MP3378E
4-Channel WLED Controller
with High-Efficiency Buck Converter
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP3378E is a one-chip solution specially
designed for monitor applications. The
MP3378E includes a step-up WLED controller
with four current channels for backlighting, and
a high-efficiency buck converter for internal bus
voltage or standby power.
WLED Controller:
4-String,
Controller
Max
350mA/String,
WLED
Up to 24V Input Voltage Range
2.5% Current Matching Accuracy
Programmable Switching Frequency
PWM and Analog Dimming Mode
LED Open and Short Protection
Programmable Over-Voltage Protection
Recoverable Thermal Shutdown Protection
Over-Current Protection
The 4-string WLED controller drives an external
MOSFET to boost up the output voltage from
the input supply. It regulates the current in each
LED string to the programmed value set by an
external current setting resistor. It supports both
analog and PWM dimming independently to
meet special dimming mode requests. Full
protection features for the WLED controller
include OCP, OTP, UVP, OVP, LED short/open
protection, and inductor/diode short protection.
Over-Temperature Protection
Inductor/Diode Short Protection
Buck Converter:
144mΩ/80mΩ Low RDS(ON) Internal Power
MOSFETs
The high-efficiency buck converter operates in
the current mode operation with a built-in
MOSFET and a built-in synchronous rectifier. It
offers a very compact solution to achieve
excellent load and line regulation. Full
protection features for the buck converter
include OCP and thermal shutdown.
Low Quiescent Current
Fixed 235kHz Switching Frequency
Frequency Sync from 250kHz to 2MHz
External Clock
Internal Soft Start
OCP and Hiccup Mode
The MP3378E is available in a TSSOP-28 EP
package.
Over-Temperature Protection
Output Adjustable from 0.8V
