IS31LT3938
Preliminary
High Voltage LED Lighting Driver with Three Level Power Sequencing
Features
General Description
IS31LT3938 LED driver IC is a peak current detection
buck converter which operates in constant off time
mode. It operates over a very wide input voltage supply
range of 10VDC to 450VDC or 110VAC/220VAC.
IS31LT3938 incorporates the special feature of three
power sequencing levels by detecting OFF-ON cycles
of the main power switch. When the switch is cycled
within a 4 second period (typical) the device
automatically switches the power level to the next step.
As a result, the input and output power of the luminaire
may be adjusted depending on the desired amount of
illumination and/or power consumption. There are
multiple power levels that the engineer may configure,
2 steps or 3 steps, via the external pins DIM1 and
DIM2.
IS31LT3938 can also realize LED dimming using an
external PWM signal. It can accept a PWM signal from
0% to 100% duty cycle. The LED current may also be
adjusted linearly by applying an analog input voltage in
the range of 0.5V to 2.5V.
IS31LT3938 adopts a peak current mode control
architecture, which eliminates the need for any
additional loop compensation while maintaining a good
degree of constant output current regulation.
 User configurable power sequencing levels
 3% output current accuracy
 Over current, temperature protection and short circuit
protection
 High efficiency (typical up to 95%)
 Higher MOS drive voltage

85Vac~ 265Vac
 Linear and PWM dimming
 Very few external components

causing a spike of current which can be quite large, but
only lasts for a very short period of time. To prevent this
current from causing a false triggering of the current
sense comparators, the signal is blocked from the
internal comparators for 500ns (typical).
In some
special cases, the 500ns blanking time may not be
sufficient to prevent false triggering of the CS threshold
logic. Under these circumstances, an additional RC
filter may be added to the CS input pin to help filter the
voltage spike. Careful layout of the PCB to minimize
parasitic capacitance, trace resistance and inductance
greatly aid in the elimination of false triggering.
