SGM3766
38V High Efficiency, Boost White
LED Driver with PWM Dimming Control
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The SGM3766 is a high efficiency white LED driver with
a 1.2MHz boost converter. With the fixed switching
frequency and an internal 40V/2.75A switch FET, the
SGM3766 is designed for powering single or parallel
LED strings for various size panel backlighting.
● Input Voltage Range: 2.7V to 5.5V
● Integrated 40V/2.75A Switch
● Up to 90% Efficiency
● Switching Frequency: 1.2MHz
● Feedback Voltage: 200mV
The SGM3766 is capable of driving 10 white LEDs in
series. The FB feedback voltage is regulated at 200mV
typically. The default LED current is programmed by an
external RSET resistor. During the operation, the LED
current can be controlled by applying a PWM signal to
the CTRL pin. The feedback voltage depends on the
PWM signal duty cycle. For PWM dimming control,
there are no audible noises on the output capacitor.
● PWM Dimming Control
● 38V LED Open Protection for 10 LEDs
● Automatic Soft-Start for Reducing Inrush Current
● 1:500 Stable Luminance Dimming
● Low EMI by Conducting Ringing Cancelling
● Improved PSRR for Waveless Lighting
● Protection Features
Over-Voltage Protection
The SGM3766 integrates LED open protection. It
prevents the device from damaging due to the over-
voltage during LED open conditions.
Under-Voltage Lockout Protection
Thermal Shutdown
• -40℃ to +85℃ Operating Temperature Range
• Available in a Green TSOT-23-5 Package
The SGM3766 is available in a Green TSOT-23-5
package. It operates over an ambient temperature
range of -40℃ to +85℃.
