Product details
Overview
MP3302DD-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 40V, 1.3A step-up white LED driver IC designed for single-cell Li-ion battery-powered LCD backlighting. It integrates a 0.5Ω internal MOSFET, regulates LED current via 200mV feedback voltage, operates at 1.3MHz fixed frequency, and supports single-wire analog/PWM dimming. Used in 5"–7" LCD panels with up to 10-series LED strings.
For engineers reviewing the MP3302DD-LF-Z datasheet, MP3302DD-LF-Z pinout, MP3302DD-LF-Z application, or MP3302DD-LF-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include open-load shutdown (42V threshold), 2.5–6V input range, thermal shutdown at 150°C, UVLO hysteresis of 92mV, and QFN8 (2mm × 3mm) package compatibility with high-density portable layouts.
Technical Context
The MP3302DD-LF-Z implements a constant-frequency peak-current-mode boost converter architecture with internal 1.3A switch and 200mV precision feedback reference. Its control loop uses a stabilizing ramp to suppress subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle and regulates output current by comparing sensed resistor voltage against the 200mV reference.
Dimming is implemented through the EN pin: DC voltage (0.7–1.4V) enables analog dimming by scaling VFB linearly from 0–200mV; PWM signals (200Hz–1kHz, ≥1.5V amplitude) enable digital dimming. Open-circuit protection triggers shutdown when VSW exceeds 42V, preventing overvoltage damage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6V - Supports single-cell Li-ion (3.3V–4.2V) with 0.5V headroom for dropout and ripple. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.3MHz (typ) - Enables use of small 4.7µH inductors and 0.47µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Feedback Voltage | 200mV (typ) - Minimizes I²R loss across sense resistor, improving efficiency in high-current LED strings. |
| Current Limit | 1.33A (typ) - Limits peak inductor current to protect internal MOSFET during startup or overload. |
| Open-Load Threshold | 42V (typ) - Triggers automatic shutdown if LED string opens, preventing uncontrolled VOUT rise beyond safe level. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C (typ) - Halts switching until junction cools, protecting die integrity under sustained high-power operation. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.45V (rising) - Prevents erratic startup below minimum battery voltage; 92mV hysteresis avoids chatter near cutoff. |
Pinout & Package
MP3302DD-LF-Z is housed in an RoHS-compliant 8-pin QFN package (2mm × 3mm) with exposed thermal pad connected to GND. The compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained handheld devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5 | GND / Exposed Pad | Primary ground return and thermal path; exposed pad must be soldered to solid GND plane for θJA = 80°C/W. |
| 2 | IN | Input power supply pin; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor to minimize high-frequency noise coupling. |
| 3 | NC | No-connect terminal; left floating per datasheet - no internal connection or function. |
| 4 | EN | Enable/dimming control input; accepts 0.6V ON / 0.4V OFF thresholds and 0.7–1.4V analog dimming range. |
| 6 | FB | Feedback input; senses voltage across external current-sense resistor to regulate LED current at 200mV. |
| 7 | SW | Switch node output; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; swings from GND to ≤36V. |
| 8 | GND | Dedicated signal ground pin - tied internally to pins 1 and 5, but routed separately for noise isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-wire dimming interface | EN pin supports both analog (DC voltage) and PWM (200Hz–1kHz) dimming without additional control lines. |
| Integrated 0.5Ω MOSFET | Eliminates need for external high-side switch, reducing BOM count and board area in portable backlight designs. |
| Open-load shutdown | Automatically disables switching when VSW > 42V, preventing destructive overvoltage during LED string failure. |
| Internal soft-start | Controls inrush current at startup, limiting VIN surge and minimizing output overshoot on cold start. |
| Thermal + UVLO + current limit protection | Three independent fault safeguards ensure robust operation across battery voltage sag, ambient temperature extremes, and load transients. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white LED boost driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RT9397BZSP | Fixed 1.2MHz frequency; 200mV FB; no integrated MOSFET - requires external 0.2Ω switch. | Lacks single-wire dimming - uses separate DIM pin and requires external PWM generator. | Choose when external MOSFET selection is needed for higher current or thermal partitioning. |
| LM3409QMYX/NOPB | Adjustable frequency (200kHz–2MHz); 210mV FB; external MOSFET; no integrated dimming control logic. | Requires external op-amp or microcontroller for analog dimming; lacks EN-based single-wire implementation. | Prefer when programmable frequency or higher output voltage (>40V) capability is required. |

FAQ
What input voltage range does MP3302DD-LF-Z support?
The MP3302DD-LF-Z operates from 2.5V to 6V input, optimized for single-cell Li-ion batteries (3.3V–4.2V nominal). Its 2.45V UVLO rising threshold and 92mV hysteresis ensure clean startup and prevent oscillation during battery discharge near end-of-life.
How is LED current set and regulated?
LED current is set by an external sense resistor between FB and GND, using ILED = 200mV / RSENSE. The IC regulates the voltage across this resistor to 200mV (±15mV) via its internal error amplifier and current-mode control loop, achieving tight current accuracy across temperature and input voltage.
Can MP3302DD-LF-Z drive more than 10 series LEDs?
No - the datasheet specifies "drives up to 10 series white LEDs" based on its 40V absolute maximum SW pin rating and typical 36V operational limit. Driving >10 WLEDs (≈30–33V forward drop) risks exceeding safe SW voltage swing and triggering open-load shutdown at 42V.
What thermal performance can be expected in QFN8 package?
In the 2mm × 3mm QFN8 package with exposed pad soldered to a 1-in² 1oz copper GND plane, θJA is 80°C/W. At 1.3A switch current and 87% efficiency, power dissipation is ~180mW, resulting in ~14°C junction-to-ambient rise - well within the –40°C to +125°C operating range.
Does MP3302DD-LF-Z support PWM dimming above 1kHz?
Yes - high-frequency PWM dimming (>1kHz) is supported using an external RC filter on the EN pin, as shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet. A 20kΩ resistor and 100nF capacitor (cutoff ≈10× PWM frequency) converts PWM into a DC voltage that scales LED current linearly from 0–100%.
Is there a minimum recommended output capacitor value?
Yes - the datasheet specifies 0.47µF as sufficient for most applications. This value ensures stable loop response and limits output ripple under transient load conditions while remaining compatible with small 0603/0805 ceramic capacitors in portable designs.
What protection features are built into MP3302DD-LF-Z?
The IC includes under-voltage lockout (UVLO), internal 1.33A current limit, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and open-load shutdown at 42V. All protections are fully integrated and require no external components - they operate autonomously to prevent damage during fault conditions.
