DESCRIPTION

The MP3387L is a step-up converter with 6-

channel current sources. It is designed for

driving the white LED arrays as backlighting of

middle or large size LCD panel.

The MP3387L uses peak-current mode as its

PWM

control

architecture.

The

switching

frequency can be programmed by a resistor. It

generates an output voltage up to 45V from a

3V to 26V input supply. The MP3387L

independently regulates the current in each

LED string to the value set by an external

current-setting resistor.

The MP3387L applies 6 internal current

sources in each LED string terminal to achieve

a current balance with 3% current regulation

accuracy between strings. Its low 500mV

regulation voltage on LED current sources

reduces power loss.

The MP3387L features external digital PWM

dimming and analog dimming, both of which

sharing a single input with 25% PWM duty cycle

as a transfer point. The mix-dimming strategy

helps to improve the dimming ratio. Also,

MP3387L automatically transfers the PWM

input signal 100Hz to 20kHz frequency to

24kHz to 27.5kHz to eliminate the audible noise.

MP3387L

has rich protection modes to

guarantee safety operation. The protection

modes include recoverable OCP (over-current

protection), OVP (over-voltage protection), OTP

(over-temperature protection), any string of LED

short and open protection.

The

MP3387L

is

available

in

TQFN24-

4mmX4mm package.
