The LT3486 is a dual step-up DC/DC converter specifically designed to drive up to 16 White LEDs (8 in series per converter) at constant current from a single Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness. The two independent converters are capable of driving asymmetric LED strings.

The dimming of the two LED strings can be controlled independently via the respective CTRL pins. An internal dimming system allows the dimming range to be extended up to 1000:1 by feeding a PWM signal to the respective PWM pins. The LT3486 operating frequency can be set with an external resistor over a 200kHz to 2.5MHz range. A low 200mV feedback voltage (±3% accuracy) minimizes power loss in the current setting resistor for better efficiency. Additional features include output voltage limiting when LEDs are disconnected and overtemperature protection.

The LT3486 is available in a space saving 16-pin DFN (5mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) and 16-pin thermally enhanced TSSOP packages.

Product Detail

Demonstration circuit 876 is a dual step-up white LED driver with wide dimming range featuring the LT3486. The board is optimized to drive a string of six, eight, or ten white LEDs at 100mA from each of its two outputs with a PVIN input voltage range of 3V to 25V. The maximum LED output voltage must be less than 36V as the overvoltage protection at the output will limit the maximum output voltage to 36V in the case of an open circuit load.


The high input voltage range, high-efficiency low-side internal 1.3A NPN power switches, ground-referenced low-voltage current sense resistors, PWM pins for 1000:1 dimming ratio, control pins for brightness adjust, overvoltage protection, shutdown control pin, externally programmable switching frequency, low shutdown current and internal soft-start capacitor make the LT3486 an extremely powerful and versatile LED driving IC for portable applications and displays.
