DESCRIPTION

The MP3384 is a step-up converter with 4-channel current sources designed for driving the white LED arrays for large size LCD panel backlighting applications. The MP3384 uses current mode, fixed frequency architecture. The switching frequency can be selected at 1.25MHz or 625kHz. It generates an output voltage up to 50V from a 4.5V to 25V input supply. The MP3384 independently regulates the current in each LED string to the user programmed value set by an external current setting resistor. The MP3384 applies 4 internal current sources to achieve a current balance of 2.5% regulation accuracy between strings. Its low 600mV regulation voltage on LED current sources reduces power loss and improves efficiency. The MP3384 includes under voltage lockout, current limiting, over voltage, short LED, open LED and thermal shut-down protection. The MP3384 is available in small QFN16 (3mmx 3mm) package.

Unauthorized Photocopy and Duplication Prohibited. © 2013 MPS. All Rights Reserved. OPERATION The MP3384 employs a constant frequency, peak current mode step-up converter and 4-channels regulated current sources to regulate the array of 4 strings white LEDs. The operation of the MP3384 can be understood by referring to the block diagram of Figure 1. Internal 5V Regulator The MP3384 includes an internal linear regulator (VCC). When VIN is greater than 5.5V, this regulator offers a 5V power supply for the internal MOSFET switch gate driver and the internal control circuitry. The VCC voltage drops to 0V when the chip shuts down. In the application of VIN lower than 5.5V, tie VCC and VIN together. The MP3384 features Under Voltage Lockout. The chip is disabled until VCC exceeds the UVLO threshold. And the hysteresis of UVLO is approximately 200mV. System Startup When the MP3384 is enabled, the chip checks the topology connection first. the chip monitors the OVP pin to see if the Schottky diode is not connected. If the OVP voltage is lower than 70mV, the chip will be disabled. The MP3384 will also check other safety limits, including UVLO and OTP after the OVP test is passed. If they are all in function, it then starts boosting the step-up converter with an internal soft-start. It is recommended on the start up sequence that the enable signal comes after input voltage and PWM dimming signal established. Step-up Converter The converter operation frequency is selectable (1.25MHz or 625kHz), which is helpful for optimizing the external components sizes and improving the efficiency. At the beginning of each cycle, the power FET is turned on with the internal clock. To prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles greater than 50 percent, a stabilizing ramp is added to the output of the current sense amplifier and the result is fed into the PWM comparator. When this result voltage reaches the output voltage of the error amplifier (V COMP) the power FET is turned off. The voltage at the output of the internal error amplifier is an amplified signal of the difference between the 600mV reference voltage and the feedback voltage. The converter automatically chooses the lowest active LEDX pin voltage for providing enough bus voltage to power all the LED arrays. If the feedback voltage drops below the 600mV reference, the output of the error amplifier increases. It results in more current flowing through the power FET, thus increasing the power delivered to the output. In this way it forms a close loop to make the output voltage in regulation. At light-load or Vout near to Vin operation, the converter runs into the pulse-skipping mode, the FET is turned on for a minimum on-time of approximately 100ns, and then the converter discharges the power to the output in the remnant period. The FET will keep off until the output voltage needs to be boosted again. Dimming Control The MP3384 provides PWM Dimming mode with external PWM signal on PWM pin. The method results in PWM chopping of the current in the LEDs for all 4 channels to provide LED control. The brightness of the LED array is proportional to the duty cycle of the PWM signal. Open String Protection The open string protection is achieved through the over voltage protection. If one or more strings are open, the respective LEDX pins are pulled to ground and the IC keeps charging the output voltage until it reach OVP threshold. Then the part will mark off the open strings whose LEDX pin voltage are less than 180mV. Once the mark-off operation completes, the remaining LED strings will force the output voltage back into tight regulation. The string with the highest voltage drop is the ruling string during output regulation. The MP3384 always tries to light at least one string and if all strings in use are open, the MP3384 shuts down the step-up converter. The

Short String Protection The MP3384 monitors the LEDX pin voltage to judge if the short string condition occurs. If one or more strings are short, the respective LEDX pins will be pulled up to the boost output and tolerate high voltage stress. If the LEDX pin voltage is higher than 5.5V, the short string condition is detected on the respective string. When the short string fault (LEDX over-voltage fault) continues for greater than 1.6ms, the string is marked off and disabled. Once a string is marked off, its current regulation is forced to disconnect from the output voltage loop regulation. The marked-off LED strings will be shut off totally until the part restarts. If all strings in use are short, the MP3384 will shut down the step-up converter.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Selecting the Switching Frequency The switching frequency of the step-up converter can be selected to 1.25MHz or 625kHz. A bi-level Switching Frequency Selection (OSC) input sets the internal oscillator frequency for the step-up converter. When connects OSC pin to GND, the switching frequency is set to 625kHz, when floats the OSC pin or connects it to VCC, the frequency is set to 1.25MHz. Setting the LED Current The LED string currents are identical and set through the current setting resistor on the ISET pin. ILED = 1000 x 1.21V / RSET For RSET=60.4kΩ, the LED current is set to 20mA. The ISET pin can not be open. Setting the Over Voltage Protection The open string protection is achieved through the over voltage protection (OVP). In some cases, an LED string failure results in the feedback voltage always zero. The part then keeps boosting the output voltage higher and higher. If the output voltage reaches the programmed OVP threshold, the protection will be triggered. To make sure the chip functions properly, the OVP setting resistor divider must be set to a proper value. The recommended OVP point is about 1.3 times of the output voltage for normal operation. V OVP=1.23V*(R1+R2)/R2 PWM Dimming Mode The MP3384 provides PWM dimming mode with external PWM signal on PWM pin. An external PWM dimming signal is directly employed to achieve PWM dimming control. Apply the 100Hz to 2kHz PWM dimming signal to PWM pin. The minimum recommended amplitude of the PWM signal is 1.5V (See Figure 2). VCC PWM MP3384 PWM Dimming 100Hz~2kHz Figure 2— PWM Dimming Selecting the Inductor A 22μH (for 1.25MHz switching frequency) /47uH (for 625kHz switching frequency) inductor with a DC current rating of at least 40% higher than the maximum input current is recommended for most applications. For highest efficiency, the inductor’s DC resistance should be as small as possible. Selecting the Input Capacitor The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input supply and the switching noise from the device. The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency should be less than the input source impedance to prevent high frequency switching current from passing through the input. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended because of their low ESR and small temperature coefficients. For most applications, a 4.7 μF capacitor is sufficient. Selecting the Output Capacitor The output capacitor keeps the output voltage ripple small and ensures feedback loop stability. The output capacitor impedance should be low at the switching frequency. Ceramic capacitors with X7R dielectrics are recommended for their low ESR characteristics. For most applications, a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor is sufficient.
