Product details
Overview
SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 kHz fixed-frequency voltage-mode boost controller IC designed to drive series-connected white LEDs from 1.8 V to 5.0 V input sources (e.g., double AA or Li-ion batteries). It integrates UVLO, soft-start, and logic-controlled shutdown (<1 µA), delivering regulated LED current with analog brightness control via the EXT pin and feedback reference of 0.3 V.
For engineers reviewing the SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 datasheet, SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 pinout, SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 application, or SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6-pin PowerPAK MLP33 package, internal frequency compensation, PWM dimming support via XSHD, and compatibility with external low-rDS(on) MOSFETs for high-efficiency backlighting in space-constrained portable devices.
Technical Context
The SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 implements voltage-mode PWM control with fully integrated frequency compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage (0.3 V nominal) against an internal reference to regulate output current through duty-cycle modulation of the EXT-driven external MOSFET.
Operation includes a controlled soft-start phase limiting inrush current and voltage overshoot, followed by stable 600 kHz switching across -40 °C to 85 °C. Shutdown is asserted via XSHD pin (logic-low <0.2 V), reducing quiescent current to under 1 µA while maintaining full functionality on wake-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.0 V - supports single/dual alkaline, NiMH, or Li-ion battery inputs without external regulation |
| Switching Frequency | 600 kHz fixed - enables compact external inductor (e.g., 22 µH) and low-profile ceramic output capacitors |
| Feedback Reference | 0.3 V ±0.018 V - sets precise LED current via external sense resistor; low drift ensures stable brightness over temperature |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA - extends battery life in standby mode for handheld and portable applications |
| Duty Cycle Limit | 77 % to 85 % - constrains maximum on-time to prevent instability under low-input/high-output conditions |
| UVLO Threshold | 1.65 V to 1.77 V - prevents erratic startup during battery depletion while allowing operation down to 1.8 V nominal |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade portable electronics including digital cameras and LCD modules |
Pinout & Package
SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 is housed in a lead-free 6-pin PowerPAK MLP33-6 package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.9 mm), featuring separate AGND and PGND pins for noise isolation and an exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| XSHD (Pin 1) | Logic shutdown control input | Active-low enable: <0.2 V = shutdown (<1 µA IQ); >1.2 V = normal operation |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main power supply input | Accepts 1.8–5.0 V battery source; powers internal circuitry and bias networks |
| FB (Pin 3) | Output current feedback node | Monitors voltage across external sense resistor; regulates LED current to maintain 0.3 V reference |
| AGND (Pin 4) | Analog ground reference | Return path for feedback amplifier, oscillator, and control logic-must be routed separately from PGND |
| PGND (Pin 5) | Power ground return | High-current return for external MOSFET source and boost inductor-minimizes switching noise coupling |
| EXT (Pin 6) | External MOSFET gate driver output | Drives gate of discrete N-channel MOSFET (e.g., Si2302ADS); peak current capability supports fast switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage-mode PWM with internal compensation | Eliminates external RC compensation network, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Integrated soft-start | Gradually ramps output voltage and limits inrush current to protect LEDs and external components |
| Analog LED brightness control | Adjusts regulated current via variable DC voltage applied to EXT pin-no PWM signal required |
| Separate AGND/PGND pins | Prevents switching noise from corrupting feedback accuracy and improves current regulation stability |
| Low shutdown current | Sub-1 µA quiescent draw enables multi-week battery shelf life in always-on portable systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16813ETA+T | Higher 1.2 MHz switching frequency; integrated MOSFET; no external EXT driver required | Targets higher-power LED strings (>500 mA); less flexible for ultra-low-IQ portable use | Choose MAX16813ETA+T when board space is critical and integrated FET suffices; SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 preferred for discrete MOSFET optimization and sub-1 µA shutdown. |
| TPS61061DRVR | Integrated 2-A switch; 1.2-MHz operation; analog dimming via CTRL pin; no separate AGND/PGND | Designed for single-cell Li-ion to 5-V output; lacks dedicated power/ground separation for high-noise environments | Choose TPS61061DRVR for simpler layout and higher output current; SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 selected where noise-sensitive analog feedback and external MOSFET thermal management are prioritized. |
Compared with MAX16813ETA+T and TPS61061DRVR, SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 offers superior ground noise isolation via split AGND/PGND, lower shutdown current, and external MOSFET flexibility-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-life-critical white LED backlighting in industrial handhelds.

FAQ
What is the recommended external MOSFET for SiP12401DMP-T1-E3?
The SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 drives external N-channel MOSFETs via its EXT pin. Vishay's own Si2302ADS (30 V, 2.5 A, 0.07 Ω rDS(on)) is validated in the typical application circuit. Any logic-level MOSFET with VGS(th) ≤1.5 V, rDS(on) <0.1 Ω, and SO-23 or similar small-outline package is compatible. Gate drive strength supports rise/fall times under 20 ns with proper layout.
Does SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 support PWM dimming?
Yes, SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 supports PWM dimming by applying a 200 Hz, 50 % duty cycle signal to the XSHD pin, as shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet. During low pulses, the device shuts down completely (<1 µA IQ), extinguishing the LEDs; high pulses resume full operation. This method avoids color shift associated with analog dimming at very low currents.
What is the purpose of separate AGND and PGND pins on SiP12401DMP-T1-E3?
The SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 uses separate AGND (Pin 4) and PGND (Pin 5) to isolate sensitive analog circuitry-including the error amplifier and oscillator-from high di/dt switching return paths. Routing AGND to quiet ground planes and PGND directly to the boost inductor and MOSFET source minimizes noise coupling into the 0.3 V feedback reference, ensuring stable current regulation.
Can SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 operate from a single 1.5 V alkaline cell?
No, SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 requires minimum 1.8 V input per the recommended operating range. A single fresh alkaline cell starts at ~1.6 V and drops rapidly; two cells in series (2.4–3.2 V) meet the specification reliably. For true single-cell operation, consider alternatives like the TPS61061, which supports down to 0.9 V input.
Is SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, SiP12401DMP-T1-E3 is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per Vishay's documentation (Document Number: 73193, Rev. C). The "-E3" suffix denotes lead-free (Pb-free) termination and compliance with JEDEC JS709B and JESD204 standards. Full material declarations and test reports are available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
