The LT3466-1 provides independent dimming and shutdown control of the two converters. The operating frequency can be set with an external resistor over a 200kHz
to 2MHz range. The white LED driver features a low 200mV
reference, thereby minimizing power loss in the current
setting resistor for better efficiency. The boost converter
achieves ±1.5% output voltage accuracy by the use of a
precision 0.8V reference. Protection features include output overvoltage protection and internal soft-start. Wide
input supply range allows operation from 2.7V to 24V.

OPERATIO
Main Control Loop
Minimum Output Current
The LT3466-1 uses a constant frequency, current mode
control scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation. It incorporates two similar, but fully independent PWM
converters. Operation can be best understood by referring
to the Block Diagram in Figure 2. The oscillator, start-up
bias and the bandgap reference are shared between the
two converters. The control circuitry, power switch, Schottky diode etc., are similar for both converters.
The LT3466-1 can drive a 6-LED string at 3mA LED current
without pulse skipping. As current is further reduced, the
device may begin skipping pulses. This will result in some
low frequency ripple, although the LED current remains
regulated on an average basis down to zero. The photo in
Figure 3 shows circuit operation with 6 white LEDs at 3mA
current driven from 3.6V supply. Peak inductor current is
less than 50mA and the regulator operates in discontinuous mode implying that the inductor current reached zero
during the discharge phase. After the inductor current
reaches zero, the switch pin exhibits ringing due to the LC
tank circuit formed by the inductor in combination with
switch and diode capacitance. This ringing is not harmful;
far less spectral energy is contained in the ringing than in
the switch transitions. The ringing can be damped by
application of a 300Ω resistor across the inductors, although this will degrade efficiency.
At power-up, the output voltages VOUT1 and VOUT2 are
charged up to VIN (input supply voltage) via their respective inductor and the internal Schottky diode. If either
CTRL1 and CTRL2 or both are pulled high, the bandgap
reference, start-up bias and the oscillator are turned on.
Working of the main control loop can be understood by
following the operation of converter 1. At the start of each
oscillator cycle, the power switch Q1 is turned on. A
voltage proportional to the switch current is added to a
stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the
positive terminal of the PWM comparator A2. When this
voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2, the
PWM logic turns off the power switch. The level at the
negative input of A2 is set by the error amplifier A1, and is
simply an amplified version of the difference between the
feedback voltage and the 200mV reference voltage. In this
manner, the error amplifier A1 regulates the voltage at the
FB1 pin to 200mV. The output of the error amplifier A1 sets
the correct peak current level in inductor L1 to keep the
output in regulation. The CTRL1 pin voltage is used to
adjust the feedback voltage.
The working of converter 2 is similar to converter 1 with
the exception that the feedback 2 reference voltage is
800mV. The error amplifier A1 in converter 2 regulates the
voltage at the FB2 pin to 800mV. If only one of the
converters is turned on, the other converter will stay off
and its output will remain charged up to VIN (input supply
voltage). The LT3466-1 enters into shutdown, when both
CTRL1 and CTRL2 are pulled lower than 70mV. The CTRL1
and CTRL2 pins perform independent dimming and shutdown control for the two converters.

Overvoltage Protection
The LT3466-1 has internal overvoltage protection for both
converters. In the event the white LEDs are disconnected
from the circuit or fail open, the converter 1 output voltage
is clamped at 39.5V (typ). Figure 4(a) shows the transient
response of the circuit in Figure 1 with LED1 disconnected.
With the white LEDs disconnected, the converter 1 starts
switching at the peak current limit. The output of converter
1 starts ramping up and finally gets clamped at 39.5V (typ).
The converter 1 will then switch at low inductor current to
regulate the output voltage. Output voltage and input
current during output open circuit are shown in the Typical
Performance Characteristics graphs.

OPERATIO
In the event one of the converters has an output open-circuit,
its output voltage will be clamped at 39.5V. However, the
other converter will continue functioning properly. The photo
in Figure 4b shows circuit operation with converter 1 output
open-circuit and converter 2 driving the OLED display. Converter 1 starts switching at a lower inductor current and
begins skipping pulses, thereby reducing its input current.
Converter 2 continues functioning properly.
Soft-Start
The LT3466-1 has a separate internal soft-start circuitry
for each converter. Soft-start helps to limit the inrush
current during start-up. Soft-start is achieved by clamping
the output of the error amplifier during the soft-start
period. This limits the peak inductor current and ramps up
the output voltage in a controlled manner.
The converter enters into soft-start mode whenever the
respective CTRL pin is pulled from low to high. Figure 5
shows the start-up waveforms with converter 1 driving six
LEDs at 20mA. The filtered input current, as shown in
Figure 5, is well controlled. The soft-start circuitry is less
effective when driving a higher number of LEDs.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
DUTY CYCLE
OPERATING FREQUENCY SELECTION
The duty cycle for a step-up converter is given by:
The choice of operating frequency is determined by several factors. There is a tradeoff between efficiency and
component size. Higher switching frequency allows the
use of smaller inductors albeit at the cost of increased
switching losses and decreased efficiency.
D=
VOUT + VD – VIN
VOUT + VD – VCESAT
where:
VOUT = Output voltage
VD = Schottky forward voltage drop
VCESAT = Saturation voltage of the switch
VIN = Input battery voltage
Another consideration is the maximum duty cycle achievable. In certain applications, the converter needs to operate at the maximum duty cycle in order to light up the
maximum number of LEDs. The LT3466-1 has a fixed
oscillator off-time and a variable on-time. As a result, the
maximum duty cycle increases as the switching frequency
is decreased.
The maximum duty cycle achievable for LT3466-1 is 96%
(typ) when running at 1MHz switching frequency. It increases to 99% (typ) when run at 200kHz and drops to
92% (typ) at 2MHz. Always ensure that the converter is not
duty-cycle limited when powering the LEDs or OLED at a
given switching frequency.
The circuit of Figure 1 is operated with different values of
timing resistor (RT). RT is chosen so as to run the
converters at 800kHz (RT = 63.4k), 1.25MHz (RT = 38.3k)
and 2MHz (RT = 20.5k). The efficiency comparison for
different RT values is shown in Figure 7.
SETTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY
INDUCTOR SELECTION
The LT3466-1 uses a constant frequency architecture that
can be programmed over a 200KHz to 2MHz range with a
single external timing resistor from the RT pin to ground.
The nominal voltage on the RT pin is 0.54V, and the
current that flows into the timing resistor is used to
charge and discharge an internal oscillator capacitor. A
graph for selecting the value of RT for a given operating
frequency is shown in the Figure 6.
The choice of the inductor will depend on the selection of
switching frequency of LT3466-1. The switching frequency can be programmed from 200kHz to 2MHz. Higher
switching frequency allows the use of smaller inductors
albeit at the cost of increased switching losses.

The ∆IL is typically set to 20% to 40% of the maximum
inductor current.
The inductor should have a saturation current rating
greater than the peak inductor current required for the
application. Also, ensure that the inductor has a low DCR
(copper wire resistance) to minimize I2R power losses.
Recommended inductor values range from 10µH to 68µH.

CAPACITOR SELECTION
The small size of ceramic capacitors make them ideal for
LT3466-1 applications. Use only X5R and X7R types
because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage
and temperature ranges than other types such as Y5V or
INRUSH CURRENT
The LT3466-1 has built-in Schottky diodes. When supply
voltage is applied to the VIN pin, an inrush current flows
through the inductor and the Schottky diode and charges
up the output capacitor. Both Schottky diodes in the
LT3466-1 can sustain a maximum of 1A current. The
selection of inductor and capacitor value should ensure
the peak of the inrush current to be below 1A.
For low DCR inductors, which is usually the case for this
application, the peak inrush current can be simplified as
follows:
IPK =
VIN – 0.6
ωL
where:
ω=
1

Typically peak inrush current will be less than the value
calculated above. This is due to the fact that the DC
resistance in the inductor provides some damping resulting in a lower peak inrush current.
SETTING THE LED CURRENT
The current in the LED string can be set by the choice of the
resistor RFB1 (Figure 1). The feedback reference is 200mV.
In order to have accurate LED current, precision resistors
are preferred (1% is recommended).
RFB1 =
200mV
ILED1
Using a Filtered PWM Signal
A variable duty cycle PWM can be used to control the
brightness of the LED string. The PWM signal is filtered
(Figure 8) by an RC network and fed to the CTRL1 pin.
The corner frequency of R1, C1 should be much lower than
the frequency of the PWM signal. R1 needs to be much
smaller than the internal impedance in the CTRL pin, which
is 100kΩ.

Most White LEDs are driven at maximum currents of
15mA to 20mA.
DIMMING WHITE LEDS
The LED current in the driver can be set by modulating the
CTRL1 pin. There are two different ways to control the
intensity of white LEDs.
Using a DC Voltage
For some applications, the preferred method of brightness
control is a variable DC voltage to adjust the LED current.
The CTRL1 pin voltage can be modulated to set the
dimming of the LED string. As the voltage on the CTRL1
pin increases from 0V to 1.8V, the LED current increases
from 0 to ILED1. As the CTRL1 pin voltage increases
beyond 1.8V, it has no effect on the LED current.
The LED current can be set by:

Figure 8. Dimming Control Using a Filtered PWM Signal
SETTING THE BOOST OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The LT3466-1 regulates the voltage at the FB2 pin to 0.8V.
The output voltage of the boost converter (VOUT2) is set by
a resistor divider according to the formula:
⎛ R1⎞
VOUT2 = 0.8V ⎜ 1+ ⎟
⎝ R2⎠
Choose 1% resistors for better accuracy. The FB2 input
bias current is quite low, on the order of 10nA (typ). Large
resistor values (R1 ~ 1MΩ) can be used in the divider
network maximizing efficiency.
PROGRAMMING THE BOOST OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The output voltage of the boost converter can be modulated by applying a variable DC voltage at the CTRL2 pin
The nominal voltage at the FB2 pin is 800mV. As the
voltage on the CTRL2 pin is ramped from 0V to 1V, the FB2
pin voltage ramps up to 0.8V. The feedback voltage can be
programmed as:
ILED1 ≈ (VCTRL1/5 • RFB1), when VCTRL1 < 1V
VFB2 ≈ VCTRL2, when VCTRL2 < 0.8V
ILED1 ≈ (200mV/RFB1), when VCTRL1 > 1.8V
VFB2 ≈ 0.8V, when VCTRL2 > 1V

Thus a linear change in the feedback (FB2) voltage results
in a linear change in the boost output voltage (VOUT2).
Connect the CTRL2 pin to ground to disable converter 2.
Do not leave the pin floating. Unlike the CTRL1 pin, which
has an internal 100k pull-down resistor, the CTRL2 pin
input impedance is very high (>100MΩ). A small amount
of board leakage current is sufficient to turn on the
converter 2.

OUTPUT DISCONNECT
The LT3466-1 can be used for powering white LEDs
(Channel 1) and an OLED display or, LCD bias (Channel 2).
Some OLED displays require load isolation in order to
reduce the current drained from the battery in shutdown.
The LT3466-1 output can be configured to provide output
disconnect by the use of only one resistor, RBASE, and a
PNP transistor, Q1, as shown in Figure 10.
hFE(MIN) ≅ 100
This yields worst case IBASE as:
IBASE =
30mA
≅ 0 . 75mA
0 . 4(100)
RBASE is given by:
VIN(MAX ) + IBASE • RBASE + VBE(Q1) = VOUT 2 + VCE(Q1)
Thus; RBASE =
VOUT 2 – VIN(MAX ) + VCE(Q1) – VBE(Q1)
IBASE
As a design example, we target a Li-Ion powered driver for
6 white LEDs and an OLED display (16V at 30mA). We can
choose a general purpose PNP switching transistor like
Philips BC807 (Q1) to provide isolation.

BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATION
As with all switching regulators, careful attention must be
paid to the PCB board layout and component placement.
To prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems,
proper layout of high frequency switching paths is essential. Minimize the length and area of all traces connected to
the switching node pins (SW1 and SW2). Keep the feedback pins (FB1 and FB2) away from the switching nodes.
The DFN package has an exposed paddle that must be
connected to the system ground. The ground connection
for the feedback resistors should be tied directly to the
