The LM3429 is a versatile high voltage LED driver controller.

With the capability to be configured in a Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost (Flyback), or SEPIC topology, and an input and output operating voltage rating of 75V, the LM3429 is ideal for illuminating LEDs in a very diverse, large family of applications.

Adjustable high-side current sense with a typical sense voltage of 100 mV allows for tight regulation of the LED current with the highest efficiency possible. Output LED current regulation is based on peak current-mode control with predictive Off-Time Control. This method of control eases the design of loop compensation while providing inherent input voltage feed-forward compensation.

The LM3429 includes a high-voltage startup regulator that operates over a wide input range of 4.5V to 75V. The internal PWM controller is designed for adjustable switching frequencies of up to 2.0MHz, thus enabling compact solutions. Additional features include: precision reference, logic compatible DIM input suitable for fast PWM dimming,cycle-by-cycle current limit, and thermal shutdown.

The LM3429 comes in a low profile, thermally efficient TSSOP EP 14-lead package.

The LM2841 and LM2842 are PWM DC/DC buck (step-down) regulators. With a wide input range from 4.5V-42V, they are suitable for a wide range of applications such as power conditioning from unregulated sources. They feature a low RDSON (0.9Ω typical) internal switch for maximum efficiency (85% typical). Operating frequency is fixed at 550 kHz (X version) and 1.25 MHz (Y version) allowing the use of small external components while still being able to have low output voltage ripple. Soft-start can be implemented using the shutdown pin with an external RC circuit allowing the user to tailor the soft-start time to a specific application.

The LM2842 is optimized for up to 600 mA load currents while the LM2841 is optimized for up to 300 mA load current. Both have a 0.765V nominal feedback voltage.

Additional features include: thermal shutdown, VIN under-voltage lockout, and gate drive under-voltage lockout. The LM2841 and LM2842 are available in a low profile TSOT-6L package.
