Product details
Overview
MP4057AGS-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a single-chip, single-stage primary-side regulated (PSR) LED driver IC with integrated 3.3V LDO output for MCU/wireless modules, supporting both constant-current (CC) and constant-voltage (CV) operation modes, achieving >0.9 power factor, <30mW no-load standby loss, and 5% deep dimming without flicker in smart LED lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP4057AGS-P datasheet, MP4057AGS-P pinout, MP4057AGS-P application, or MP4057AGS-P equivalent, this device delivers verified PSR-based LED current regulation, valley-switching efficiency optimization, real-current control from primary-side sensing, and dual-mode seamless CC/CV transition critical for Zigbee/Bluetooth-enabled luminaires and DALI-compatible smart fixtures.
Technical Context
The MP4057AGS-P implements proprietary real-current control using primary-side feedback via the S pin and ZCD zero-current detection to regulate LED current without secondary-side optocouplers. It employs valley switching in CC mode to minimize MOSFET turn-on loss and reduce EMI, while dynamically adjusting switching frequency down to ~400Hz in CV standby to achieve ultra-low no-load power.
In CV mode, VCC regulates the 3.3V VO output for MCU/wireless modules; in CC mode, VDD powers VO and enables decoupled LED/MCU power paths via forward-winding auxiliary winding configuration. DIM pin controls PWM dimming depth (0–100%) and forces CV mode when pulled low, ensuring stable module voltage during mode transitions.

FAQ
What is the function of the NLP pin on MP4057AGS-P?
The NLP pin drives the gate of an external depletion-mode N-channel FET to disable the high-voltage startup current path during standby. This reduces no-load power consumption below 30mW and enables optional circuit configurations achieving <15mW, directly supporting Energy Star and ERP Tier 2 requirements.
How does MP4057AGS-P achieve flicker-free transition between CC and CV modes?
During CC-to-CV transition, the MP4057AGS-P clamps COMP voltage at 1.21V and synchronizes VO regulation with VCC loop response. The error amplifier maintains VO stability while LED current drops to zero, preventing voltage sag on MCU/wireless modules and eliminating visible LED flicker-even at 1% dimming level.
Can MP4057AGS-P support both isolated and non-isolated topologies?
Yes-MP4057AGS-P supports isolated flyback (using ZCD for valley switching and OVP) and non-isolated buck-boost (using S pin for current sensing and VDD/VCC for power routing). The datasheet provides validated schematics for both configurations, including transformer turns ratio guidance and snubber design rules.
What is the maximum recommended LED current accuracy over temperature and line variation?
MP4057AGS-P achieves ±5% LED current accuracy across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature and 198–265VAC input range, verified by typical performance curves showing <±0.5% drift in ILED vs. VIN and <±1.2% drift vs. TJ, enabled by stable 0.203V FB reference and real-current control algorithm.
Does MP4057AGS-P require external compensation components?
Yes-the COMP pin requires an external Type-II compensation network (typically one resistor and two capacitors) to stabilize both CC and CV control loops. The datasheet specifies exact values for 370mA/21V LED loads and provides design equations for custom output configurations based on loop gain and phase margin targets.
How is thermal performance validated for MP4057AGS-P in SOIC-14 package?
Thermal resistance θJA is measured at 86°C/W on JEDEC JESD51-7 4-layer PCB. At 370mA LED load and 230VAC input, junction temperature remains <115°C with standard 1-in² copper pour, validated by thermal imaging on EV4057A-K-00A evaluation board under 70°C ambient conditions.
What protection features are latched versus auto-restarting?
OVP, SCP, and primary-side OCP trigger auto-restart after fault clearance; UVLO and OTP enter auto-restart mode upon recovery (OTP hysteresis = 60°C); brown-out and cycle-by-cycle current limiting are instantaneous and non-latching. Fault status is indicated by VDD/VCC voltage collapse and COMP pin behavior.
