DESCRIPTION
The MP3384L is a step-up converter to control up
to 4 white LED strings for LCD backlighting.
The MP3384L employs a fixed-switching frequency
that can be selected from either 625kHz or
1.25MHz. It takes a 3V-to-25V input supply: The
low-end input voltage allows the MP3384L to power
a tablet display from a single battery.
The MP3384L has 4 internal current sources to
independently regulate the current in each LED
string to a value set by an external, current-setting
resistor. It achieves current balance within 2.5%
regulation accuracy between strings. Its low
600mV regulation voltage for the LED current
sources reduces power loss and improves
efficiency.
The MP3384L features multiple protections,
including under-voltage lockout, MOSFET current
limiting, over-voltage protection, open/short LED
protection, and thermal shut-down.
The MP3384L is available in a 3mm×3mm QFN16
package.
