MAQ3203
High-Brightness LED Driver Controller
with High-Side Current Sense
General Description
The MAQ3203 is a hysteretic, step-down, constant-
current, High-Brightness LED (HB LED) driver. It provides
an ideal solution for interior/exterior lighting, architectural
and ambient lighting, LED bulbs, and other general
illumination applications.
The MAQ3203 is well suited for lighting applications
requiring a wide-input voltage range. The hysteretic control
gives good supply rejection and fast response during load
transients and PWM dimming. The high-side current
sensing and on-chip current-sense amplifier delivers LED
current with
±5%
accuracy. An external high-side current-
sense resistor is used to set the output current.
The MAQ3203 offers a dedicated PWM input (DIM) which
enables a wide range of pulsed dimming. A high-frequency
switching operation up to 1.5MHz allows the use of smaller
external components minimizing space and cost. The
MAQ3203 offers frequency dither feature for EMI control.
The MAQ3203 operates over a junction temperature from
−40°C
to
+125°C
and is available in an 8-pin SOIC
package. The MAQ3203 is AEC-Q100 qualified for
automotive applications.

Pin Description
Pin Number
Pin Name
Pin Function
Voltage Regulator Output. The V
CC
pin supplies the power to the internal circuitry. The VCC is the
output of a linear regulator which is powered from VIN. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for
bypassing and should be placed as close as possible to the VCC and AGND pins. Do not connect to
an external load.
Current-Sense Input. The CS pin provides the high-side current sense to set the LED current with an
external sense resistor.
Input Power Supply. VIN is the input supply pin to the internal circuitry and the positive input to the
current sense comparator. Due to the high frequency switching noise, a 10µF ceramic capacitor is
recommended to be placed as close as possible to VIN and the power ground (PGND) pin for
bypassing. Please refer to layout recommendations.
Ground pin for analog circuitry. Internal signal ground for all low power sections.
Enable Input. The EN pin provides a logic level control of the output and the voltage has to be 2.0V or
higher to enable the current regulator. The output stage is gated by the DIM pin. When the EN pin is
pulled low, the regulator goes to off state and the supply current of the device is greatly reduced
(below 1µA). In the off state, during this period the output drive is placed in a "tri-stated" condition,
where MOSFET is in an “off” or non-conducting state. Do not drive the EN pin above the supply
voltage.
PWM Dimming Input. The DIM pin provides the control for brightness of the LED. A PWM input can
be used to control the brightness of LED. DIM high enables the output and its voltage has to be at
least 2.0V or higher. DIM low disables the output, regardless of EN “high” state.
Power Ground Pin for Power FET. Power Ground (PGND) is for the high-current switching with
hysteretic mode. The current loop for the power ground should be as small as possible and separate
from the Analog ground (AGND) loop. Refer to the layout considerations for more details.
Gate-Drive Output. Connect to the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET. The drain of the external
MOSFET connects directly to the inductor and provides the switching current necessary to operate in
hysteretic mode. Due to the high frequency switching and high voltage associated with this pin, the
switch node should be routed away from sensitive nodes.
