Analog Devices Inc. LTM8042 µModule Boost LED Driver & Current Source

Analog Devices LTM8042 µModule Boost LED Driver and Current Source is specifically designed to drive LEDs up to 1A. The LTM8042-1 drives up to 350mA. The device combines a boost power topology with a unique current loop to operate as a constant-current source. The PWM input provides 3000:1 LED dimming and 10:1 analog dimming by a single resistor or analog voltage applied to the CTL pin. The Analog Devices LTM8042/LTM8042-1 has an uninterrupted current path between input and output. It's intolerant to a short-circuit or overload from the output to ground.

Features

  • True Color PWM™ with 3000:1 dimming ratio
  • Operates in boost, buck, or buck-boost mode
