DESCRIPTION
The MP3302 is a step-up converter designed for
driving arrays of WLEDS from a single cell
Lithium Ion battery. The MP3302 uses current
mode, fixed frequency architecture to regulate the
LED current, which is measured through an
external current sense resistor. Its low 200mV
feedback voltage
loss and
improves efficiency. The MP3302 is turned off if
an over-voltage condition is present due to an
open circuit condition.
The MP3302 includes under-voltage lockout,
current limiting and thermal overload protection
preventing damage in the event of an output
overload.
The MP3302 is available in small 5-pin TSOT23
and 8-pin QFN (2mm x 3mm) packages.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ
(MAX)-TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the
regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects
from permanent
damage.

MP3302 –40V, 1.3A, SINGLE-CELL STEP-UP WHITE LED DRIVER WITH SINGLE WIRE DIMMING CONTROL
OPERATION
The MP3302 uses a constant frequency, peak
current mode boost regulator architecture to
regulate the series string of white LEDs. The
operation of the MP3302 can be understood by
referring to the block diagram of Figure 1.
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 percent, 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 200mV 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.

A typical application circuit can be seen in
Figure 2. The 9 strings of 3 white LEDs can be
driven from a voltage supply range of 3.3V to
6V at an output current of 180mA. A 0.47µF

for most
applications. A 4.7µH inductor with low DCR
(Inductor DC resistance) is recommended to
improve efficiency. A 10µF ceramic capacitor is
recommended for the input capacitance in the
real system. Schottky diodes have fast recovery
and a
voltage and are
recommended. Schottky diodes
rated with
500mA are sufficient for the MP3302. The
MP3302 has internal soft-start to limit the
amount of current through VIN at startup and to
also limit the amount of overshoot on the output.
The ramped voltage that is 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.

Setting the LED Current
The LED current is controlled by the feedback
resistor, R1. The current through the LEDs is
given by the equation 200mV/R1. Table 1
shows the selection of resistors for a given LED
current.

MP3302 –40V, 1.3A, SINGLE-CELL STEP-UP WHITE LED DRIVER WITH SINGLE WIRE DIMMING CONTROL
LED Current Programming
Applying a DC voltage between 0.7V and 1.4V
to EN pin programs a
feedback voltage
between 0V and 200mV. Thus the analog
dimming of LED current can be achieved. The
DC dimming voltage must be locally bypassed
to prevent noise interfering with the feedback
reference level.
PWM Dimming
Apply a 200Hz to 1kHz square waveform to the
EN pin to implement PWM dimming of the
LEDs. The minimum recommended amplitude
of the PWM signal is 1.5V.
For high frequency PWM dimming (>1kHz), it is
also recommended that the dimming control be
implemented as shown in Figure 3. The cut off
frequency of the RC filter should be 10 times
lower than that of the input PWM signal. For
example, when the PWM frequency is 20kHz, a
20kΩ resistor and 100nF capacitor can be used.
The DC voltage on EN pin is then equal to the
PWM high level voltage multiplies the PWM
duty. The DC voltage from 0.7V to 1.4V
programs the output current from 0~100%.

Open Load Protection
Open Load protection will shut off the MP3302
if the output voltage goes too high. In some
cases an LED may fail, this will result in the
feedback voltage always being zero. The part
will run at maximum duty cycle boosting the
output voltage higher and higher. If the output
ever exceeds 42V, the MP3302 will shut down.
The part will not switch again until the power is
recycled.
Layout Considerations
Careful attention must be paid to the PCB
board
layout and components placement.
Proper layout of the high frequency switching
to prevent noise and
path
electromagnetic
interference problems. The
current loop of IC, output diode, and output
capacitor should be as short as possible.
The IN pin of the IC must be locally bypassed.
