8 / 24 page  LT3498 8 3498f OPERATION— LED DRIVER The LED portion of the LT3498 uses a constant-frequency, current mode control scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation. Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram. At power-up, the capacitor at the CAP1 pin is charged up to VIN (input supply voltage) through the inductor and the internal Schottky diode. If CTRL1 is pulled higher than 125mV, the bandgap reference, the start-up bias and the oscillator are turned on. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the power switch Q1 is turned on. A voltage proportional to the switch current is added to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal of the PWM comparator, A2. When this voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2, the PWM logic turns off the power switch. The level at the negative input of A2 is set by the error amplifier A1, and is simply an amplified version of the difference between the VCAP1 and VLED1 voltage and the bandgap reference. In this manner the error amplifier, A1, sets the correct peak current level in inductor L1 to keep the output in regulation. The CTRL1 pin is used to adjust the LED current. The LED Driver is shutdown when CTRL1 is pulled lower than 75mV. Minimum Output Current The LED Driver of the LT3498 can drive a 4-LED string at 2mA LED current, without pulse-skipping, using the same external components shown in the application circuit on the front page of this data sheet. As current is further reduced, the device will begin skipping pulses. This will result in some low frequency ripple, although the average LED current remains regulated down to zero. The photo in Figure 1 details circuit operation driving four white LEDs at 2mA load. Peak inductor current is less than 60mA and the regulator operates in discontinuous mode, meaning the inductor current reaches zero during the discharge phase. After the inductor current reaches zero, the SW1 pin exhibits ringing due to the LC tank circuit formed by the inductor in combination with the switch and the diode capacitance. This ringing is not harmful; far less spectral energy is contained in the ringing than in the switch transitions. 200ns/DIV VSW 10V/DIV IL 50mA/DIV 3498 F01 VIN = 4.2V ILED = 2mA 4 LEDs Figure 1.
