Product details
Overview
MP3302DJ-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a 40V, 1.3A single-cell step-up white LED driver with fixed-frequency current-mode control, 200mV feedback voltage, and single-wire analog/PWM dimming. It integrates a 0.5Ω internal MOSFET switch and regulates LED current via external sense resistor for up to 10-series WLED strings in handheld LCD backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the MP3302DJ-LF-Z datasheet, MP3302DJ-LF-Z pinout, MP3302DJ-LF-Z application, or MP3302DJ-LF-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.3MHz switching frequency, open-load shutdown at 42V, thermal shutdown at 150°C, UVLO (2.45V rising), and compatibility with TSOT23-5 footprint for space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MP3302DJ-LF-Z implements a constant-frequency peak-current-mode boost converter architecture with internal ramp compensation to suppress subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against a trimmed 200mV reference to regulate LED current.
Dimming is implemented through EN pin: DC voltage (0.7–1.4V) enables analog dimming by scaling FB reference linearly from 0–200mV; PWM signals (200Hz–1kHz, ≥1.5V amplitude) provide digital brightness control. Open-circuit protection disables SW when VOUT exceeds 42V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6V - supports single Li-ion battery operation without overvoltage stress on internal circuitry |
| Switching Frequency | 1.3MHz (typ) - enables use of small 4.7µH inductors and 0.47µF output capacitors in compact layouts |
| Feedback Voltage | 200mV (typ) - reduces I²R loss across sense resistor, improving efficiency at high LED currents |
| SW Pin Max Voltage | 36V - defines maximum achievable LED string voltage (e.g., 10×3.3V WLEDs = 33V) |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C - protects die during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.45V (rising) - prevents erratic startup below usable battery voltage, ensuring stable regulation |
| Open-Load Shutdown | 42V (rising) - disables switching if LED string opens, preventing uncontrolled voltage rise and capacitor overstress |
Pinout & Package
MP3302DJ-LF-Z is packaged in a 5-pin TSOT23-5 with exposed pad connected to GND for thermal dissipation. The package measures 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.85mm and is RoHS-compliant.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SW | Drain of internal 0.5Ω MOSFET - connects to inductor and rectifier; swings from GND to ≤36V |
| 2 | GND | Power and signal ground - must be tied to exposed pad for thermal performance and noise immunity |
| 3 | FB | Current-sense feedback input - regulates LED current by holding voltage across RSENSE at 200mV |
| 4 | EN | Enable/dimming control - logic-level ON/OFF and analog/PWM dimming interface (0.4V/0.6V thresholds) |
| 5 | IN | Input supply pin - requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor to minimize high-frequency ripple |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1.3A MOSFET switch | Eliminates external high-side switch, reducing BOM count and layout area in portable backlight systems |
| Single-wire dimming interface | EN pin supports both analog (0.7–1.4V DC) and PWM (200Hz–1kHz) dimming without additional control lines |
| 200mV precision feedback reference | Enables use of low-value, low-power sense resistors (e.g., 1.11Ω for 180mA), minimizing board heat generation |
| Open-load and thermal protection | Automatically disables SW output on LED string failure or junction overheating, preventing system damage |
| 1.3MHz fixed-frequency operation | Allows full utilization of small, low-DCR inductors and ceramic capacitors, critical for thin handheld form factors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up white LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RT9397BZSP | Fixed 1.2MHz frequency, 1.2A switch, 200mV FB, but no integrated soft-start or open-load shutdown | Lacks open-circuit protection - requires external OVP circuit for fail-safe LED string monitoring | Prefer MP3302DJ-LF-Z where automatic open-load response is required in unattended devices |
| TPS61165DRVR | 1.2MHz, 1.2A switch, 200mV FB, supports I²C dimming but no analog EN dimming | Requires I²C host controller; incompatible with simple GPIO-based dimming schemes | Choose MP3302DJ-LF-Z for minimal MCU pin count and direct analog/PWM control without protocol overhead |
Compared with RT9397BZSP and TPS61165DRVR, MP3302DJ-LF-Z uniquely combines single-wire analog/PWM dimming, open-load shutdown, and integrated soft-start in TSOT23-5 - simplifying design for cost-sensitive, space-constrained portable displays without sacrificing protection or control flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of white LEDs the MP3302DJ-LF-Z can drive in series?
The MP3302DJ-LF-Z supports up to 10 white LEDs in series, assuming typical forward voltage of 3.3V per LED (33V total), staying within its 36V SW pin rating and 42V open-load shutdown threshold. Driving more than 10 LEDs risks exceeding safe operating voltage limits and triggering protection shutdown.
Does the MP3302DJ-LF-Z require an external Schottky diode?
Yes - the MP3302DJ-LF-Z requires an external Schottky diode (e.g., B0540) connected between SW and the LED string anode. The internal MOSFET serves only as the high-side switch; the diode provides the return path for inductor current during off-time, enabling boost topology operation.
How is LED current set, and what tolerance applies to the 200mV feedback voltage?
LED current is set by ILED = 200mV / RSENSE, using a precision resistor from FB to GND. The feedback voltage is specified as 185–215mV (±15mV) over temperature and process, yielding ±7.5% current accuracy before considering resistor tolerance and layout parasitics.
Can the MP3302DJ-LF-Z operate from a 3.3V input while driving 9 strings of 3-series LEDs?
Yes - the MP3302DJ-LF-Z operates from 2.5V to 6V input. With 9 parallel strings of 3×3.3V WLEDs (≈10V string voltage), the boost converter delivers ~180mA total current at >80% efficiency from 3.3V input, as verified in Figure 2 of the datasheet under "Typical Application."
What thermal derating applies to the TSOT23-5 package at 85°C ambient?
With θJA = 220°C/W and TJ(MAX) = 125°C, maximum continuous power dissipation at TA = 85°C is (125 − 85)/220 ≈ 0.18W. At typical 87% efficiency and 180mA LED load, power dissipation remains ~0.12W - within safe margin without forced airflow or copper pour enhancement.
Is the EN pin compatible with 1.8V or 3.3V GPIO control without level shifting?
Yes - the EN pin has guaranteed turn-on at ≥0.6V and turn-off at ≤0.4V, making it directly compatible with 1.8V and 3.3V CMOS GPIO outputs. For analog dimming, ensure the driving DAC or resistor divider provides clean 0.7–1.4V with local 100nF bypassing to avoid noise-induced current instability.
