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.

Name
Description
Supply Voltage. The MP24833 operates from a 4.5V to 55V unregulated input (with respect to
VSS). Input capacitor is needed to prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the input.
VSS, Power Return. Connect to the lowest potential in the circuit, which is typically the anode of the
exposed Schottky rectifier. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage, and thus
pad
requires extra care in layout. The exposed pad is also connected to this pin
Over-Voltage Protection. Use a voltage divider to program the OVP threshold. When the OVP
pin voltage reaches the shutdown threshold of 1.2V, the switch turns off and will recover
when the OVP voltage drops to normal operating range. When the voltage (with respect to
OVP
VSS) drops below 0.2V and the FB pin voltage is less than 0.1V, the chip treats this as a
short circuit and the operating frequency folds back. Program the OVP pin voltage from 0.2V
to 1.2V for normal operation.
LED Current Feedback Input. Senses the current across the sensing resistor between FB and
FB
VSS. Connect the current sensing resistor from the bottom of the LED strings to VSS. The FB
pin is connected to the bottom of the LED strings. The regulation voltage is 0.198V.
On/Off Control Input and Dimming Command Input. A voltage greater than 0.67V will turn on
the chip. This pin implements both DC and PWM dimming. When the EN/DIM pin voltage
(with respect to INGND) rises from 0.67V to 1.36V, the LED current will change from 0% to
EN/DIM
100% of the maximum LED current. To use PWM dimming, apply a 100Hz-to-2kHz square
wave signal with amplitude greater than 1.5V to this pin. For combined analog and PWM
dimming, apply a 100HZ to 2kHz square wave signal with amplitude from 0.67V to 1.36V.
INGND Input Ground Reference. This pin is the reference for the EN/DIM signal.
Bootstrap. Connect a capacitor between SW and BST pin to form a floating supply for the
BST
power switch driver. Use a 100nF or larger ceramic capacitor to provide sufficient energy to
drive the power switch with this supply voltage.
Switch Output. Source of the internal MOSFET. Connect this pin to the power inductor and
SW
the cathode of the rectifier diode.

MP24833 – 3A, 55V WHITE LED DRIVER
OPERATION
The MP24833 is a current-mode regulator. The
error amplifier (EA) output voltage is
proportional to the peak inductor current.
At the beginning of a cycle, the MOSFET 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 CLK signal (its frequency is the operating
frequency) sets the RS flip-flop. Its output turns
on the MOSFET that connects the SW pin and
inductor to the input supply.
The current sense amplifier detects and
amplifies the rising inductor current. The PWM
comparator compares the output of the EA
against the sum of the ramp compensator and
the current sense amplifier. When the sum of
the current sense amplifier output and the slope
compensation signal exceeds the EA output
voltage, the RS flip-flop resets and the
MOSFET turns off. The external Schottky
rectifier diode (D) conducts the inductor current.
If the sum of the current sense amplifier output
and the slope compensation signal does not
exceed the EA output throughout the cycle,
then the falling edge of the CLK resets the flipflop.
The output of the EA integrates the voltage
difference between the feedback and the
0.198V reference. The EA output will increase
when the FB pin voltage less than 0.198V.
Since the EA output voltage is proportional to
the peak inductor current, The increase in EA
output voltage also increases the current
delivered to the output.
Soft Start
When the MP24833 is enabled and VDD
exceeds the UVLO threshold, the switching
begins. The soft-start is not active when VFBVSS is lower than 1/2 of VREF, which is helpful
to charge the output cap quickly. At the same
time, the current limit is folded to half.
extend slowly to limit the current overshoot at
start-up.
When the internal reference input of the EA
rises up to around VREF+100mV, the soft-start
ends and the reference input of the EA is
connected to full scale of VREF (0.198V).
Open LED Protection
The OVP pin is used for open LED protection. It
monitors the output voltage through a voltage
divider. If the LED is open, there is no voltage
on the FB pin. The duty cycle will increase until
VOVP-VSS reaches the protection threshold set
by the external resistor divider. The top switch
turns off until VOVP-VSS decreases sufficiently.
Dimming Control
The MP24833 allows both DC and PWM
dimming. When the voltage on EN (reference to
INGND) is less than 0.6V, the chip turns off. For
analog dimming, the LED current is linearly
dependent on the EN voltage range between
0.67V and 1.36V, from 0% to 100%. EN voltage
higher than 1.36V results in the maximum LED
current generated. For PWM dimming, (VDIM VINGND) must exceed 1.5V. Use a PWM
frequency in the range of 100Hz to 2kHz for
good dimming linearity. For combined analog
and PWM dimming, apply a PWM signal with
amplitude from 0.67V to 1.36V to EN pin.
Output Short Circuit Protection
The MP24833 features output short-circuit
protection. When the output is shorted to VSS,
the voltage on OVP pin drops below 0.2V, and
the FB pin senses no voltage (
