MBI5024
Load Supply Voltage (VLED)
MBI5024 are designed to operate with VDS ranging from 0.4V to 0.8V (depending on IOUT=3~45mA) considering the
package power dissipating limits. VDS may be higher enough to make PD(act) >PD(max) when VLED=5V and
VDS=VLED–VF, in which VLED is the load supply voltage. In this case, it is recommended to use the lowest possible
supply voltage or to set an external voltage reducer, VDROP.
A voltage reducer lets VDS=(VLED–VF)–VDROP.
Resistors or Zener diode can be used in the applications as shown in the following figures.

Switching Noise Reduction
LED driver ICs are frequently used in switch-mode applications which always behave with switching noise due to
the parasitic inductance on PCB. To eliminate switching noise, refer to “Application Note for 8-bit and 16-bit LED
Drivers- Overshoot”.
