Product details
Overview
MP24893DJ-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a hysteretic-controlled step-down white LED driver IC with 6V–36V input range, internal 36V/1A MOSFET, 200mV average feedback voltage, and dual PWM/analog dimming via EN/DIM pin-designed for automotive LED lighting, emergency signage, and low-voltage halogen replacement systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP24893DJ-LF-Z datasheet, MP24893DJ-LF-Z pinout, MP24893DJ-LF-Z application, or MP24893DJ-LF-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1000:1 PWM dimming resolution, TSOT23-5 package thermal limits (1.1W @ 25°C), hysteretic loop stability without compensation, and explicit "Not Recommended for New Designs" status per MPS Rev. 1.02.
Technical Context
The MP24893 operates in continuous conduction mode using high-side current sensing through an external resistor (RS) to regulate LED current with ±30mV hysteresis around 202mV reference. Its hysteretic control eliminates need for external compensation components and delivers sub-100ns response to load transients.
Dimming is implemented via the EN/DIM pin: analog dimming accepts 0.3V–2.5V DC to scale LED current from 25% to 200%, while PWM dimming uses 100Hz–2kHz square waves with minimum 1.5V amplitude; internal 1.275V reference and 45kΩ pull-up enable soft-start when capacitor is added to EN/DIM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 36V - supports 12V/24V automotive rails and industrial DC supplies without pre-regulation |
| Max Output Current | 1A - drives up to 3-series high-brightness white LEDs at full brightness |
| Feedback Voltage | 202mV ±30mV - low VSENSE minimizes power loss in current-sense resistor |
| PWM Dimming Ratio | 1000:1 - enables precise brightness control in architectural and emergency lighting |
| Min/Max On-Off Time | 100ns each - ensures stable operation at high switching frequencies (200–600kHz typical) |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction - protects against sustained overload in enclosed fixtures |
| UVLO Threshold | 5.9V rising, 700mV hysteresis - prevents erratic startup during brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MP24893DJ-LF-Z is packaged in TSOT23-5 (0.95mm pitch, 2.9×1.6mm footprint), optimized for space-constrained LED modules. Thermal resistance θJA = 110°C/W enables 1.1W continuous dissipation at +25°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Drain of internal MOSFET | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; handles peak switch current and high dv/dt |
| 2 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Reference for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance return path for RS and IN decoupling |
| 3 (EN/DIM) | Enable and dimming command input | Accepts 0.3–2.5V analog or 100Hz–2kHz PWM; internal 1.275V reference enables soft-start with external capacitor |
| 4 (RS) | High-side current-sense input | Measures voltage across external sense resistor to regulate LED current; routed with minimal trace length to reduce noise |
| 5 (IN) | Input supply pin | Connects to bulk input capacitor (10–22µF); requires low-ESR ceramic for high-frequency ripple suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hysteretic control architecture | Eliminates need for external compensation network and provides instantaneous transient response |
| Integrated 36V MOSFET | Enables single-chip solution for 36V-input LED strings without external high-voltage switch |
| Dual dimming interface | Single EN/DIM pin supports both analog (0.3–2.5V) and PWM (100Hz–2kHz) without mode-select pins |
| Low 200mV feedback voltage | Reduces I²R loss in sense resistor by >75% vs. conventional 1V references, improving efficiency at 1A |
| Under-voltage lockout + thermal shutdown | Prevents operation below 5.3V and disables output above 150°C junction temperature |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down white LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP24895DJ-LF-Z | Successor with improved thermal performance (θJA = 90°C/W), lower quiescent current (0.5mA), and extended dimming linearity | Recommended for new designs; supports same TSOT23-5 footprint but requires updated PCB layout for enhanced thermal pad exposure | Select for production ramps requiring long-term availability and higher efficiency at 125°C ambient |
| LM3409QMY/NOPB | Adjustable frequency (200kHz–2MHz), external MOSFET, no integrated switch; requires separate gate driver and sense amplifier | Suitable for >1A or >40V applications where MP24893's 36V/1A limits are exceeded | Choose when system-level flexibility (e.g., synchronous rectification, multi-string control) outweighs integration benefits |
Compared with MP24893DJ-LF-Z, MP24895DJ-LF-Z offers higher reliability in thermally constrained enclosures and longer design lifecycle, while LM3409QMY/NOPB trades integration for scalability beyond 1A and 36V-making it appropriate only when the original part's limitations are actively constraining the application.

FAQ
Is MP24893DJ-LF-Z pin-compatible with MP24895DJ-LF-Z?
No. While both use TSOT23-5 packaging, MP24895DJ-LF-Z features revised pin functions including dedicated thermal pad connection and altered EN/DIM threshold voltages. PCB redesign is required for migration, though schematic-level changes are minimal.
What is the maximum allowable LED string voltage for MP24893DJ-LF-Z?
The maximum LED forward voltage is VIN – VSW(on) – VF(diode), limited by the 36V input rating and internal MOSFET RDS(on) of 0.2Ω. At 1A, this supports up to ~32V LED string (e.g., 9×3.5V white LEDs) with 24V input and Schottky diode drop.
Can MP24893DJ-LF-Z drive multiple parallel LED strings?
No. It regulates current through a single high-side sense resistor and is designed for series-connected LEDs only. Parallel strings require individual current regulation per string to prevent thermal runaway and mismatch.
Why does MP24893DJ-LF-Z specify "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
MPS issued this designation in Rev. 1.02 (Dec 2012) due to the release of MP24895, which improves thermal performance, dimming linearity, and long-term supply assurance. MP24893 remains fully functional but has limited future roadmap support.
What is the minimum recommended input capacitance for MP24893DJ-LF-Z?
A minimum 10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor rated ≥35V is required at the IN pin to suppress high-frequency switching noise and limit surge current into the internal MOSFET. Lower values risk instability and increased EMI.
Does MP24893DJ-LF-Z support synchronization to an external clock?
No. The hysteretic control architecture lacks external clock input or frequency programming capability. Switching frequency varies with input voltage, output load, and inductance-typically 200–600kHz under normal operating conditions.
How is thermal performance affected when using TSOT23-5 versus QFN6 packages?
TSOT23-5 has θJA = 110°C/W and max 1.1W dissipation at 25°C, while QFN6 (3×3mm) achieves θJA = 50°C/W and 2.5W. For 1A operation at 36V input, QFN6 reduces junction temperature rise by ~65°C, enabling higher ambient or longer duty cycles.
