IS31LT3505
Constant Current, Step-Up LED Driver Evaluation Board Guide
Description
Quick Start
IS31LT3505 is a constant current boost converter with
an internal NMOS. The device topology allows for
series type connections of white LEDs, with identical
output currents for each channel. This allows for
consistent, uniform lighting output and it also ensures
that any linked system components receive their
respective voltage source(s). The LED current can be
adjusted by tuning an external resistor. Dimming of the
panel is achieved through Pulse-width-modulation
(PWM) or through a DC voltage signal. The driver
features a 1MHz switching frequency. Feedback
voltage is set at 0.3V to minimize power drain. Safety
features of the device include Over-voltage Protection,
Over-temperature Protection, and Open-circuit LED
protection. This ensures that the chip will maintain a
maximum level of reliability for the overall system,
even under abnormal situations such as when no load
is present. IS31LT3505 may be used in a versatile
array of general lighting applications.

Device Operation
Component Selection
The component selection is very important. They have a significant effect on the operating state of the demo board. The
output capacitor must be a low ESR capacitor so as to minimize it’s affect on the line regulation and load regulation.
Please read the datasheet carefully to get more information about the component selection.
LED Current Control
The IS31LT3505 regulates the LED current by setting the external resistor connecting to feedback and ground. The
internal feedback reference voltage is 0.3V (Typical) The LED current can be set from the Formula (1) easily.
ILED = VFB/RSET
Where: RSET=R8//R9
In order to have an accurate LED current, precision resistors must be used (1% is recommended).
PCB layout consideration
As for all switching power supplies, especially those providing high current and using high switching frequencies, layout
is an important design step. If layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show instability as well as EMI problems.
 Wide traces should be used for connection of the high current loop.
 When laying out signal ground (pin 5), it is recommended to use the traces separate from power ground (pin1)
traces and connect them together at the input capacitor negative terminal or the large ground plane that will
avoid the signal ground shift. Pin 3 GND must be connected to signal ground(pin 5). Both of signal and power
ground should be as wide as possible. Other components ground must be connected to signal ground.
Especially the RSET ground to signal ground (pin 5) connection should be as short as possible to have an
accurate LED current.
 The capacitor CVDD and CVP should be placed as close as possible to VDD and VP pin for good filtering.
 LX pin is a fast switching node. The inductor and diode should be placed as close as possible to the switch pin
and the connection between this pin to the inductor and the schottky diode should be kept as short and wide as
possible. Avoid other traces cross and routing too long in parallel with this node to minimum the noise coupling
into these traces.
 The feedback network (FB, OVP) should be as short as possible and routed away from the inductor, the
schottky diode and LX pin. The feedback pin and feedback network should be shielded with a ground plane or
trace to minimize noise coupling into this circuit.
 The thermal pad on the back of package must be soldered to the large ground plane for ideal power dissipation.
