High Efficiency and Small Size
4.5V to 25V Input Voltage Range
50V Maximum Step-up Voltage
Balanced Driver for 4 Strings of WLED
2.5% Current Matching Accuracy Between
Strings
Selectable Switching Frequency: 1.25MHz or
625kHz
PWM Dimming
Programmable Over-voltage Protection
Under Voltage Lockout
Open and Short LED Protection
Thermal Shutdown
The MP3384 uses current mode, fixed frequency
architecture. The switching frequency can be
selected at 1.25MHz or 625kHz. It generates an
output voltage up to 50V from a 4.5V to 25V input
supply. The MP3384 independently regulates the
current in each LED string to the user programmed
value set by an external current setting resistor.

The MP3384 applies 4 internal current sources to
achieve a current balance of 2.5% regulation
accuracy between strings. Its low 600mV
regulation voltage on LED current sources reduces
power loss and improves efficiency.
