MP3306
30V, 700kHz Synchronous Step-Up
White LED Driver
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP3306 is a step-up converter designed for
driving white LEDs from 3V to 12V power supply.
The MP3306 uses current mode, fixed frequency
architecture to regulate the LED current, which is
measured through an external high-side current
sense resistor. The low 202mV feedback voltage
and synchronous rectification reduces power loss
and improves efficiency.
The MP3306 is turned off if an over-voltage
condition is present due to an open circuit
condition. The output disconnect feature allows
the output to be completely discharged. The
MP3306 includes under-voltage lockout, current
limiting, output short protection and thermal
overload protection.
The MP3306 is available in small 12-pin QFN
(2mm x 2mm) package.

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 is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Name Pin Function
IN
Input Supply Pin. It provides the power for internal driver and logic circuit. Must be locally
bypassed.
The Internal Linear Regulator Output. VCC provides power supply for the internal MOSFET
switch gate driver and the internal control circuitry .Bypass VCC to GND with a ceramic
capacitor.
EN Control Input. A voltage greater than 1.1V turns the part on and less than 0.6V turns the
EN
part off.
Apply a PWM signal on this pin for brightness control. This signal is uniformed and filtered at
PWMI PWMO pin with an internal 100kΩ resistance. With a capacitor at PWMO pin, the duty cycle
from 0% to 100% at PWMI pin is converted to 0V to 1.2V DC voltage at PWMO pin.
PWM Filter Output. Connect a capacitor from PWMO to GND. The voltage on this pin range
0V to 1.2V linearly controls the feedback voltage from 0V to 0.2V.
PWMO
To use PWM dimming, connect the PWM input signal to PWMI pin.
To use analog dimming, connect the analog input voltage to PWMO pin.
Over Voltage Protection Pin. Use one external resistor voltage divider to program OVP
OVP threshold. When the OVP pin voltage reaches the shutdown threshold 1.22V, the IC will be
turned off and latch up until EN is toggled again.
Feedback Input. The MP3306 regulates the voltage across the current sense resistor
FB
between FB and VOUT. Connect a current sense resistor from VOUT to the LED string.
Connect the anode of the LED string to FB. The regulation voltage is 202mV.

MP3306-30V 700kHz SYNCHRONOUS STEP-UP WHITE LED DRIVER
OPERATION
The MP3306 uses a constant frequency, peak
current mode step up regulator architecture to
regulate the current flowing through series string of
white LEDs. The operation of the MP3306 can be
understood by referring to the block diagram of
Figure 1.
At the start of each oscillator cycle the low side FET
(M2) is turned on through the control circuitry. To
prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles
greater than 50 percent, a stabilizing ramp is added
to the output of the current sense amplifier and the
result is fed into the positive input of the PWM
comparator. When this voltage equals the output
voltage of the error amplifier the power FET is
turned off. Then the inductor current flows into the
output capacitor and LED load through internal high
side N-channel MOSFET (M3), which forces the
inductor current to decrease.
thus increasing the power charged in inductor and
delivered to the output.
MP3306 provides the analog and PWM dimming
solution, the internal resistor and external capacitor
one PWMO pin filters the PWM dimming signal on
PWMI pin to DC level that program the internal
reference to accomplish the analog dimming
function. When floating the PWMO pin, PWM
dimming function works.
Open Load protection shuts off the MP3306 if the
output voltage goes too high. In some cases an
LED may fail, this results in the feedback voltage
always being zero. The part then runs at maximum
duty cycle boosting the output voltage up. If the
output ever exceeds the programmable OVP
threshold, the MP3306 will shut down. The part
does not switch again until the EN pin or VIN is
toggled.
The voltage at the output of the error amplifier is an
amplified version of the difference between the
200mV reference voltage and the feedback voltage.
In this way the LED current is regulated accurately.
During Shutdown mode when EN is low, the IC
keeps the internal high-side N-channel MOSFET
(M1) off to disconnect the output from input.
If the feedback voltage starts to drop, the output of
the error amplifier increases. This result in more
current flowing through the high side power FET,
MP3306 has cycle by cycle current limit to protect
the load and IC from over current. And the internal
MOSFET (M1) limits the input current to prevent
system damage when short VOUT condition occurs.

MP3306-30V 700kHz SYNCHRONOUS STEP-UP WHITE LED DRIVER
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 2—3V~12V Input, Typical Application Driving 8 WLEDs in series
Figure 2 shows a typical application circuit that
can drive up to 8 white LEDs with 20mA. A
0.22~2.2µF output capacitor is sufficient for most
applications. The inductor with low DC inductor
resistance (DCR) will improve efficiency. Two
4.7μF ceramic capacitors provide sufficient input
decoupling.
Setting the LED Current
The LED current is controlled by the current
setting resistor, R1. The current through the
LEDs is given by: ILED = 202mV/R1.
Table 1 shows the selection of resistors for a
given LED current.
Table 1—ILED vs. R1 RSET
Selecting the Inductor
The inductor forces a higher output voltage
driven from a lower input voltage. A larger
inductor value results in less ripple current, a
lower peak inductor current, and reduces stress
on the internal N-Channel MOSFET. However,
larger-value inductor has a larger physical
footprint, higher series resistance, and lower
saturation current.
Choose an inductor that does not saturate under
the worst-case load conditions. Calculate the
required inductance value using the following
equations:
L
η VOUT D (1 D)2
2 fSW ILOAD
D 1
VIN
VOUT
Where VIN and VOUT are the input and output
voltages, fSW is the switching frequency, ILOAD is
the LED load current, and η is the efficiency.

The internal ramped compensation voltage
added to the current sense amplifier reduces the
maximum output current as the duty cycle
increases. As more LEDs are added, the output
voltage rises but the maximum current delivered
to the load falls as well. Figure 3 shows the
current limit curve, and the max LED current is
gotten as the formula.

MP3306-30V 700kHz SYNCHRONOUS STEP-UP WHITE LED DRIVER
Layout Considerations
Careful attention must be paid to the PCB board
layout and components placement. Proper layout
of the high frequency switching path is critical to
prevent noise and electromagnetic interference
problems. The loop of MP3306’s internal low side
MOSFET, synchronous MOSFET, and output
capacitor is flowing with high frequency ripple
current, it must be minimized. So the output
capacitor should be placed to IC as close as
possible.
Figure 3—Current Limit Curve
Analog and PWM Dimming
MP3306 provides 2 types of dimming solutions,
analog dimming and PWM dimming.
For analog, connect an external capacitor on
PWMO pin to form the low pass filter with internal
resistor R, the PWM dimming signal on PWMI pin
is filtered to DC signal to set the internal
reference to accomplish the analog dimming. The
time constant should be ten times greater than a
PWM waveform cycle:
RC 10 TPWM
For PWM dimming, floating PWMO pin and apply
the PWM dimming signal on PWMI pin.
Setting Over Voltage Protection Threshold
Open Load protection will shut off the MP3306 if
the output voltage goes too high. In some cases
an LED may fail, this will result in the feedback
voltage always being zero. The part boots the
output voltage higher and higher. If the output
voltage ever exceeds the programmed OVP
threshold as the formula,
VOVP =1.22 (1 R2/R3)
The MP3306 will shut down. The part will not
switch again until the power is recycled.
