DEMO MANUAL DC2013A
LT3952EFE
60V LED Driver
with Internal 4A Switch
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration Circuit DC2013A is a 60V LED driver with
internal 4A switch featuring the LT®3952 monolithic LED
driver. It accepts an input voltage from 5V to 36V (with
transient to 42V) and boosts to a single string of LEDs up
to 50V LEDs at 330mA. DC2013A features an integrated
4A switch, constant-current and constant-voltage output
control as well as input current limit and monitoring.
The LT3952 has a wide input voltage range down to 3V
and up to 42V. It has adjustable switching frequency
between 200kHz and 3MHz. It has an option for external
frequency synchronization or spread spectrum frequency
modulation. It has high PWM dimming capability from an
external signal and can be PWM dimmed with an internally
generated PWM oscillator and analog input signal. It can
be analog dimmed with a control voltage on its control
pin. LT3952 features both Open-LED and Short-LED (LED+
to GND) protection as well as fault output flags for each.
Although DC2013A is assembled as a boost LED driver,
it can be altered to be run as a buck mode, buck-boost
mode or boost-buck LED driver.
There is another demonstration circuit featuring LT3952
at 2.0MHz (DC2361A).
DC2013A features an option to turn on spread spectrum
by simply changing the position of a jumper from NO
SPREAD to SPREAD or to EXTERNAL SYNC.
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. There is a protection diode from
LED+ to GND to prevent negative ringing during a shortcircuit with long wires.
There is undervoltage and overvoltage lockout that can be
adjusted on the circuit with a few simple resistor choices.
There is an EMI filter on the input of DC2013A. This EMI
filter has both an LC stage to reduce EMI below 20MHz
and a ferrite bead to reduce higher frequency EMI. The
PCB layout contains a small hot-loop for minimized high
frequency EMI. The EMI filter can be used by connecting
to the “EMI VIN” terminal. However, if the EMI filter is not
needed, the input connection can be directly to the PVIN
terminal. If the EMI filter is not used, it is recommended
to remove the EMI filter if EMI measurements are being
made from the PVIN terminal for base EMI testing. It can
be replaced for EMI testing at the EMI VIN terminal.
The LT3952 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 Demonstration Circuit 2013A. The LT3952EFE is assembled in a 28-lead 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
Demonstration Circuit 2013A is easy to set up to evaluate the
performance of the LT3952. Follow the procedure below:
1.Connect a string of LEDs that will run with forward voltage less than or equal to 50V (at 330mA), 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
EMI VIN (or PVIN) and GND terminals. Make sure that
the DC input voltage will not exceed 42V (or VLED).
4.Turn the input power supply on and make sure the voltage
is between 5V and 36V (or VLED) for proper operation.
5.Release the EN/UVLO-to-GND connection.
6.Observe the LED strings running at the programmed
LED current.
7.To change the brightness with analog dimming, simply
attach a voltage source to the CTRL terminal and set the
voltage between 0V and 1.5V. See data sheet for details.
8.To change brightness with external PWM dimming,
attach a 3V rectangular waveform with varying duty
cycle to the PWM terminal.
9.To enable spread spectrum frequency modulation,
simply change the position of the shunt on the SYNC/
SPRD jumper to the SPREAD SPECTRUM position.

DEMO CIRCUIT OPTIONS
Demonstration Circuit 2013A can be adjusted for higher
or lower 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 LT3952. For
more information, see the data sheet for details or contact
Linear Tech customer support.
MAXIMUM LED VOLTAGE
DC2013A is set for 54.3V of overvoltage protection and
the maximum LED string voltage used on the standard
build should be 50V. Some margin is provided to limit
the Open-LED overshoot above 55V in order to stay safely
below the 60V limit. See data sheet for details.
CURRENT OR VOLTAGE REGULATION
The LT3952 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 V(ISP-ISN) = 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 should remain below 60V when
used as a constant-voltage device.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
LED CURRENT
LED current on DC2013A is set for 330mA with 0.75Ω
resistor R1. For a different maximum LED current, change
this resistor. 250mV/RLED = ILED.
boost-buck see data sheet for details how to set the feedback
resistors. Note that R19, R20, R21, and Q1 are provided as
optional placeholders on the demonstration circuit for simple
feedback resistor changes for these topologies.
A change in LED current or input voltage may lead to higher
or lower maximum switch current. The maximum switch
current for this converter is 4A and is fixed internally.
UNDERVOLTAGE AND OVERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
Resistors R13, R14, and R15 are available for setting
UVLO and OVLO separately or for referring them to OUT
for other topologies.
Overvoltage protection is set with the resistor pair R4 and R5
for the boost topology. For buck mode, buck-boost mode, and
UVLO and OVLO can be adjusted by changing the values
of R7, R8 and R9.
