Product details
Overview
MP4652ES-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a high-performance off-line LED driver IC designed for isolated high-power backlighting in LCD TVs. It delivers two 180° phase-shifted gate drive signals (GL/GR), supports fixed or externally programmable frequency (25–150 kHz), integrates a 9V enhanced gate driver, and enables fast continuous PWM dimming with 1000:1 ratio and audible-noise elimination at 120 Hz - deployed in 2-stage LLC TV backlight systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP4652ES-LF-Z datasheet, MP4652ES-LF-Z pinout, MP4652ES-LF-Z application, or MP4652ES-LF-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-phase gate drive capability, 9V gate driver output, 1000:1 PWM dimming performance without audible noise, fault management with auto-recovery/latch-up options, and compatibility with LLC/half-bridge/flyback topologies.
Technical Context
The MP4652ES-LF-Z implements a dual-mode control architecture: it operates as a fixed-frequency PWM controller (via FSET resistor) for half-bridge/flyback, or as a frequency-modulated controller (via analog voltage on FSET) for LLC resonant stages. Its COMP pin interfaces with external compensation networks to regulate LED current via 0.6 V FB reference.
Fault protection is implemented through three independent comparators - OVP (2.38 V threshold, 7 µs delay), SSD (2.36 V, short-string detection), and FB (1.2 V, short-LED detection) - all feeding into a configurable FT timer that supports either auto-recovery (capacitor-based timing) or latch-up (resistor-biased).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 25 kHz to 150 kHz; set by resistor on FSET pin or analog voltage for LLC control - enables topology flexibility and EMI optimization. |
| Gate Driver Output | 9 V typical VCC supply with 1 A source / 2 A sink capability - directly drives external MOSFETs or gate-drive transformers without level-shifting. |
| PWM Dimming Ratio | 1000:1 at 120 Hz; achieved via continuous gate drive during PWM off-cycle - eliminates transformer/inductor audible noise in TV backlight systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 9 V to 30 V VIN; supports wide-range auxiliary bias supply - powers internal circuitry and external control blocks reliably. |
| LED Current Regulation | 0.6 V FB reference with ±5% tolerance; regulated via external sample-hold or external amplifier - ensures stable current across temperature and line variations. |
| Fault Detection Thresholds | OVP: 2.38 V (7 µs delay); SSD: 2.36 V; FB short: 1.2 V - provides robust, multi-point protection against open/short LED string failures. |
| Dimming Interface | DC input (0–1.2 V) or direct PWM signal on PWMIN; synchronized burst dimming via SYNC pin - supports both legacy analog and modern digital brightness control schemes. |
Pinout & Package
MP4652ES-LF-Z is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package with exposed pad (SOIC16), rated for -20°C to +85°C ambient operation and optimized for surface-mount assembly in high-density LED driver PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OVP | Over-voltage protection sense input | Monitors LED string output via voltage divider; triggers fault if >2.38 V for 7 µs - prevents overvoltage damage to LEDs and secondary components. |
| 2 SYNC | Burst frequency synchronization input | Accepts narrow-pulse sync signal (>1.4 V, >BFS-set frequency) to align DC-input PWM dimming bursts - enables system-level timing coordination. |
| 3 SSD | Short-string detection input | Detects LED string shorts-to-ground via secondary-side current sensing; fault triggered if voltage drops below 2.36 V for 7 µs. |
| 4 FB | LED current feedback input | Regulates average LED current to 0.6 V reference; also serves as short-LED detector (fault if >1.2 V for 7 µs) - dual-function analog interface. |
| 5 COMP | Error amplifier compensation node | Connects external RC network (47–470 nF for PWM topologies; 1 nF for LLC) - stabilizes current regulation loop and defines transient response. |
| 6 FT | Fault timer timing terminal | Capacitor sets auto-recovery delay; resistor <250 kΩ configures latch-up mode - provides flexible fault-handling strategy per system safety requirements. |
| 7 PWMOUT | PWM dimming driver output | Drives external dimming MOSFET gate; pulled low during fault - enables fast, low-loss series dimming of LED strings. |
| 8 FSET | Frequency set/control input | Resistor-to-GND sets fixed frequency (e.g., 25 kΩ → 50 kHz); analog voltage enables variable-frequency control for LLC - core topology selection pin. |
| 9 BFS | Burst frequency set for DC dimming | R-C network sets triangle waveform frequency for DC-input PWM dimming; pulled to VCC for direct PWM mode - dimming mode configuration pin. |
| 10 PWMIN | PWM dimming control input | 0–1.2 V DC input sets dimming duty cycle linearly; logic-level PWM input accepted directly - supports both analog and digital brightness interfaces. |
| 11 EN | Enable/disable control input | Logic-high (>2 V) enables IC; logic-low (<1 V) disables all outputs and reduces quiescent current to 1 µA - primary system power gating pin. |
| 12 VIN | Main supply input | 9–30 V input powering internal regulator and logic; bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor - supplies bias for control circuitry. |
| 13 VCC | Internal LDO output & gate driver supply | 9.7 V ±10% regulated output; powers gate drivers and external circuits; bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor - critical for driver strength and stability. |
| 14 GL | Phase-A gate driver output | 180° phase-shifted complementary signal to GR; drives high-side MOSFET or gate-transformer primary - enables balanced half-bridge/LLC switching. |
| 15 GND | Power and signal ground reference | Common return path for VIN, VCC, FB, COMP, and fault comparators - must be low-impedance and separated from power ground per layout guidelines. |
| 16 GR | Phase-B gate driver output | 180° phase-shifted complementary signal to GL; used with GL for push-pull or resonant stage drive - completes dual-phase output pair. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended PWM dimming frequency for MP4652ES-LF-Z in half-bridge applications?
The MP4652ES-LF-Z supports PWM dimming frequencies greater than 2 kHz in half-bridge configurations, as confirmed in the datasheet's typical application diagram. This is enabled by its continuous gate drive architecture and fast PWMOUT response (3 mA source / 20 mA sink), ensuring minimal dead-time distortion and stable current regulation at high dimming rates.
How does the MP4652ES-LF-Z eliminate audible noise during PWM dimming?
It eliminates audible noise by maintaining continuous gate driver signals (GL/GR) throughout both PWM on- and off-intervals - preventing magnetic component (transformer/inductor) core saturation and mechanical vibration. This allows 1000:1 dimming at 120 Hz without perceptible noise, unlike conventional controllers that halt switching during dimming off-cycles.
Can MP4652ES-LF-Z drive external MOSFETs directly without a gate-drive transformer?
Yes - its 9 V VCC output and 1 A source / 2 A sink gate driver capability allow direct drive of medium-power MOSFETs (e.g., ≤500 V, Qg < 50 nC). For high-voltage isolation or high-side drive in bridge topologies, a gate-drive transformer is still recommended to ensure level-shifting and noise immunity.
What is the function of the SSD pin, and how is it connected in a typical LED string?
The SSD (Short String Detection) pin monitors secondary-side current via a resistor between the LED string cathode and ground. A voltage drop below 2.36 V for 7 µs triggers fault mode - indicating a short anywhere along the LED string to ground. It is typically connected through a 10–100 kΩ pull-up to VCC and a current-sense resistor to ground.
Does MP4652ES-LF-Z support both constant-current and constant-voltage LED regulation modes?
No - it is designed exclusively for constant-current LED regulation via the FB pin (0.6 V reference). The IC regulates average LED current using external sample-hold circuitry (for PWM topologies) or an external frequency-control loop (for LLC), with no built-in CV regulation capability or dedicated voltage feedback path.
How is fault recovery behavior configured on MP4652ES-LF-Z?
Fault recovery is configured via the FT pin: connecting a capacitor to GND enables auto-recovery after a timing delay (e.g., 10 nF ≈ 3 ms), while connecting a resistor <250 kΩ forces latch-up until EN is cycled. The datasheet specifies 8 µA charging current and 2.38 V threshold for capacitor-based timing.
Is MP4652ES-LF-Z compatible with LLC, flyback, and half-bridge topologies simultaneously in one design?
No - topology selection is determined by external circuit configuration: FSET resistor + COMP capacitor for PWM-controlled half-bridge/flyback; FSET voltage input + COMP 1 nF capacitor for LLC. A single design must commit to one topology; switching mid-design requires hardware changes to FSET, COMP, and feedback paths.
