APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Schottky Rectifi er Selection
The power Schottky diode conducts current during the
interval when the switch is turned off. Select a diode rated
for the maximum SW voltage. If using the PWM feature for
dimming, it is important to consider diode leakage, which
increases with the temperature, from the output during the
PWM low interval. Therefore, choose the Schottky diode
with suffi ciently low leakage current. Table 4 has some
recommended component vendors.

Sense Resistor Selection
The resistor, R
nal NMOS FET and GND should be selected to provide
adequate switch current to drive the application without
exceeding the 108mV (typical) current limit threshold on
the SENSE pin of LT3756. For buck mode applications,
select a resistor that gives a switch current at least 30%
greater than the required LED current. For buck mode,
select a resistor according to:
For buck-boost, select a resistor according to:
For boost, select a resistor according to:

Inductor Selection
The inductor used with the LT3756 should have a saturation
current rating appropriate to the maximum switch current
selected with the R
based on operating frequency, input and output voltage to
provide a current mode signal on SENSE of approximately
20mV magnitude. The following equations are useful to
estimate the inductor value (T

Loop Compensation
The LT3756 uses an internal transconductance error ampli-
fi er whose VC output compensates the control loop. The
external inductor, output capacitor and the compensation
resistor and capacitor determine the loop stability.
The inductor and output capacitor are chosen based on
performance, size and cost. The compensation resistor
and capacitor at VC are selected to optimize control loop
response and stability. For typical LED applications, a
2.2nF compensation capacitor at VC is adequate, and
a series resistor should always be used to increase the
slew rate on the VC pin to maintain tighter regulation of
LED current during fast transients on the input supply to
the converter.
