Product Description
MBI1802 is an instant On/Off LED driver for high power LED applications and exploits PrecisionDrive™ and
All-Ways-On™ technology to enhance its output characteristics.
With All-Ways-On™, MBI1802 easily provides users with a consistent current source in their system design. Users
may adjust the output current up to 360 mA through an external resistor, R
ext
, which gives users flexibility in
controlling the light intensity of LEDs. Also, users can precisely adjust LED brightness from 0% to 100% via output
control with Pulse Width Modulation. Alternatively, MBI1802 provides one-step current adjustment to make a
quarter of the output current via enabling the QUAD pin as “High”.
Additionally, to ensure the system reliability, MBI1802 is built with TP (Thermal Protection) function and thermal
pad. The TP function can protect IC from over temperature (165°C) and the thermal pad can enhance the power
dissipation. As a result, a large amount of current can be handled safely in one package.

Thermal Pad
*To eliminate the noise influence, the thermal pad should be connected to GND.
In addition, desired thermal conductivity will be better if the conduction area on PCB connecting to the thermal pad
is large enough.

** Good thermal system design can ensure that the heat management of the total system (storage temperature and
