EVQ4425A-QB-00A
High Efficiency 1.5A, 36V, 2.2MHz
Synchronous Step-Down LED Driver Evaluation Board
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EVQ4425A-QB-00A is an evaluation board
for the MPQ4425A-AEC1 and MPQ4425A.
•
MPQ4425A-AEC1/MPQ4425A is a highefficiency, synchronous, rectified, step-down,
switch-mode white LED driver with built-in
power MOSFETs. It offers a very compact
solution to achieve a 1.5A continuous output
current with excellent load and line regulation
over a wide input supply range. The
MPQ4425A has synchronous mode operation
to get high efficiency.
•
The EVQ4425A-QB-00A is a fully assembled
and tested evaluation board, which generates
load current up to 1.5A from a 4V to 36V input
range.

QUICK START GUIDE
1. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the LED to the LED+ and LED- pins, respectively.
2. Preset the power supply output to between 4 and 36V, and then turn it off.
If longer cables are used between the source and the EVB (>0.5m total), a damping capacitor
should be installed at the input terminals. Especially when Vin is ≥ 24V.
3. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the power supply output to the VIN and GND
pins, respectively. To get better EMI performance, connect the input power between VEMI and
GND.
4. Turn the power supply on. The MPQ4425AGQB will automatically startup.
5. To use the Enable function, apply a digital input to the EN pin. Drive EN higher than 1.45V to
turn on the regulator, drive EN less than 1V to turn it off.
6. To use the Dimming function, apply a 100Hz to 2kHz external clock to the EN/DIM pin for the
PWM dimming.
7. The output current is set by the external resistor RFB, Feedback reference voltage is 0.2V, ILED is
then given by below equation:
I LED =
0.2V

Figure 1: Feedback Network
8. RT is used to set the loop bandwidth. Basically, lower RT, higher bandwidth. But high bandwidth
may cause insufficient phase margin, resulting in loop unstable. So a proper value of RT is
needed to make a trade-off between bandwidth and phase margin. Below table lists the
recommended feedback resistor and RT values for common output with 1 or 2 series LED.
