from an LED driver to a constant voltage regulator or battery charger. It can easily be changed from a boost topology to a SEPIC, buck mode, or buck-boost mode LED driver. Please consult the factory or refer to the LT3796 data sheet for details.

The LT3796 data sheet gives a complete description of the part, operation and applications information. The data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual for DC1706A. The LT3796 is assembled in a 28-lead plastic TSSOP FE package with a thermally enhanced ground pad. Proper board layout is essential for maximum thermal performance. See the data sheet section Layout Considerations.
