The MP4030 is a TRIAC-dimmable, primary-sidecontrol, offline LED lighting controller with active
PFC. It can output an accurate LED current for
an isolated lighting application with a single-stage
converter. The proprietary real-current-control
method can accurately control the LED current
using primary-side information. It can significantly
simplify LED lighting system design by
eliminating secondary-side feedback components
and the optocoupler.
The MP4030 implements power-factor correction
and works in boundary-conduction mode to
reduce MOSFET switching losses.
The MP4030 has an integrated charging circuit at
the supply pin for fast start-up without a
perceptible delay.
The proprietary dimming contraol expands the
TRIAC-based dimming range.
The MP4030 has multiple protections that greatly
enhance system reliability and safety, and
include over-voltage protection, short-circuit
protection, programmable primary-side overcurrent protection, supply-pin under-voltage
lockout, and over-temperature protection.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD(MAX)=(TJ(MAX)TA)/ θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation
will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go
into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry
protects the device from permanent damage.

Pin Function
One of the Internal Multiplier Input. Connect to the tap of resistor divider from the rectified
voltage of the AC line. The half-wave sinusoid signal to this pin provides a reference signal
for the internal current control loop. The MULT pin also detects the TRIAC dimming phase.
Zero-Current Detection. A negative going edge triggers the internal MOSFET’s turn-on
signal. Connect to the tap of a resistor divider from the auxiliary winding to GND. The ZCD
pin can also detect over-voltage and over-current conditions. Over-voltage occurs if VZCD
exceeds the over-voltage-protection (OVP) threshold after a 2µs blanking time when the
internal MOSFET turns off. Over-current occurs if VZCD exceeds 0.9V during the gate-on
interval after the leading edge blanking time
Supply Voltage. Supplies power for both the control signal and the internal MOSFET’s gate
driver. Connect to an external bulk capacitor—typically 22µF with a 100pF ceramic
capacitor to reduce noise.
Dimming Pull-Down. Drain of the internal dimming pull-down MOSFET. Connect a resistor
from this pin to the D pin to pull down the rectified input voltage during the TRIAC dimming
OFF interval.
Internal Low-Side main MOSFET Source. Connect a resistor from this pin to GND to sense
the internal MOSFET current. An internal comparator compares the resulting voltage to the
internal sinusoid shaped current reference signal to determine when the MOSFET turns off.
If the voltage exceeds the current-limit threshold of 2.3V after the leading edge blanking
time during the turn-on interval, the gate signal turns off.
Internal Low-Side main MOSFET Drain. This pin also internally connects to VCC via a diode
and a JFET to form an internal charging circuit for VCC. Connect to the source of the highside MOSFET.
Ground. Current return of the control signal and the gate drive signal.
Loop Compensation. Connects to a compensation network to stabilize the LED driver and
accurately control the LED driver current. The COMP pin can also monitor for short-circuit
conditions: if the COMP voltage rises above 5V, the short-circuit protection triggers.

MP4030—PRIMARY-SIDE-CONTROL, OFFLINE LED CONTROLLER WITH PFC
OPERATION
The MP4030 is a TRIAC-dimmable, primary-sidecontrol, offline LED controller designed for highperformance LED lighting. The MP4030 can
accurately control the LED current using the realcurrent-control method based on primary-side
information. It can also achieve a high power
factor to eliminate noise pollution on the AC line.
The integrated VCC charging circuit can achieve
fast start-up without any perceptible delay. The
MP4030 is suitable for TRIAC-based dimming
with an extended dimming range.
Boundary-Conduction Mode
During the external MOSFET ON time (tON), the
rectified input voltage applied across the primaryside inductor (Lm) increases the primary current
increases linearly from zero to the peak value
(IPK). When the external MOSFET turns off, the
energy stored in the inductor forces the
secondary side diode to turn on, and the inductor
current decreases linearly from the peak value to
zero. When the current decreases to zero, the
parasitic resonance caused by the inductor and
the combined parasitic capacitances decreases
the MOSFET drain-source voltage that is also
reflected on the auxiliary winding (see Figure 2).
The zero-current detector generates the external
MOSFET turn-on signal when the ZCD voltage
falls below 0.35V after a blanking time and
ensures the MOSFET turns on at a relatively low
voltage (see Figure 3).

As a result, there are virtually no primary switch
turn-on losses and no secondary-diode reverserecovery losses. This ensures high efficiency and
low EMI noise.
Real-Current-Control
The proprietary real-current-control method
allows the MP4030 to control the secondary-side
LED current based on primary-side information.
The output LED mean current can be calculated
approximately as:
IO 
N  VFB
2  RS
Where:
 N is the turn ratio of the primary side to the
secondary side,
 VFB is the feedback reference voltage
(typically 0.4), and
 RS is the sense resistor between the
MOSFET source and GND.

The MULT pin connects to the tap of a resistor
divider from the rectified instantaneous line
voltage. The multiplier output also has a
sinusoidal shape. This signal provides the
reference for the current comparator against the
primary-side–inductor current, which shapes the
primary-peak current into a sinusoid with the
same phase as the input line voltage. This
achieves a high power factor.

The multiplier’s maximum output voltage to the
current comparator is clamped to 2.3V to limit the
cycle-by-cycle current. The multiplier’s minimum
output voltage is clamped to 0.1 to ensure a turnon signal during the TRIAC dimming OFF interval,
which pulls down the rectifier input voltage and
accurately detects the dimming phase.
VCC Timing Sequence
Initially, VCC is charged through the internal
charging circuit from the AC line. When VCC
reaches 10V, the internal charging circuit stops
charging, the control logic initializes and the
internal main MOSFET begins to switch. Then
the auxiliary winding takes over the power supply.
However, the initial auxiliary-winding positive
voltage may not be large enough to charge VCC,
causing VCC to drop. Instead, if the VCC drops
below the 9V threshold, the internal charging
circuit triggers and charges VCC to 10V again.
This cycle repeats until the auxiliary winding
voltage is high enough to power VCC.
If any fault occurs during this time, the switching
and the internal charging circuit will stop and
latch, and VCC drops. When VCC decreases to 7V,
the internal charging circuit re-charges for autorestart.

Switching Pulses
Figure 5: VCC Timing Sequence
Auto Start
The MP4030 includes an auto starter that starts
timing when the MOSFET turns off. If ZCD fails
to send a turn-on signal after 122µs, the starter
will automatically sends a turn-on signal to avoid
unnecessary Ic shutdowns if ZCD fails.
Minimum OFF Time
The MP4030 operates with a variable switching
frequency; the frequency changes with the
instantaneous input-line voltage. To limit the
maximum frequency and get good EMI
performance, the MP4030 employs an internal
minimum OFF-time limiter of 5.6µs, as shown in
Figure 6.

Leading-Edge Blanking
In order to avoid premature switching-pulse
termination due to the parasitic capacitances
discharging when the MOSFET turns on, an
internal leading-edge blanking (LEB) unit
between the S pin and the current-comparator
input blocks the path from the S pin to the current
comparator input during the blanking time. Figure
7 shows the leading-edge blanking.

Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
Output over-voltage protection (OVP) prevents
component damage from over-voltage conditions.
The auxiliary winding voltage’s positive plateau is
proportional to the output voltage, and the OVP
monitors this auxiliary winding voltage instead of
directly monitoring the output voltage as shown in
Figure 8. Once the ZCD pin voltage exceeds
5.5V, the OVP signal triggers and latches, the
gate driver turns off, and the IC enters quiescent
mode. When the VCC drops below the UVLO
threshold, the IC shuts down and the system
restarts. The output OVP set point can be
calculated as:

Output Short-Circuit Protection (SCP)
In the event of an output short-circuit, the COMP
voltage rises. When the voltage reaches 5V, the
IC will shut down and restart until VCC drops
below UVLO.
Primary Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The ZCD pin has an internally-integrated
comparator for primary OCP. When the gate is
on, the comparator is enabled. Over-current
occurs when VZCD exceeds 0.9V after a blanking
time. Then the IC shuts down and restarts until
VCC dropping below UVLO. Figure 10 shows ZCD
OCP.

Thermal Shutdown
To prevent internal temperatures from exceeding
150°C and causing lethal thermal damage, the
MP4030 shuts down the switching cycle and
latched until VCC dropping below UVLO and
restarts again.
The MP4030 detects the dimming turn-on cycle
through the MULT pin, which is fed into the
control loop to adjust the internal reference
voltage. When the MULT voltage exceeds 0.35V,
the device treats this signal as a dimmer turn-on
signal. When the MULT voltage falls below 0.15V,
the system treats this as a dimmer turn-off signal.
The MP4030 has a 25% line-cycle–detection
blanking time with each line cycle, The real
phase detector output adds this time, as shown
in Figure 12. That means if the turn-on cycle
exceeds 75% of the line cycle, the output
remains at the same maximum current. It
improves the line regulation during the maximum
TRIAC turn-on cycle or without a dimmer.
TRIAC-Based Dimming Control
The MP4030 can implement TRIAC-based
dimming. The TRIAC dimmer usually consists of
a bi-directional SCR with an adjustable turn-on
phase. Figure 11 shows the leading-edge TRIAC
dimmer waveforms.

phase
If the turn-on cycle decreases to less than 75% of
the line cycle, the internal reference voltage
decreases as the dimming turn-on phase
decreasing, and the output current decreases
accordingly to implement dimming. As the
dimming turn-on cycle decreases, the COMP
voltage also decreases. Once the COMP voltage
reaches to 1.9V, it is clamped so that the output
current decreases slowly to maintain the TRIAC
holding current and avoid random flicker. Figure
13 shows the relationship between the dimming
turn-on phase and output current.

MP4030—PRIMARY-SIDE-CONTROL, OFFLINE LED CONTROLLER WITH PFC
RIPPLE SUPPRESSOR
(Innovative Proprietary)
For dimming LED lighting application, a single
stage PFC converter needs large output
capacitor to reduce the ripple whose frequency is
double of the Grid. And in deep dimming situation,
the LED would shimmer caused by the dimming
on duty which is not all the same in every line
cycle. What’s more, the Grid has noise or inrush
which would bring out shimmer even flicker.
Figure 14 shows a ripple suppressor, which can
shrink the LED current ripple obviously.
and the Zener voltage of DZ is as small as
possible when guarantee VD  VDZ  0.5  VCO _PP .
Optional Protection Circuit
In large output voltage or large LEDs current
application, MOSFET M may be destroyed by
over-voltage or over-current when LED+ shorted
to LED- at working.

Figure14: Ripple Suppressor
Principle:
Shown in Figure 14, Resister R, capacitor C, and
MOSFET M compose the ripple suppressor.
Through the RC filter, C gets the mean value of
the output voltage VCo to drive the MOSFET M. M
works in variable resistance area. C’s voltage VC
is steady makes the LEDs voltage is steady, so
the LEDs current will be smooth. MOSFET M
holds the ripple voltage vCo of the output.
Diode D and Zener diode DZ are used to restrain
the overshoot at start-up. In the start-up process,
through D and DZ, C is charged up quickly to turn
on M, so the LED current can be built quickly.
When VC rising up to about the steady value, D
and DZ turn off, and C combines R as the filter to
get the mean voltage drop of VCo.
The most important parameter of MOSFET M is
the threshold voltage Vth which decides the
power loss of the ripple suppressor. Lower Vth is
better if the MOSFET can work in variable
resistance area. The BV of the MOSFET can be
selected as double as VCo and the Continues
Drain current level can be selected as decuple as
the LEDs’ current at least.
About the RC filter, it can be selected
by RC  50 / fLineCycle . Diode D can select 1N4148,

Figure 15 shows GS over-voltage protection
circuit. Zener diode DG and resistor RG are used
to protect MOSFET M from GS over-voltage
damaged. When LED+ shorted to LED- at normal
operation, the voltage drop on capacitor C is high,
and the voltage drop on Gate-Source is the same
as capacitor C. The Zener diode DG limits the
voltage VGS and RG limits the charging current to
protect DG. RG also can limit the current of DZ at
the moment when LED+ shorted to LED-. VDG
should bigger than Vth.
Drain-Source Over-voltage and Over-current
Protection
As Figure 16 shows, NPN transistor T, resistor
RC and RE are set up to protect MOSFET M from
over-current damaged when output short occurs
at normal operation. When LED+ shorted to LED-,
the voltage vDS of MOSFET is equal to the vCo
which has a high surge caused by the parasitic
parameter. Zener Dioder DDS protects MOSFET
from over-voltage damaged. Transistor T is used
to pull down the VGS of M. When M turns off, the
load is opened, MP4030 detects there is an OVP
happened, so the IC functions in quiescent. The
