MP4700
High-Brightness,
BCM, Low Side Buck White LED Driver
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP4700 is a high-efficiency step-down
converter designed to drive high-brightness
light emitting diodes.
The MP4700 drives an external MOSFET in
boundary conduction mode, which features no
reverse recovery loss in the freewheeling diode
and soft turn-on with zero-current and valley
voltage for the power MOSFET that improves
efficiency and minimizes the inductor value and
size. The boundary conduction control mode
regulates the LED current by sensing the
MOSFET peak current through an external
resistor. Its low 300mV feedback voltage
reduces power loss and improves efficiency.
The MP4700 implements PWM dimming to the
LED current.
Protection features include output short
protection, under-voltage lockout for the IC
input voltage and bus input voltage, a limited
maximum switching frequency, and thermal
shut down.

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.

MP4700 – HIGH-BRIGHTNESS BCM, LOW SIDE BUCK WLED DRIVE WLED DRIVER
OPERATION
Internal Regulator
The MP4700 uses a low dropout (LDO)
regulator to supply the IC. Use a DC voltage in
the range of 8V to 18V to power the IC.
The internal LDO regulator maintains the VCC
voltage at 8.4V when the input voltage is less
than 12V. The VCC pin requires a ceramic
bypass capacitor.
When the input voltage exceeds 12V, the LDO
regulator switches to switch-controlled current
source mode. The VCC voltage charges to its
peak voltage (9.8V) and then the current source
stops. After the VCC voltage decreases to its
valley voltage (9V), the current source turns on
again. This switch-controlled current source
mode reduces the LDO power consumption and
improves efficiency.
LED Current Regulation and Valley Detection
In floating-buck-converter configuration, as
shown in the typical application circuit, the
MP4700 controls the MOSFET (Q1) using peak
current control. The CS pin senses the peak
current through a resistor (Rsense) to regulate the
current to:
IL _ PEAK
302mV
Rsense
In normal operation, the MP4700 turns on Q1
when the current in the freewheeling diode
goes to zero. As a result, the average LED
current is:
ILED
302mV
2Rsense
The zero-current detection is realized at the
DRV pin by sensing the MOSFET drain dv/dt
current through the Q1’s miller capacitor. When
the current through the freewheeling diode goes
to zero, the Q1 drain voltage (VSW) drops from
VBus to (VBus − VOUT) and oscillates thanks to the
inductor and the parasitic capacitors. When VSW
drops to the minimum value, the dv/dt current
through the miller capacitor rises from negative
to zero. At this point, the MP4700 turns on Q1
as the inductor current goes to zero and the Q1
drain voltage is at its minimum.
MP4700 Rev. 1.0
10/29/2012
The MP4700 controls the buck converter in
current-boundary-conduction mode.
To improve zero current detection, add a 10pF
capacitor between the Q1 drain and source .
Add a capacitor (Cout) in parallel to the LED
string to reduce the current ripple.
Boundary operation mode minimizes the Q1
turn-on loss and eliminates the freewheeling
diode’s reverse recovery loss to reduce passive
components’ size requirements at high
switching
frequencies.
Furthermore,
the
required inductance value is already small,
further reducing the inductor size.
Brightness Dimming Control
The MP4700 employs PWM dimming to control
the LED current. Use a 100Hz-to-2kHz PWM
signal. PWM input high triggers IC switching.
PWM input low turns off the IC.
For applications that do not need PWM
dimming control, apply a high voltage on the
PWM pin or leave the PWM pin open.
Frequency Setting and Inductor Design
In case the zero-current detection circuit fails—
which can happens at start-up during an output
short condition with a large output capacitor—
applying a maximum off time of about 2.8ms
ensures that the MP4700 continues to operate
and the prevents short current runaway.
The MP4700 has a maximum switching
frequency of 160kHz to avoid extreme circuit
losses and ensure better EMI performance. If
the converter reaches the maximum frequency,
it will operate in discontinuous current
conduction mode. Avoid this operation mode
since the LED current is out of regulation.
Inductor design is critical to to ensure that the
switching frequency (fs) is within the 30kHz to
160kHz range.

MP4700 – HIGH-BRIGHTNESS BCM, LOW SIDE BUCK WLED DRIVE WLED DRIVER
Hiccup Output-Short Protection
If the entire LED string is shorted, VOUT is zero.
Due to the minimal on time limit, the inductor
current will be out of regulation. The MP4700
can detect this failure and shut down for about
2.8ms, and then re-tries the operation. This
hiccup protection can eliminate thermal issues
due to a short-circuit current, and also maintain
normal operation if the protection is mistriggered.
Input-Bus-Voltage Under-Voltage Lockout
(UVLO) Protection
The MP4700 implements UVLO protection for
the input bus voltage. The INUV pin senses the
input bus voltage through a voltage divider. The
IC is locked out until the input bus voltage rises
so that the INUV voltage pin exceeds its UVLO
threshold. This UVLO function protects against
a low input bus voltage. For best results, set the
input bus voltage UVLO point over 1.1 times the
output LED voltage.
Set the input bus UVLO as follows:
RINUV _ H
RINUV _ L
VBus _ UVLO
1
VINUV _ th
Where VINUV_th=1.2V is the INUV pin threshold
voltage.
VCC Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Protection
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protects the chip
from operating at an insufficient supply voltage.
The UVLO rising threshold is about 7.4V while
its falling threshold is a consistent 6.4V.
Thermal Shutdown Protection
An accurate temperature protection prevents
the chip from operating at exceedingly high
temperatures. When the silicon die temperature
exceeds its upper threshold, it shuts down the
whole chip. When the temperature drops below
its lower threshold, the chip is enabled again.

DESIGN EXAMPLE
TV LED Backlighting
The design example introduces an MP4700based high-performance TV LED backlighting
solution. Figure 2 shows the structure of this
total system solution—Flyback+MP4700 lowside buck for single-string TV LED backlight.
The flyback converts the AC input line voltage
to the system output supply voltage 13V/2A,
and also outputs a DC bus voltage (around
280V) to the LED driver. The flyback is based
on the MPS quasi-resonant flyback controller,
HFC0100. The MP4700 acts as the LED driver
stage as a boundary conduction mode (BCM)
low-side buck.

transformer T2 are as follow:
MP4700 Rev. 1.0
10/29/2012
In this application example, the bus voltage
uses 2 windings. Each winding outputs half of
the bus voltage (140V) after the rectifier,
dividing the voltage stress across each rectifier
diode. The reduced stress allows for the use of
800V diodes.
Both the 13V voltage and the 280V bus voltage
feed back to the flyback control circuit, which
decreases the influence of the cross regulation.
The 13V system voltage also supplies the
MP4700.
The following describes the design of the
MP4700 LED driver. The design procedure for
the HFC0100 flyback is not described here, but
rather in the HFC0100 design materials.

MP4700 – HIGH-BRIGHTNESS BCM, LOW SIDE BUCK WLED DRIVE WLED DRIVER
Select the Inductor
This allows for a current rating within 1A to 2A.
The MP4700 operates at BCM. Select a proper
inductor to ensure that the operating frequency
is within a desired range.
Select the Current Sense Resistor
Assuming the 280V bus voltage has -10% to
+20% variation, and the LED voltage has a
±10% variation. The maximum system
operating frequency at the maximum input bus
voltage and the minimum output LED voltage
should not exceed the MP4700’s 160kHz
frequency limit.

Choosing a maximum operating frequency at
150kHz, the inductor should exceed 1.1mH.
The peak inductor current is around 2 times the
LED current when the MP4700 operates in
BCM. An inductor rated at 1.3mH/0.6A would fit
this application.
The MP4700 operates in BCM and the current
sense resistor is:

Select the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor should be large enough to
filter the output ripple current and limit the LED
current ripple to within a desired range (usually
below ±5%).
Use the equivalent dynamic resistance of the
LED string to design the output capacitor.
Figure 5 defines of the equivalent dynamic
resistance of the LED string (RLED).
Select the Power MOSFET
The voltage stress of the power MOSFET
should exceed the bus voltage. A MOSFET with
400V voltage rating will suffice for this
application. The peak current through the
MOSFET equals the peak inductor current, or 2
times the LED current (250mA). The maximum
RMS current through the MOSFET is:
IRMS _ MOS _ max 2ILED *
VLED _ max
3Vbus _ min
Select the Diode
The voltage stress of the diode should exceed
the bus voltage—400V will suffice for this
application. The maximum average current
through the diode is:

Usually, a 1μF to 2.2μF ceramic capacitor or a
10μF to 22μF electrolytic capacitor should
suffice for this LED current level.
Select the Input Capacitor
Select the input capacitor to ensure that the
input voltage ripple is within a desired range
(1% to 5% of the input bus voltage). The input
capacitor is usually electrolytic and its ESR
dominates its impedance. The ESR of this input
capacitor should be:

PCB Layout Guide
For best results, follow these layout guidelines
for the MP4700 low-side buck:
(1) Make the high-frequency switching loop
(the input capacitor, the diode, the power
MOSFET and the current sense resistor) as
small and tight as possible.
(2) Place the current sense resistor close to
the IC and make the current sense loop as
small as possible.
(3) Separate the GND of MP4700 from the
power ground of system, which conducts
current of power stage.
Figure 6 and Figure 7 show an example of the
PCB layout. Figure 7 shows the high-frequency
switching loop (composed of the input capacitor,
the diode, the power MOSFET and the current
sense resistor) marked in red. Make sure to
minimize this high-frequency switching loop.
Vbus _ ripple _ PK _ PK
IL _ PEAK
A 4.7μF to 22μF electrolytic capacitor will
usually suffice.
