MILPITAS, CA – December 15, 2009 – Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3492, a 2.1MHz DC/DC converter designed to operate as a three-channel constant current LED driver. Each of the LT3492’s three channels can drive up to ten 300mA LEDs in series, enabling it to drive up to 30 x 300mA LEDs at efficiencies up to 96%. All three channels are operated by an independent True Color PWM^TM signal, enabling each to be dimmed independently to ratios as high as 3,000:1. A fixed frequency, current mode architecture ensures stable operation over a wide range of supply and output voltages. A frequency … Read More → "Triple Output LED Driver Drives Up to 30 x 300mA LEDs & Offers 3000:1 True Color PWM Dimming"
