LM3502
Step-Up Converter for White LED Applications
General Description
The LM3502 is a white LED driver for lighting applications.
For dual display or large single white LED string backlighting
applications, the LM3502 provides a complete solution. The
LM3502 contains two internal white LED current bypass
FET(Field Effect Transitor) switches that are ideal for con-
trolling dual display applications. The white LED current can
be adjusted with a PWM signal directly from a microcontrol-
ler without the need of an RC filter network.
With no external compensation, cycle-by-cycle current limit,
over-voltage protection, and under-voltage protection, the
LM3502 offers superior performance over other application
specific standard product step-up white LED drivers.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Electrical characteristic specifications do not apply when
operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin.
Note 3: Current flows into the pin.
Note 4: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA,
and the ambient temperature, TA. See Thermal Properties for the thermal resistance. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is
calculated using: PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) – TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature. For more information
on this topic, please refer to Application Note 1187: Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) and Application Note 1112 (AN1112) for microSMD chip scale package.
Note 5: The on threshold indicates that the LM3502 is no longer switching or regulating LED current, while the off threshold indicates normal operation.
Note 6: All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
Note 7: Min and Max limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers are not guaranteed, but do represent the most likely norm.
Note 8: Current flows out of the pin.
