MP3412
1.1A, 1MHz Synchronous Boost
WLED Driver with Output Disconnect
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP3412 is a synchronous, fixed frequency,
high efficiency step-up WLED driver with true
output load disconnect function
in a low
profile
6-lead Thin-SOT23 package.
The MP3412 can startup from an input voltage as
low as 0.8V and provides in-rush current limiting
as well as output short circuit protection. The
open load protection is also integrated
A switching frequency of 1MHz minimizes overall
solution footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low
profile inductors and ceramic capacitors. Current
mode PWM control with internal compensation
reduces external parts, thereby saving critical
board space.
The device also features low shutdown current of
under 1µA. The true output disconnect feature
allows the output to be completely discharged in
shutdown. It also limits the inrush of current
during start-up, minimizing surge current seen by
the input supply.
The MP3412 is available in 6-pin thin SOT23
package.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature T
J
(MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature
T
A
. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by P
D
(MAX)=(T
J
(MAX)-
T
A
)/θ
JA
. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation
will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go
into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry
protects the device from permanent damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
