The Future of Analog IC Technology  
DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES  
4-String, Max 350mA/String at 10% DPWM  
5V to 28V Input Voltage Range  
2.5% Current Matching Accuracy Between  
Strings  
The MP3397 is a step-up controller with 4  
current channels designed to drive WLED  
arrays for large-size LCD-panel backlighting  
applications. The MP3397 is flexible, and can  
expand the number of LED channels with two  
or more MP3397s in parallel operating from a  
single inductive power source.  
Programmable Switching Frequency  
PWM or DC Input Burst PWM Dimming  
Open and Short LED Protection  
Programmable Over-Voltage Protection  
Cascading Capability with a Single Power  
Source  
The MP3397 uses current-mode fixed-  
frequency architecture. An external resistor sets  
the switching frequency. This signal drives an  
external MOSFET to boost up the output  
voltage from 5V to a 28V input supply. The  
MP3397 regulates the current in each LED  
string to the programmed value set by an  
external current-setting resistor.  
Under-Voltage Lockout  
Thermal Shutdown  
16-pin TSSOPSOIC Package  
APPLICATIONS  
Desktop LCD Flat Panel Displays  
Flat Panel Video Displays  
2D/3D LCD TVs and Monitors  
The MP3397 applies 4 internal current sources  
for current balance. The current matching can  
achieve 2.5% regulation accuracy between  
strings. Its low regulation voltage on LED  
current sources reduces power loss and  
improves efficiency.  
All MPS parts are lead-free and adhere to the RoHS directive. For MPS green  
status, please visit MPS website under Quality Assurance. “MPS” and “The  
Future of Analog IC Technology” are Registered Trademarks of Monolithic

An external PWM input signal or DC input  
signal controls PWM dimming. The dimming  
PWM signal can be generated internally and  
the dimming frequency is programmed by an  
external setting capacitor.

MP3397—4-STRING, MAX 350mA/STRING WHITE LED DRIVER  
OPERATION  
The MP3397 employs a programmable constant-  
frequency, peak-current–mode step-up converter  
with 4 channels or regulated current sources to  
drive an array of up to 4 strings of white LEDs.  
The output voltage of the internal error amplifier  
is an amplified signal of the difference between  
the reference voltage and the feedback voltage.  
The converter automatically chooses the lowest  
active LEDX pin voltage to provide a high-  
enough bus voltage to power all the LED arrays.  
Internal 6V Regulator  
The MP3397 includes an internal linear regulator  
(VCC). When VIN is greater than 6.5V, this  
regulator outputs a 6V power supply to the  
external MOSFET switch gate driver and the  
internal control circuitry. The VCC voltage drops  
to 0V when the chip shuts down. The MP3397  
features under-voltage lockout (UVLO). The chip  
is disabled until VCC exceeds the UVLO  
threshold. The UVLO hysteresis is approximately  
200mV.  
If the feedback voltage drops below the  
reference, the output of the error amplifier  
increases. This result in more current flowing  
through the MOSFET, thus increasing the power  
delivered to the output. This forms a closed loop  
that regulates the output voltage.  
Under light-load operation—where VOUT VIN—  
the converter runs in pulse-skipping mode where  
the MOSFET turns on for a minimum on-time of  
approximately 100ns, and then the converter  
discharges the power to the output for the  
remaining period. The external MOSFET remains  
off until the output voltage needs to be boosted  
again.  
System Startup  
When enabled, the MP3397 checks the topology  
connection first. The chip monitors the over-  
voltage protection (OVP) pin to see if the  
Schottky diode is not connected or if the boost  
output is shorted to GND. An OVP voltage of less  
than 70mV will disable the chip. The MP3397  
also checks other safety limits, including UVLO  
and over-temperature protection (OTP) 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.  
Dimming Control  
The MP3397 provides two PWM dimming  
methods: external PWM signal or DC-input PWM  
dimming mode (see Figure 2).

flexibility helps to optimize the size of external  
components and improve the efficiency.  
Figure 2—PWM Dimming Method  
At the beginning of each cycle, the internal clock  
turns on the external MOSFET. A stabilizing  
ramp added to the output of the current sense  
amplifier prevents sub-harmonic oscillations for  
duty cycles greater than 50 percent. This result is  
fed into the PWM comparator. When this  
resulting voltage rises to the level of the error  
amplifier output voltage (VCOMP), the external  
MOSFET turns off.

MP3397—4-STRING, MAX 350mA/STRING WHITE LED DRIVER  
For external PWM dimming, ground the BOSC  
pin through a resistor, and apply an external  
PWM signal to the DBRT pin.  
The MP3397 will always attempt to light at least  
one string. If all strings are open, the MP3397  
shuts down the step-up converter. The strings  
will remain in this marked state until the chip  
reset.  
For DC-input PWM dimming, apply a DC analog  
signal to the DBRT pin, and connect a capacitor  
from BOSC to ground. The DC signal is then  
converted to a DPWM dimming signal with a  
proportional oscillation frequency.  
Short String Protection  
The MP3397 monitors the LEDX pin voltages to  
determine if a short string fault has occurred. If  
one or more strings are shorted, the  
corresponding LEDX pins tolerate this higher  
voltage. If an LEDX pin voltage is higher than  
6.3V, this condition triggers the detection of a  
short string. When a short string fault (LEDX  
over-voltage fault) continues for 4096 switching  
cycles, the fault string is marked OFF and  
disabled. Once a string is marked OFF, it  
disconnects from the output voltage loop. The  
marked LED strings shut off completely until the  
part restarts. If all strings are shorted, the  
MP3397 will shut down the step-up converter.  
The strings remain marked OFF until the chip  
resets.  
The brightness of the LED array is proportional to  
the duty cycle of the DPWM signal. The DPWM  
signal frequency is set by the capacitor from the  
BOSC pin to ground.  
Open String Protection  
Open string protection is achieved through the  
OVP pin and the LED (1 to 4) pins. If one or more  
strings are open, the respective LEDX pins are  
pulled to ground and the IC keeps charging the  
output voltage until it reaches the over-voltage  
protection (OVP) threshold. Then the chip marks  
which strings have an LEDX pin voltage lower  
than 196mV. Once marked, the remaining LED  
strings force the output voltage back into tight  
regulation. The string with the largest voltage  
drop determines the output regulation.

Selecting the Input Capacitor  
Vsense vs. Duty Cycle  
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 4.7μF ceramic capacitor  
in parallel with a 220µF electrolytic capacitor.

DUTY CYCLE (%)  
Selecting the Inductor and Current Sensing  
Resistor  
Figure 3—VSENSE vs Duty Cycle  
The MP3397 requires an inductor to supply a  
higher output voltage while being driven by the  
input voltage. A larger value inductor results in  
less ripple current, resulting in lower peak  
inductor current and reducing stress on the  
internal N-channel MOSFET. However, larger-  
value inductors have a larger physical size,  
higher series resistance, and lower saturation  
current.  
Selecting the Power MOSFET  
The MP3397 is capable of driving a wide variety  
of N-channel power MOSFETS. The critical  
parameters of selection of a MOSFET are:  
1. Maximum drain-to-source voltage, VDS(MAX)  
2. Maximum current, ID(MAX)  
3. On-resistance, RDS(ON)  
4. Gate source charge QGS and gate drain

5. Total gate charge, QG  
The total gate charge, QG, is used to calculate  
the gate drive loss. The expression is  
Ideally, the off-state voltage across the MOSFET  
is equal to the output voltage. Considering the  
voltage spike when it turns off, VDS(MAX) should be  
greater than 1.5 times of the output voltage.  
PDR QG VDR fSW  
Where VDR is the drive voltage.  
Selecting the Output Capacitor  
The maximum current through the power  
MOSFET occurs at the maximum input voltage  
and the maximum output power. The maximum  
RMS current through the MOSFET is given by  
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. For most applications, a  
4.7μF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 22μF  
electrolytic capacitor will suffice.

The current rating of the MOSFET should be  
greater than 1.5xIRMS  
Setting the Over Voltage Protection  
The open string protection is achieved through  
the detection of the voltage on the OVP pin. In  
some cases, an LED string failure results in the  
feedback voltage always zero. The part then  
keeps boosting the output voltage higher and  
higher. If the output voltage reaches the  
programmed OVP threshold, OVP will trigger.  
The ON resistance of the MOSFET determines  
the conduction loss, which is given by:  
2
Pcond IRMS RDS (on) k  
Where k is the temperature coefficient of the  
MOSFET.  
To ensure the chip functions properly, select the  
resistor values for the OVP resistor divider to  
provide an appropriate set voltage. The  
recommended OVP point is about 1.1 to 1.2  
times higher than the output voltage for normal  
operation.  
The switching loss is related to QGD and QGS1  
which determine the commutation time. QGS1 is  
the charge between the threshold voltage and  
the plateau voltage when a driver charges the  
gate, which can be read in the chart of VGS vs. QG  
of the MOSFET datasheet. QGD is the charge  
during the plateau voltage. These two  
parameters are needed to estimate the turn-on  
and turn-off losses.

1. Direct PWM Dimming  
An external PWM dimming signal is employed to  
achieve PWM dimming control. Connect a 100kꢀ  
resistor from BOSC pin to GND and apply a  
PWM dimming signal—in the range of 100Hz to  
20kHz—to the DBRT pin. The minimum  
recommended amplitude of the PWM signal is  
1.2V. The low level should be less than 0.4V  
(See Figure 4).  
Where VTH is the threshold voltage, VPLT is the  
plateau voltage, RG is the gate resistance, and  
VDS is the drain-source voltage. Please note that  
calculating the switching loss is the most difficult  
part in the loss estimation. The formula above  
provides a simplified equation. For more accurate  
estimates, the equation becomes much more  
complex.

Expanding LED Channels  
The MP3397 can expand the number of LED  
channels by using two or three MP3397s in  
parallel. To connect two MP3397s for a total of 8  
LED strings, tie the VCC pins of the master IC  
and the slave IC together to power the slave IC  
internal logic circuitry. Tie the COMP pins of the  
slave IC and the master IC together to regulate  
the voltage of all 8 strings LEDs. The slave IC  
MOSFET driving signals are not used; the boost  
converter can be only driven by the master IC.  
Do not leave the ISENSE pin of the slave IC  
floating; tie it to ground. Apply the EN and DIM  
signals to both ICs. For best results, use external  
PWM dimming mode for synchronized and  
accurate dimming.

Layout Considerations  
The circuit layout for the MP3397 requires  
special attention to reduce EMI noise.  
The loop from the external MOSFET (M1),  
through the output diode (D1) and the output  
capacitor (C2, C3) carry a high-frequency pulse  
current and must be as small and short as  
possible (See Figure 6).  
2. DC Input PWM Dimming  
For DC input PWM dimming, apply an analog  
signal (ranging from 0.2 V to 1.2V) to the DBRT  
pin to modulate the LED current directly. If the  
DBRT voltage falls below 0.2V, the PWM duty  
cycle will be 0%. If the DBRT voltage goes above  
1.2V, the output will be 100% (See Figure 5). The  
capacitor on BOSC pin sets the frequency of the  
internal triangle waveform according to the  
equation.  
f
BOSC (kHz)= 3.5 / CBOSC(nF)  
Chose a dimming frequency in the range of  
100Hz to 20kHz.  
Figure 6—Layout Consideration  
All logic signals return to the signal ground. In  
order to reduce the effects of noise, separate  
power ground (PGND) and signal ground (GND),  
and connect PGND and GND together through  
single point.
