LT3492IFE

LED Driver IC Overview

The LT3492IFE is a triple output DC/DC converter designed as a constant-current source for driving LEDs. It operates in buck, boost, or buck-boost modes using a fixed frequency current mode architecture. The device features an external PWM input providing up to 3000:1 dimming ratio on each channel. Each of the three channels includes a built-in gate driver for external P-channel MOSFETs and internal switches rated at 600mA and 60V. The switching frequency is adjustable from 330kHz to 2.1MHz. It supports an input voltage range of 3V to 30V and utilizes a CTRL pin for analog dimming or overtemperature protection.
