DESCRIPTION

LTM8005

38VIN, 38VOUT Boost µModule

LED Driver with 40V Switch

Demonstration circuit 2257A features the LT M

8005 – a

38VIN, 38VOUT boost μModule

LED driver that can dis-

connect the output to protect against faults and provides

spread spectrum switching to simplify emissions compli-

ance. DC2257A is an LED driver with an input range for

normal operation from 6Vto27V. OVLO becomes active for

inputs above 29V and the maximum input voltage is 38V.

The LED current is 1.2A and the base switching frequency

is 350kHz. The efficiency is 92% when the input is 12V

with a 35V LED load. 35V is the maximum LED voltage.

The demo circuit requires application of an external voltage

to the PWM terminal for operation. The external voltage

can be a DC level or an appropriate PWM dimming signal.

Common frequencies for PWM dimming are 100Hz or

higher. Analog dimming is achieved using the CTRL inputs.

DC2257A allows adjustments to output voltage, output

current, input current, switching frequency, frequency L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo and μModule are registered trademarks of

modulation rate including disable, feedback loop com-

pensation, EN/UVLO threshold, OVLO threshold, soft-

start period, and fault latch-off or hiccup. In most cases,

adjustment is made by modifying the appropriate resistor

or capacitor component(s).

DC2257A provides outputs for input and output current

monitoring and fault status for short and open LEDs.

The demo circuit is designed to be easily reconfigured

to buck mode, buck-boost mode and SEPIC topologies.

There are placeholders to mount optional LC input filter

components.

The LTM8005 data sheet must be read in conjunction with

this demo manual to properly use or modify DC2257A.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Specifications are at TA= 25°C

To use DC2257A to evaluate the performance of the

LTM8005, refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement

equipment setup and then follow the procedure below.

NOTE: PWM must be pulled high to work. If PWM is not

used, connect the PWM terminal to a 2V to 5V source or

connect the PWM pin to VREF on the PCB using R18.

1. Connect a string of LEDs with a forward voltage of 35V

or less, but greater than the PVIN voltage, to the LED+

and GND terminals on the PCB as shown in Figure 1.

2. Connect the EN/UVLO terminal to ground with a

clip-onlead.

3. With the power off, connect the input power supply to

the PVIN and GND terminals within the voltage range

specified on the PCB. Make sure that the input power

supply voltage does not exceed the forward voltage of

the LED string. OVLO becomes active to inhibit switch-

ing for an input voltage of greater than 29V.

4. Connect an input to the PWM terminal. If PWM is not

used, connect PWM to a 2V to 5V DC source or to VREF

on the PCB using resistor R18. PWM must be pulled

high to work. For PWM dimming, connect a 100Hz or

higher PWM signal to the PWM terminal.

5. Turn the PVIN power supply on.

6. Release the EN/UVLO to GND connection.

7. Observe the LED string running at the programmed

LED current;or, observe the reduction of brightness

in the LED string with PWM dimming.
