SW is the drain of the internal MOSFET switch. Connect the power inductor and output rectifier to SW. SW can swing between GND and 25V. Ground. Feedback Input. The MP3205 regulates the voltage across the current sense resistor between FB and GND. Connect a current sense resistor from the bottom of the LED string to GND. Connect the bottom of the LED string to FB. The regulation voltage is 104mV. Regulator On/Off Control Input. A high input at EN turns on the converter, and a low input turns it off. When not used, connect EN to the input source for automatic startup. The EN pin cannot be left floating. Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed. OPERATION The MP3205 uses a constant frequency, peak current mode boost regulator architecture to regulate the series string of white LEDs. The operation of the MP3205 can be understood by referring to the block diagram of Figure 1. At the start of each oscillator cycle the FET is turned on through the control circuitry. To prevent subharmonic oscillations at duty cycles greater than 50 percent, a stabilizing ramp is added to the output of the current sense amplifier and the result is fed into the positive input of the PWM comparator. FB When this voltage equals the output voltage of the error amplifier the power FET is turned off. The voltage at the output of the error amplifier is an amplified version of the difference between the 104mV reference voltage and the feedback voltage. In this way the peak current level keeps the output in regulation. If the feedback voltage starts to drop, the output of the error amplifier increases. This results in more current to flow through the power FET, thus increasing the power delivered to the output. + + AMPLIFIER CONTROL LOGIC M1 SW PWM COMPARATOR 104mV + + GND CURRENT SENSE AMPLIFIER 1.3MHz OSC MP3205-F03-BD01 Figure 1—Functional Block Diagram MP3205 Rev. 1.3 7/13/2005 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

The 3 white LEDs can be driven from a voltage supply range of 2.5V to 6V at an output current of 20mA. A 0.22µF output capacitor is sufficient for most applications but an output capacitor up to 1µF may be used. A 22µH inductor with low DCR (Inductor resistance) is recommended to improve efficiency. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for the input capacitance in the real system. Schottky diodes have fast recovery and a low forward voltage and are recommended. Schottky diodes rated with 100mA to 200mA are sufficient for the MP3205. The switching characteristics during normal operation can be seen in Figure 3. The MP3205 has internal soft-start to limit the amount of current through VIN at startup and to also limit the amount of overshoot on the output. The current limit is increased by a fourth every 40µs giving a total soft-start time of 120µs. Figure 4 shows the startup behavior of the MP3205. The ramped voltage that is added to the current sense amplifier reduces the current output as the duty cycle increases. As more LEDs are added, the output voltage rises but the current that can be delivered to the load is reduced as well. VEN 5V/div. VOUT 5V/div. IIN 100mA/div.

All Rights Reserved. 4 TM MP3205 – 1.3 MHz FIXED FREQUENCY 5 WHITE LED DRIVER Setting the LED Current The LED current is controlled by the feedback resistor, R1, in Figure 2. The current through the LEDs is given by the equation 104mV/R1. Table 1 shows the selection of resistors for a given LED current. signal used in Figure 7 should be 1KHz or below due to the soft start function. LED1 LED2 Table 1—ILED vs. R1 ILED (mA) R1 (Ω) 1 5 10 15 20 104 20.8 10.4 6.93 5.2 Analog and Digital Dimming There are three different ways to control dimming for the MP3205 during normal operation. The first way uses a DC voltage to control the feedback voltage. This can be seen in Figure 6. As the DC voltage increases, current starts flowing down R1, R2 and R3. The loop will continue to regulate the feedback voltage to 104mV. Thus the current has to decrease through the LEDs by the same amount of current as is being injected from the DC voltage source. With a VDC from 0V to 2V, the resistor values shown for R2 and R3 can control the LED current from 0mA to 20mA.

LED1 MP3205 LED2 FB 3 LED3 PWM LED1 MP3205_F08_S01 MP3205 FB LED2 Figure 8—Dimming Control Using a Filtered PWM Signal LED3 Layout Considerations Careful attention must be paid to the PCB board layout and component placement. Proper layout of the high frequency switching path is critical to prevent noise and electromagnetic interference problems. Due to the high frequency switching the length and area of all the traces connected to the switch node should be minimized. Refer to the evaluation board EV3205DJ-00A for a sample layout of theBMP3205. 3 MP3205_F06_S01 Figure 6—Dimming Control Using a DC Voltage Other applications need to use a logic signal to do the dimming. This can be seen in Figure 7. The PWM signal is applied to the EN pin of the MP3205. The LEDs will switch between full load to completely shut off. The average current through the LEDs will increase proportionally to the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The PWM MP3205 Rev. 1.3 7/13/2005 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.
