MP3309A
2.7V-5.5V Input, 35V Output,
Programmable Fsw, White LED Driver
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP3309A is a WLED step-up converter for
2.7V-to-5.5V input that uses peak-current mode
to regulate the LED current sensed through an
external low-side resistor. The 200mV feedback
voltage and synchronous rectification reduces
power loss and reduces PCB space
requirements. To connect an external Schottky
accomplishes the non-synchronous mode for
heavy load to improve the thermal performance.
The MP3309A features a programmable
switching frequency to optimize efficiency. It
supports both analog and PWM dimming.
In addition, the MP3309A has LED open
protection,
cycle-by-cycle
current
limit
protection, thermal shutdown protection and
over-voltage protection. MP3309A is available
in QFN10 3*3mm 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.

MP3309A 2.7V-5.5V INPUT, 35V OUTPUT, PROGRAMMABLE FSW, WHITE LED DRIVER
OPERATION
The MP3309A uses peak-current-mode control to
regulate the current through the WLED string. At
the start of each oscillator cycle, the control
circuit turns on the low-side MOSFET (LS-FET,
M1). A stabilizing ramp added to the output of the
current-sense amplifier, which then feeds into the
positive input of the PWM comparator, prevents
sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles greater
than 50%. When the input of the PWM
comparator is equal to the output voltage of the
error amplifier, M1 turns off. Then the inductor
current flows through the synchronous power
MOSFET, which forces the inductor current to
decrease.
The voltage at the output of the error amplifier is
the amplified difference between the 200mV
reference voltage and the feedback voltage. If
the feedback voltage starts to drop, the output of
the error amplifier increases, increasing the
current flowing through the M1, thus increasing
the power to the inductor and output power. This
method accurately regulates the LED current.
System Startup
When enabled, the MP3309A checks safety
limits, including UVLO and over-temperature
protection (OTP), over-current protection after
passing the OVP test. If all the protection tests
pass, the chip then starts boosting the step-up
converter with an internal soft-start. During the
soft-start, the current limit drops to 0.8A to
prevent a large inrush current. This low-currentlimit time lasts for 5ms after the IC is enabled.
Synchronous Mode
The converter works in synchronous mode.
Synchronous mode can reduce diode power
consumption caused by a large voltage drop.
This synchronous mode increases the converter
efficiency for low LED string voltage. This mode
does not need an external Schottky diode,
reducing PCB space requirements and BOM
costs.
Dimming Control
The MP3309A provides two dimming methods:
PWM and analog dimming.
segmented as per the PWM signal and the
average LED current equals:
Iset × D dim
Where Ddim is the PWM duty cycle and Iset is the
LED current amplitude. When PWM signal is high,
the converter operates in normal mode.
Conversely, when the PWM amplitude is low, the
converter stops switching. Make sure that the
PWM-signal low-level time is less than 20ms,
otherwise the IC will shutdown. Use a 100Hz-to2kHz PWM-dimming frequency for most dimming
ratio requests.
For analog dimming, set the LED current
amplitude through an external PWM signal.
Implementing analog dimming by connecting the
2 PWMH pins together and apply a PWM signal.
An internal RC filter filters the PWM signal. The
LED current amplitude equals Iset×Ddim, where
Ddim is the PWM duty cycle and Iset is the LED
current amplitude. Use a >20kHz PWM signal to
improve filtering performance.
IC Enable and Shutdown
The MP3309A enables the internal band-gap and
normal switching when the EN/PWML pin is high.
The MP3309A shuts down the chip when the
EN/PWML pin is low for longer than 20ms.
Open-String Protection
The MP3309A monitors the VOUT pin for openstring protection. If the LED string is open, the
feedback voltage is lower than the reference
voltage. The COMP then rises and charges the
output capacitor until the VOUT voltage reaches
the protection point VOVP(35.5V).
The IC stops switching when VOUT reaches the
OVP threshold, the IC resumes function when
VOUT drops below the threshold.
Input Under-Voltage Protection
When VIN exceeds 2.5V, the converter starts to
charge the internal reference and provides power
to the internal control circuitry. There is UVLO
hysteresis, approximately 200mV, as VIN falls.
The IC shuts down when the input voltage drops
below 2.3V.
For PWM dimming, apply a PWM signal to the
EN/PWML pin. The LED current is then

Thermal-Shutdown Protection
Thermal shutdown prevents the IC from
operating at exceedingly high temperatures.
When the die temperature exceeds the upper
threshold (TST), the IC shutdowns and resumes
normal operation when the die temperature drops
below lower threshold. Typically, the hysteresis is
25°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Selecting the Switching Frequency
The switching frequency of the step-up converter
can be programmed from 300kHz to 1.2MHz. A
resistor on the FREQ pin sets the internal
oscillator frequency for the step-up converter as
per the equation below:
FSW (KHz ) =
128000
RFREQ (KΩ )
For instance, if RFREQ=200kΩ, the switching
frequency is to 640kHz.
Calculate the required inductance value using the
equation:
η × VOUT × D × (1− D)2
L≥
2 × fSW × ILOAD
V
D = 1 − IN
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.
To avoid hitting the current limit, the worst-case
inductor peak current should be less than 80% of
the current limit, ILIM.
Setting the LED Current
Set the LED current through the current-setting
resistor on the FB pin.
ILED (mA) =
VREF (V)
× 1000
RFB (Ω)
For instance, if VREF=200mV, and RFB=10Ω, the
LED current is 20mA. Do not leave the FB pin
floating.
Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input capacitor reduces the surge current
drawn from the input supply and the switching
noise from the device. The input capacitor
impedance at the switching frequency should be
less than the input source impedance to prevent
the high-frequency switching current from
passing through to the input. Use ceramic
capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics for their
low ESR and small temperature coefficients. For
most applications, use a 2.2µF-to-10μF ceramic
capacitor.
Selecting the Inductor
The MP3309A requires an inductor to boost its
output voltage. A larger value inductor results in
less ripple current, lowering both the peakinductor current and the stress on the internal Nchannel MOSFET. However, the larger inductor
is physically larger, has a higher series
resistance, and a lower saturation current.
Choose an inductor that does not saturate under
the worst-case load conditions. Select the
minimum inductor value to ensure that the boost
converter works in continuous-conduction mode
with high efficiency and good EMI performance.
IL(PEAK) =
VOUT × ILOAD VIN × (VOUT − VIN )
+
ηVIN
2 × L × fSW × VOUT
Where IL(PEAK) is the inductor peak current.
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor keeps the output voltage
ripple small and ensures feedback loop stability.
The output capacitor impedance must be low at
the switching frequency. Ceramic capacitors with
X7R dielectrics are recommended for their low
ESR characteristics. Selection must also account
for the capacitance’s dependence on the voltage
rating; with a DC bias voltage, the capacitor can
lose as much as 50% of its capacitance at its
rated voltage rating. Leave a sufficient voltage
rating margin when select the component.
For most applications, select a capacitor in the
range of 0.33µF to 3.3μF.
Setting the Over-Voltage Protection Point
VOUT determines the OVP point for open-string
protection. In some cases, an LED string failure
results in a 0V feedback voltage. The part then
continuously boosts the output voltage higher
and higher until the output voltage reaches the
programmed OVP threshold to trigger openstring protection.
Dimming Mode
The MP3309A has a smart dimming function for
both PWM and analog dimming.
1.
For PWM dimming, apply a 100Hz-to-2kHz
PWM signal to the EN/PWML pin. Make sure
that the PWM-signal low-level time is less
than 20ms, otherwise the IC will shutdown.

2.
For analog dimming, set the LED current
amplitude through an external >20kHz PWM
signal on 2 PWMH pins.
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 limit
electromagnetic interference. The loop consisting
of MP3309A’s internal low-side MOSFET,
synchronous MOSFET or diode, and output
capacitor contains a high-frequency ripple
current—minimize this loop. Place the output
capacitor should as to the IC as possible.
