Description
LT3799
Offline Isolated Flyback
LED Driver with PFC
Demonstration circuit 1744A is an off-line isolated flyback
converter featuring the LT
®
3799. The demo board is de-
signed to drive a single LED from an input voltage range
of 90V AC to 270V AC. It is also designed to comply with
IEC 61000-3-2 Class C harmonics standard and EN55015B
conducted EMI standard.
The LT3799 controls an isolated flyback converter in
boundary mode, suitable for LED applications requiring
4W to over 100W of LED power. Its novel current sensing
scheme delivers a well-regulated output current to the
secondary side without using an opto-coupler. Its unique
bleeder circuit makes the LED driver compatible with L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear
Technology Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

TRIAC dimmers without additional components. Open-
and shorted-LED protection ensures long-term reliability.
The LT3799 is available in a low profile, thermally-enhanced
16-lead MSOP package.
The LT3799 data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, operation and application information. The data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick start
guide for demo circuit 1744A.

Figure 1. Proper Measurement Equipment Setup
IMPORTANT NOTE TO CUSTOMERS:
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENTED ON THE DEMO CIR-
CUIT, AND CAN LEAD TO LETHAL INJURIES TO HUMAN
BODY. ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD OPERATE
IT. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO USE SAFETY
GLASSES AND AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER.
NOTE. IMPROPER COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT ON
THE DEMO CIRCUIT CAN CAUSE PERFORMANCE DE-
TERIORATIONS, CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, AND EVEN LIFE-THREATHENING INJURIES.
CONTACT LINEAR TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS EN-
GINEERS FOR PROPER COMPONENT REPLACEMENT.
Demonstration circuit 1744A is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of the LT3799. Refer to Figure 1 for
proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
1. Connect a 1A LED between LED+ and LED terminals.
2. With power off, connect the input power supply to Line
(L) Input and Neutral (N) Input.
3. Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE: Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed
the maximum input voltage (270V AC).
4. Check for the proper output current.
Once the proper output currents are established, adjust
the input voltage and/or the load and observe the output
current regulation, efficiency, power factor and other
parameters.
