Product details
Overview
MP3302DJ-LF-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a single-cell step-up white LED driver IC with integrated 1.3A MOSFET, fixed 1.3MHz switching frequency, 200mV feedback reference, and single-wire analog/PWM dimming control. It regulates up to 10 series white LEDs from 2.5–6V input, delivering stable current in handheld LCD backlighting applications.
For engineers reviewing the MP3302DJ-LF-P datasheet, MP3302DJ-LF-P pinout, MP3302DJ-LF-P application, or MP3302DJ-LF-P equivalent, key selection criteria include open-load shutdown at 42V, internal thermal shutdown at 150°C, UVLO thresholds (2.45V rising), and TSOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MP3302DJ-LF-P implements constant-frequency peak-current-mode boost regulation with an internal 0.5Ω power switch and 200mV precision feedback reference. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against this reference to adjust PWM duty cycle, maintaining LED current accuracy across input and temperature variations.
Single-wire dimming operates via EN pin: DC voltages between 0.7V–1.4V linearly scale regulated FB voltage from 0–200mV for analog dimming; 200Hz–1kHz square waves enable PWM dimming. Open-circuit protection triggers shutdown when SW exceeds 42V, preventing overvoltage damage to LED strings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6V - supports single Li-ion battery operation without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.3MHz (typ) - enables use of small 4.7µH inductors and 0.47µF output capacitors for compact PCB layout. |
| Feedback Reference | 200mV (typ) - reduces I²R loss in current-sense resistor, improving efficiency at high LED currents. |
| Current Limit | 1.33A (typ) - sets maximum switch conduction capability, limiting peak inductor current during startup or overload. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.45V (rising) - prevents erratic operation during battery discharge below functional voltage. |
| Open-Load Shutdown | 42V (typ) - disables switching if LED string opens, protecting output components from overvoltage stress. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C (typ) - halts operation to prevent permanent junction damage under sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
MP3302DJ-LF-P is housed in a 5-pin TSOT23 package with exposed pad connected to GND for thermal management. Pin 3 (NC) is not internally connected and must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Power Switch Drain | Drives external inductor; swings from GND to up to 36V; requires low-inductance routing to minimize EMI. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Main signal and power ground; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB GND plane for thermal performance. |
| 3 (NC) | No Connect | Unbonded die pad; must be left floating-no trace or copper connection permitted. |
| 4 (EN) | Enable & Dimming Input | DC voltage 0.7–1.4V enables analog dimming; >1.5V PWM toggles full on/off; <0.4V disables device. |
| 5 (IN) | Input Supply | Connects to 2.5–6V source; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1.3A MOSFET | Eliminates need for external high-side switch, reducing BOM count and board area in portable backlight designs. |
| Single-Wire Dimming | EN pin supports both analog (0.7–1.4V DC) and PWM (200Hz–1kHz) dimming without additional control lines. |
| 200mV Feedback Reference | Enables use of low-value, high-precision sense resistors (e.g., 1.11Ω for 180mA), minimizing power loss and heat. |
| Open-Load Protection | Shuts down SW output when VSW > 42V, preventing destructive overvoltage during LED string failure. |
| Thermal + UVLO + Current Limit | Three independent protection circuits ensure robust operation across battery voltage sag, ambient temperature rise, and shorted loads. |

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; 1.2A switch; 200mV FB; no integrated soft-start. | Lacks internal soft-start and open-load shutdown; requires external circuitry for safe startup and fault handling. | Prefer MP3302DJ-LF-P where robust fault protection and simplified design are required. |
| TPS61165DRVR | 1.2MHz switching; 1.2A switch; 200mV FB; integrated PWM-to-analog converter. | Requires external PWM generator; lacks native analog dimming via EN pin voltage scaling. | Choose MP3302DJ-LF-P for direct analog dimming control without added ICs or firmware overhead. |
Compared with RT9397BZSP and TPS61165DRVR, MP3302DJ-LF-P uniquely integrates single-wire analog dimming, open-load shutdown, and thermal/UVLO/current protections in a TSOT23-5 package-reducing component count and validation effort for portable LED backlight systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of white LEDs the MP3302DJ-LF-P can drive in series?
The MP3302DJ-LF-P supports up to 10 white LEDs in series, assuming typical forward voltage of 3.2V per LED (32V total), staying within its 40V absolute maximum SW pin rating and 42V open-load shutdown threshold. At higher LED counts, output voltage approaches protection limits, reducing design margin.
Can the MP3302DJ-LF-P operate from a 3.3V input with full 180mA LED current?
Yes. The datasheet confirms operation at 3.3V input driving 9 strings of 3 WLEDs at 180mA total current. Efficiency remains above 75% at this condition, and the 2.45V UVLO ensures stable startup even as the Li-ion cell discharges toward 3.3V.
How does the EN pin function for analog dimming versus PWM dimming?
For analog dimming, apply a stable DC voltage between 0.7V and 1.4V to EN: 0.7V yields ~0% LED current, 1.4V yields 100%. For PWM dimming, apply a 200Hz–1kHz square wave ≥1.5V amplitude; duty cycle directly controls average LED brightness without altering current regulation setpoint.
Is an external Schottky diode required, and what specifications are recommended?
Yes-an external Schottky diode is mandatory in the boost topology. MPS recommends B0540 (40V, 500mA) or equivalent: low forward voltage (<0.4V) minimizes conduction loss, and fast recovery prevents reverse recovery spikes that degrade efficiency and EMI performance.
What is the purpose of the NC pin (Pin 3) in the TSOT23-5 package?
Pin 3 is a no-connect terminal-unbonded at the die level. It must remain electrically isolated: no trace, no copper pour, and no solder mask opening. Connecting it risks internal shorting or unpredictable latch-up behavior due to proximity to sensitive analog nodes.
Does the MP3302DJ-LF-P require an external current-sense resistor, and how is its value calculated?
Yes. The LED current is set by RSENSE = 0.2V / ILED. For example, 180mA requires 1.11Ω (1% tolerance). The resistor connects between LED string cathode and GND, with FB tied to the cathode node-ensuring accurate current regulation independent of LED VF variation.
