Eight Independent 17V 330mΩ NMOS Switches
TheLT®3965/LT3965-1isanLEDbypassswitchingdevice
for dimming individual LEDs in a string using a common
current source. It features eight individually controlled
floating source 17V/330mΩ NMOS switches. The eight
switches can be connected in parallel and/or in series to
bypass current around one or more LEDs in a string. The
LT3965 is initialized with all switches off (LEDs on), and
the LT3965-1 is initialized with all switches on (LEDs off)

The LT3965/LT3965-1 uses the I C serial interface to
communicate with the microcontroller. Each of the eight
channels can be independently programmed to bypass
the LED string in constant on or off, or PWM dimming
with or without fade transition. Using the fade option
provides 11-bit resolution logarithmic transition between
PWM dimming states. The LT3965/LT3965-1 provides
an internal clock generator and also supports external
clock source for PWM dimming. The LT3965/LT3965-1
reports fault conditions for each channel such as open
LED and shorted LED. The four address select pins allow
