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-toambient 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 the device from permanent
damage.

Description
Bootstrap. A capacitor is connected between SW and BS pins to form a floating
supply across the power switch driver. This capacitor is needed to drive the
power switch’s gate above the supply voltage.
Ground. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage. For
this reason care must be taken in its layout. This node should be placed outside
of the D1 to C1 ground path to prevent switching current spikes from inducing
voltage noise into the part.
Current Sense Feedback Voltage. Its internal threshold is 0.15V.
On/Off Control Input. Pull EN above 1.2V to turn the device on.
Supply Voltage. The MP2370 operates from a +4.5V to +24V unregulated input.
Input Capacitor is needed to prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the
input.
Switch Output.

MP2370 – 1.2A, 24V, 1.4MHz STEP-DOWN WHITE LED DRIVER
OPERATION
The MP2370 is a current mode buck regulator.
That is, the EA output voltage is proportional to
the peak inductor current.
At the beginning of a cycle, M1 is off. The EA
output voltage is higher than the current sense
amplifier output, and the current comparator’s
output is low. The rising edge of the 1.4MHz
CLK signal sets the RS Flip-Flop. Its output
turns on M1 thus connecting the SW pin and
inductor to the input supply.
The increasing inductor current is sensed and
amplified by the Current Sense Amplifier. Ramp
compensation is summed to the Current Sense
Amplifier output and compared to the Error
Amplifier output by the PWM Comparator.
When the sum of the Current Sense Amplifier
output and the Slope Compensation signal
exceeds the EA output voltage, the RS FlipFlop is reset and M1 is turned off. The external
Schottky rectifier diode (D1) conducts the
inductor current.
If the sum of the Current Sense Amplifier output
and the Slope Compensation signal does not
exceed the EA output for a whole cycle, then
the falling edge of the CLK resets the Flip-Flop.
The output of the Error Amplifier integrates the
voltage difference between the feedback and
the 0.15V bandgap reference. The polarity is
such that a FB pin voltage lower than 0.15V
increases the EA output voltage. Since the EA
output voltage is proportional to the peak
inductor current, an increase in its voltage also
increases current delivered to the output.
The internal floating power MOSFET driver (M1)
is powered by an external bootstrap capacitor.
When M1 turns off and when external Schottky
turns on, the bootstrap capacitor is charged
through the internal diode (D) and regulator. For
application with lower input voltage, connect the
external diode between the IN pin and BST pin
to enhance the floating MOS driver capability.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Setting LED Current
The current sense resistor is inserted between
the anode of WLED and GND. The current
sense resistor value is calculated as:
R1
0.15 V
ILED
For 1A WLED current, choose R1 = 150mΩ
Selecting the Inductor
A 1µH to 10µH inductor with a DC current rating
of at least 25% percent higher than the
maximum load current is recommended for
most applications. For highest efficiency, the
inductor’s DC resistance should be less than
200mΩ. Refer to Table 2 for suggested surface
mount inductors. For most designs, the required
inductance value can be derived from the
following equation.
L
VOUT ( VIN VOUT )
VIN IL f SW
Where ∆IL is the inductor ripple current.
Choose the inductor ripple current to be 30% of
the maximum load current. The maximum
inductor peak current is calculated from:
IL(MAX ) ILOAD
IL
2
Under light load conditions below 100mA, a
larger inductance is recommended to improve
efficiency. See Table 2 for suggested inductors.
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor keeps the output current
ripple small and ensures feedback loop stability.
The output capacitor impedance should be low
at the switching frequency. Ceramic capacitors
with X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended
for their low ESR characteristics. For most
applications, a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor will be
sufficient.
The MP2370 can also work properly without
output capacitor by adding a small capacitor in
the feedback loop (see Figure 2). The small
capacitor is recommended 680pF.
PC Board Layout
The high current paths (GND, IN and SW) should
be placed very close to the device with short,
direct and wide traces. The input capacitor needs
to be as close as possible to the IN and GND pins.
The external feedback resistors should be placed
next to the FB pin. Keep the switch node traces
short and away from the feedback network.
External bootstrap diode
To get the full rated output current when
operating at low input voltage (Vin240us
on-time PWM dimming signal.
PWM Dimming
MP2370 has PWM dimming function on EN pin with
dimming signal. The dimming ratio depends on the
dimming
frequency.
