5 Description (continued)

The fast slew rate current regulator allows high frequency and narrow pulse width dimming signals to achieve a very high contrast ratio of 1000:1 at a dimming frequency of more than 3 kHz. The LED current is programmable from 50 mA to 200 mA by a single resistor.

To maximize the efficiency, Dynamic Headroom Control (DHC) automatically adjusts the output voltage to a minimum. DHC also facilitates a single BOM for different number of LED in a string, which is required for backlight panels of different size, thereby reducing overall development time and cost. The LM3492/-Q1 comes with a versatile COMM pin which serves as a bidirectional I/O pin interfacing with an external MCU for the following functions: power-good, overtemperature, IOUT overvoltage and undervoltage indications, switching frequency tuning, and channel 1 disabling. Other supervisory functions of the LM3492/-Q1 include precise enable, VCC undervoltage lockout, current regulator over-power protection, and thermal shutdown protection. The LM3492/-Q1 is available in the thermally enhanced 20-pin HTSSOP package.
