Texas Instruments LM3492/LM3492Q Individual Dimmable LED Drivers

Texas Instruments LM3492/LM3492Q Individual Dimmable LED Drivers integrate a boost converter and a two-channel current regulator to implement a high efficient and cost-effective LED driver. This is used for driving two individually dimmable LED strings with a maximum power of 15W and an output voltage of up to 65V. The boost converter employs a proprietary Projected-On-Time control method to give a fast transient response.

There is no compensation required, and a nearly constant switching frequency programmable from 200kHz to 1MHz. The application circuit is stable with ceramic capacitors and produces no audible noise on dimming. The programmable peak current limit and soft-start features reduce current surges at startup. Texas Instruments LM3492/LM3492Q Individual Dimmable LED Drivers have an integrated 190mΩ, 3.9A N-Channel MOSFET switch that minimizes the solution size.
