PIN FUNCTIONS
Pin # Name Description
1 NC No Connect.
Supply Input. VIN supplies the power to the chip, as well as the step-up converter switch. Drive
2 VIN
VIN with a 5V to 28V power source. Must be locally bypassed.
The Internal 5V Linear Regulator Output. VCC provides power supply for the internal MOSFET
3 VCC switch gate driver and the internal control circuitry. Bypass VCC to GND with a ceramic
capacitor.
Step-up Converter Compensation Pin. This pin is used to compensate the regulation control
4 COMP
loop. Connect a capacitor or a series RC network from COMP to GND.
Brightness Control Input. To use external PWM dimming mode, apply a PWM signal on this pin
for brightness control. To use DC input PWM dimming mode, apply a DC voltage range from
6 DBRT
0.2V to 1.2V on this pin linearly to set the internal dimming duty cycle from 0% to 100%. The
MP3389 has positive dimming polarity on DBRT.
Switching Frequency Set. Connect a resistor between OSC and GND to set the step-up
8 OSC converter switching frequency. The voltage at this pin is regulated to 1.23V. The clock frequency
is proportional to the current sourced from this pin.
LED Current Set. Tie a current setting resistor from this pin to ground to program the current in
each LED string. The MP3389 regulates the voltage across the current setting resistor. The
9 ISET
regulation voltage is 1.22V. The proportion of the current through the ISET resistor and the LED
current is 1:1000.
Dimming Repetition Set. This is the timing pin for the oscillator to set the dimming frequency. To
use DC input PWM dimming mode, connect a capacitor from this pin to GND to set the internal
10 BOSC dimming frequency. A saw-tooth waveform is generated on this pin. To use external PWM
dimming mode, connect a 100k resistor from this pin to GND, and apply the PWM signal on
DBRT pin.
LED String 12 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming control
11 LED12 switch. Connect the LED String 12 cathode to this pin. If this string is not used, connect Vin to
this pin.
LED String 11 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming control
12 LED11 switch. Connect the LED String 11 cathode to this pin. If this string is not used, connect Vin to
this pin.
LED String 10 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming control
13 LED10 switch. Connect the LED String 10 cathode to this pin. If this string is not used, connect Vin to
this pin.
LED String 9 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming control
14 LED9 switch. Connect the LED String 9 cathode to this pin. If this string is not used, connect Vin to this
pin.
Step-up Converter Power Switch Gate Output. This pin drives the external power N-MOS
26 GATE
device.
Fault Disconnection Switch Gate Output. When the system starts up normally, this pin
27 VFAULT smoothly turns on the external PMOS. When the MP3389 is disabled, the external
PMOS is turned off to disconnect the input and output.
