MP1521
High Efficiency
White LED Driver
General Description
The MP1521 is a constant-current Boost
Regulator. This IC has three individual
current-sensing feedbacks, which are ideal for
driving multiple strings of series connected
LEDs. The OLS pin is designed for detecting
loose or open LED connections.
The IC uses a peak current, constant minimum
off-time architecture. The feedback pins
measure voltage across sense resistors in
series with the LED strings. When supplying a
bias current of 20mA, the voltage drop across
the sense resistor is only 0.4V to minimize
power loss. Either a DC voltage or a PWM
signal at the BRT/PWM input can control the
LED brightness.
The MP1521 has an on board power MOSFET
switch that is protected by current limit, open
load shutdown, thermal shutdown, and under
voltage lockout.
