Linear Technology
DESCRIPTION
The LT®3476 is a quad output DC/DC converter designed to operate as a constant-current source for driving high current LEDs. A fixed frequency, current mode architecture results in stable operation over a wide range of supply and output voltages. A frequency adjust pin allows the user to program switching frequency between 200kHz and 2MHz to optimize efficiency and external component size.
