Features • Integrated 2.0A MOSFET • VIN Range 6V to 42V (LM3406) • VIN Range 6V to 75V (LM3406HV) • True average output current control • 1.7A Minimum Output Current Limit Over Temperature • Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit • PWM Dimming with Dedicated Logic Input • PWM Dimming with Power Input Voltage • Simple Control Loop Compensation • Low Power Shutdown • Supports All-Ceramic Output Capacitors and Capacitor-less Outputs • Thermal Shutdown Protection • eTSSOP-14 Package Description The LM3406/06HV are monolithic switching regulators designed to deliver constant currents to high power LEDs. Ideal for automotive, industrial, and general lighting applications, they contain a high-side N-channel MOSFET switch with a current limit of 2.0A (typical) for step-down (Buck) regulators. Controlled on-time with true average current and an external current sense resistor allow the converter output voltage to adjust as needed to deliver a constant current to series and series-parallel connected LED arrays of varying number and type. LED dimming via pulse width modulation (PWM) is achieved using a dedicated logic pin or by PWM of the power input voltage. The product feature set is rounded out with low-power shutdown and thermal shutdown protection. Applications • LED Driver • Constant Current Source • Automotive Lighting • General Illumination • Industrial Lighting

Reliability Metrics

LM3406MH	ABCD150XV1	0	3868	0	0	2595000	2	736338335

Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
