DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP4008 is a current-mode controller
designed for driving high brightness light
emitting diodes (LEDs) with a wide input
voltage from 9V to 28V. It can be used in boost
and SEPIC topologies.
The MP4008 drives an external MOSFET with a
fixed frequency architecture to regulate the LED
current, which is measured through an external
current-sense resistor. The LED current
feedback voltage is 280mV. The switching
frequency is fixed to 180kHz. The cycle-bycycle current limit can be programmed by the
sense resistor on CS.
The MP4008 employs fast PWM dimming to the
LED current with a high dimming ratio.
Integrated protection features include undervoltage lockout, over-voltage protection, overcurrent protection, short LED protection, short
output
protection,
short
inductor/diode
protection, and OTP.
The MP4008 is available in a SOIC-8 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 produce 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
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Pin Function
Input supply, 9V-28V. VIN is the input of the internal linear regulator. VIN must be
bypassed locally.
Ground.
Switch current sense input. CS is used to sense the current of the external power
FET. It integrates a built-in blanking time to avoid switching noise interruption.
External MOSFET gate driver.
PWM dimming input. Apply a PWM signal on PWM for brightness control. GATE is
disabled when the PWM signal is low. GATE is enabled when the PWM signal is high.
Compensation. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control loop. Connect a
capacitor or a series RC network from COMP to GND. Also, COMP is used for soft
start. When the IC starts up, the current of the internal error amplifier is limited until the
output current reaches 80% of the setting current.
Feedback input, a 280mV internal feedback voltage. Connect a current sense
resistor from FB to GND. If the FB voltage is higher than 580mV for 1µs, short-load
protection is triggered, and the IC latches off.
Over-voltage protection input. Connect a resistor divider from the output to OVP to
program the OVP threshold. When the OVP voltage reaches the high threshold, the
over-voltage protection is triggered. The IC recovers once OVP decreases to the low
threshold.

MP4008─ HIGH-BRIGHTNESS, HIGH-CURRENT ACCURACY WLED CONTROLLER
OPERATION
The MP4008 drives an external MOSFET with
current mode architecture to regulate the LED
current, which is measured through an external
current sense resistor.
The slope compensation is integrated to avoid
sub-harmonic resonance when the duty cycle is
greater than 0.5. The cycle-by-cycle current limit
can be programmed by the sense resistor on CS.
The MP4008 employs a special circuit for
regulating the internal power supply, which
covers a wide input voltage from 9V to 28V. The
switching frequency is fixed at 180 kHz.
The MP4008 integrates under-voltage lockout,
over-voltage protection, over-current protection,
short LED protection, short-circuit protection,
short inductor/diode protection, and OTP.

MP4008─ HIGH-BRIGHTNESS, HIGH-CURRENT ACCURACY WLED CONTROLLER
Soft Start
The MP4008 implements a soft start by limiting
the current capability of the internal error
amplifier during start-up. The COMP voltage
jumps to its clamp voltage (~0.3V) at the
beginning of start-up. The sourcing/sinking
current of the internal error amplifier is limited to
21µA until the FB voltage reaches 0.8 of the
internal reference voltage during start-up (see
Figure 2).
Figure 3: Dimming Signal Filtered from GATE
Protection
The MP4008 includes under-voltage lockout,
over-voltage protection, short-load protection,
short-circuit protection, over-current protection,
and short inductor/diode protection. If fault
conditions are detected, GATE and COMP are
pulled down.
A. Under-Voltage Lockout
The MP4008 integrates VIN UVLO. The internal
circuit does not work until the VIN voltage
reaches the UVLO rising threshold. The
hysteresis of VIN UVLO is 600mV.
B. Over-Voltage Protection
Figure 2: Soft-Start Process
PWM Dimming
PWM dimming is achieved by applying a PWM
signal on the PWM pin.
Over-voltage protection is detected by the
voltage of OVP. When the OVP voltage rises to
its high threshold, the over-voltage protection is
triggered, and GATE and COMP are pulled low.
The IC recovers once the OVP voltage
decreases to its low threshold.
When the PWM signal is high, GATE is enabled,
and the external dimming MOSFET is turned on
by the driving signal, which is filtered from GATE
(see Figure 3). The output of the internal error
amplifier is connected to the external
compensation network, and the LED current is
regulated accurately.
C. Short-Load Protection
When the PWM signal goes low, the GATE
signal is disabled. Meanwhile, the output of the
internal error amplifier is disconnected from the
compensation network, and the COMP voltage is
held by the external capacitor. The dimming
MOSFET turns off to prevent the output voltage
from being discharged.
D. Short-Circuit Protection
The internal oscillator is synchronized by the
PWM dimming signal to achieve good
performance with a small dimming ratio.
MP4008 Rev. 1.01
12/8/2016
In a short-load condition, a large short current is
detected by the FB sense resistor. If the FB
sensed voltage is higher than 580mV and lasts
for 1µs, the short-load protection is triggered;
GATE and COMP are pulled low, and the IC
latches off.
In a short-circuit condition, the output voltage is
pulled low and no current is sensed on FB. If the
following conditions are satisfied, OVP < 280mV,
FB < 0.3*REF, and COMP > 1V, the short-circuit
protection is triggered. GATE and COMP are
pulled low, and the IC latches off.
Figure 4 shows the circuit for short-circuit
protection. It uses a PMOS for both PWM
dimming and short-circuit protection. When LED+
is shorted to GND, GATE pulls low, and the
PMOS turns off to cut off the short loop.

MP4008─ HIGH-BRIGHTNESS, HIGH-CURRENT ACCURACY WLED CONTROLLER
Figure 4: Short-Circuit Protection Scheme
E. Over-Current Protection (Short Inductor/
Diode Protection)
The MP4008 implements a cycle-by-cycle current
limit function for protection. In normal operation,
the over-current protection is recoverable.
In unexpected cases (inductor or diode shorts),
when the voltage of CS, which is detected by an
external CS sense resistor, hits the latch-off
current limit value within the 300ns turn-on time
for 7 consecutive cycles, the over-current
protection is triggered; GATE and COMP are
pulled low, and the IC latches off.
F. LED- to GND Short Protection
In an LED- to GND short condition, the FB
senses no current which causes the COMP to
charge to its saturated value. If COMP remains
saturated for 2048 switching cycles, and FB is
below 30% of the internal reference, protection is
triggered; GATE and COMP are pulled low, and
the IC latches off.

One is for the boost converter (the power
MOSFET), and the other is for PWM dimming
(the dimming MOSFET).
Choose a power MOSFET with breakdown

Where, D is the duty cycle.
Choose a dimming MOSFET with a voltage
rating 20% higher than the OVP point, and a

Choose a diode with a voltage rating greater than
the OVP point (at least 20% higher), and a
current rating greater than the LED current.
Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input capacitor reduces the surge current
drawn from the input supply and the switching
noise from the device. Use a ceramic capacitor
with an X7R dielectric, low ESR, and small
temperature coefficient.
