DESCRIPTIO
The LT ®1937 is a step-up DC/DC converter specifically
designed to drive white LEDs with a constant current. The
device can drive two, three or four LEDs in series from a
Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and
eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The LT1937
switches at 1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny external
components. The output capacitor can be as small as
0.22µF, saving space and cost versus alternative solutions. A low 95mV feedback voltage minimizes power loss
in the current setting resistor for better efficiency.

OPERATIO
The LT1937 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 in Figure 2. At the start of each oscillator
cycle, the SR latch is set, which turns on the power switch
Q1. 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 SR
latch is reset turning 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 reference voltage of 95mV. In
this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak
current level to keep the output in regulation. If the error
amplifier’s output increases, more current is delivered to
the output; if it decreases, less current is delivered.
Minimum Output Current
The LT1937 can regulate three series LEDs connected at
low output currents, down to approximately 4mA from a
4.2V supply, without pulse skipping, using the same
external components as specified for 15mA operation. As
current is further reduced, the device will 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 details circuit
operation driving three white LEDs at a 4mA load. Peak
inductor current is less than 50mA and the regulator
operates in discontinuous mode, meaning the inductor
current reaches 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 inductor, although this will degrade efficiency.

Inductor Selection
Capacitor Selection
A 22µH inductor is recommended for most LT1937 applications. Although small size and high efficiency are major
concerns, the inductor should have low core losses at
1.2MHz and low DCR (copper wire resistance). Some
inductors in this category with small size are listed in
Table␣ 1. The efficiency comparison of different inductors
is shown in Figure 4.
The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them ideal for
LT1937 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 1µF input capacitor and a 0.22µF output
capacitor are sufficient for most LT1937 applications.

Diode Selection
80
Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drop and
fast reverse recovery, are the ideal choices for LT1937
applications. The forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode
represents the conduction losses in the diode, while the
diode capacitance (CT or CD) represents the switching
losses. For diode selection, both forward voltage drop and
diode capacitance need to be considered. Schottky diodes
with higher current ratings usually have lower forward
voltage drop and larger diode capacitance, which can
cause significant switching losses at the 1.2MHz switching frequency of the LT1937. A Schottky diode rated at
100mA to 200mA is sufficient for most LT1937 applications. Some recommended Schottky diodes are listed in
Table 3.

LED Current Control
Dimming Control
The LED current is controlled by the feedback resistor (R1
in Figure 1). The feedback reference is 95mV. The LED
current is 95mV/R1. In order to have accurate LED current,
precision resistors are preferred (1% is recommended).
The formula and table for R1 selection are shown below.
There are four different types of dimming control circuits:
R1 = 95mV/ILED

1. Using a PWM Signal to SHDN Pin
With the PWM signal applied to the SHDN pin, the LT1937
is turned on or off by the PWM signal. The LEDs operate
at either zero or full current. The average LED current
increases proportionally with the duty cycle of the PWM
signal. A 0% duty cycle will turn off the LT1937 and
corresponds to zero LED current. A 100% duty cycle
corresponds to full current. The typical frequency range of
the PWM signal is 1kHz to 10kHz. The magnitude of the
PWM signal should be higher than the minimum SHDN
voltage high. The switching waveforms of the SHDN pin
PWM control are shown in Figures 6a and 6b.
Open-Circuit Protection
LT1937
In the cases of output open circuit, when the LEDs are
disconnected from the circuit or the LEDs fail, the feedback voltage will be zero. The LT1937 will then switch at
a high duty cycle resulting in a high output voltage, which
may cause the SW pin voltage to exceed its maximum 36V
rating. A zener diode can be used at the output to limit the
voltage on the SW pin (Figure 5). The zener voltage should
be larger than the maximum forward voltage of the LED
string. The current rating of the zener should be larger than
0.1mA.

2. Using a DC Voltage
4. Using a Logic Signal
For some applications, the preferred method of brightness
control is a variable DC voltage to adjust the LED current.
The dimming control using a DC voltage is shown in
Figure␣ 7. As the DC voltage increases, the voltage drop on
R2 increases and the voltage drop on R1 decreases. Thus,
the LED current decreases. The selection of R2 and R3 will
make the current from the variable DC source much
smaller than the LED current and much larger than the FB
pin bias current. For VDC range from 0V to 2V, the selection
of resistors in Figure 7 gives dimming control of LED
current from 0mA to 15mA.
For applications that need to adjust the LED current in
discrete steps, a logic signal can be used as shown in
Figure 9. R1 sets the minimum LED current (when the
NMOS is off). RINC sets how much the LED current
increases when the NMOS is turned on. The selection of
R1 and RINC follows formula (1) and Table 4.
3. Using a Filtered PWM Signal
The filtered PWM signal can be considered as an adjustable DC voltage. It can be used to replace the variable DC
voltage source in dimming control. The circuit is shown in
Figure 8.
Start-up and Inrush Current
To achieve minimum start-up delay, no internal soft-start
circuit is included in LT1937. When first turned on without
an external soft-start circuit, inrush current is about 200mA
as shown in Figure␣ 10. If soft-start is desired, the recommended circuit and the waveforms are shown in Figure 11.
If both soft-start and dimming are used, a 10kHz PWM
signal on SHDN is not recommended. Use a lower frequency or implement dimming through the FB pin as
shown in Figures 7, 8 or 9.

Board Layout Consideration
As with all switching regulators, careful attention must be
paid to the PCB board layout and component placement.
To maximize efficiency, switch rise and fall times are made
as short as possible. To prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems, proper layout of the high frequency
switching path is essential. The voltage signal of the SW
pin has sharp rise and fall edges. Minimize the length and

area of all traces connected to the SW pin and always use
a ground plane under the switching regulator to minimize
interplane coupling. In addition, the ground connection for
the feedback resistor R1 should be tied directly to the GND
pin and not shared with any other component, ensuring a
clean, noise-free connection. Recommended component
placement is shown in Figure 12.
