Overvoltage Protection

The LED driver of the LT3498 has an internal open-circuit

protection circuit. In the cases of output open circuit, when

the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit or the LEDs

fail open-circuit, VCAP1 is clamped at 27V (typ). The LED

driver will then switch at a very low frequency to minimize

input current. The VCAP1 and input current during output

open-circuit are shown in the Typical Performance Char-

acteristics. Figure 3 shows the transient response when

the LEDs are disconnected.

Inrush Current

The LT3498 LED Driver has a built-in Schottky diode.

When supply voltage is applied to the VIN pin, an inrush

current ﬂows through the inductor and Schottky diode

and charges up the CAP1 voltage. The Schottky diode

for the LED Driver of the LT3498 can sustain a maximum

current of 1A.

For low DCR inductors, which are usually the case for this

application, the peak inrush current can be simpliﬁed as

follows:

where L is the inductance, r is the DCR of the inductor

and C is the output capacitance.

selections.
