Analog Devices LTC3761A

Description

The LT®3761A is a DC/DC controller designed to operate asa constant-current source and constant-voltage regulator.It features a programmable internal PWM dimming signal.The LT3761A is ideally suited for driving high current LEDs,but also has features to make it suitable for charging batteriesand supercapacitors. The fixed frequency, currentmode architecture results in stable operation over a widerange of supply and output voltages. A voltage feedbackpin serves as the input for several LED protection features,and also makes it possible for the converter to operateas a constant-voltage source. A frequency adjust pinallows the user to program the frequency from 100kHzto 1MHz to optimize efficiency, performance or externalcomponent size.
