LM3424-Q1
SNVSB96 –JULY 2019
LM3424-Q1 Constant Current N-channel Controller
with Thermal Foldback For Driving LEDs
1 Features
3 Description
The LM3424-Q1 is a versatile high voltage N-channel
MOSFET controller for LED drivers. It can be easily
configured in buck, boost, buck-boost and SEPIC
topologies. In addition, the LM3424-Q1 includes a

management of the LEDs. This flexibility, along with
an input voltage rating of 75 V, makes the LM3424-
Q1 ideal for illuminating LEDs in a large family of
applications.
High-side adjustable current sense
2-Ω, 1-A peak MOSFET gate driver
Input undervoltage and output overvoltage
protection
Adjustable high-side current sense allows for tight
regulation of the LED current with the highest
efficiency possible. The LM3424-Q1 uses standard
peak current-mode control providing inherent input
voltage feed-forward compensation for better noise
immunity. It is designed to provide accurate thermal
foldback with a programmable foldback breakpoint
and slope. In addition, a 2.45V reference is provided.

The LM3424-Q1 includes a high-voltage startup
regulator that operates over a wide input range of 4.5
V to 75 V. The internal PWM controller is designed
for adjustable switching frequencies of up to 2.0 MHz
and external synchronization is possible. The
controller is capable of high speed PWM dimming
and analog dimming.
