LM3429 Boost Evaluation
Board
Introduction
This evaluation board showcases the LM3429 NFET con-
troller used with a boost current regulator. It is designed to
drive 9 to 12 LEDs at a maximum average LED current of 1A
from a DC input voltage of 10 to 26V.
The evaluation board showcases most features of the
LM3429 including PWM dimming, overvoltage protection and
input under-voltage lockout. It also has a right angle connec-
tor (J7) which can mate with an external LED load board
allowing for the LEDs to be mounted close to the driver. Al-
ternatively, the LED+ and LED- banana jacks can be used to
connect the LED load.
The boost circuit can be easily redesigned for different spec-
ifications by changing only a few components (see the Alter-
nate Designs section found at the end of this application note).
Note that design modifications can change the system effi-
ciency for better or worse. See the LM3429 datasheet for a
comprehensive explanation of the device and application in-
formation.
