Constant-current LED Driver
Universal AC Input (85VAC-305VAC)
Power MOSFET Zero-Current Turn On
High Efficiency Boundary Mode Operation
Integrated High-voltage Smart LDO
Low 1mA Operation Current
PWM or DC Input Burst Dimming Control
Hiccup Short Circuit Protection
Maxim Frequency Limited to 110kHz
Thermal Shutdown
The MP4001 drives external MOSFET with
boundary conduction mode which features no
reverse recovery loss in the freewheeling diode,
soft turn on with zero-current and valley voltage
for the power MOSFET. Such operation mode
can achieve very high efficiency and in the
same time minimize the inductor value and size.
With the boundary conduction control mode, the
LED current can be well regulated by control
the MOSFET peak current which is sensed
through an external resistor. Its low 300mV
feedback voltage reduces power loss and
improves the efficiency.
Available in SOIC8 Package

Non-Isolated Lighting
General Illumination
Industrial Lighting
Automotive/ Decorative LED Lighting
LCD TV Backlighting
The MP4001 integrates a high-voltage smart
LDO, which allows the AC input to power up the
IC directly. The smart LDO sinks current when
the input voltage is lower than 24V to achieve
higher efficiency.
DC/DC or AC/DC LED Driver Applications
