PIN FUNCTIONS
R
Connect a resistor from R
the Typical Performance Characteristics for resistor values
that result in desired oscillator frequencies.
BRIGHT (Pin 2): Used to program a 10:1 dimming ratio
for the LED current. Drive this pin above 1.4V to command
maximum intensity or below 0.3V to command minimum
intensity. This pin can be PWMed at 150Hz for brightness
control between the 1x and 10x current levels.
SHDN (Pin 3): Used to shutdown the switching regulator
and the internal bias circuits. This pin can be PWMed at
150Hz for brightness control.
V
cuitry and to the internal power switches. Must be locally
bypassed. For automotive applications, a pi network with a
cap from V
V
end of the inductor to GND is recommended.
DA (Pin 5): Allows the external catch diode current to be
sensed to prevent current runaway, such as when V
high and the duty cycle is very low. Connect this pin to
the anode of the external catch Schottky diode.
SW (Pin 6): The SW pin is the output of the internal power
switch. Connect this pin to the inductor and the cathode
of the switching diode.
BOOST (Pin 7): Provides a drive voltage, higher than the
input voltage to the internal bipolar NPN power switch.
BOOST will normally be tied to the SW pin through a 0.1μF
T
IN
IN
(Pin 1): Programs the frequency of the internal oscillator.
(Pin 4): Supplies current to the LT3592’s internal cir-
and the power source, and another cap from the far
IN
to GND, a series inductor connected between
T
to ground. Refer to Table 1 or
IN
is
capacitor. An internal Schottky is provided for the boost
function and an external diode is not needed. An external
Schottky diode should be connected between BOOST and
CAP for single LED applications or whenever a higher
BOOST voltage is desired.
CAP (Pin 8): Output of the step-down converter and also
an input to the LED current sense amplifi er. Connect the
fi lter capacitor, inductor, and the top of the external LED
current sense resistor to this pin.
OUT (Pin 9): Drives the LED or LEDs and is the other
input to the LED current sense amplifi er. Connect this pin
to the anode of the top LED in the string, the bottom of
the external LED current sense resistor, and the top of the
V
V
control loop. Tie this node to a resistor divider between OUT
and GND to set the maximum output voltage of the step-
down converter according to the following formula:
where R1 connects between OUT and V
between V
Exposed Pad (Pin 11): Ground. The underside exposed
pad metal of the package provides both electrical contact
to ground and good thermal contact to the printed circuit
board. The device must be soldered to the circuit board
for proper operation.
