MP3398D
4-String, Max 350mA/String, Step-Up,
White LED Controller with
Analog and PWM Dimming
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP3398D is a step-up controller with four
current channels designed to drive WLED
arrays for large LCD panel backlighting
applications. The MP3398D allows for flexible
expansion of the number of LED channels by
two or more ICs in parallel sharing a single
inductive power source.

The MP3398D employs peak-current mode with
a fixed switching frequency. The frequency is
programmable by an external setting resistor.
The MP3398D drives an external MOSFET to
boost up the output voltage from a 5V to 28V
input supply and can regulate the current in
each LED string to the value set by an external
current-setting resistor.

The MP3398D applies four internal current
sources for current balancing. The current
matching can achieve 2.5% regulation accuracy
between strings. The low regulation voltage on
the LED current sources reduces power loss.
APPLICATIONS

Desktop LCD Flat-Panel Displays
Flat-Panel Video Displays
2D/3D LCD TVs and Monitors
The MP3398D can support both analog and
PWM dimming independently to meet different
dimming mode requests. Full protection
features include over-current protection (OCP),
over-temperature protection (OTP), under-
