MPS EV0035 Quick Start Manual

The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The EV0035 is the evaluation board for the
MP1523, which is designed for driving up to six
(6) series WLEDs from a single cell Lithium Ion
battery. The board is set up to obtain 20mA
LED current. The current can be adjusted by
varying the resistor R2.
The MP1523 uses current limited, variable
frequency architecture to regulate the LED
current while maintaining high efficiency. The
BIAS pin measures the output voltage and turns
off the converter if an over voltage condition is
present to prevent damage due to an open
circuit condition. The LED current is measured
with an external current sense resistor. The low
0.4V full-scale regulation threshold and 0.5Ω
power switch minimize power loss to improve
efficiency.
