DESCRIPTION
The LT
verter specifi cally designed to drive up to 12 white LEDs
(6 white LEDs in series per converter) from a Li-Ion cell. Se-
ries connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents
resulting in uniform brightness and eliminating the need
for ballast resistors and expensive factory calibration.
The two independent converters are capable of driving
asymmetric LED strings. Accurate LED dimming and
shutdown of the two LED strings can also be controlled
independently. The LT3497 features a unique high side LED
current sense that enables the part to function as a “one
wire current source;” one side of the LED string can be
returned to ground anywhere, allowing a simpler 1-wire
LED connection. Traditional LED drivers use a grounded
resistor to sense LED current, requiring a 2-wire connec-
tion to the LED string.
The 2.3MHz switching frequency allows the use of tiny
inductors and capacitors. Few external components are
needed for the dual white LED Driver: open-LED protection
and the Schottky diodes are all contained inside the 3mm
× 2mm DFN package. With such a high level of integra-
tion, the LT3497 provides a high effi ciency dual white LED
driver solution in the smallest of spaces.
