MP1521
High Efficiency White LED Driver
Monolithic Power Systems
General Description
The MP1521 is a constant-current Boost Regulator. This IC has three individual current-sensing feedbacks, which are ideal for driving multiple strings of series connected LEDs. The OLS pin is designed for detecting loose or open LED connections. The IC uses a peak current, constant minimum off-time architecture. The feedback pins measure voltage across sense resistors in series with the LED strings. When supplying a bias current of 20mA, the voltage drop across the sense resistor is only 0.4V to minimize power loss. Either a DC voltage or a PWM signal at the BRT/PWM input can control the LED brightness.
