LM3429 Buck-Boost
Evaluation Board
Introduction
This wide range evaluation board showcases the LM3429
NFET controller used with a buck-boost current regulator. It
is designed to drive 4 to 8 LEDs at a maximum average LED
current of 1A from a DC input voltage of 10 to 70V.
The evaluation board showcases most features of the
LM3429 including PWM dimming, overvoltage protection and
input under-voltage lockout. It also has a right angle connec-
tor (J7) which can mate with an external LED load board
allowing for the LEDs to be mounted close to the driver. Al-
ternatively, the LED+ and LED- banana jacks can be used to
connect the LED load.
The buck-boost circuit can be easily redesigned for different
specifications by changing only a few components (see the
Alternate Designs section found at the end of this application
note). Note that design modifications can change the system
efficiency for better or worse. See the LM3429 datasheet for
a comprehensive explanation of the device and application
information.
