Final Electrical Specifications
The LT
®
3465A is a step-up DC/DC converter designed to
drive up to six LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell. Series
connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents
and eliminates the need for ballast resistors. This device
integrates the Schottky diode required externally on com-
peting devices. Additional features include output voltage
limiting when LEDs are disconnected, one-pin shutdown
and dimming control.
The LT3465A switches at 2.4MHz, allowing the use of tiny
external components. Constant frequency switching re-
sults in low input noise and a small output capacitor. Just
0.22µF is required for 3-, 4- or 5-LED applications.
The LT3465A is available in a low profile (<1mm) 6-lead
SOT-23 package.

Operation
The LT3465A uses a constant frequency, current mode
control scheme to provide excellent line and load regula-
tion. 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
200mV. 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. The CTRL pin voltage is used to adjust the
reference voltage.
Minimum Output Current
T
he LT3465A can drive a 3-LED string at 0.2mA 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 details circuit operation
driving three white LEDs at a 0.2mA load. Peak inductor
current is less than 30mA and the regulator operates in
discontinuous mode, meaning the inductor current
reaches zero during the discharge phase. After the induc-
tor current reaches zero, the SW pin exhibits ringing due
to the LC tank circuit formed by the inductor in combina-
tion 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 300 resistor across the
inductor, although this will degrade efficiency.

Inductor Selection
A 22µH or 10µH inductor is recommended for most
LT3465A applications. Although small size and high effi-
ciency are major concerns, the inductor should have low
core losses at 1.2MHz and low DCR (copper wire resis-
tance). Some inductors in this category with small size are
listed in Table␣ 1. The efficiency comparison of different
inductors is shown in Figure 4.

Capacitor Selection
The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them ideal for
LT3465A applications. X5R and X7R types are recom-
mended 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 LT3465A applications.

Inrush Current
The LT3465A has a built-in Schottky diode. When supply
voltage is applied to the V
IN
pin, the voltage difference
between V
IN
and V
OUT
generates inrush current flowing
from input through the inductor and the Schottky diode to
charge the output capacitor to V
IN
. The maximum current
the Schottky diode in the LT3465A can sustain is 1A. The
selection of inductor and capacitor value should ensure
the peak of the inrush current to be below 1A. The peak
inrush current can be calculated as follows:

The CTRL pin sets the feedback reference voltage as
shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics. When
CTRL is at 1.8V or more, the feedback reference is 200mV,
which results in full-scale LED current. The CTRL pin can
be used as a dimming control when its voltage is between
200mV to 1.5V. To maintain LED current accuracy, a 1%
or better resistor for R1 is recommended. The formula and

Dimming Using Filtered PWM
Dimming can be realized by using an RC filter in front of the
CTRL pin to filter a PWM signal, as depicted in Figure 5.
The filtered PWM signal is equivalent to a constant volt-
age. The time constant R1 • C1 should be much lower than
the frequency of the PWM signal. Additionally, R1 should
be small compared to the 50k impedance of the CTRL
pin. Suggested values are shown in Figure 5.
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
Dimming Using Direct PWM
Unlike the LT3465, the LT3465A does not have internal
soft-start. Although the input current is higher during
start-up, the absence of soft-start allows the CTRL pin to
be directly driven with a PWM signal for dimming. A zero
percent duty cycle sets the LED current to zero, while
100% duty cycle sets it to full current. Average LED current
increases proportionally with the duty cycle of the PWM
signal. PWM frequency should be between 1kHz and
10kHz for best performance. The PWM signal should be at
least 1.8V in magnitude; lower voltage will lower the
feedback voltage as shown in Equation 1. Waveforms are
shown for a 1kHz PWM and 10kHz PWM signal in Figures
6a and 6b respectively.

Figure 7. Recommended Component Placement
Open Circuit Protection
The LT3465A has an internal open-circuit protection cir-
cuit. When the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit or
fail open, V
OUT
is clamped at 30V. The LT3465A will then
switch at a low frequency, minimizing input current. V
OUT
and input current during open circuit are shown in the
Typical Performance Characteristics.
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 interfer-
ence (EMI) problems, proper layout of the high frequency

switching path is essential. Place C

next to the V

pin. 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. Rec-
ommended component placement is shown in Figure 7.
Start-Up Input Current
As previously mentioned, the LT3465A does not have an
internal soft-start circuit. Inrush current can therefore rise
to approximately 400mA as shown in Figure 8 when
driving 4 LEDs. The LT3465 has an internal soft-start
circuit and is recommended if inrush current must be
minimized.
