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 exter-
nally on competing devices. Additional features include
output voltage limiting when LEDs are disconnected, one-
pin 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
(1mm) 6-lead SOT-23 (ThinSOT
TM
) package.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT3465E/LT3465AE are guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.

OUT
(Pin 1):
Output Pin. Connect to output capacitor and
LEDs. Minimize trace between this pin and output capaci-
tor to reduce EMI.
GND (Pin 2):
Ground Pin. Connect directly to local ground
plane.
FB (Pin 3):
Feedback Pin. Reference voltage is 200mV.
Connect LEDs and a resistor at this pin. LED current is
determined by the resistance and CTRL pin voltage:
CTRL (Pin 4):
Dimming Control and Shutdown Pin. Ground
this pin to shut down the device. When V
CTRL
is greater
than about 1.8V, full-scale LED current is generated.
When V
CTRL
is less than 1V, LED current is reduced.
Floating this pin places the device in shutdown mode.
V
IN
(Pin 5):
Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed
with a 1µF X5R or X7R type ceramic capacitor.
SW (Pin 6):
Switch Pin. Connect inductor here.
