DescripTion
The LT®3760 is an 8-channel LED driver with a step-up
DC/DC controller capable of driving up to 45V of LEDs.
Each channel contains an accurate current sink with ±±2
currentmatching.Channelsfollowamasterprogrammable
current to allow between ±0mA to 100mA of LED current
per string. Channels can be paralleled for higher LED
