DESCRIPTION
The MP3389 is a step-up controller with 12-
channel current sources designed for driving
the WLED arrays for large size LCD panel
backlighting applications.
The MP3389 uses current mode, fixed frequency
architecture. The switching frequency is
programmable by an external frequency setting
resistor. It drives an external MOSFET to boost
up the output voltage from a 5V to 28V input
supply. The MP3389 regulates the current in
each LED string to the programmed value set by
an external current setting resistor.
The MP3389 applies 12 internal current
sources for current balance. And the current
matching can achieve 2.5% regulation accuracy
between strings. Its low 550mV regulation
voltage on LED current sources reduces power
loss and improves efficiency.
PWM dimming is implemented with external
PWM input signal or DC input signal. The
dimming PWM signal can be generated internally,
and the dimming frequency is programmed by
an external setting capacitor.
