LM3697: Use with RGB LEDs?

Part Number: LM3697
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LP5009, TPS54201

Hello,

Can this device be used with RGB LEDs? I.e. channel 1 red, channel 2 green, channel 3 blue. Or will there be an issue because of the difference in voltage drops?

Thanks,

Michael

  • Hi Michael,

        It is not recommended to use LM3697 for RGB LED application since it will have high power loss when each channel has a different LED count. And it also can't achieve independently control. I would suggest with our LP5009 or TPS54201*3.
