DESCRIPTION

The MP3378E is a one-chip solution specially

designed

for

monitor

applications.

The

MP3378E includes a step-up WLED controller

with four current channels for backlighting, and

a high efficiency buck converter for internal bus

voltage or standby power.

The 4-string WLED controller drives an external

MOSFET to boost up the output voltage from

the input supply. It regulates the current in each

LED string to the programmed value set by an

external current setting resistor. It supports both

analog and PWM dimming independently to

meet special dimming mode request. Full

protection features for the WLED controller

include OCP, OTP, UVP, OVP, LED short/open

protection, inductor/diode short protection.

The high-efficiency buck converter operates in

the current mode operation with a built-in

MOSFET and a built-in synchronous rectifier. It

offers a very compact solution to achieve

excellent

load

and

line

regulation.

Full

protection features for the buck converter

include OCP and thermal shutdown.

The MP3378E is available in a TSSOP-28EP

package.
