LT3799-1
Offline Isolated Flyback
LED Controller with Active PFC
FeaTures
DescripTion
TheLT®3799-1isanisolatedflybackcontrollerwithpower
factor correction specifically designed for driving LEDs.
The controller operates using critical conduction mode
allowing the use of a small transformer. Using a novel
current sensing scheme, the controller is able to deliver a
well regulated current to the secondary side without using
an opto-coupler. A strong gate driver is included to drive
an external high voltage MOSFET. Utilizing an onboard
multiplier, the LT3799-1 typically achieves power factors
of 0.97. The FAULT pin provides notification of open and
short LED conditions. The LT3799-1 offers improved line
regulation over the LT3799, but is not designed for use
with a TRIAC dimmer.

The LT3799-1 uses a micropower hysteretic start-up to
efficiently operate at offline input voltages, with a third
winding to provide power to the part. An internal LDO
provides a well regulated supply for the part’s internal
circuitry and gate driver.
