DEMO MANUAL DC1706A
LT3796
100V LED Controller with
Current Monitor
DESCRIPTION
DC1706A is a 100V LED controller with an input current
monitor. It is a single switch boost LED driver with LED+
to GND short circuit protection. It accepts an input voltage from 8V to 100V (7.5V UVLO and 8.7V turn-on), and
drives up to 85V of LEDs at 400mA (when PVIN is less than
VLED). DC1706A features both PWM and analog dimming
of the LED string. It has a VMODE flag that indicates when
the LED string has been removed and it has a FAULT flag
that indicates that the output has been shorted to GND. In
both cases, the IC remains in control and well protected.
DC1706A features high efficiency at 300kHz switching
frequency. At high LED string voltages up to 85V and
400mA of LED current, the single switch controller has
93% efficiency. There are input current (CSOUT) and output current (ISMON) monitor pins that deliver a voltage
proportional to the current for quick diagnostics.
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 92.5V if the LED string is opened
although it may reach 96.5V peak during transient from
running LEDs to open.
For low input voltage operation, the CTRL pin voltage is
reduced as the input voltage drops below 9V, reducing
LED brightness and restraining the peak switch currents
in order to limit inductor and switch size. UVLO turns the
LEDs off when VIN drops below 7.5V.
DC1706A PWM dimming is simple. The topside PWM
dimming MOSFET (M2) turns the LED string on and off
with an input to the PWM dimming terminal. For the highest PWM dimming ratio, it is recommended to use 100Hz
as a PWM dimming frequency. Information regarding
PWM dimming ratios and performance can be found in
the LT3796 data sheet in the applications section. Analog
dimming is also simple to use with a single voltage source
on the CTRL terminal.
Modifications can be made to DC1706A in order to convert
the board to higher or lower power or from an LED driver
to a constant voltage regulator or battery charger. It can
easily be changed from a boost topology to a SEPIC, buck
mode, or buck-boost mode LED driver. Please consult the
factory or refer to the LT3796 data sheet for details.
The LT3796 data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, operation and applications information. The
data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo
manual for DC1706A. The LT3796 is assembled in a 28lead plastic TSSOP FE 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
DC1706A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of
the LT3796. Follow the procedure below:
5. Turn the input power supply on and make sure the
voltage is between 8V and VLED.
NOTE: PWM must be pulled high to run. If PWM is not
used, connect PWM to a 3.3V or 5V source or to VREF on
the PCB using 0Ω resistor R24.
6. Release the EN/UVLO-to-GND connection.
1. Connect a string of LEDs that will run with forward voltage less than 85V, but greater than PVIN, to the LED+
and GND terminals on the PCB as shown in Figure 1.
8. Observe the CSOUT and ISMON input and output current monitor voltages.
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 will not exceed 100V (or VLED).
4. Connect the PWM terminal. If PWM is not used, connect
PWM to a 3.3V or 5V source or to VREF on the PCB using 0Ω resistor R24. PWM must be pulled high to run.
7. Observe the LED string running at the programmed
LED current.
9. For PWM dimming, connect a PWM (100Hz or higher is
recommended) signal to the PWM terminal. For analog
dimming, connect a DC voltage between 0V and 2V to
the CTRL terminal.
10. Observe the reduction of brightness in the LED string
when PWM or analog dimming.
