Product details
Overview
MP24830HS-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 90V white LED driver IC supporting both buck and inverting buck-boost topologies, with programmable switching frequency (30–465 kHz), 0.2V feedback reference, and integrated analog/PWM dimming on a single pin. It delivers up to 1A output current, operates from 4.5V–85V input, and provides cycle-by-cycle over-current, open-string, short-circuit, and thermal shutdown protection - deployed in automotive LED headlamps and LCD backlight systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP24830HS-LF-Z datasheet, MP24830HS-LF-Z pinout, MP24830HS-LF-Z application, or MP24830HS-LF-Z equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-mode topology support, 14-pin SOIC package with exposed thermal pad, 0.2V precision current-sense reference, DIM/EN logic referenced to INGND for high-side dimming control, and OVP threshold programmability via external resistor divider.
Technical Context
The MP24830HS-LF-Z implements current-mode control using an internal error amplifier (80 µs transconductance) and peak-current sensing through the CS pin, enabling fast transient response and stable loop compensation across wide input/output voltage ranges. Its architecture supports both buck and buck-boost configurations without external topology reconfiguration - determined by external component placement rather than internal logic.
Dimming is implemented via a unified DIM pin accepting 0.6–1.95V analog control or 100Hz–2kHz PWM signals >2V, with DIMO providing buffered gate drive for external dimming MOSFETs. Protection functions are hardware-based: open-string detection triggers at FB <0.1V + OVP >1.2V; short-circuit latching occurs at FB >600mV (immediate) or >300mV for 450µs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 85V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V/48V industrial and automotive supplies without pre-regulation |

Pinout & Package
MP24830HS-LF-Z is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package with exposed thermal pad on underside (pin 12 VSS connected to pad). The package meets RoHS and halogen-free requirements, with 0.050" lead pitch and JEDEC MS-012 AB compliance.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 3 VDD | Main supply input | 4.5V–85V unregulated input; bypassed with ceramic capacitor to suppress switching noise and input transients |
| 4 INGND | Input ground reference | Reference node for EN and DIM signals; isolates control logic from power ground noise in high-side dimming configurations |
| 5 DIM | Combined analog/PWM dimming input | Voltage range 0.6–1.95V sets LED current linearly; >2V enables full current; PWM edges directly modulate output current |
| 6 EN | Enable input | Active-high enable referenced to INGND; thresholds at 0.4V (off) and 1.4V (on); supports system-level power sequencing |
| 7 RSET | Frequency programming input | Resistor-to-VSS sets fSW: 100kΩ → ~215 kHz; open → 350 kHz; 380kΩ → ~50 kHz - enables EMI tuning and efficiency optimization |
| 8 OVP | Over-voltage protection monitor | Voltage divider from LED+ sets shutdown threshold (1.2V internal trip); also detects short-circuit when OVP <0.4V + FB <0.1V |
| 9 COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to RC network (RCOMP, CZ, CP) for loop compensation; integrates FB error to regulate peak inductor current |
| 10 FB | Current-sense feedback input | Monitors voltage across external sense resistor; regulated at 0.2V; triggers short-circuit protection if >300mV for 450µs |
| 11 DIMO | Dimming output driver | Push-pull output (±50mA) synchronized to DIM logic; drives external dimming FET gate for high-fidelity PWM dimming |
| 12 VSS | Power return / thermal pad connection | Main ground reference for all internal circuits; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB copper for thermal performance and noise immunity |
| 13 BST | Bootstrap supply input | Connects to ceramic capacitor (≥100nF) between BST and SW; generates floating gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET |
| 14 SW | Switch node | Connects to source of high-side MOSFET and cathode of Schottky diode; carries full switching current and high dv/dt |

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage supported by MP24830HS-LF-Z in buck-boost mode?
In buck-boost configuration, the MP24830HS-LF-Z supports LED string voltages exceeding the input supply - up to 85V (limited by VDD–VSS absolute max rating). The actual maximum depends on external MOSFET and diode ratings, but the IC itself regulates correctly with VLED = 100V when VIN = 12V, provided external components are rated accordingly and layout minimizes parasitic inductance.
Can MP24830HS-LF-Z operate without an external MOSFET in buck mode?
No. The MP24830HS-LF-Z is a controller IC - it does not integrate a power switch. In buck mode, it requires an external N-channel MOSFET connected between SW and VSS, plus a Schottky diode from SW to LED–. The DR pin drives the MOSFET gate, and BST–SW capacitor supplies the gate drive voltage.
How is the 0.2V feedback reference used to set LED current?
LED current is set by a sense resistor (RFB) between FB and VSS: ILED = 0.2V / RFB. For example, a 0.2Ω resistor yields 1A nominal current. The FB pin draws only ±50nA, so resistor tolerance and temperature coefficient dominate accuracy - 1% metal film resistors are recommended for <2% total current error.
Does MP24830HS-LF-Z support PWM dimming frequencies above 2kHz?
The datasheet specifies optimal PWM dimming between 100Hz and 2kHz. While higher frequencies (e.g., 10kHz) may function, they degrade dimming linearity due to limited DIMO slew rate and internal comparator propagation delay. For >2kHz dimming, use the DIMO pin to drive an external MOSFET with faster gate characteristics and optimized gate resistor.
What is the purpose of the INGND pin, and can it be tied to VSS?
INGND provides a dedicated reference for DIM and EN signals, isolating control logic from power ground noise - critical for stable dimming in high-current buck-boost layouts. It must not be tied directly to VSS if the LED string is grounded (common-anode configuration); doing so defeats the isolation benefit and risks false dimming or enable behavior due to ground bounce.
How does the MP24830HS-LF-Z respond to an open LED string?
When the LED string opens, FB falls near 0V and OVP rises due to the voltage divider. Once OVP exceeds 1.2V, the IC disables switching and enters latch-off state. Recovery requires cycling EN or removing/reapplying input power. No automatic retry occurs - this prevents uncontrolled voltage rise and protects downstream components.
Is thermal derating required for continuous 1A operation in SOIC-14 package?
Yes. At +85°C ambient, the SOIC-14 package's 86°C/W θJA limits continuous power dissipation to ~0.5W. With typical 85% efficiency at 1A/40V output, power dissipation is ~0.7W - requiring either reduced load current, forced airflow, or use of the QFN-14 package (θJA = 49°C/W) for full 1A operation at elevated temperatures.
