MP3388S
50V, 8-String, Step-Up, White LED Driver
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP3388S is a step-up converter with 8
current-source channels designed to drive arrays
of white LED for LCD-panel backlighting
applications.
High Efficiency
Compact Size
4.3V-to-25V Input Voltage Range
50V Maximum Step-Up Voltage
Balanced Driver for 8 WLED Strings
2.5% Current-Matching Accuracy between
Strings
Selectable Switching Frequency of 625kHz
or 1.25MHz
PWM or DC Input-Burst PWM Dimming
Programmable Over-Voltage Protection
Under-Voltage Lockout
The
MP3388S
uses
current-mode,
fixed-frequency architecture, and users can select
a switching frequency of either 625kHz or
1.25MHz. It generates an output voltage up to
50V from a 4.3V-to-25V input supply. The
MP3388S independently regulates the current in
each LED string set by an external current setting
resistor to a user-programmed value.
Open- and Short-LED Protection
Thermal Shutdown
Small QFN24 (4mm × 4mm) Package
The MP3388S applies an internal current source
to each LED string terminal, and can 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.
APPLICATIONS
Notebook PCs
Tablet Computers
Small LCD TV
Handheld Terminal Displays
Automotive Electronics Equipments
The MP3388S features external PWM dimming or
DC-input PWM dimming, which allows for flexible
backlight luminance control. The dimming PWM
signal can be generated internally, and the
dimming frequency is programmed by an external
setting capacitor.
