LM3492: Two-Channel Individual Dimmable LED Driver with Boost Converter and Fast Current Regulator
The LM3492 integrates a boost converter and a two-channel current regulator to implement a high efficient and cost effective LED driver for driving two individually dimmable LED strings with a maximum power of 15W and an output voltage of up to 65V. The boost converter employs a proprietary Projected- On-Time control method to give a fast transient response with no compensation required, and a nearly constant switching frequency programmable from 200 kHz to 1 MHz.
The application circuit is stable with ceramic capacitors and produces no audible noise on dimming. The programmable peak current limit and soft-start features reduce current surges at startup, and an integrated 190 mΩ, 3.9A N-Channel MOSFET switch minimizes the solution size. The fast slew rate current regulator allows high frequency and narrow pulse width dimming signals to achieve a very high contrast ratio of 1000:1 at a dimming frequency of more than 3 kHz. The LED current is programmable from 50 mA to 200 mA by a single resistor.
To maximize the efficiency, Dynamic Headroom Control (DHC) automatically adjusts the output voltage to a minimum. DHC also facilitates a single BOM for different number of LED in a string, which is required for backlight panels of different size, thereby reducing overall development time and cost.
The LM3492 comes with a versatile COMM pin which serves as a bi-directional I/O pin interfacing with an external MCU for the following functions: power-good, over-temperature, IOUT over- and under-voltage indications, switching frequency tuning, and channel 1 disabling. Other supervisory functions of the LM3492 include precise enable, VCC under-voltage lockout, current regulator over-power protection, and thermal shutdown protection. The LM3492 is available in the thermally enhanced eTSSOP-20 package.
