MP3371
8-Channel, Synchronous, 50V
Boost WLED Driver with I2C Interface
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP3371 is a synchronous boost converter
with eight current channels designed to drive
WLED arrays for LCD panels in tablets and
notebook backlighting applications.
8 Channels with Max 50mA/Channel
Synchronous Converter with 50V LS-FET/HS-
FET 155m/235mΩ On Resistance
3V to 30V Input Voltage Range
470mV LED Regulation Voltage at 20mA
Max 2.5% Current Matching
350kHz, 500kHz, 650kHz, 800kHz, 950kHz,
or 1.2MHz Selectable Switching Frequency
A1 Pins for Two I2C Addresses
The MP3371 uses peak current control mode
and pulse-width modulation (PWM) control to
maintain boost converter regulation. The
MP3371 employs a standard I2C digital interface
to set the operation mode, switching frequency,
full-scale current for each channel, sync or non-
sync mode, dimming mode and duty, and
various protection thresholds.
0mA to 50mA Full-Scale LED Current, 8 Bits,
0.196mA/Step
Selectable Sync or Non-Sync Mode
Multi-Dimming Operation Mode Including:
o Analog Dimming through External PWM
Input or I2C Interface, 10-Bit Resolution
o PWM Dimming through External PWM
Input or I2C Interface, 14-Bit Resolution
o Mixed Dimming Mode through External
PWM Input or I2C Interface with 6.25%,
12.5%, 25%, or 50% Transfer Point, 14-
Bit PWM Duty Resolution
The MP3371 features high efficiency due to low-
headroom voltage for LED regulation and a small
on resistance of the switching MOSFET. The
synchronous rectifier saves PCB size and total
BOM cost.
The MP3371 is available in a QFN-24
(4mmx4mm) package.
Linear Smooth Dimming with 2µs, 4µs, 8µs,
16µs, 32µs, 64µs, or 128µs Step-Slope Set
LED Short/Open, OTP, OCP, Inductor, or
Diode Short Protection
o 2.5V/5V/7.5V/10V LED Short Threshold
o 24V/31V/37.5V/45V OVP Threshold
o 1.8A/2.5A Current Limit
Cascade Function to Share Power Stage
Available in a QFN-24 (4mmx4mm) Package
