  • 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.

    Description:

    The LM3406HV is a buck regulator controlled current source designed to drive a series string of high power, high brightness LEDs (HBLEDs) at forward currents of up to 1.5A. The converter`s output voltage adjusts as needed to maintain a constant current through the LED array.

    The LM3406HV circuit and BOM that come pre-installed on the evaluation board are optimized to run from an input voltage of 24V, but the circuit can operate from a wide input voltage range of 6.0V to 75V. The current output ranges from 0.35A to 1.5A. shows the program jumper settings used to program currents of 0.35A, 0.7A, 1A, and 1.5A.

    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.
