What the LT3517IFE#PBF is and where it fits
The LT3517IFE#PBF is a DC-DC regulator LED driver from Analog Devices, part of the True Color PWM™ family. It integrates a 1.5A switch and supports both step-down (buck) and step-up (boost) topologies, making it suited for single-string LED backlight applications in displays ranging from small panels to automotive infotainment screens. The part accepts a supply from 3V to 30V, covering common 5V, 12V, and 24V rails without an external bias regulator. Operating junction temperature range is -40°C to 125°C.
