MP4000
Offline High Brightness
White LED Driver Controller
DESCRIPTION
The MP4000 is a high efficiency step-down
converter designed for driving high brightness
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
The MP4000 drives an external MOSFET in the
floating buck converter structure. The inductor
current is regulated with boundary conduction
mode which features no reverse recovery loss
in the freewheeling diode and soft turn on for
the power MOSFET. Such operation mode can
achieve very high efficiency and at the same
time minimize the inductor value and size. Also,
the LED current can be well regulated by
controlling the MOSFET peak current, which is
sensed through an external resistor. Its low
300mV feedback voltage reduces power loss
and improves efficiency.
The MP4000 can accept an external PWM or a
DC signal for the burst dimming control.
The MP4000 features output short protection,
maximum switching frequency limit, under-
voltage lockout and thermal shut down.
