The LT
3465/LT3465A are step-up DC/DC converters
designed to drive up to six LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell.
Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED
currents and eliminates the need for ballast resistors.
These devices integrate the Schottky diode required externally on competing devices. Additional features include
output voltage limiting when LEDs are disconnected, onepin shutdown and dimming control. The LT3465 has
internal soft-start.
The LT3465 switches at 1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny
external components. The faster LT3465A switches at
2.4MHz. Constant frequency switching results in low input
noise and a small output capacitor. Just 0.22µF is required
for 3-, 4- or 5-LED applications.
The LT3465 and LT3465A are available in the low profile
