DEMO MANUAL DC1784A
LT3797EUKG
Triple LED Boost Controller
Description
DC1784A is a triple boost LED driver featuring the LT3797
triple boost LED controller. It accepts an input voltage
from 2.5V to 40V (with higher transient) and drives three
independent strings of up to 50V LEDs at 1A. DC1784A
features independent PWM and analog dimming of each
of the three LED strings. Each of the three channels has
its own short-circuit protection, open LED protection, and
FAULT flag output.
Each or every channel can be altered to run as a different
topology such as buck-boost mode, buck mode, or SEPIC
depending upon the relationship between input and output
voltage. Although the boost is set up to power 50V of LEDs
at 1A, the maximum LED string voltage can be changed
to almost 100V and the LED current can be adjusted by
merely changing a few resistors and external components.
DC1784A features high efficiency at 310kHz switching
frequency. At high LED string voltages up to 50V and 1A
of LED current, the triple LED boost controller has 93.5%
efficiency. The switching frequency can be adjusted between 100kHz and 1MHz with a single resistor. All three
channels run in-phase with each other and an external
SYNC pin can be used to set the switching frequency and
phasing, as well as to optimize PWM dimming.
For low input voltage operation, down to 2.5V, the CTRL
pin voltage is reduced as the input voltage drops below
10.5V, reducing LED brightness and restraining the peak
switch currents in order to limit thermal rise on this PCB.
The LT3797 has a unique, internal buck-boost INTVCC
supply that powers the gate drivers at 7.8V, regardless
of the state of the input voltage, rather than using an LDO
from the input. UVLO turns the LEDs off when VIN drops
below 2.5V. Internal OVLO turns off the switching when
the input exceeds 41V, but OVLO can be programmed
externally to a lower voltage if desired. The LT3797 can
withstand transients up to 60V. DC1784A can withstand
transients up to 50V with C3 > 50V rating.
Small ceramic input and output capacitors are used to save
space and cost. The open LED overvoltage protection uses
the IC’s constant voltage regulation loop to regulate the
output to approximately 55V if the LED string is opened
although it may reach 59V peak during transient from
running LEDs to open. The unique FBH (feedback high)
pins allow the overvoltage protection of non-grounded
LED driver topologies such as buck-boost mode and buck
mode to be accomplished with just two resistors.
Modifications can be made to DC1784A in order to convert
the independent channels to higher or lower power or from
LED drivers to constant voltage regulators. They can easily
be changed from boost topology to SEPIC, buck mode, or
buck-boost mode LED drivers. Please consult the factory
or the LT3797 data sheet for details.
The LT3797 data sheet gives a complete description of
the device, operation and applications information. The
data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo
manual for DC1784A. The LT3797EUKG is assembled in
a 52-lead (7mm × 8mm) plastic QFN UKG package with
a thermally enhanced ground pad. Proper board layout
is essential for maximum thermal performance. See the
data sheet section ‘Layout Considerations’.

Quick Start Procedure
DC1784A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of
the LT3797EUKG. Follow the procedure below:
1. Connect three strings of LEDs that will run with forward
voltage less than 50V (at 1A), but greater than PVIN,
to the LED+ and GND terminals on the PCB as shown
in Figure 1.
2. Connect the EN/UVLO terminal to GND.
3. With power off, connect the input power supply to the
PVIN and GND terminals. Make sure that the PVIN DC
input voltage does not exceed 40V (or VLED).
4. Turn the input power supply on and make sure the
voltage is between 2.5V and 40V (or VLED).
2
5. Connect the PWM1-3 input terminals to INTVCC or VREF
to enable 100% brightness control when EN/UVLO is
released.
6. Release the EN/UVLO-to-GND connection.
7. Observe the LED strings running at the programmed
LED current.
8. To change the brightness with analog dimming, simply attach a voltage source on any or all of the CTRL
terminals and set the voltage(s) between 0V and 1.5V.
See data sheet for details.
9. To change brightness with PWM dimming, remove the
connection from PWM1-3 to INTVCC or VREF and attach
a 3.3V to 5V rectangular waveform with varying duty
cycle.

DEMO MANUAL DC1784A
DEmo circuit Options
DC1784A can be adjusted for higher output voltage, different LED current, or different topology. The following
options are for simple changes to the demonstration
circuit. The data sheet gives more information regarding
designing with the LT3797. For more information, see
the data sheet for details or contact Linear Technology
technical support.
Maximum LED Voltage
DC1784A is set for 55V of overvoltage protection and the
maximum LED string voltage used on the standard build
should be 50V. However, the output can go up to 100V,
so OVP can be set at about 93V for maximum LED voltage
and the maximum LED string voltage is therefore about
87V. The limits are based upon open LED overshoot and
voltage and current regulation regions. If changes are
made in the FB resistors for higher voltage, the MOSFET
and catch diode should be switched out for higher voltage
devices. See the LT3797 data sheet for details.
Current or Voltage Regulation
The LT3797 can be used for constant current or voltage
regulation. If the load placed on the LED+ to GND terminals
allows VOUT to climb high enough for VISP-FBH = 1.2V, then
the voltage regulation loop of the converter takes over. In
this case, the compensation for a given channel should be
adjusted for proper use as a constant voltage regulator.
The IC can be used as a boost or SEPIC constant voltage
regulator. Output voltage can be almost as high as 100V
when used as a constant voltage regulator.
LED Current and Switch Current
A change in LED current or input voltage may lead to higher
or lower maximum switch current. R11, R12, R13 can be
changed to alter the maximum switch current for different
applications. 100mV/RSENSE = peak switch current.
Overvoltage Protection
Overvoltage protection is set with resistor pairs R8 & R14,
R9 & R15, R10 & R16. The high side feedback method
allows simple changes for different topologies.
For buck mode and buck-boost mode, see the data sheet
for details how to set the feedback resistors. Note that
R35, R36, R37 are provided as optional placeholders on
the demo circuit for simple feedback resistor changes for
these topologies.
BOOST, BUCK MODE, BUCK-BOOST MODE, SEPIC
Any channel of the DC1784A can be changed to a different topology than boost. A few simple changes including
feedback overvoltage protection feedback resistors, output resistor, components, and connection to input can
be made. Please consult the LT3797 data sheet and the
factory for details.
Undervoltage and Overvoltage Lockout
UVLO can be adjusted by changing the values of R26
and R27.
The LT3797 has an internal 41V OVLO that protects the IC
from switching at high input voltage transients. However,
an additional OVLO pin can be used to set a lower OVLO
using resistors R28, R31, and/or R46.
LED current on DC1784A is set for 1A with 0.25Ω resistors R2, R3, R4. For a different maximum LED current,
change this resistor:
250mV/RLED = ILED.
