1 Overview

1.1 Description

This reference design proposes a dual-channel buck-boost system for daytime running lamp (DRL), position lamp (PL), and turn indicator (TI) applications using the MPQ7200-AEC1. The MPQ7200-AEC1 is a high-frequency, constant-current LED driver with integrated power MOSFETs. The device offers a compact solution to achieve 1.2A of continuous output current (IOUT) across a wide input supply range, with excellent load and line regulation.

The EVQ7200-DRL-PL-TI-00A is a fully assembled and tested buck-boost mode LED driver reference design board. It has two buck-boost channels and generates an LED current up to 1A from a 6V to 20V input range.
