Product Summary

The LM3421MH is an n-channel controller for constant current led drivers. The LM3421MH devices are versatile high voltage LED driver controllers. With the capability to be configured in a Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost (Flyback), or SEPIC topology, and an input operating voltage rating of 75V, these controllers areideal for illuminating LEDs in a very diverse, large family of applications. Adjustable high-side current sense with a typical sense voltage of 100mV 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 LM3421MH also includes an LED output status flag, a fault flag, a programmable fault timer, and a logic input to select the polarity of the dimming output driver. The LM3421MH can be applied in LED Drivers, Constant-Current Buck-Boost Regulator, Constant-Current Boost Regulator, Constant-Current Flyback Regulator, Constant-Current SEPIC Regulator, and Thermo-Electric Cooler (Peltier) Drive.
