DESCRIPTION
The MP4688 is a high voltage input step-down
switching regulator to deliver a constant current of
up to 1A to high power LEDs. It integrates a high-
side high voltage power MOSFET with a current
limit of 3.2A (typical value). The wide 4.5V to 80V
input range accommodates a variety of step-down
applications, making it ideal for automotive,
industry and general lighting applications.
Hysteresis current mode control is applied for
very fast response, which makes the 20kHz
dimming frequency possible. MPS’s proprietary
feedback control scheme minimizes the number
of external components while delivering a LED
current with typical ±5% accuracy.
The switching frequency is up to 2MHz, thus
allowing for small component size. The thermal
shut down, short circuit protection, and optional
output voltage limitation provide reliable, fault
tolerant operations. A 170µA quiescent current
allows its use in battery-powered applications.
The MP4688 is available in SOIC8 and SOIC8
with exposed pad packages.
