MSL2023/2024 [DATASHEET]
42063A–LED–02/2013
1. Introduction
The MSL2023/24 LED drivers for two-color systems include a linear current controller for the main string, typically for
white LEDs, and a second floating buck controller for a color-adjust LED string. Both the switching and linear controllers
drive external MOSFETs to provide flexibility over a wide range of power levels (LED currents and voltages).
The MSL2023/24 adaptively manage the voltage powering the main LED string. A proprietary and patent pending
efficiency optimizer algorithm controls the voltage output of any AC/DC or DC/DC isolated or non-isolated topology,
including ultra-low bandwidth single-stage PFC flyback controller.
The MSL2023/24 feature peak current control and individual string PWM dimming. The MSL2023 features individual,
register controlled, 180° out of phase PWM dimming at 400Hz. The MSL2024 offers individual string PWM inputs.
The MSL2023/24 operate from a 9.5V to 15V power supply. The Main LED string is driven by a high accuracy, ripple free
linear current controller. The color-adjust string voltage regulation loop uses a constant off-time control algorithm to
achieve stable control with good transient behavior. For flexibility of design, off-time is set using an external resistor. LED
current in both strings can be adjusted using internal 8-bit DACs.
The MSL2023/24 are available in space-saving 24-pin 4x4mm QFN package and operate over the extended -40°C to
105°C operating range.
