EV2341-TL-00A
High-Efficiency, Synchronous
Step-Down LED Driver Evaluation Board
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EV2341-TL-00A Evaluation Board is
designed to demonstrate the capabilities of
MP2341GTL. The MP2341 is a 24V monolithic
synchronous step-down white LED driver with a
built-in power MOSFET and rectifier. It achieves
up to 2A continue output current with excellent
load and line regulation in a tiny SOT583
package. Peak current mode operation provides
fast transient response and eases loop
stabilization.
The EV2341-TL-00A is typically designed for
driving 2 WLEDs in series (5.9VTYP) LED load
with 2A current at wide 8V to 24V input range.
The EV2341-TL-00A has high performances in
efficiency, line/load regulation, deep dimming
range with both analog and PWM mode. Fault
condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle peak
current limiting, output short circuit protection,
open LED protection and thermal shutdown.

QUICK START GUIDE
1. Preset DC Power Supply output to 8V to 24V and turn off Power Supply.
2. Connect the positive terminal of Power Supply output to the VIN pin and the negative terminal to the
GND pin.
3. Connect the LED load between “LED+” (anode of LED string) and “LED-“(cathode of LED string).
4. Turn on Power Supply. The EV2341-TL-00A will automatically startup.
5. To use the Enable function, apply the Enable voltage to the EN/DIM pin and drive Enable high to
turn on the chip. When Enable voltage is less than 0.27V, the chip is turned off.
6. There are two ways to apply analog dimming. One is connecting a variable DC signal (0.7V to
1.44V) to EN/DIM pin and GND pins, respectively. By adjusting the voltage level from 0.7V to 1.44V,
the LED current changes from the min scale to full scale of the maximum LED current. If the
dimming voltage is higher than 1.57V, the maximum LED current is generated. Another analog
dimming way is connecting the PWM signal to PDIM pin and GND pins, respectively. Recommend
to set dimming frequency higher than 10kHz, and the positive plateau should be higher than 1.5V,
the negative plateau should be lower than 0.4V.
7. To apply PWM dimming, connect the PWM signal (the positive plateau should be higher than 1.57V,
the negative plateau should be lower than 0.27V) to EN/DIM and GND pins, respectively. The
dimming frequency is recommended to be in the range of 100Hz to 2kHz to achieve good dimming
linearity.
