LT3797
Triple Output LED Driver
Controller
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®3797 is a triple output DC/DC controller designed
to drive three strings of LEDs. The fixed frequency, current
mode architecture results in stable operation over a wide
range of supply and output voltages. The LT3797 includes
an integrated DC/DC converter to produce a regulated 7.5V
supply for the N-channel MOSFET gate drivers of the three
channels. This high efficiency converter enables the part to
operate from a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 40V.

The LT3797 is designed so that each converter can use
the most suitable configuration to drive its LED load,
whether step-up, step-down or a combination. Two key
features enable this flexibility: first the LT3797 can sense
output current at the high side of the LED string; and
second, the voltage feedback pin, FBH, is referred to the
ISP current sensing input. The CTRL inputs provide out-
put current analog dimming capability. The TG drivers
level shift the PWM signals to drive the gates of external
LED-disconnect P-channel MOSFETs, allowing high PWM
dimming range, and providing LED overcurrent protection
and short-circuit protected boost capability.
