DESCRIPTION

The EV3394EF-00A is an evaluation board for

the MP3394EF, a step-up converter designed

for liquid-crystal displays that employ an array

of LEDs as the light source. It can drive up to 4

strings LEDs in parallel with 200mA/string

maximum current.

The MP3394 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 MP3394 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.
