Product details
Overview
MP24895GQ-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a step-down white-LED driver IC with internal 36V MOSFET, designed for continuous-current operation across 6–36V input and delivering up to 1A LED current. It uses hysteretic control for fast transient response, senses current via external high-side resistor with 100mV feedback voltage, and supports combined PWM/analog dimming on the EN/DIM pin for automotive lighting and emergency signage.
For engineers reviewing the MP24895GQ-Z datasheet, MP24895GQ-Z pinout, MP24895GQ-Z application, or MP24895GQ-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1000:1 PWM dimming resolution, thermal shutdown at 150°C, QFN-6 (3×3mm) package with exposed pad, 100mV ±6mV reference accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and dual-dimming capability requiring no external compensation.
Technical Context
The MP24895GQ-Z implements a fixed-frequency hysteretic control architecture that eliminates loop compensation while maintaining stable regulation across wide input and load variations. Its internal 36V/0.4Ω MOSFET and high-side current sensing enable direct integration into buck LED topologies without external switching elements.
Dimming is implemented through a single EN/DIM pin supporting both analog (0.3–2.5V DC, 25–200% current range) and PWM (100Hz–2kHz, 1000:1 resolution) modes. The 1.275V internal reference and 0.2V enable threshold provide precise startup and soft-start control via external capacitor.
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 - drives up to 10 white LEDs in series at typical forward voltage of 3.2V |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 100mV ±6mV - low-sense voltage minimizes power loss in RSENSE and improves efficiency |
| PWM Dimming Resolution | 1000:1 - enables fine brightness control in architectural and emergency lighting |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150°C with 15°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload in enclosed fixtures |
| UVLO Threshold | 5.3V (rising), 4.6V (falling) - ensures reliable start-up and brown-out recovery in vehicle systems |
| Switch RDS(on) | 0.4Ω max - limits conduction loss at 1A, enabling >90% efficiency at 24V input/10V output |
Pinout & Package
MP24895GQ-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-6 (3×3mm) package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for high-power LED driver applications requiring compact layout and efficient heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch Node | Drain of internal 36V 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 LED current - must be low-impedance connection to thermal pad |
| 3 (IN) | Input Supply | Primary power input; requires local 10–22µF low-ESR ceramic decoupling capacitor to suppress VIN ripple |
| 4 (RS) | Current Sense Input | High-side sense node; connects to RSENSE between IN and LED cathode - sets ILED = 100mV / RSENSE |
| 5 (EN/DIM) | Enable & Dimming Control | Multi-function pin: 0.2V disable threshold, 0.3–2.5V analog dimming, or 100Hz–2kHz PWM input - internal 1.275V pull-up enables auto-start |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected per datasheet; no routing or soldering required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hysteretic Control Architecture | Eliminates external compensation components and delivers <1µs load transient response for dynamic LED brightness changes |
| Integrated 36V MOSFET | Reduces BOM count by removing external switch; 0.4Ω RDS(on) enables full 1A output without heatsink in QFN-6 |
| Dual Dimming Mode Support | Single-pin PWM/analog dimming simplifies system-level control - no mode-select pins or configuration registers needed |
| 100mV Feedback Reference | Minimizes I²R loss in sense resistor; allows use of standard 0.1Ω or 0.2Ω resistors with <1% tolerance for ±3% LED current accuracy |
| Thermal & UVLO Protection | Prevents latch-up during cold-cranking (low-VIN) or thermal overload in sealed enclosures - automatic recovery after fault clearance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ24895GQ-A | Automotive-grade variant with AEC-Q100 qualification, extended temperature range (–40°C to +150°C), and enhanced ESD robustness (±8kV HBM) | Required for under-hood or headlamp applications; not necessary for interior or signage use | Select MPQ24895GQ-A only when automotive qualification is mandated by OEM specification |
| LT3476EFE#TRPBF | Quad-output synchronous buck LED driver with 3000:1 PWM dimming, but requires external MOSFETs and higher BOM cost | Suitable for multi-string RGB applications; over-engineered for single-string white LED needs | Choose LT3476 only when driving ≥2 independent LED strings with tight current matching |
Compared with MPQ24895GQ-A, the MP24895GQ-Z offers identical electrical performance at lower cost and smaller footprint but lacks AEC-Q100 validation; versus LT3476EFE#TRPBF, it reduces component count and layout complexity for single-string designs while trading off multi-channel flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable LED string voltage supported by MP24895GQ-Z?
The MP24895GQ-Z does not regulate output voltage directly; it regulates LED current in buck topology. Maximum LED string voltage equals VIN minus dropout - typically up to ~32V at 36V input, assuming minimal forward drop across internal MOSFET and Schottky diode. Designers must ensure VIN – VLED ≥ 2V for stable operation.
Can MP24895GQ-Z drive multiple parallel LED strings?
No - the MP24895GQ-Z is designed for single-string constant-current operation using high-side sensing. Driving parallel strings would cause current imbalance due to VF mismatch; for multi-string applications, use one MP24895GQ-Z per string or select a multi-channel driver like MPQ24894.
How is soft-start time calculated for MP24895GQ-Z?
Soft-start delay is set by an external capacitor from EN/DIM to GND. The datasheet specifies ≈0.2ms/nF - e.g., a 10nF capacitor yields ~2ms ramp-up. In PWM dimming, keep C ≤ 2.2nF to avoid averaging effects on dimming duty cycle.
Does MP24895GQ-Z require an output capacitor?
No output capacitor is required for basic operation. However, if peak-to-peak LED current ripple must be <40% of average current, add a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor across the LED string - this reduces ripple proportionally without affecting regulation loop stability.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for RS pin routing?
RSENSE must be placed adjacent to both IN and RS pins with short, symmetric traces to minimize parasitic inductance and voltage error. Avoid sharing ground paths with high-di/dt SW node; use dedicated Kelvin connections to the sense resistor terminals for ±1% current accuracy.
Is the NC pin on MP24895GQ-Z electrically isolated or tied internally?
Pin 6 is designated NC (No Connect) in the datasheet and is not bonded to any internal circuitry. It must remain unconnected - no trace, pad, or solder should be attached. Leaving it floating avoids unintended coupling or thermal stress on the die.
