DESCRIPTION

The EV3389EF-00A is an evaluation board for the

MP3389EF, a step-up converter designed for large

liquid-crystal displays that employ an array of LEDs

as the light source. It can drive up to 12 strings

LEDs in parallel.with 60mA maximum current.

The MP3389 uses external power mosfet and

internal

current

mode,

fixed

frequency

architecture and includes current ballast in each

string terminal, which achieves 2.5% current

regulation

accuracy

between

strings.

Low

feedback voltage at each LED string help reduce

power loss and improve efficiency.

The MP3389 has multiple features to protect the

converter from fault conditions, including under-

voltage lockout, current limiting, over voltage,

short LED, open LED and thermal shut-down

protection.

The MP3389 is available in TSSOP28 package.
