THEORY OF OPERATION
The LM3405A is a PWM, current-mode controled buck
switching regulator designed to provide a simple, high effi-
ciency solution for driving LEDs with a preset switching fre-
quency of 1.6MHz. This high frequency allows the LM3405A
to operate with small surface mount capacitors and inductors,
resulting in LED drivers that need only a minimum amount of
board space. The LM3405A is internally compensated, sim-
ple to use, and requires few external components.
The following description of operation of the LM3405A will re-
fer to the Simplified Block Diagram (Figure 1) and to the
waveforms in Figure 2. The LM3405A supplies a regulated
output current by switching the internal NMOS power switch
at constant frequency and variable duty cycle. A switching
cycle begins at the falling edge of the reset pulse generated
by the internal oscillator. When this pulse goes low, the output
control logic turns on the internal NMOS power switch. During
this on-time, the SW pin voltage (V

generates an output proportional to the switch current. The
sense signal is summed with the regulator’s corrective ramp
and compared to the error amplifier’s output, which is propor-
tional to the difference between the feedback voltage and

ternal power switch turns off until the next switching cycle
begins. During the switch off-time, inductor current dis-
charges through the catch diode D1, which forces the SW pin
to swing below ground by the forward voltage (V
catch diode. The regulator loop adjusts the duty cycle (D) to
maintain a constant output current (I
