PIN FUNCTIONS (DFN/TSOT)

VIN (Pin 1/Pin 3): Input Supply Pin. Must be locally by-
passed with a 1μF X5R or X7R type ceramic capacitor.
GND (Pin 2/Pin 2): Ground Pin. Connect directly to local
ground plane.
SW (Pin 6/Pin 4): Switch Pin. Connect inductor between
this pin and the VIN pin. Minimize inductance at this pin
to minimize EMI.
CAP (Pin 5/Pin 5): Output Pin. Connect to output capaci-
tor. Minimize trace between this pin and output capacitor
to reduce EMI.
CTRL (Pin 3/Pin 1): Current Control and Shutdown Pin.
This pin is used to program the LED output current. This
pin is strobed up to 32 times to decrement the internal
5-bit DACs from full-scale to 1LSB. The counter will stop
at 1LSB if the strobing continues beyond 32 counts.
The pin must be held high after the final desired positive
strobe edge. The data is transferred after a 128μs (typ)
delay. The part can be reprogrammed to a different value
after it has been enabled, however the current will change
to the new value after 128μs. If CTRL is held low for longer
than 128μs (typ), the part will go into shutdown.
LED (Pin 4/Pin 6): LED Pin. An internal switch connects
this pin to CAP. The top of the LED string is connected
to this pin. When the part is in shutdown, the LED pin is
switched off from CAP so no current runs through the
LEDs. The switch is also used to sense the LED current
when the part is on.
Exposed Pad (Pin 7/NA): Ground. The Exposed Pad must
be soldered to the PCB.

OPERATION
The LT3593 uses a constant frequency, current mode
control boost scheme to provide excellent line and load
regulation. Operation can be best understood by referring
to the Block Diagram in Figure 1.
Output Disconnect
An internal switch connects between the CAP pin and the
LED pin. The top of the LED string is connected to the
LED pin. The string can be terminated to ground or to
VIN if a low number of LEDs are driven. When the part is
in shutdown, the switch is off; allowing no current to run
through the LEDs.
Current Programming
The LED current can be set to 32 different values
(625μA – 20mA) by strobing the CTRL pin. A 5-bit
counter is decremented by 1 on a CTRL pin rising edge,
reducing the programmed current by 625μA each time.
LT3593
The desired current can be calculated by:
ILED = 20mA – (N – 1) • 625μA
where N is the number of rising edges. When the desired
current setting is reached, the CTRL pin must stay high.
128μs after the last rising edge on the CTRL pin, the
regulator will enable the output and start to regulate the
LED current to the programmed value. Figure 2 shows
an example of how the part can be programmed.
If a different current is desired, the CTRL pin can be strobed
again. The first falling edge will reset the internal register
to the 20mA setting. While the new current is being pro-
grammed, the device will continue to regulate the previously
programmed value until the CTRL pin has remained high
for at least 128μs, at which time the regulated current will
slew to the newly programmed value. Figure 3 shows how
to program a new LED current level.
If the CTRL pin is held low for longer than 128μs, the part
will go into the shutdown mode.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Overvoltage Protection
The LT3593 has an internal open-circuit protection circuit.
In the case of an output open circuit, when the LEDs are
disconnected from the circuit or the LEDs fail open, VCAP
is clamped at 38V. The LT3593 will then switch at a very
low frequency to minimize input current. VCAP and input
current during output open circuit are shown in the Typical
Performance Characteristics. Figure 5 shows the transient
response when the LEDs are disconnected.
LT3593
Low Input Voltage Applications
The LT3593 can be used in low input voltage applications.
The input supply voltage to the LT3593 must be 2.7V or
higher, but the inductor can be run off a lower battery
voltage. This technique allows the LEDs to be powered off
two alkaline cells. Most portable devices have a 3.3V logic
supply voltage which can be used to power the LT3593.
The LEDs can be driven straight from the battery, resulting
in higher efficiency.
Figure 6 shows three LEDs powered by two AA cells.
The battery is connected to the inductors and the chip is
powered off a 3.3V logic supply voltage.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Board Layout Considerations
As with all switching regulators, careful attention must
be paid to the PCB layout and component placement. To
prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems,
proper layout of high frequency switching paths is essential.
Minimize the length and area of all traces connected to the
Switching node pin (SW). Keep the sense voltage pins (CAP
and LED) away from the switching node. Place C2 next to
the CAP pin. Always use a ground plane under the switching
regulator to minimize interplane coupling. Recommended
component placement is shown in Figure 7.
