LM3407
350 mA, Constant Current Output Floating Buck Switching
Converter for High Power LEDs
General Description
The LM3407 is a constant current output floating buck switch-
ing converter designed to provide constant current to high
power LEDs. The device is ideal for automotive, industrial and
general lighting applications. The LM3407 has an integrated
power N-MOSFET that makes the application solution com-
pact and simple to implement. An external 1% thick-film re-
sistor allows the converter output voltage to adjust as needed
to deliver constant current within 10% accuracy to a serially
connected LED string of varying number and type. Converter
switching frequency is adjustable from 300 kHz to 1 MHz. The
LM3407 features a dimming input to enable LED brightness
control by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Additionally, a
separate enable pin allows for low power shutdown. An ex-
posed pad eMSOP-8 package provides excellent heat dissi-
pation and thermal performance. Input UVLO and output
open-circuit protection ensure a robust LED driver solution.
