Product details
Overview
MP3310NGQ-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a step-up white LED driver IC with true PWM dimming, internal 0.3Ω MOSFET, 47V output capability, 1.3A current limit, and programmable switching frequency (300kHz–1.2MHz). It regulates LED current via external ISET resistor, supports up to 12-series/4-parallel WLED arrays, and is used in LCD backlighting for handheld computers and digital picture frames.
For engineers reviewing the MP3310NGQ-P datasheet, MP3310NGQ-P pinout, MP3310NGQ-P application, or MP3310NGQ-P equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.5–25V input range, 500mV LED current sense reference, OVP threshold programmability via resistor divider, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and QFN-10 (3×3mm) package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The MP3310NGQ-P implements a fixed-frequency, peak-current-mode boost converter with integrated 0.3Ω power switch and internal 5V LDO (VCC) for gate drive and control logic. Its error amplifier compares LED current feedback against a precise 500mV reference, enabling stable current regulation across temperature and line variations.
True PWM dimming is implemented via direct EN/DIM pin control (200Hz–2kHz square wave), decoupling brightness control from analog regulation. Open-load protection triggers at 1.24V on OVP pin (±60mV tolerance), with 120mV hysteresis, while UVLO activates at 3.9V (±0.3V) with 450mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 25V - Supports wide-input industrial and portable battery-powered systems including 3S Li-ion (12.6V) and 5V rail inputs. |
| Output Voltage Capability | Up to 47V - Enables driving up to 12-series white LEDs (3.3V each) with margin for forward voltage variation and ripple. |
| LED Current Regulation | Programmable via ISET resistor (e.g., 76.8mA at RISET = 60.4kΩ) - Provides precise, temperature-stable current control using internal 500mV reference. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 1.2MHz (resistor-programmable) - Allows optimization of inductor size, efficiency, and EMI profile per application constraints. |
| Internal Power Switch RDS(on) | 0.3Ω - Minimizes conduction loss in boost stage, supporting >93% peak efficiency at typical operating points. |
| OVP Threshold Accuracy | 1.24V ±60mV - Enables reliable open-circuit detection with externally adjustable trip point via resistor divider. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C - Protects die under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design; auto-recovery after cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
MP3310NGQ-P is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin QFN package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (internally connected to GND). The pad must be soldered to a dedicated GND plane for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 50°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OVP | Open-load protection input | Accepts resistor-divider feedback from LED string output; triggers shutdown when voltage ≥1.24V. |
| 2 ISET | LED current programming | Connects to ground via precision resistor to set total LED current (ILED = 4605V / RISET). |
| 3 COMP | Control loop compensation | Output of internal error amplifier; requires RC network to GND for stability across load/input conditions. |
| 4 LED | LED cathode connection | Open-drain dimming switch node; sinks regulated current into LED string cathodes. |
| 5 GND | Power and signal ground | Main ground reference; exposed pad must be connected to PCB GND plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| 6 SW | Boost switch node | Drain of internal 0.3Ω MOSFET; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode in boost topology. |
| 7 EN/DIM | Enable and PWM dimming input | Active-high enable; accepts 200Hz–2kHz square wave for flicker-free, high-contrast brightness control. |
| 8 VIN | Main power input | 4.5–25V supply input; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin. |
| 9 VCC | Internal 5V LDO output | Supplies gate drive and internal circuitry; bypass with 1µF ceramic; tie to VIN if VIN < 5.5V. |
| 10 FSET | Frequency programming | Connect resistor to GND to set fSW: 20kΩ → ~1.2MHz, 100kΩ → ~300kHz; open → 1MHz default. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True PWM dimming | Direct EN/DIM pin control enables 0–100% duty-cycle brightness adjustment without color shift or low-end nonlinearity. |
| Adjustable OVP threshold | Resistor-divider programming allows OVP setting above nominal LED string voltage (e.g., 1.3× VOUT) for robust fault coverage. |
| Integrated 0.3Ω MOSFET | Eliminates external high-side switch, reduces BOM count and layout area, and improves efficiency over discrete solutions. |
| Programmable switching frequency | Enables trade-off between inductor size (higher fSW → smaller L) and efficiency (lower fSW → lower switching loss). |
| Thermal shutdown + UVLO | Prevents damage during startup under low-VIN or sustained overload; hysteresis ensures clean re-enable after recovery. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP3312GQ-Z | Higher 60V output rating, 1.5A current limit, and integrated soft-start; no FSET pin - fixed 1.1MHz fSW. | Better suited for higher-voltage LED strings (>47V) or designs requiring controlled startup inrush limiting. | Select MP3312GQ-Z when output voltage headroom beyond 47V or guaranteed soft-start behavior is required. |
| RT8532GSP | Fixed 1.2MHz fSW, 40V OVP max, no OVP programming pin; uses external current-sense resistor instead of ISET pin. | Lacks programmable OVP and true PWM dimming - relies on analog dimming or external PWM FET control. | Choose RT8532GSP only if fixed-frequency operation and simplified OVP architecture are acceptable trade-offs. |
Compared with MP3310NGQ-P, MP3312GQ-Z offers higher voltage headroom and built-in soft-start but sacrifices frequency flexibility, while RT8532GSP simplifies design at the cost of dimming fidelity and OVP configurability - making MP3310NGQ-P optimal for adaptive backlighting where programmability and precision matter.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the MP3310NGQ-P support?
The MP3310NGQ-P operates from 4.5V to 25V input, accommodating common battery configurations like 3S Li-ion (12.6V max) and regulated 5V/12V rails. Below 5.5V, VCC must be tied to VIN to ensure internal circuitry remains powered.
How is LED current programmed on the MP3310NGQ-P?
LED current is set by connecting a precision resistor (RISET) between ISET (Pin 2) and GND. The relationship is ILED = 4605V / RISET - for example, 60.4kΩ yields 76.2mA. The ISET pin must never be left floating.
Can the MP3310NGQ-P drive multiple parallel LED strings?
Yes - it supports up to 4 parallel strings with up to 12 LEDs per string (total ≤48 LEDs), provided total current stays within 1.3A limit and output voltage remains ≤47V. Each string requires individual current-setting or matching.
What is the purpose of the OVP pin, and how is it configured?
The OVP pin (Pin 1) monitors LED string voltage via a resistor divider. When voltage at this pin reaches 1.24V, the IC disables the switch to prevent overvoltage damage. The threshold is set by VOVP = 1.24V × (R1 + R2)/R2.
Does the MP3310NGQ-P require external compensation components?
Yes - the COMP pin (Pin 3) requires an external RC network to ground to stabilize the current-mode control loop. Typical values are 1nF capacitor in series with 10kΩ resistor, tuned per inductor value and load conditions.
What thermal management is required for the MP3310NGQ-P?
The QFN-10 package features an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a solid GND copper pour. With proper layout, θJA is 50°C/W; exceeding 150°C junction temperature triggers automatic shutdown and recovery.
Is the MP3310NGQ-P RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - MP3310NGQ-P is fully RoHS-compliant and lead-free, meeting MPS's green manufacturing standards. Full compliance documentation is available on the Monolithic Power Systems website under Quality Assurance.
