MP3398EGF-Z

Monolithic Power Systems · LED Drivers · TSSOP-16-EP

MP3398EGF-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 LED1 input LED string 1 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch; connect the LED string 1 cathode here (80V abs max).
2 LED2 input LED string 2 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch; connect the LED string 2 cathode here (80V abs max).
3 GND power_in Ground.
4 LED3 input LED string 3 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch; connect the LED string 3 cathode here (80V abs max).
5 LED4 input LED string 4 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch; connect the LED string 4 cathode here (80V abs max).
6 ISET passive LED current set; tie a current-setting resistor from ISET to ground to program the current in each LED string, and do not leave it open.
7 OVP input Output over-voltage protection input; connect a resistor divider from the output to OVP to program the OVP threshold (2.0V typical).
8 OSC passive Switching frequency set; connect a resistor between OSC and GND to set the step-up converter switching frequency (ROSC = 100kΩ gives 382kHz).
9 EN input Enable control input; above 1.5V turns the part on, below 0.6V turns it off, and it must not be floated.
10 ISENSE input Current sense input for peak-current-mode control and cycle-by-cycle inductor current limit (202mV typical); tie to GND on a slave IC in cascading and do not float.
11 GATE output Step-up converter power switch driver output that drives the external N-channel MOSFET.
12 VCC power_out Internal 5.9V linear regulator output powering the MOSFET gate driver and internal control circuitry; bypass to GND with a ceramic capacitor.
13 VIN power_in Supply input, 4.5V to 33V operating range; must be bypassed locally.
14 ADIM input Analog brightness control input where the PWM duty cycle sets LED current amplitude via an internal 10MΩ/100pF R-C filter; use >20kHz with high level above 1.5V and low level below 0.4V, or pull high (1.5V to 5V) if unused.
15 COMP passive Step-up converter compensation; connect a ceramic capacitor or a resistor and capacitor from COMP to GND.
16 PWM input PWM brightness control input chopping the LED current (high above 1.5V, low below 0.4V); weakly pulled to GND internally if floating, or pull high (1.5V to 5V) if PWM dimming is unused.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
