MP3202
1.3A Fixed Frequency
White LED Driver
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP3202 is a step-up converter designed for
driving up to 39 white LEDs (13 strings of 3 LEDs
each) from a 5V system rail. The MP3202 uses a
current mode, fixed frequency architecture to
regulate the LED current, which is measured
through an external current sense resistor. Its low
104mV feedback voltage reduces power loss and
improves efficiency. The OV pin monitors the
output voltage and turns off the converter if an
over-voltage condition is present due to an open
circuit condition.
The MP3202 includes under-voltage lockout,
current limiting and thermal overload protection
preventing damage in the event of an output
overload.
The MP3202 is available in small 6-pin TSOT23
or 8-pin QFN (2mm x 2mm) packages.

of the LED string to GND. Connect the bottom of the LED string to FB. The
regulation voltage is 104mV.
Regulator On/Off Control Input. A high input at EN turns on the converter, and a
low input turns it off. When not used, connect EN to the input source for automatic
startup.
The EN pin cannot be left floating.
Over Voltage Input. OV measures the output voltage for open circuit protection.
Connect OV to the output at the top of the LED string.
Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed.
No Connect.

MP3202 – 1.3A FIXED FREQUENCY WHITE LED DRIVER
OPERATION
The MP3202 uses a constant frequency, peak
current mode boost regulator architecture to
regulate the strings of white LEDs. Refer to the
block diagram in Figure 1 for details.
At the start of each oscillator cycle the FET is
turned on through the control circuitry. To
prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles
greater than 50%, a stabilizing ramp is added to
the output of the current sense amplifier and the
result is fed into the positive input of the PWM
comparator. When this voltage equals the
output voltage of the error amplifier the power
FET is turned off.
The voltage at the output of the error amplifier
is an amplified version of the difference
between the 104mV reference voltage and the
feedback voltage. In this way the peak current
level keeps the output in regulation.
If the feedback voltage starts to drop, the output
of the error amplifier increases. This results in
more current flowing through the power FET,
thus increasing the power delivered to the
output.

Figure 2—Circuit for Driving 27 WLEDs
A typical application circuit is provided in Figure
2. The 27 white LEDs can be driven from a
voltage supply range of 4V to 6V at a total
output current of 180mA. A 2.2µF output
capacitor is sufficient for most applications but
up to 1µF may be used. A 10µH inductor with
low DCR (inductor resistance) is recommended
to improve efficiency. A 4.7µF ceramic
capacitor is recommended for the input
capacitance in the real system. Schottky diodes
with fast recovery and a low forward voltage are
recommended. Schottky diodes with a 500mA
rating are sufficient for the MP3202. The
switching
characteristics
during
normal
operation can be seen in Figure 3. The MP3202
has internal soft-start to limit the amount of
current through the IN pin at startup and to also
limit the amount of overshoot on the output. The
current limit is increased by a fourth every 40µs
giving a total soft-start time of 120µs.

Figure 3—Steady State Operation
Figure 4 shows the startup behavior of the
MP3202. The ramped voltage added to the
current sense amplifier reduces the current
output as the duty cycle increases. As more
LEDs are added, the output voltage rises but
the current that can be delivered to the load is
reduced as well.
