The LT3965/LT3965-1 is an LED bypass switching device for dimming individual LEDs in a string using a common current source. It features eight individually controlled floating source 17V/330mΩ NMOS switches. The eight switches can be connected in parallel and/or in series to bypass current around one or more LEDs in a string. The LT3965 is initialized with all switches off (LEDs on), and the LT3965-1 is initialized with all switches on (LEDs off)The LT3965/LT3965-1 uses the I2C serial interface to communicate with the microcontroller. Each of the eight channels can be independently programmed to bypass the LED string in constant on or off, or PWM dimming with or without fade transition. Using the fade option provides 11-bit resolution logarithmic transition between PWM dimming states. The LT3965/LT3965-1 provides an internal clock generator and also supports external clock source for PWM dimming. The LT3965/LT3965-1 reports fault conditions for each channel such as open LED and shorted LED. The four address select pins allow 16 LT3965/LT3965-1 devices to share the I2C bus. The device is available in a 28-lead TSSOP package.

DC2218A

LT3965EFE/LT3797 Demo Board | 2-String Buck LED Driver with Matrix LED Dimmer; 9V ≤ VIN ≤ 30V, up to 30VLED @ 500mA (8 LEDs/String)

Product Details

Demonstration circuit DC2218A is a matrix LED dimmer system featuring the LT3965 8-switch matrix LED dimmer IC. There are 16 500mA LEDs that can be individually turned on, off, or PWM dimmed with two 8-switch LED dimmer LT3965 ICs. The two strings of LEDs are driven with two buck LED driver outputs of the LT3797 triple LED controller IC. The third channel of the LT3797 serves as a 30V pre-boost voltage regulator to provide a proper input voltage to the two buck LED driver channels. DC2218A can be driven from a 9V to 30V input and can survive transients up to 36V.
