MP3394
The Future of Analog IC Technology
Step-up, 4-String
Max 200mA/String White LED Driver
DESCRIPTION
The MP3394 is a step-up controller with 4-
channel current sources designed for driving
the WLED arrays for large size LCD panel
backlighting applications.
The MP3394 is
flexible for extending LED channels with two or
more MP3394s in parallel while operating from
a single inductor power source.
The MP3394 uses current mode, fixed
frequency architecture. The switching frequency
is programmable by an external frequency
setting resistor. It drives an external MOSFET
to boost up the output voltage from a 5V to 28V
input supply. The MP3394 regulates the current
in each LED string to the programmed value set
by an external current setting resistor.
The MP3394 applies 4 internal current sources
for current balance and the current matching
can achieve 2.5% regulation accuracy between
strings. Its low 350mV regulation voltage on
LED current sources reduces power loss and
improves efficiency.
PWM dimming is implemented with external
PWM input signal or DC input signal. The
dimming PWM signal can be generated
internally and the dimming frequency is
programmed by an external setting capacitor.

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
operation conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Description
Step-up Converter Compensation Pin. This pin is used to compensate the
regulation control loop. Connect a ceramic capacitor from COMP to GND.
Enable Control Input. Do not let this pin float.
Brightness Control Input. To use external PWM dimming mode, apply a
PWM signal on this pin for brightness control. To use DC input PWM
dimming mode, apply a DC voltage range from 0.2V to 1.2V on this pin
linearly to set the internal dimming duty cycle from 0% to 100%. The MP3394
has positive dimming polarity on DBRT.

Switching Frequency Set. Connect a resistor between OSC and GND to set
the step-up converter switching frequency. The voltage at this pin is
OSC
regulated to 1.23V. The clock frequency is proportional to the current
sourced from this pin.
LED Current Set. Tie a current setting resistor from this pin to ground to
program the current in each LED string. This pin voltage is regulated to
ISET
1.23V. The LED current is proportional to the current through the ISET
resistor.
Dimming Repetition Set. This is the timing pin for the oscillator to set the
dimming frequency. To use DC input PWM dimming mode, connect a
capacitor from this pin to GND to set the internal dimming frequency. A saw-
BOSC
tooth waveform is generated on this pin. To use external PWM dimming
mode, connect a resistor from this pin to GND, and apply the PWM signal on
DBRT pin.

LED String 3 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal
dimming control switch. Connect the LED String 3 cathode to this pin.
LED String 2 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal
dimming control switch. Connect the LED String 2 cathode to this pin.
LED String 1 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal
dimming control switch. Connect the LED String 1 cathode to this pin.
Over-voltage Protection Input. Connect a resistor divider from output to this
pin to program the OVP threshold. When this pin voltage reaches 1.23V, the
MP3394 triggers Over Voltage Protection mode.
