3 Description

The LM3492/-Q1 integrates a boost converter and a

two-channel current regulator to implement a high

efficient and cost effective LED driver for driving two

individually dimmable LED strings with a maximum

power of 15 W and an output voltage of up to 65 V.

The boost converter employs a proprietary Projected-

On-Time control method to give a fast transient

response with no compensation required, and a

nearly constant switching frequency programmable

from 200 kHz to 1 MHz. The application circuit is

stable with ceramic capacitors and produces no

audible noise on dimming. The programmable peak

current limit and soft-start features reduce current

surges at start-up, and an integrated 190 mΩ, 3.9-A

N-Channel MOSFET switch minimizes the solution

size.
