MP24895A
6V - 36V, Step-Down,
White LED Driver
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP24895A is step-down LED driver
designed in continuous current mode for driving
the high-brightness LEDs from a wide input
voltage of 6V to 36V.
The MP24895A employs a hysteretic control
scheme to regulate the LED current. This
control scheme provides optimal loop
stabilization and a very quick response time.
For high accuracy, the MP24895A senses the
LED current by an external high-side resistor.
Its low 100mV average feedback voltage
reduces power loss and improves efficiency.
The MP24895A implements pulse-width
modulation (PWM) and analog dimming on
EN/DIM.
Full protection features include under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) and thermal overload protection
to prevent damage in the event of an output
overload.

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
produces an excessive die temperature, causing the regulator
to go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown
circuitry protects the device from permanent damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operation conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7 4-layer board.

OPERATION
Steady State
The MP24895A is a hysteretic-controlled, stepdown LED driver that can be configured easily
for various applications with an input range from
6V to 36V. The converter employs a high-side
current-sense resistor to detect and regulate
the LED current. The voltage across the
current-sense resistor is measured and
regulated within 100mV ± 20mV.
The internal 1.28V reference voltage provides a
0.2V reference to enable the part and a 1.28V
pull-up voltage as the current reference. When
VEN/DIM > 0.2V, the output of the comparator
goes high, and the other blocks are enabled.
A high-side resistor (RSENSE) senses the output
current. When the switch is on, R2 is shorted,
and R1 sets the output current upper-threshold.
When the switch is off, R1 and R2 set the
output current lower-threshold. The ratio of R1
and R2 determines the current hysteresis.
Enable Control
Once the input voltage is applied, the internal
1.28V reference is connected to EN/DIM
through the pull-up resistor. If EN/DIM is left
open, the IC starts up automatically to the
maximum brightness. Add a capacitor to
EN/DIM to program a soft-start time.
Apply an external DC voltage to EN/DIM to
control the current-sense voltage reference
linearly for analog dimming. Apply an external
pulse-width modulation (PWM) voltage with an
amplitude of 1.28V to EN/DIM to achieve PWM
dimming. For additional information on the
flexible external PWM dimming method, please
refer to the Selecting the Dimming Control
Mode section on Page 11.
System Soft Start
The voltage on EN/DIM is the inductor current
reference. An external capacitor from EN/DIM
to ground provides a soft-start delay. When VIN
starts up, the internal voltage source charges
the capacitor from 0V to 1.28V for soft start.
Dimming Control
The MP24895A provides two dimming methods:
PWM dimming and DC analog dimming.
To use PWM dimming, apply a square wave to
EN/DIM. To use analog dimming, apply a 0.3V
to 2.5V DC voltage to EN/DIM to control the
LED current range linearly from 25% to 200%.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Setting the LED Current
The LED current is set by the current-setting
resistor between IN and RS, which can be
calculated with Equation (1):
RSET=100mV/ILED
(1)
For RSET = 0.2Ω, the LED current is 500mA.
Selecting the Inductor
A lower inductor value results in higher
switching frequencies and larger switching loss.
For most applications, select a switching
frequency between 200kHz and 600kHz.
Estimate the inductor value based on the
desired switching frequency with Equation (2):
