Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) MPQ7230 Buck-Boost/Buck Automotive LED Drivers

Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) MPQ7230 Buck-Boost/Buck Automotive Infrared LED Drivers are fixed-frequency, constant current devices with integrated power MOSFETs. The MPQ7230 supplies 1.2A of continuous output current, with excellent load and line regulation spanning a wide input supply range in a very compact solution. Furthermore, the MPQ7230 can be configured to buck mode to supply up to 3A of constant load current.

The MPS MPQ7230 Buck-Boost/Buck Automotive LED Drivers support low 10Hz PWM dimming frequencies to adjust infrared radiation (IR) in LED driver applications. The device also achieves compatibility with 30FPS, 60FPS, and 120FPS dimming. Full protection features are provided on the MPQ7230, including over-current protection (OCP), thermal derating (TD), and thermal shutdown (TSD).

The MPQ7230 is encapsulated in a space-saving QFN-19 (3mm x 4mm) package and requires a minimal number of readily available, standard external components.
