MP3398HGS-Z

Monolithic Power Systems · LED Drivers · SOIC-16

MP3398HGS-Z from Monolithic Power Systems, in a SOIC-16. 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 LED4 output LED string 4 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch, connected to the string 4 cathode.
2 ISET input LED current setting pin; a current-setting resistor from ISET to GND sets the ILED for each string (RISET of 12kΩ gives 100mA) and ISET must not be left open.
3 OVP input Output over-voltage protection input; a resistor divider from the output sets the OVP threshold (VOVP typically 2V, 1.9V to 2.1V).
4 OSC input Switching frequency setting pin; a resistor ROSC from OSC to GND sets fSW, with 100kHz to 900kHz recommended.
5 EN input Enable control input; pull above 1.5V to turn the part on and below 0.6V to turn it off, and do not float the pin.
6 ISENSE input Current-sense input that senses the voltage across the external inductor current-sense resistor for peak current control and limits inductor current every cycle; connect to GND on cascaded slave ICs and do not float.
7 GATE output Power MOSFET driver output for the step-up converter that drives an external N-channel power MOSFET.
8 VCC power_out Internal 5.9V linear regulator output (5.5V to 6.3V) that powers the external MOSFET gate driver and internal control circuitry, to be bypassed to GND with a ceramic capacitor.
9 VIN power_in Supply input for the device, operating from 4.5V to 33V, which must be bypassed locally.
10 ADIM input Analog brightness control input with a 0V to 1.5V DC range for DC analog dimming, or a capacitor to GND as the filter for PWM-input analog dimming.
11 COMP passive Step-up converter compensation pin; connect a ceramic capacitor, or a resistor in series with a capacitor, from COMP to GND.
12 PWM input PWM brightness control input whose high level must exceed 1.5V and low level must be below 0.4V, and which is weakly pulled to GND internally when floating.
13 LED1 output LED string 1 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch, connected to the string 1 cathode.
14 LED2 output LED string 2 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch, connected to the string 2 cathode.
15 GND power_in Ground reference pin for the device.
16 LED3 output LED string 3 current input, the open-drain output of an internal dimming control switch, connected to the string 3 cathode.
