MIC4811
High Current 6 Channel Linear WLED
Driver with DAM™ and Ultra Fast
PWM™ Control
General Description
Features
The MIC4811 is a high efficiency linear White LED
(WLED) driver designed to drive up to six high current
WLEDs for signage lighting. The MIC4811 provides the
highest possible efficiency as this architecture has no
switching losses present in traditional charge pumps or
inductive boost circuits. The MIC4811 provides six linear
drivers which maintain constant current for up to six
WLEDs. It features a typical dropout of 100mV at 50mA.
The MIC4811 features Dynamic Average Matching™
(DAM™) which is specifically designed to provide optimum
matching across all WLEDs. The high accuracy (±1%
typical) current regulated WLED channels ensure uniform
display illumination under all conditions. The brightness is
controlled through an Ultra Fast PWM™ interface
operating down to less than 1% duty cycle.
The MIC4811 is available in an 10-pin MSOP package
with a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

RSET
The RSET pin is used to set the peak current of the linear
driver by connecting a RSET resistor to ground. The
average LED current can be calculated by equation (1):
Functional Description
The MIC4811 is a six channel linear WLED driver. The
WLED driver is designed to maintain proper current
regulation with LED current accuracy of 1%, and typical
matching of 1% across the six channels. The WLEDs
are driven independently from the input supply and will
maintain regulation with a dropout of 100mV at 50mA.
The low dropout allows the WLEDs to be driven directly
from the battery voltage and eliminates the need for
large and inefficient charge pumps. The maximum
WLED current for each channel is set by the external
RSET resistor. Dimming is controlled by applying a PWM
signal to the END pin. The MIC4811 accommodates a
wide PWM frequency range as outlined in the application
information section.
RSET [kΩ] = ( 820 / ILED [mA] ) + 0.139
A plot of ILED versus RSET is shown in Figure 2.

Block Diagram
As shown in Figure 1, the MIC4811 consists of six
current mirrors set to copy a master current determined
by the RSET resistor. The linear drivers have a
designated control block for enabling and dimming the
WLEDs.

VIN
The input supply (VIN) provides power to the linear
drivers and the control circuitry. The VIN operating range
is 3V to 5.5V. A bypass capacitor of 2.2µF should be
placed close to input (VIN) pin and the ground (GND)
pin. Refer to the layout recommendations section for
details on placing the input capacitor (C1).

Figure 2. Peak LED Current vs. RSET
D1-D6
The D1 through D6 pins are the linear driver inputs for
WLED 1 through 6, respectively. Connect the anodes of
the WLEDs to VIN and each cathode of the WLEDs to D1
through D6. When operating with less than six WLEDs,
leave the unused D pins unconnected. The linear drivers
are extremely versatile in that they may be used in any
combinations, for example D1 thru D6 leaving D5
unconnected or paralleled for higher current
applications.
EN
The EN pin is equivalent to the enable pin for the linear
drivers on the MIC4811. It can also be used for dimming
using a PWM signal. See the PWM Dimming Interface in
the Application Information section for details. Pulling the
END low for more than 20ms puts the MIC4811 into a
low Iq sleep mode. The EN pin cannot be left floating; a
floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the
outputs. The first pulse on the EN pin must be equal or
greater to 60μs to wake the part up in a known state. This
equates to 3.3kHz PWM signal at equal or greater than 50%
duty cycle. Higher PWM frequencies may be used but the
first pulse must be equal or greater than 60μs.

GND
The ground pin is the ground path for the linear drivers.
The current loop for the ground should be as small as
possible. The ground of the input capacitor should be
routed with low impedance traces to the GND pin and
made as short as possible. Refer to the layout
recommendations for more details.

Application Information
Dynamic Average Matching (DAM™)
The Dynamic average matching architecture multiplexes
four voltage references to provide highly accurate LED
current and channel matching. The MIC4811 achieves
industry leading LED channel matching of 1% across the
entire dimming range.
Ultra Fast PWM™ Dimming Interface
The MIC4811 supports a wide range of PWM control
signal frequencies from 200Hz to 500kHz. This
extremely wide range of control provides ultimate
flexibility for handheld applications using high frequency
PWM control signals.
WLED dimming is achieved by pulse width modulating
the linear drivers which are controlled by a PWM signal
to the END pin. For PWM frequencies between 200Hz –
20kHz the MIC4811 supports a duty cycle range from
1% to 100%, see Figure3. The MIC4811 incorporates an
internal shutdown delay to ensure that the internal
control circuitry remains active during PWM dimming.
This feature prevents the possibility of backlight
flickering when using low frequency PWM control
signals. The MIC4811 also supports Ultra Fast PWM™
frequencies from 20kHz to 500kHz. Due to input signal
propagation delay, PWM frequencies above 20kHz have
a non-linear relationship between the duty cycle and the
average LED current, see Figures 4 and 5. Figures 6
through 10 show the WLED current response when a
(1)
PWM signal is applied to the END pin .
Figure 4. Channel Current Response to PWM Control
Signal Frequencies from 50kHz to 500kHz
(1)
From the low Iq sleep mode higher PWM frequencies may require a
logic high enable signal for 60μs to first enable the MIC4811 prior to
PWM dimming.

Input Capacitor
The MIC4811 is a high-performance, high bandwidth
device. Stability can be maintained using a ceramic input
capacitor of 2.2µF. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide
optimal performance at a minimum amount of space.
X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for the input
capacitor. Y5V dielectrics lose most of their capacitance
over temperature and are therefore, not recommended.
