The LT®3498 is a dual output boost converter featuring a
2.3MHz PWM LED Driver and PFM OLED Driver. It includes
an internal power switch and Schottky diode for each
driver. Both converters can be independently shut down
and modulated. This highly integrated power solution is
ideal for dual display electronic devices.
The 2.3MHz step-up converter is designed to drive up to six
white LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell. The device features
a unique high side LED current sense that enables the part
to function as a “one-wire” current source—one side of the
LED string can be returned to ground anywhere. Traditional
LED drivers use a grounded resistor to sense LED current,
requiring a 2-wire connection to the LED string.
The PFM OLED driver is a low noise boost converter that
features a novel control technique.* The converter controls
power delivery by varying both the peak inductor current
and switch off time. This technique results in low output
voltage ripple, as well as, high efficiency over a wide load
range. The off time of the switch is not allowed to exceed a
fixed level, guaranteeing a switching frequency that stays
above the audio band.

PIN FUNCTIONS
LED1 (Pin 1): Connection Point Between the Anode of the
Highest LED and the Sense Resistor. The LED current can
be programmed by:
200mV
ILED1 =
RSENSE1
CTRL1 (Pin 2): Dimming and Shutdown Pin. Connect this
pin below 75mV to disable the white LED driver. As the
pin voltage is ramped from 0V to 1.5V, the LED current
ramps from 0 to (ILED1 = 200mV / RSENSE1).
GND1, 2 (Pins 3, 4): Ground. Tie directly to local ground
plane. GND1 and GND2 are connected internally.
CTRL2 (Pin 5): Dimming and Shutdown Pin. Connect it
below 75mV to disable the low noise boost converter.
As the pin voltage is ramped from 0V to 1.5V, the output
ramps up to the programmed output voltage.
FB2 (Pin 6): Feedback Pin. Reference voltage is 1.215V.
There is an internal 182kΩ resistor from FB2 to GND. To
achieve desired output voltage, choose RFB2 according to
the following formula:

LT3498
OPERATION—LED DRIVER
The LED portion of the LT3498 uses a constant-frequency,
current mode control scheme to provide excellent line
and load regulation. Operation can be best understood
by referring to the Block Diagram.
At power-up, the capacitor at the CAP1 pin is charged up
to VIN (input supply voltage) through the inductor and the
internal Schottky diode. If CTRL1 is pulled higher than
125mV, the bandgap reference, the start-up bias and the
oscillator are turned on. 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 VCAP1 and VLED1 voltage and
the bandgap reference. In this manner the error amplifier,
A1, sets the correct peak current level in inductor L1 to
keep the output in regulation. The CTRL1 pin is used to
adjust the LED current. The LED Driver is shutdown when
CTRL1 is pulled lower than 75mV.
Minimum Output Current
The LED Driver of the LT3498 can drive a 4-LED string at
2mA LED current, without pulse-skipping, using the same
external components shown in the application circuit on
the front page of this data sheet. As current is further
reduced, the device will begin skipping pulses. This will
result in some low frequency ripple, although the average
LED current remains regulated down to zero. The photo in
Figure 1 details circuit operation driving four white LEDs
at 2mA load. Peak inductor current is less than 60mA and
the regulator operates in discontinuous mode, meaning
the inductor current reaches zero during the discharge
phase. After the inductor current reaches zero, the SW1
pin exhibits ringing due to the LC tank circuit formed
by the inductor in combination with the switch and the
diode capacitance. This ringing is not harmful; far less
spectral energy is contained in the ringing than in the
switch transitions.

LT3498
OPERATION—OLED DRIVER
The low noise boost of the LT3498 uses a novel control
scheme to provide high efficiency over a wide range
of output current. In addition, this technique keeps the
switching frequency above the audio band over all load
conditions.
The operation of the part can be better understood by
referring to the Block Diagram. The part senses the
output voltage by monitoring the voltage on the FB2 pin.
The user sets the desired output voltage by choosing the
value of the external topside feedback resistor. The part
incorporates a precision 182kΩ bottom-side feedback
resistor. Assuming that output voltage adjustment is not
used (CTRL2 pin is tied to 1.5V, or greater), the internal
reference (VREF = 1.215V) sets the voltage to which FB2
will servo during regulation.
The Switch Control block senses the output of the amplifier and adjusts the switching frequency, as well as other
parameters to achieve regulation. During the start-up of
the circuit, special precautions are taken to ensure that
the inductor current remains under control.
Because the switching frequency is never allowed to fall
below approximately 50kHz, a minimum load must be
present to prevent the output voltage from drifting too
high. This minimum load is automatically generated within
the part via the Shunt Control block. The level of this current
is adaptable, removing itself when not needed to improve
efficiency at higher load levels.
The low-noise boost of the LT3498 also has an integrated
Schottky diode and PMOS output disconnect switch. The
PMOS switch is turned on when the part is enabled. When
the part is in shutdown, the PMOS switch turns off, allowing
the VOUT2 node to go to ground. This type of disconnect
function is often required in power supplies.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION— LED DRIVER
Inductor Selection
80
A 15µH inductor is recommended for most applications
for the LED driver of the LT3498. Although small size and
high efficiency are major concerns, the inductor should
have low core losses at 2.3MHz and low DCR (copper
wire resistance). Some small inductors in this category
are listed in Table 1. The efficiency comparison of different
inductors is shown in Figure 2.

Capacitor Selection
The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them ideal for
LT3498 LED driver applications. Use only X5R and X7R
types, because they retain their capacitance over wider
temperature ranges than other types, such as Y5V or
Z5U. A 4.7µF input capacitor and a 1µF output capacitor
are sufficient for most applications.

The LT3498 LED Driver has a built-in Schottky diode.
When supply voltage is applied to the VIN pin, an inrush
current flows through the inductor and Schottky diode
and charges up the CAP1 voltage. The Schottky diode
for the LED Driver of the LT3498 can sustain a maximum
current of 1A.
Overvoltage Protection
The LED driver of the LT3498 has an internal open-circuit
protection circuit. In the cases of output open circuit, when
the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit or the LEDs
fail open-circuit, VCAP1 is clamped at 27V (typ). The LED
driver will then switch at a very low frequency to minimize
input current. The VCAP1 and input current during output
open-circuit are shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics. Figure 3 shows the transient response when
the LEDs are disconnected.

Programming LED Current
The LED current can be set by:
The feedback resistor (RSENSE1) and the sense voltage
(VCAP1 – VLED1) control the LED current. The CTRL1 pin
controls the sense reference voltage as shown in the
Typical Performance Characteristics. For CTRL1 higher
than 1.5V, the sense reference is 200mV, which results in
full LED current. To have accurate LED current, precision
resistors are preferred (1% is recommended). The formula
and table for RSENSE selection are shown below.

Feedback voltage variation versus control voltage is

Using a Filtered PWM Signal
A filtered PWM signal can be used to control the brightness of the LED string. The PWM signal is filtered (Figure 4)
by a 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 of the CTRL1
pin which is 10MΩ (typ).
Dimming Control
There are three different types of dimming control circuits.
The LED current can be set by modulating the CTRL1 pin
with a DC voltage, a filtered PWM signal or directly with
a PWM signal.

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 1.5V, the LED current increases from
0 to ILED. As the CTRL1 pin voltage increases beyond 1.5V,
it has no effect on the LED current.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION— LED DRIVER
Direct PWM Dimming
Changing the forward current flowing in the LEDs not only
changes the intensity of the LEDs, it also changes the color.
The chromaticity of the LEDs changes with the change in
forward current. Many applications cannot tolerate any
shift in the color of the LEDs. Controlling the intensity of
the LEDs with a direct PWM signal allows dimming of the
LEDs without changing the color. In addition, direct PWM
dimming offers a wider dimming range to the user.
Dimming the LEDs via a PWM signal essentially involves
turning the LEDs on and off at the PWM frequency. The
typical human eye has a limit of ~60 frames per second.
By increasing the PWM frequency to ~80Hz or higher,
the eye will interpret that the pulsed light source is continuously on. Additionally, by modulating the duty cycle
(amount of “on-time”), the intensity of the LEDs can be
controlled. The color of the LEDs remains unchanged in
this scheme since the LED current value is either zero or
a constant value.
Figure 5 shows a Li-Ion powered driver for four white
LEDs. Direct PWM dimming method requires an external
NMOS tied between the cathode of the lowest LED in the
string and ground as shown in Figure 5. A simple logic
level Si2304 MOSFET can be used since its source is
connected to ground. The PWM signal is applied to the
CTRL1 pin of the LT3498 and the gate of the MOSFET.
The PWM signal should traverse between 0V to 5V, to
ensure proper turn-on and -off of the driver and the NMOS
transistor Q1. When the PWM signal goes high, the LEDs
are connected to ground and a current of ILED = 200mV /
RSENSE1 flows through the LEDs. When the PWM signal
goes low, the LEDs are disconnected and turn off. The
MOSFET ensures that the LEDs quickly turn off without
discharging the output capacitor which in turn allows the
LEDs to turn on faster. Figure 6 shows the PWM dimming
waveforms for the circuit in Figure 5.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION— LED DRIVER
The time it takes for the LED current to reach its programmed value sets the achievable dimming range for a
given PWM frequency. For example, the settling time of
the LED current in Figure 6 is approximately 40µs for a
3V input voltage. The achievable dimming range for this
application and 100Hz PWM frequency can be determined
using the following method.
Example:
f = 100Hz, t SETTLE = 40µ s

t SETTLE
• 100 =
• 100 = 0 . 4 %
t PERIOD
0 . 01s
Duty Cycle Range = 100 % → 0 . 4 % at 100Hz
The dimming range can be further extended by changing
the amplitude of the PWM signal. The height of the PWM
signal sets the commanded sense voltage across the sense
resistor through the CTRL1 pin. In this manner both analog
dimming and direct PWM dimming extend the dimming
range for a given application. The color of the LEDs no
longer remains constant because the forward current of
the LED changes with the height of the CTRL1 signal. For
the four LED application described above, the LEDs can
be dimmed first, modulating the duty cycle of the PWM
signal. Once the minimum duty cycle is reached, the height
of the PWM signal can be decreased below 1.5V down to
125mV. The use of both techniques together allows the
average LED current for the four LED application to be
varied from 20mA down to less than 20µA. Figure 9 shows
the application for dimming using both analog dimming
and PWM dimming. A potentiometer must be added to
ensure that the gate of the NMOS receives a logic-level
signal, while the CTRL1 signal can be adjusted to lower
amplitudes.
VIN 3V TO 5V
The calculations show that for a 100Hz signal the dimming
range is 250:1. In addition, the minimum PWM duty cycle
of 0.4% ensures that the LED current has enough time to
settle to its final value. Figure 8 shows the dimming range
achievable for three different frequencies with a settling
time of 40µs.

Inductor Selection
Capacitor Selection
Several recommended inductors that work well with the
OLED driver of the LT3498 are listed in Table 5, although
there are many other manufacturers and devices that can
be used. Consult each manufacturer for more detailed
information and for their entire selection of related parts.
Many different sizes and shapes are available. Use the
equations and recommendations in the next few sections
to find the correct inductance value for your design.
The small size and low ESR of ceramic capacitors makes
them suitable for most OLED Driver applications. X5R and
X7R types are recommended because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than
other types such as Y5V or Z5U. A 4.7µF input capacitor
and a 10µF output capacitor are sufficient for most applications for the OLED Driver. Always use a capacitor with
a sufficient voltage rating. Many capacitors rated at 10µF,
particularly 0805 or 0603 case sizes, have greatly reduced
capacitance when bias voltages are applied. Be sure to check
actual capacitance at the desired output voltage. Generally
a 1206 size capacitor will be adequate. A 0.47µF capacitor placed on the CAP node is recommended to filter the
inductor current while the larger 10µF placed on the VOUT
node will give excellent transient response and stability.
Table 6 shows a list of several capacitor manufacturers.

and for their entire selection of related parts.

Inductor Selection—Boost Regulator
The formula below calculates the appropriate inductor
value to be used for the low noise boost regulator of
the LT3498 (or at least provides a good starting point).
This value provides a good tradeoff in inductor size and
system performance. Pick a standard inductor close to
this value. A larger value can be used to slightly increase
the available output current, but limit it to around twice
the value calculated below, as too large of an inductance
will decrease the output voltage ripple without providing
much additional output current. A smaller value can be
used (especially for systems with output voltages greater
than 12V) to give a smaller physical size. Inductance can
be calculated as:
L = ( VOUT 2 − VIN(MIN) + 0 . 5V) • 0 . 66 (µ H)
where VOUT2 is the desired output voltage and VIN(MIN) is
the minimum input voltage. Generally, a 10µH or 15µH
inductor is a good choice.

Setting Output Voltage and the Auxiliary
Reference Input
The OLED driver of the LT3498 is equipped with both an
internal 1.215V reference and an auxiliary reference input.
This allows the user to select between using the built-in
reference, and supplying an external reference voltage.
The voltage at the CTRL2 pin can be adjusted while the
chip is operating to alter the output voltage of the LT3498
for purposes such as display dimming or contrast adjustment. To use the internal 1.215V reference, the CTRL2 pin
must be held higher than 1.5V. When the CTRL2 pin is
held between 0V and 1.5V the OLED driver will regulate
the output such that the FB2 pin voltage is nearly equal to
the CTRL2 pin voltage. At CTRL2 voltages close to 1.215V,
3498f

a soft transition occurs between the CTRL2 pin and the
internal reference. Figure 10 shows this behavior.

Choosing a Feedback Node
The single feedback resistor may be connected to the VOUT2
pin or to the CAP2 pin (see Figure 11). Regulating the
VOUT2 pin eliminates the output offset resulting from the
voltage drop across the output disconnect PMOS. Regulating the CAP2 pin does not compensate for the voltage
drop across the output disconnect, resulting in an output
voltage VOUT2 that is slightly lower than the voltage set by
the resistor divider. Under most conditions, it is advised
that the feedback resistor be tied to the VOUT2 pin.

⎝ 1.215 ⎠
When CTRL2 is used to override the internal reference,
the output voltage can be lowered from the maximum
value down to nearly the input voltage level. If the voltage
source driving the CTRL2 pin is located at a distance to
the LT3498, a small 0.1µF capacitor may be needed to
bypass the pin locally.

The efficiency of the converter can be improved by connecting the load to the CAP2 pin instead of the VOUT2 pin.
The power loss in the PMOS disconnect circuit is then
made negligible. By connecting the feedback resistor to
the VOUT2 pin, no quiescent current will be consumed
in the feedback resistor string during shutdown since
the PMOS transistor will be open (see Figure 12). The
disadvantage of this method is that the CAP2 node cannot go to ground during shutdown, but will be limited to
around a diode drop below VIN . Loads connected to the
part should only sink current. Never force external power
supplies onto the CAP2 or VOUT2 pins. The larger value
output capacitor should be placed on the node to which
the load is connected.

Maximum Output Load Current
Step 4: Calculate the nominal output current:
The maximum output current of a particular LT3498
circuit is a function of several circuit variables. The following method can be helpful in predicting the maximum
load current for a given circuit:
Step 1: Calculate the peak inductor current:
IPK = ILIMIT +
VIN • 400 • 10 –9
amps
L
where ILIMIT is 0.3A for the OLED driver. L is the inductance value in Henrys and VIN is the input voltage to the
boost circuit.
Step 2: Calculate the inductor ripple current:
IRIPPLE =
(VOUT2 + 1 – VIN) • 150 • 10
–9
L
amps
where VOUT2 is the desired output voltage.
If the inductor ripple current is less then the peak current,
then the circuit will only operate in discontinuous conduction mode. The inductor value should be increased so
that IRIPPLE < IPK. An application circuit can be designed
to operate only in discontinuous mode, but the output
current capability will be reduced.
Step 3: Calculate the average input current:
IIN( AVG) = IPK –
IRIPPLE
amps
2
IOUT(NOM) =
IIN( AVG) • VIN • 0.75
VOUT 2
amps
Step 5: Derate output current:
IOUT = IOUT(NOM) • 0.7 amps
For low output voltages the output current capability will
be increased. When using output disconnect (load current
taken from VOUT2), these higher currents will cause the
drop in the PMOS switch to be higher resulting in reduced
output current capability than those predicted by the
preceding equations.
Inrush Current
When VIN is stepped from ground to the operating voltage
while the output capacitor is discharged, a higher level of
inrush current will flow through the inductor and integrated
Schottky diode into the output capacitor. Conditions that
increase inrush current include a larger more abrupt voltage
step at VIN, a larger output capacitor tied to the CAP2 pin,
and an inductor with a low saturation current. While the
internal diode is designed to handle such events, the inrush
current should not be allowed to exceed 1A. For circuits
that use output capacitor values within the recommended
range and have input voltages of less than 5V, inrush current remains low, posing no hazard to the device. In cases
where there are large steps at VIN (more than 5V) and/or
a large capacitor is used at the CAP2 pin, inrush current
should be measured to ensure safe operation.

Board Layout Considerations
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 sense
voltage pins (CAP1 and LED1) away from the switching
LED1
node. The FB2 connection for the feedback resistor RFB2
should be tied directly from the VOUT2 pin to the FB2
pin and be kept as short as possible, ensuring a clean,
noise-free connection. Place COUT1 and COUT2 next to the
CAP1 and CAP2 pins respectively. Always use a ground
plane ender the switching regulator to minimize interplane
coupling. Recommended component placement is shown
in Figure 13.
