EV3398E-U-00A
4 strings WLED Controller With 80V Return
Evaluation Board
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP3398E is a step-up controller with four
current channels designed to drive WLED
arrays for large size LCD panel backlighting
applications. The MP3398E is able to expand
the number of LED channels with two or more
ICs in parallel sharing a single power source.
The MP3398E employs peak-current mode with
a fixed switching frequency. The frequency is
programmable through an external setting
resistor. The MP3398E drives an external
MOSFET to boost up the output voltage from a
4.5V to 33V input supply and regulates the
current in each LED string to the value set by
an external current-setting resistor.
The MP3398E applies four internal current
sources for current balancing. The current
matching achieves 2.3% regulation accuracy
between strings. The low regulation voltage on
the LED current sources reduces power loss.
The MP3398E supports direct PWM dimming
and analog dimming with PWM input. Full
protection
features
include
over-current
protection (OCP), Over-temperature protection
(OTP), Under-voltage protection (UVP), overvoltage protection (OVP), LED short/open
protection, and inductor/diode short protection.

QUICK START GUIDE
1. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the load panel (20 white LEDs in series, 4 stings)
to the LED+ and LED1~4 pins on the EV board, respectively.
2. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the power supply (13V ~ 33V) to the VIN and
GND pins on the EV board, respectively.
3. Drive EN pin high (5V) to enable the MP3398E.
4. For PWM dimming, apply a PWM rectangular waveform with a minimum voltage less than 0.4V
and a maximum greater than 1.5V on PDIM pin. The frequency of the PWM signal is
recommended between 200Hz to 2kHz.
5. For analog dimming, apply a PWM rectangular waveform with a minimum voltage less than
0.4V and a maximum greater than 1.5V on ADIM pin. The frequency of the PWM signal is
recommended between >20kHz.
