MCP1662
High-Voltage Step-Up LED Driver with UVLO and Open Load Protection
Features
General Description
• 36V, 800 m Integrated Switch
• Up to 92% Efficiency
The MCP1662 device is a compact, space-efficient,
fixed-frequency, non-synchronous step-up converter
optimized to drive LED strings with constant current
from a two- or three-cell alkaline or lithium Energizer®,
or NiMH/NiCd, or one-cell Lithium-Ion or Li-Polymer
batteries.
• Drive LED Strings in Constant Current
• 1.3A Peak Input Current Limit:
- ILED up to 200 mA @ 5.0V VIN, 4 White LEDs
- ILED up to 125 mA @ 3.3V VIN, 4 White LEDs
- ILED up to 100 mA @ 4.2V VIN, 8 White LEDs
• Input Voltage Range: 2.4V to 5.5V
• Feedback Voltage Reference: VFB = 300 mV
• Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO):
The device integrates a 36V, 800 m low-side switch,
which is protected by the 1.3A cycle-by-cycle inductor
peak current limit operation. All compensation and pro-
tection circuitry is integrated to minimize the number of
external components.
The internal feedback (VFB) voltage is set to 300 mV for
low power dissipation when sensing and regulating the
LED current. A single resistor sets the LED current.
- UVLO @ VIN Rising: 2.3V, typical
- UVLO @ VIN Falling: 1.85V, typical
• Sleep Mode with 20 nA Typical Quiescent Current
• PWM Operation: 500 kHz Switching Frequency
• Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting
The device features an Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
that avoids start-up with low inputs or discharged bat-
teries for two-cell-powered applications.
• Internal Compensation
There is an open load protection (OLP) which turns off
the operation in situations when the LED string is acci-
dentally disconnected or the feedback pin is short-cir-
cuited to GND.
• Open Load Protection (OLP) in the Event of:
- Feedback pin shorted to GND (prevent
excessive current into LEDs)
- Disconnected LED string (prevent overvoltage
to the converter’s Output and SW pin)
For standby applications (EN = GND), the device stops
switching, enters into Sleep mode and consumes
20 nA typical of input current.
• Overtemperature Protection
