Product details
Overview
MP24893DQ-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 decorative lighting and emergency signage requiring stable high-brightness LED current regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MP24893DQ-LF-Z datasheet, MP24893DQ-LF-Z pinout, MP24893DQ-LF-Z application, or MP24893DQ-LF-Z equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (QFN6-6), confirmed hysteretic control architecture, exact dimming interface behavior (0.3V–2.5V analog / 100Hz–2kHz PWM), thermal shutdown threshold (150°C), and validated alternative part selection guidance.
Technical Context
The MP24893DQ-LF-Z implements a fixed-frequency hysteretic control loop that regulates LED current by sensing voltage across an external high-side resistor (RS), maintaining peak-to-valley reference of 220–240mV / 160–180mV relative to VIN. No external compensation is required due to inherent stability of the hysteretic scheme.
It integrates a 36V-rated power MOSFET with 0.2Ω RDS(on), supports soft-start via EN/DIM pin capacitor (0.2ms/nF delay), and provides independent enable/dimming functionality: logic-level enable threshold (0.2–0.3V), 1000:1 PWM dimming resolution, and analog dimming range from 25% to 200% of full-scale current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 36V - supports 12V/24V automotive and industrial bus rails without pre-regulation |
| Max Output Current | 1A - sufficient to drive 3× high-brightness LEDs in series at typical forward voltage (~3.2V each) |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 202mV ±30mV - low-sense voltage minimizes I²R loss in current-sense resistor and improves efficiency |
| Dimming Interface | PWM + analog on single EN/DIM pin - enables flexible brightness control without extra ICs or routing complexity |
| Thermal Protection | 150°C junction shutdown with hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 50°C/W (QFN6) - enables 2.5W continuous dissipation at +25°C ambient, critical for enclosed LED fixtures |
Pinout & Package
MP24893DQ-LF-Z uses a RoHS-compliant QFN6 (3mm × 3mm, 0.4mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by index area (Option A or B per JEDEC MO-229 VEEA-2); pin 6 is NC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch Node | Drain of internal MOSFET - connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; carries high di/dt switching current |
| 2 (GND) | Power Ground | Reference for all internal circuits and return path for sense resistor current; must be low-impedance connection to thermal pad |
| 3 (IN) | Input Supply | High-voltage DC input - requires local 10–22µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to minimize input ripple and EMI |
| 4 (RS) | Current Sense Input | High-side sense node - connects to current-sense resistor; layout proximity to IN pin reduces measurement error |
| 5 (EN/DIM) | Enable & Dimming Control | Multi-function pin - 0.2V threshold enables operation; 0.3–2.5V analog dimming or 100Hz–2kHz PWM dimming; internal 1.275V pull-up sets default startup |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Not bonded - must remain unconnected and un-routed to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hysteretic Control Architecture | Eliminates need for external compensation components and provides sub-100ns transient response to load changes |
| Integrated 36V MOSFET | Reduces bill-of-materials count and PCB footprint versus discrete FET + controller solutions |
| 1000:1 PWM Dimming Resolution | Enables smooth, flicker-free brightness control down to 0.1% intensity in architectural and signage applications |
| 200mV Average Feedback Voltage | Lowers power loss in sense resistor by >60% vs. conventional 1V references, improving thermal performance |
| Single-Pin Dimming & Enable | Minimizes routing complexity and eliminates dedicated dimming ICs in space-constrained LED modules |

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 efficiency (up to 96%), lower quiescent current (0.5mA), and extended dimming frequency range (100Hz–10kHz) | Supports higher PWM frequencies for camera-synchronized backlighting and tighter thermal margins in compact designs | Select for new designs requiring longer lifetime, lower standby power, or compatibility with high-speed imaging systems |
| LM3409QMY/NOPB | Adjustable frequency (200kHz–2MHz), external MOSFET, higher max input (42V), but no integrated dimming logic or internal reference | Requires external PWM generator or DAC for dimming; better suited for custom high-power (>2A) or ultra-wide-input applications | Select when system-level control flexibility outweighs BOM simplification, or when >36V input is required |
Compared with MP24895DJ-LF-Z, MP24893DQ-LF-Z offers proven reliability in legacy automotive lighting but lacks updated efficiency and dimming bandwidth; versus LM3409QMY/NOPB, it trades external component count for fixed topology and reduced design iteration time.

FAQ
What is the recommended current-sense resistor value for 1A LED output?
The MP24893DQ-LF-Z regulates LED current using a high-side sense resistor where RSET = 202mV / ILED. For 1A output, RSET = 0.202Ω. A standard 0.2Ω, 1% tolerance, 1W metal-film resistor is recommended to maintain accuracy and thermal stability under continuous operation.
Can MP24893DQ-LF-Z drive more than three LEDs in series?
Yes - maximum LED string voltage depends on input voltage minus dropout. With 36V input and 0.2Ω RDS(on), the device supports up to ~30V LED string (e.g., 9× 3.3V LEDs) at 1A, provided minimum on-time (100ns) and duty cycle (30–70%) constraints are met per application circuit design.
Is the EN/DIM pin compatible with microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting?
Yes - the EN/DIM pin accepts 0.3V–2.5V analog signals and 1.5V+ amplitude PWM waveforms directly from 3.3V or 5V MCU GPIOs. Its internal 1.275V pull-up and 45kΩ pull-up resistor eliminate need for external biasing in most digital control configurations.
Why does the datasheet state "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS"?
MPS issued this notice because MP24895 replaces MP24893 with enhanced efficiency, lower IQ, wider PWM dimming range, and improved thermal performance. MP24893DQ-LF-Z remains fully qualified and supported for existing designs and legacy production, but MP24895 is preferred for new projects.
Does MP24893DQ-LF-Z require an output capacitor?
No - the MP24893DQ-LF-Z operates in continuous conduction mode and does not require an output capacitor for basic operation. However, a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor across the LED string reduces peak-to-peak current ripple to <30% of average current if low-ripple performance is critical for visual quality or photometric compliance.
How is thermal performance affected by the QFN6 exposed pad?
The QFN6 package's exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a minimum 100mm² copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to inner ground plane. This configuration achieves θJA ≈ 50°C/W, allowing 2.5W continuous dissipation at +25°C ambient - essential for enclosed LED fixture reliability.
What failure protections are built into MP24893DQ-LF-Z?
The device integrates under-voltage lockout (5.3V turn-on, 700mV hysteresis), thermal shutdown at 150°C junction temperature with automatic recovery, and overcurrent limiting via hysteretic valley detection. No external protection components are required for basic fault coverage.
