DESCRIPTION
The EV1517 is the evaluation board used to demonstrate the white LED driver capabilities of the MP1517. The low 0.7V feedback voltage offers higher efficiency in white LED driver applications including cell phone camera flash. Soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and input under voltage lockout prevent overstressing or damage to sensitive external circuitry at startup and output short-circuit conditions. Current-mode regulation and external compensation components allow the MP1517 control loop to be optimized over a wide variety of input voltages, output voltages and load current conditions.
