NOTES:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) For details on EN/DIM’s ABS MAX rating, please refer to the
Enable Control section on page 14.
3) 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.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Description
Fault indicator. /FAULT is an open drain output. /FAULT is pulled low when the LED is
short, open, or when thermal shutdown is occurring.
Enable/dimming control. Pull EN/DIM high to enable the MPM6010. Apply a 100Hz to
2kHz external clock to EN/DIM for PWM dimming.
LED current feedback input.
Internal 4.9V LDO output. Internal circuits integrate an LDO output capacitor, so there
is no need to add an external capacitor to VCC.
Analog ground. AGND is the reference ground of the logic circuit. AGND is connected
to PGND internally. There is no need to add external connections to PGND.
Switch output. Connection is not needed for these SW pins, but a large copper plane
is recommended (especially on pin 6, 7, and 8) for better heat sinking.
Power output. Connect LED+ to OUT. An output capacitor is needed on OUT.
Bootstrap. A bootstrap capacitor is integrated internally. External connections are not
required on BST.
Power ground. PGND is the reference ground of the power device. PGND requires
extra care during PCB layout. For best results, connect PGND with copper pours and
vias.
Supply voltage. IN supplies power for the internal MOSFET and regulator. The
MPM6010 operates from a +4V to +36V input rail. A low ESR and low-inductance
capacitor is required to decouple the input rail. Place the input capacitor very close to
IN and connect it with wide PCB traces and multiple vias.
No connection. NC must be left floating.

MPM6010 – 36V, 1.5A, SYNCHRONOUS, STEP-DOWN, LED MODULE
OPERATION
The
MPM6010
is
a
high-frequency,
synchronous, rectified, step-down, switch-mode,
white LED driver with built-in power MOSFETs,
integrated inductor, and two capacitors. The
MPM6010 offers a very compact solution that
achieves 1.5A of continuous output current with
excellent load and line regulation over a 4V to
36V input supply range.
The MPM6010 operates in a fixed-frequency,
peak-current-control mode to regulate the
output current. An internal clock initiates a
pulse-width modulation (PWM) cycle. The
integrated high-side power MOSFET (HS-FET)
turns on and remains on until its current
reaches the value set by the COMP voltage
(VCOMP). When the power switch is off, it
remains off until the next clock cycle starts. If
the current in the power MOSFET does not
reach the current value set by VCOMP within 87%
of one PWM period, the power MOSFET is
forced off.
Internal Regulator
A 4.9V internal regulator powers most of the
internal circuitries. This regulator takes VIN as
the input and operates in the full VIN range.
When VIN exceeds 4.9V, the output of the
regulator is in full regulation. When VIN is less
than 4.9V, the output decreases following VIN.
The
MPM6010
integrates
an
internal
decoupling capacitor, so there is no need to
add an external VCC output capacitor.
CCM Operation
The MPM6010 uses continuous conduction
mode (CCM) to ensure that the part works with
fixed frequency from a no-load to full-load range.
The advantage of CCM is the controllable
frequency and lower output ripple at light load.
Frequency Foldback
The MPM6010 enters frequency foldback when
the input voltage is higher than about 21V. The
frequency decreases to half the nominal value
and changes to 1.1MHz.
Error Amplifier (EA)
The error amplifier compares the FB voltage to
the internal 0.2V reference (VREF) and outputs a
current proportional to the difference between
the two. This output current then charges or
discharges the internal compensation network
to form VCOMP, which controls the power
MOSFET current. The optimized internal
compensation network minimizes the external
component count and simplifies the control loop
design.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protects the chip
from operating at an insufficient supply voltage.
The UVLO comparator monitors the output
voltage of the internal regulator (VCC). The
UVLO rising threshold is about 3.5V, while its
falling threshold is about 3.1V.
Enable Control (EN/DIM)
EN/DIM is a control pin that turns the regulator
on and off. Drive EN/DIM high to turn on the
regulator; drive EN/DIM low to turn off the
regulator. An internal resistor from EN/DIM to
GND allows EN/DIM to be floated to shut down
the MPM6010.
EN/DIM is clamped internally using a 6.5V
series Zener diode (see Figure 2). Connecting
EN/DIM through a pull-up resistor to VIN limits
the EN/DIM input current to less than 100µA.
For example, with 12V connected to VIN,
RPULLUP ≥ (12V - 6.5V) ÷ 100µA = 55kΩ.
Connecting EN/DIM to a voltage source directly
without a pull-up resistor requires limiting the
amplitude of the voltage source to ≤6V to
prevent damage to the Zener diode.

down the IC.
Frequency foldback also occurs during soft start
and short-circuit protection.

PWM Dimming
Apply an external, 100Hz to 2kHz, PWM
waveform to EN/DIM for PWM dimming. The
average LED current is proportional to the
PWM duty. The minimum amplitude of the
PWM signal is 1.8V. If a dimming signal is
applied before the chip starts up, the on time of
the dimming signal must be longer than 2ms to
ensure that the soft start is finished so the
output current can be built. If the dimming
signal is applied after the soft start is finished,
the 2ms limit is not required.
Internal Soft Start (SS)
Soft start (SS) prevents the converter output
voltage from overshooting during start-up.
When the chip starts up, the internal circuitry
generates a soft-start voltage (VSS). When VSS
is lower than the internal reference (VREF), VSS
overrides VREF, so the error amplifier uses VSS
as the reference. When VSS exceeds VREF, the
error amplifier uses VREF as the reference.
Fault Indicator (/FAULT)
The MPM6010 has fault indication (/FAULT).
/FAULT is the open drain of a MOSFET and
should be connected to VCC or another voltage
source through a resistor (e.g. 100kΩ). /FAULT
is pulled high during normal operation. LED
short, open, or thermal shutdown pull /FAULT
down to indicate a fault status.
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The MPM6010 has cycle-by-cycle, peakcurrent-limit protection with valley-current
detection. The inductor current is monitored
during the HS-FET on state. If the inductor
current exceeds the current limit value set by
the COMP high-clamp voltage, the HS-FET
turns off immediately. Then the low-side
MOSFET (LS-FET) turns on to discharge the
energy, and the inductor current decreases.
The HS-FET remains off unless the inductor
valley current is lower than a certain current
threshold (the valley current limit), even though
the internal clock pulses high. If the inductor
current does not drop below the valley current
limit when the internal clock pulses high, the
HS-FET misses the clock, and the switching
frequency decreases to half the nominal value.
Both the peak and valley current limits assist in
keeping the inductor current from running away
during an overload or short-circuit condition.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown prevents the chip from
operating at exceedingly high temperatures.
When the die temperatures exceeds 170°C, the
entire chip shuts down. When the temperature
drops below its lower threshold (typically
140°C), the chip is enabled again.
Floating Driver and Bootstrap Charging
An internal bootstrap capacitor powers the
floating power MOSFET driver. A dedicated
internal regulator charges and regulates the
bootstrap capacitor voltage to ~5V (see Figure
3). When the voltage between the BST and SW
nodes drops below regulation, a PMOS pass
transistor connected from VIN to BST turns on.
The charging current path is from VIN to BST to
SW. The external circuit should provide enough
voltage headroom to facilitate charging. As long
as VIN is higher than SW significantly, the
bootstrap capacitor remains charged. When the
HS-FET is on, VIN ≈ VSW, so the bootstrap
capacitor cannot be charged. When the LS-FET
is on, VIN - VSW reaches its maximum for fast
charging. When there is no inductor current,
VSW = VOUT, so the difference between VIN and
VOUT can charge the bootstrap capacitor. The
floating driver has its own UVLO protection with
a rising threshold of 2.2V and hysteresis of
150mV.

Start-Up and Shutdown
If both VIN and EN/DIM exceed their thresholds,
the chip starts up. The reference block starts
first, generating stable reference voltage and
currents, and then the internal regulator is
enabled. The regulator provides a stable supply
for the remaining circuitries. Three events can
shut down the chip: VIN low, EN/DIM low, and
thermal shutdown. During the shutdown
procedure, the signaling path is blocked first to
avoid any fault triggering. VCOMP and the internal
supply rail are then pulled down. The floating
driver is not subject to this shutdown command.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Setting the Output Current
The output current is set by the external resistor
(RFB) (see Figure 4).
another lower-value capacitor (e.g. 0.1µF) in a
small package (0603) to absorb high-frequency
switching noise. Place the smaller capacitor as
close to IN and GND as possible.
Since CIN absorbs the input switching current, it
requires an adequate ripple current rating. The
RMS current in the input capacitor can be
estimated with Equation (2):

RT is used to set the loop bandwidth. The
lower RT is, the higher the bandwidth.
However, a high bandwidth may cause
insufficient phase margin, resulting in loop
instability. A proper value of RT is needed to
make a trade-off between bandwidth and
phase margin. Table 1 lists the
recommended feedback resistor and RT
values for common outputs with a 1- or 2series LED.

Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input current to the step-down converter is
discontinuous and therefore requires a
capacitor to supply AC current to the converter
while maintaining the DC input voltage. Use low
ESR capacitors for the best performance.
Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics
are highly recommended because of their low
ESR and small temperature coefficients. For
most applications, use a 4.7µF to 10µF
capacitor. It is strongly recommended to use
ILED

For simplification, choose an input capacitor
with an RMS current rating greater than half the
maximum load current.
The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum,
or ceramic. When using electrolytic or tantalum
capacitors, add a small, high-quality, ceramic
capacitor (e.g. 0.1μF) as close to the IC as
possible. When using ceramic capacitors,
ensure that they have enough capacitance to
provide a sufficient charge to prevent excessive
voltage ripple at input. The input voltage ripple
caused by capacitance can be estimated with

Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor maintains the DC output

the output voltage ripple low. The output
voltage ripple can be estimated with Equation

The characteristics of the output capacitor also
affect the stability of the regulation system. The
MPM6010 can be optimized for a wide range of
capacitance and ESR values.
VIN UVLO Setting
The MPM6010 has an internal, fixed, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold. The rising
threshold is about 3.5V, while the falling
threshold is about 3.1V. For applications that
require a higher UVLO point, an external
resistor divider can be added between IN and
EN/DIM to achieve a higher equivalent UVLO
threshold (see Figure 5).
VIN
The UVLO threshold can be calculated with
Equation (8) and Equation (9):
INUVRISING (1
R UP
) VEN_RISING
500k//R DOWN
INUVFALLING (1
RUP
) VEN_FALLING (9)
500k//R DOWN
(8)
Where VEN_RISING = 1.45V, and VEN_FALLING = 1V.
When choosing RUP, ensure that it is large
enough to limit the current flow into EN/DIM
below 100μA.
External Bootstrap Diode
An external bootstrap diode can enhance the
efficiency of the regulator when the duty cycle is
high (>65%). A power supply between 2.5V and
5V can be used to power the external bootstrap
diode. VCC or VOUT is recommended for this
power supply in the circuit (see Figure 6).

Enhance Efficiency

PCB Layout Guidelines (7)
Efficient PCB layout, especially of the input
capacitor placement, is critical for stable
operation. For best results, refer to Figure 7 and
follow the guidelines below. A four-layer layout
is strongly recommended to achieve better
thermal performance.
1.
Use a large ground plane on PGND. If the
bottom layer is a ground plane, add vias
near PGND.
2.
Ensure that the high-current paths at
PGND and IN have short, direct, and wide
traces.
3.
Place the ceramic input capacitor,
especially the small package (0603) input
bypass capacitor as close to IN and PGND
as possible to minimize high-frequency
noise.
4.
Keep the connection of the input capacitor
and IN as short and wide as possible.
5.
Place the feedback resistors close to the
chip to ensure the trace which connects to
FB is as short as possible.
6.
Use multiple vias to connect the power
planes to the internal layers.
