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.
3) The device function is not guaranteed outside of the
recommended operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Driver Output. Connect it to the high-side MOSFET gate.
High-Side Current Sense. For over-current protection and current-mode control.
Supply Voltage. Operates from a 4.5V-to-85V unregulated input (with respect to VSS). Needs
VDD
C1 to prevent large input voltage spikes.
INGND Input Ground Reference. Reference for the EN/DIM signal.
Dimming Command Input. Selects for DC or PWM dimming. When the DIM pin voltage (with
respect to INGND) rises from 0.6V to 1.95V, the LED current changes from 0% to 100% of the
DIM maximum LED current. For PWM dimming, apply a 100Hz-to-2kHz square wave with an
amplitude greater than 2V. For combined analog and PWM dimming, apply a 100Hz-to-2kHz
square wave signal with amplitude from 0.6V to 1.95V.
EN
Enable.
Frequency Set. Connect a resistor to VSS to set the switching frequency, and a 1nF capacitor
RSET
to VSS to bypass the noise. Leaving this pin open for the 350kHz default operating frequency.
Over-Voltage Protection. Use a voltage divider to program OVP threshold. When the OVP pin
voltage reaches the 1.2V shutdown threshold, the switch turns off and recovers when the OVP
voltage decreases sufficiently. When the OVP pin voltage (with respect to VSS) falls below
OVP
0.4V and the FB pin voltage falls below 0.1V, the chip interprets this as a short circuit and the
operating frequency will fold back. Program the OVP pin voltage from 0.4V to 1.2V for normal
operation.
Error Amplifier Output. Connect a 1nF or larger capacitor on COMP and an RC network from
COMP
FB to COMP to improve the stability and to provide soft-start and PWM dimming.
LED Current Feedback Input. A current-sensing resistor between FB and VSS provides circuit
FB
feedback. The regulation voltage is 0.2V. Short-circuit protection triggers If the FB voltage
exceeds 300mV for 450µs or the FB voltage exceeds 600mV.

DIM Output. Provides for accurate PWM diming control following DIM logic. Connect to the
gate of the external dimming MOSFET. Leave floating if dimming accuracy is not a concern.
Power Return. Connect to the circuit’s point of lowest potential, which is typically the anode of
the Schottky rectifier. Acts as the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage, and layout
requires extra consideration. Place this node outside of the D1-to-C1 ground path to prevent
switching current spikes from inducing voltage noise. Connect the exposed pad to this pin.
Bootstrap. Connect a capacitor between the SW and BST pins to form a floating supply across
the power switch driver. Use a 100nF or larger ceramic capacitor to provide sufficient energy
to drive the power switch’s gate above the supply voltage.
Switch. Connect to the source of the external MOSFET

MP24830 — 4.5V–90V, PROGRAMABLE FREQUENCY WHITE LED DRIVER
OPERATION
The MP24830 is a current-mode regulator. The
error amplifier (EA) output voltage is
proportional to the peak inductor current.
At the beginning of a cycle, M1 is off. The EA
output voltage exceeds the current sense
amplifier output, and the current comparator’s
output is low. The rising edge of the CLK signal
(its frequency equals the switching frequency)
triggers the RS flip-flop. The driver turns on the
external MOSFET, thus connecting the SW pin
and inductor to the input supply.
The current-sense amplifier (CSA) senses the
increasing inductor current. The PWM
comparator compares the sum of the ramp
generator and the CSA output against the
output of the error amplifier. When the sum of
the CSA output and the ramp generator signal
exceeds the EA output voltage, the RS flip-flop
resets and driver turns off the external
MOSFET. The external Schottky rectifier diode
(D1) conducts the inductor current.
If the sum of the CSA output and the ramp
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 EA integrates the voltage
difference between the feedback and the 0.2V
reference: A value of 0.2V-VFB increases the EA
output voltage. Since the EA output voltage is
proportional to the peak inductor current,
increasing its voltage also increases the current
delivered to the output.
LED Open Protection
If the LED is open, there is no voltage on the
FB pin. The duty cycle increases until OVPVSS reaches the shutdown threshold set by the
external resistor divider. The top switch remains
off until the voltage OVP-VSS drops below 1.2V.
LED Short Protection
If the FB voltage exceeds 600mV, the latches
off immediately and DIMO goes low. If the FB
voltage exceeds 300mV for 450µs, the IC
latches off and DIMO is pulled low. The EN
needs to reset to restart the IC.
Dimming Control
The MP24830 allows both DC and PWM
dimming on the DIM pin. For analog dimming, a
voltage range from 0.6V to 1.95V linearly sets
the LED current from 0% to 100% of the
maximum LED current. DIM voltages exceeding
2V results in the maximum LED current. For
PWM dimming, use a square signal with an
amplitude (VDIM – VINGND) that exceeds 1.95V.
For good dimming linearity, select a PWM
frequency in range of 100Hz to 2kHz. For a
higher dimming frequency or dimming ratio, use
the DIMO pin to control an external dimming
MOSFET. For combined analog and PWM
dimming, apply a PWM signal with amplitude of
0.6V to 1.95V on the DIM pin.
Output Short-Circuit Protection
The MP24830 integrates output short-circuit
protection (SCP) to foldback the operating
frequency and decrease power consumption
when the output is shorted to VSS. Such shorts
cause the voltage on the OVP pin to drop below
0.4V, and the FB pin senses no voltage (>Cp):
(1)Compensation network for Buck-boost
application
The DC modulator gain of the buck-boost
power stage (from the output current to the
control voltage on COMP pin) is:
VOUT × VIN
VOUT + VIN
DCGain _ PS =
VOUT
I
* VOUT
20 × RCS × (
+ OUT
) × (RFB + RLED )
RFB + RLED VOUT + VIN
Where RCS is the switch current sensing resistor
on CS pin, RLED is the equivalent dynamic
resistance of the LED load, as shown in Figure
5.
VIN2
2π × L × IOUT × (VOUT + VIN )
RCOMP =
fc
gm × RFB × DCGain _ PS * fP _ PS
That is:
RCOMP =
2πfc × COUT × 20 × RCS × (RFB + RLED )(VOUT + VIN )
gm × RFB × VIN
Use the maximum input voltage and minimum
output voltage to calculate RCOMP.
Step 2: Select CZ
Set the zero of the compensation network to
cancel the minimum pole of the power stage to
get:
Cz =
1
2π × fP _ PS × RCOMP

(2)Compensation network for Buck
application
The DC modulator gain of the buck power stage
(from the output current to the control voltage)
is:
DCGain _ Buck =
1
20 × RCS
The dominant, low frequency pole of the buck
power stage is:
fP _ Buck =
1
2 π × (RFB + RLED + RESR ) × COUT
The zero produced by the ESR of the output
capacitor is:
fZ _ ESR =
1
2π × COUT * RESR
Where RESR is the ESR of the output capacitor.
Step 1: Select RCOMP
Choose a crossing frequency, fC, below 1/5×fC
to derive the compensation network as follows
(assume CZ>>CP):
RCOMP _ Buck =
fc
gm × RFB × DCGain _ Buck * fp _ Buck
That is:
RCOMP _ Buck =
2πfc × COUT × 20 × RCS × (RFB + RLED + RESR )
gm × RFB
Step 2: Select CZ
Set the zero of the compensation network to
cancel the minimum pole of the Buck power
stage to get:
Cz _ Buck

=
2π × fP _ Buck × RCOMP _ Buck
Step 3: Select CP
Set the pole of the compensation network to
cancel the ESR zero. If the ESR zero is too
high, set this pole at around 3 to 5 times fC:

Selecting the Inductor
Select the inductor based on the input voltage,
the output voltage, and the LED current. Select
the inductor to make the circuit operate in
continuous current mode (CCM). Select the
inductor current rating to ensure that the
inductor does not saturate and with
consideration to power consumption based on
the DC resistance.
(1) Selecting the Inductor for Buck-Boost
Applications
For buck-boost applications, select the inductor
based on the following equation:
L=
fSW
VIN × VOUT
× (VIN + VOUT ) × ΔIL
Where ΔIL is the peak-to-peak inductor current
ripple. Design ΔIL to be between 30% and 60%
of the average current of the inductor, which is:
IL _ AVG = ILED * (1 +
VOUT
)
VIN
Select the inductor with a DC current rating that
ensurew that the inductor does not saturated at
the peak current of:
IL _PK = IL _ AVG + 0.5ΔIL
(2) Selecting the Inductor for Buck Applications
For buck applications, derive the inductance
value from the following equation.
L=
VOUT × ( VIN − VOUT )
VIN × ΔIL × f SW
Where ΔIL is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple
current.
Choose the inductor ripple current to around
30% to 60% of the maximum load current. The
maximum inductor peak current is calculated as:
IL(MAX ) = ILOAD +
ΔIL

Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input capacitor reduces the surge current
drawn from the input supply and the switching
noise from the device. For best results, use

ceramic capacitors with X7R dielectrics with low
ESR and small temperature coefficients.
Select a large-enough capacitor to limit input
the voltage ripple, ΔVIN, to less than 5% to 10%
of the DC value.

IL _ AVG × VOUT
fSW × ΔVIN × (VIN + VOUT )
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor limits the output voltage
ripple, ΔVOUT (normally less than 1% to 5% of
the DC value), and ensures feedback loop
stability. Use an output capacitor with
impedance at the switching frequency. Use
ceramic capacitors with low ESR characteristics.

× ΔVOUT × (VIN + VOUT )
PC Board Layout
Place the high-current paths (VSS, VDD and
SW) very close to the device with short, direct,
and wide traces. Place the input capacitor as
close as possible to the VDD and VSS pins.
Place the external feedback resistors next to
the FB pin. Keep the switch node traces short
and away from the feedback network.
Pay special attention is required to the
switching frequency loop layout, which should
be as small as possible.
For buck applications, the switching frequency
loop is composed of the input capacitor, the
power MOSFET and the Schottky diode. Place
the Schottky diode close to the power MOSFET
and the input capacitor.
For buck-boost or boost applications, the
switching frequency loop is composed of the
input capacitor, the power MOSFET, the
Schottky diode and the output capacitor. Make
this component loop as small as possible. For
most applications, place the output capacitor
close to the input capacitor and the power
MOSFET.
