MP3398AGF-Z

Monolithic Power Systems · New Arrivals · TSSOP-16-EP

MP3398AGF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems, in a TSSOP-16-EP. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 COMP passive Step-up converter compensation pin; connect a ceramic capacitor from COMP to GND to compensate the regulation control loop.
2 EN input Enable input; above 1.8V turns the part on, below 0.6V turns it off, and the pin must not float.
3 PWM input PWM brightness control input where average LED current equals Iset*D_dim; high level must exceed VPWM_HI (1.25V), low level below the threshold, weakly pulled to GND if floating, and tie to 1.25V<Vpwm<5V if PWM dimming is unused.
4 GND power_in Ground.
5 OSC passive Switching frequency set; a resistor from OSC to GND sets the step-up frequency, with the pin regulated to 1.23V.
6 ISET passive LED current set; a resistor from this pin to ground programs the current in each LED string, with the pin regulated to 1.225V and the pin not to be left open.
7 ADIM input Analog brightness control input accepting a PWM signal (>20kHz recommended) or a DC voltage of 0.4V to 1.5V to set LED current linearly from 0% to 100%, with an internal 10MΩ/100pF RC filter and weak pull-down to GND if floating.
8 LED4 input LED string 4 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch; connect the string 4 cathode here.
9 LED3 input LED string 3 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch; connect the string 3 cathode here.
10 LED2 input LED string 2 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch; connect the string 2 cathode here.
11 LED1 input LED string 1 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch; connect the string 1 cathode here.
12 OVP input Over-voltage protection input; connect a resistor divider from the output to program the threshold, with OVP mode triggered when the pin reaches 1.23V.
13 ISENSE input Current sense input that senses the voltage across the inductor current-sensing resistor for peak-current-mode control and cycle-by-cycle limit; tie to GND if unused in cascading and do not float.
14 GATE output Step-up converter power switch gate output that drives the external power N-MOS device.
15 VIN power_in Supply input powering the chip and step-up converter switch, driven with a 5V to 28V source and locally bypassed.
16 VCC power_out Internal 6V linear regulator output powering the external MOSFET gate driver and internal control circuitry; bypass to GND with a ceramic capacitor.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
