LM3404
Description The LM3404/04HV 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 NFET switch with a minimum overtemperature current limit of 1.2A for step-down (Buck) regulators. Hysteretic control with controlled on-time coupled with an external resistor allow the converter output voltage to adjust as needed to deliver constant current to series and series-parallel connected LED arrays of varying number and type. Output current dimming via PWM, broken/open LED protection, low-power shutdown and thermal shutdown plete the feature set. Features Integrated 1.2A NFET VIN Range 6V to 42V (LM3404) VIN Range 6V to 75V (LM3404HV) 1.2A Output Current Over Temperature Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit No Control Loop pensation Required Separate PWM Dimming and Low Power Shutdown Supports all-ceramic output capacitors and capacitor-less outputs n Thermal shutdown...
