60VIN 80VOUT LED Driver
Description
Demonstration circuit 2020A is a 60VIN, 80VOUT LED driver.
It generates its own PWMOUT waveform from its internal
PWM generator for accurate PWM dimming with up to
33:1 brightness ratio. It accepts an input voltage from
5V to 60V and drives up to 67V of LEDs at 300mA (when
PVIN is less than VLED). DC2020A features both PWM and
analog dimming of the LED string. It has an OPENLED flag
that indicates when the LED string has been removed.
by the capacitance on the PWM pin (C16 gives 320Hz for
DC2020A). The PWMOUT duty cycle is determined by the
voltage on the DIM terminal. Between 0V and 7.7V VDIM
gives between 4% and 96% PWM duty cycle. Information
regarding PWM dimming ratios and performance can be
found in the LT3955 data sheet in the applications section. Analog dimming is also simple to use with a single
voltage source on the CTRL terminal.
DC2020A features high efficiency at 350kHz switching
frequency. At high LED string voltages up to 67V and
300mA of LED current, the single switch controller has
92% efficiency. The LT3955 has an internal 80V, 3.5A
switch that simplifies the schematic and layout.
Modifications can be made to DC2020A in order to convert
the board to power different LED strings 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 the LT3955 data sheet for details.
It can be modified to provide LED+ to GND short-circuit
protection as well.
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 75V if the LED string is opened
although it may reach 79V peak during transient from
running LEDs to open string.
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 5V.
DC2020A PWM dimming is simplified when compared
with other LED drivers. The LT3955 generates its own
PWMOUT dimming waveform at a frequency determined
The LT3955 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 DC2020A. The LT3955EUHE
is assembled in a 36-lead plastic QFN package with two
thermal pads underneath the IC. Proper board layout is
essential for maximum thermal performance. See the data
sheet section Layout Considerations.

Quick Start Procedure
Demonstration circuit DC2020A is easy to set up to
evaluate the performance of the LT3955EUHE. Follow the
procedure below:
1. Connect a string of LEDs that will run with forward
voltage less than or equal to 67V, but greater than the
intended PVIN, to the LED+ and LED– 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 will not exceed 60V (or VLED).
4. Connect the DIM terminal to a voltage between 0V
and 8V to set the internal PWMOUT dimming duty
cycle. If this terminal is left floating the converter will
run with approximately 12% PWMOUT dimming duty
cycle. Pull the PWM terminal high to INTVCC to set the
converter at 100% duty cycle.
2
5. Turn the input power supply on and make sure the
voltage is between 6.1V and 60V (or VLED) to start.
6. Release the EN/UVLO-to-GND connection.
7. Observe the LED string running at the programmed
LED current and brightness related to the programmed
PWMOUT duty cycle.
8. To change the brightness with PWM dimming, simply
vary the VDIM voltage between 0V and 8V with the
PWM terminal floating.
9. To change the brightness with analog dimming, simply attach a voltage source on the CTRL terminal and
reduce the voltage below 1.2V.
10.Observe the reduction of brightness in the LED string
when PWM or analog dimming.
