FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
The LT®3465/LT3465A are step-up DC/DC converters
designed to drive up to six LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell.
Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED
currents and eliminates the need for ballast resistors.
These devices integrate the Schottky diode required externally on competing devices. Additional features include
output voltage limiting when LEDs are disconnected, onepin shutdown and dimming control. The LT3465 has
internal soft-start.

The LT3465 switches at 1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny
external components. The faster LT3465A switches at
2.4MHz. Constant frequency switching results in low input
noise and a small output capacitor. Just 0.22µF is required
for 3-, 4- or 5-LED applications.

Operation
Minimum Output Current
The LT3465 uses a constant frequency, current mode
control scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation. Operation can be best understood by referring to the
block diagram in Figure 2. At the start of each oscillator
cycle, the SR latch is set, which turns on the power switch
Q1. A voltage proportional to the switch current is added
to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the
positive terminal of the PWM comparator A2. When this
voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2, the
SR latch is reset turning off the power switch. The level at
the negative input of A2 is set by the error amplifier A1,
and is simply an amplified version of the difference
between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage of
200mV. In this manner, the error amplifier sets the
correct peak current level to keep the output in regulation.
If the error amplifier’s output increases, more current is
delivered to the output; if it decreases, less current is
delivered. The CTRL pin voltage is used to adjust the
reference voltage. The block diagram for the LT3465A (not
shown) is identical except that the oscillator frequency
is 2.4MHz.
The LT3465 can drive a 3-LED string at 1.5mA LED
current without pulse skipping. As current is further
reduced, the device will begin skipping pulses. This will
result in some low frequency ripple, although the LED
current remains regulated on an average basis down to
zero. The photo in Figure 3a details circuit operation
driving three white LEDs at a 1.5mA load. Peak inductor
current is less than 40mA and the regulator operates in
discontinuous mode, meaning the inductor current
reaches zero during the discharge phase. After the inductor current reaches zero, the SW pin exhibits ringing due
to the LC tank circuit formed by the inductor in combination with switch and diode capacitance. This ringing is
not harmful; far less spectral energy is contained in the
ringing than in the switch transitions. The ringing can be
damped by application of a 300Ω resistor across the
inductor, although this will degrade efficiency. Because
of the higher switching frequency, the LT3465A can drive
a 3-LED string at 0.2mA LED current without pulse

Inductor Selection
A 22µH inductor is recommended for most LT3465 applications. Although small size and high efficiency are major
concerns, the inductor should have low core losses at
1.2MHz and low DCR (copper wire resistance). Some
inductors in this category with small size are listed in
Table 1. The efficiency comparison of different inductors
is shown in Figure 4a. A 22µH or 10µH inductor is recommended for most LT3465A applications. The inductor
should have low core losses at 2.4MHz and low DCR. The
efficiency comparison of different inductors is shown in
figure 4b.

Capacitor Selection
The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them ideal for
LT3465 and LT3465A applications. X5R and X7R types are
recommended because they retain their capacitance over
wider voltage and temperature ranges than other types
such as Y5V or Z5U. A 1µF input capacitor and a 0.22µF
output capacitor are sufficient for most LT3465 and
LT3465A applications.

The LT3465 and LT3465A have a built-in Schottky diode.
When supply voltage is applied to the VIN pin, the voltage
difference between VIN and VOUT generates inrush current
flowing from input through the inductor and the Schottky
diode to charge the output capacitor to VIN. The maximum
current the Schottky diode in the LT3465 and LT3465A
can sustain is 1A. The selection of inductor and capacitor
value should ensure the peak of the inrush current to be
below 1A. The peak inrush current can be calculated

The CTRL pin controls the feedback reference voltage as
shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics. For
CTRL higher than 1.8V, the feedback reference is 200mV,
which results in full LED current. CTRL pin can be used as
dimming control when CTRL voltage is between 200mV to
1.5V. In order to have accurate LED current, precision
resistors are preferred (1% is recommended). The formula and table for RFB selection are shown below.

percent duty cycle sets the LED current to zero, while
100% duty cycle sets it to full current. Average LED
current increases proportionally with the duty cycle of the
PWM signal. With the PWM signal at the CTRL pin to turn
the LT3465A on and off, the output capacitor is charged
and discharged accordingly. This capacitor charging/
discharging affects the waveform at the FB pin. For low
PWM frequencies the output capacitor charging/discharging time is a very small portion in a PWM period. The
average FB voltage increases linearly with the PWM duty
cycle. As the PWM frequency increases, the capacitor
charging/discharging has a larger effect on the linearity of
the PWM control. Waveforms for a 1kHz and 10kHz PWM
CTRL signals are shown in Figures 7a and 7b respectively.
The capacitor charging/discharging has a larger effect on
the FB waveform in the 10kHz case than that in the 1kHz
lower than the frequency of the PWM signal. R1 needs to
be much smaller than the internal impedance in the CTRL
pin, which is 50kΩ. A 5k resistor is suggested.

case. The Average FB Voltage vs PWM Duty Cycle curves
of different PWM frequencies with different output capacitors are shown in Figures 7c and 7d respectively. For
PWM frequency lower than 1kHz, the curves are almost
linear. For PWM frequency higher than 10kHz, the curves
show strong nonlinearity. Since the cause of the
nonlinearity is the output capacitor charging/discharging, the output capacitance and output voltage also affect

the nonlinearity in the high PWM frequencies. Because
smaller capacitance corresponds to shorter capacitor
charging/discharging time, the smaller output capacitance has better linearity as shown in Figures 7c and 7d.
Figures 7e and 7f show the output voltage’s effect to the
curves. The PWM signal should be at least 1.8V in
magnitude; lower voltage will lower the feedback voltage
as shown in Equation 1.

Open-Circuit Protection
The LT3465 and LT3465A have an internal open-circuit
protection circuit. In the cases of output open circuit,
when the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit or the
LEDs fail, the VOUT is clamped at 30V. The LT3465 and
LT3465A will then switch at a very low frequency to
minimize the input current. VOUT and input current during
output open circuit are shown in the Typical Performance
Characteristics.
Board Layout Consideration
As with all switching regulators, careful attention must be
paid to the PCB board layout and component placement.
To maximize efficiency, switch rise and fall times are
made as short as possible. To prevent electromagnetic
interference (EMI) problems, proper layout of the high
frequency switching path is essential. Place COUT next to
the VOUT and GND pins. Always use a ground plane under
the switching regulator to minimize interplane coupling.
In addition, the ground connection for the feedback
resistor R1 should be tied directly to the GND pin and not
shared with any other component, ensuring a clean, noisefree connection. Recommended component placement is
shown in Figure 8.
Start-Up Input Current (LT3465A)
As previously mentioned, the LT3465A does not have an
internal soft-start circuit. Inrush current can therefore rise
to approximately 400mA as shown in Figure 9 when
driving 4 LEDs. The LT3465 has an internal soft-start
circuit and is recommended if inrush current must be
minimized.
