Micrel MIC3202YME High-brightness led driver with integrated mosfet and high-side current sense Datasheet

MIC3202/MIC3202-1
High-Brightness LED Driver with
Integrated MOSFET and High-Side
Current Sense
General Description
Features
The MIC3202 is a hysteretic, step-down, constant-current,
High-Brightness LED (HB LED) driver. It provides an ideal
solution for interior/exterior lighting, architectural and
ambient lighting, LED bulbs, and other general illumination
applications.
The MIC3202 is well suited for lighting applications
requiring a wide-input voltage range. The hysteretic control
gives good supply rejection and fast response during load
transients and PWM dimming. The high-side current
sensing and on-chip current-sense amplifier delivers LED
current with ±5% accuracy. An external high-side currentsense resistor is used to set the output current.
The MIC3202 offers a dedicated PWM input (DIM) which
enables a wide range of pulsed dimming. High-frequency
switching operation of up to 1MHz allows the use of
smaller external components, minimizing space and cost.
The MIC3202 offers a frequency dither feature for low-EMI
applications.
The MIC3202 operates over a junction temperature from
−40°C to +125°C and is available in an 8-pin e-PAD SOIC
package.
A dither disabled version MIC3202-1 is also available in
the same package as the MIC3202.

Pin Description

Number
Pin Name
1
VCC
2
CS
Current-Sense Input. The CS pin provides the high-side current sense to set the LED current using an
external sense resistor.
3
VIN
Input Power Supply. The VIN pin is the input supply pin to the internal circuitry and the positive input to
the current sense comparator. Due to the high frequency switching noise, a 1µF ceramic capacitor is
recommended to be placed as close as possible to VIN pin and the power ground (PGND) pin for
bypassing. Please refer to layout recommendations.
4
AGND
Pin Function
Voltage Regulator Output. The VCC pin supplies the power to the internal circuitry. The VCC is the output
of a linear regulator which is powered from VIN. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for bypassing
and should be placed as close as possible to the VCC and AGND pins.
Ground pin for analog circuitry. Internal signal ground for all low power sections.
5
EN
Enable Input. The EN pin provides a logic level control of the output. The voltage has to be 2.0V or higher
to enable the current regulator. The output stage is also gated by the DIM input. When the EN pin is
pulled low, the regulator goes to off state and the supply current of the device is greatly reduced (below
1µA).
6
DIM
PWM Dimming Input. The DIM pin provides the control for brightness of the LED. A PWM input can be
used to control the brightness of LED. DIM high enables the output and its voltage has to be at least 2.0V
or higher. DIM low disables the output, regardless of EN “high” state.
7
PGND
Power Ground pin for Internal Power FET. Power Ground (PGND) is the ground path for the high current.
The current loop for the power ground should be as small as possible and separate from the Analog
ground (AGND) loop. Refer to the layout considerations for more details.
8
LX
Drain of Internal Power MOSFET. The LX pin connects directly to the inductor and provides the switching
current necessary to operate in hysteretic mode. Due to the high frequency switching and high voltage
associated with this pin, the switch node should be routed away from sensitive nodes.

Functional Description
The MIC3202 is a hysteretic step-down driver which
regulates the LED current over wide input voltage range
and capable of driving up to eight 1A LEDs in series.
The device operates from a 6V to 37V input. When the
input voltage reaches 6V, the internal 5V VCC is
regulated and the LX pin is pulled low if the EN pin and
DIM pin are high. The inductor current builds up linearly.
When the CS pin voltage hits VCS(MAX) with respect to VIN,
the MOSFET turns off and the Schottky diode takes over
and returns the current to VIN. Then the current through
inductor and LEDs starts decreasing. When CS pin hits
VCS(MIN), the MOSFET turns on and the cycle repeats.
September 2010
The frequency of operation depends upon the input voltage,
total LED voltage drop, LED current and temperature. The
calculation for frequency of operation is given in the
Application Information section.
The MIC3202 has an EN pin which gives the flexibility to
enable and disable the output with logic high and low
signals.
The MIC3202 also has a DIM pin which can turn on and off
the LEDs if EN is in HIGH state. This DIM pin controls the
brightness of the LED by varying the duty cycle of DIM pin
from 1% to 99%.

Application Information
The internal block diagram of the MIC3202 is shown in
Figure 1. The MIC3202 is composed of a current-sense
comparator, voltage and current reference, 5V regulator
and MOSFET. Hysteretic mode control, also called
bang-bang control, is a topology that does not employ an
error amplifier, using an error comparator instead.
The inductor current is controlled within a hysteretic
window. If the inductor current is too small, the power
MOSFET is turned on; if the inductor current is large
enough, the power MOSFET is turned off. It is a simple
control scheme with no oscillator and no loop
compensation. Since the control scheme does not need
loop compensation, it simplifies design and avoids
problems of instability.
Transient response to load and line variation is very fast
and only depends on propagation delay. This makes the
control scheme very popular to achieve low dimming
duty cycles.
LED Current and RCS
The main function of the MIC3202 is to control the LED
current accurately within ±5% of the set current. A highside RCS resistor sets LED current. The following
equation gives the RCS value:
Frequency of Operation
To calculate the frequency spread across input supply:
VL = L
ΔIL
Δt
L is the inductance, ∆IL is fixed (the value of the hysteresis):
ΔIL =
VCS(MAX ) - VCS(MIN)
RCS
VL is the voltage across inductor L which varies by supply.
For current rising (MOSFET is ON):
tr = L

where:
VL_RISE = VIN − ILED × RCS − VLED.

Inductor
According to the above equation, choose the inductor to
make the operating frequency no higher than 1.0MHz.
Tables 2, 3, and 4 give a reference inductor value and
corresponding frequency for a given LED current. For
space-sensitive applications, smaller inductor with higher
switching frequency could be used but the efficiency of
the regular will be reduced.

Select an inductor with saturation current rating at least 30%
higher than the peak current.
Free-Wheeling Diode
The free-wheeling diode should have the reverse voltage
rating to accommodate the maximum input voltage. The
forward voltage drop should be small to get the lowest
conduction dissipation for high efficiency. The forward current
rating has to be at least equal to LED current. A Schottky
diode is recommended for highest efficiency.
Input Capacitor
The ceramic input capacitor is selected by voltage rating and
ripple current rating. To determine the input current ripple
rating, the RMS value of the input capacitor can be found by:
ICIN(RMS) = ILED × D × (1 - D)
The power loss in the input capacitor is:

The input capacitor current rating can be considered as
ILED/2 under the worst condition D = 50%.
LED Ripple Current
The LED current is the same as inductor current. If LED ripple
current needs to be reduced then place a 4.7µF/50V ceramic
capacitor across LED.
Frequency Dithering
The MIC3202 is designed to reduce EMI by dithering the
switching frequency ±12% in order to spread the noise
spectrum over a wider range. This lowers the EMI noise
peaks generated by the switching regulator.
Switching regulators generate noise by their nature and they
are the main EMI source to interference with nearby circuits. If
the switching frequency of a regulator is modulated via
frequency dithering, the energy of the EMI is spread among
many frequencies instead of concentrated at fundamental
switching frequency and its harmonics. The MIC3202
modulates the VCS(MAX) with amplitude ±6mV by a pseudo
random generator to generate the ±12% of the switching
frequency dithering to reduce the EMI noise peaks.

PCB Layout Guidelines
Warning!!! To minimize EMI and output noise, follow
these layout recommendations.
PCB Layout is critical to achieve reliable, stable and
efficient performance. A ground plane is required to
control EMI and minimize the inductance in power,
signal and return paths.
The following guidelines should be followed to insure
proper operation of the MIC3202 regulator.
IC
Use thick traces to route the input and output power
lines.
Signal and power grounds should be kept separate and
connected at only one location.
Input Capacitor
Place the input capacitors on the same side of the board
and as close to the IC as possible.
Keep both the VIN and PGND traces as short as
possible.
Place several vias to the ground plane close to the input
capacitor ground terminal, but not between the input
capacitors and IC pins.
Use either X7R or X5R dielectric input capacitors. Do not
use Y5V or Z5U type capacitors.
Do not replace the ceramic input capacitor with any
other type of capacitor. Any type of capacitor can be
placed in parallel with the input capacitor.
If a Tantalum input capacitor is placed in parallel with the
input capacitor, it must be recommended for switching
regulator applications and the operating voltage must be
derated by 50%.
In “Hot-Plug” applications, a Tantalum or Electrolytic
bypass capacitor must be placed in parallel to ceramic
capacitor to limit the over-voltage spike seen on the
input supply with power is suddenly applied. In this case
an additional Tantalum or Electrolytic bypass input
capacitor of 22µF or higher is required at the input power
connection if necessary.
Output Capacitor
If LED ripple current needs to be reduced then place a
4.7µF/50V capacitor across LED. The capacitor must be
placed as close to the LED as possible.
Diode
Place the Schottky diode on the same side of the board as
the IC and input capacitor.
The connection from the Schottky diode’s Anode to the
switching node must be as short as possible.
The diode’s Cathode connection to the RCS must be keep as
short as possible.
RC Snubber
Place the RC snubber on the same side of the board and as
close to the Schottky diode as possible. Also the snubber
closest to LX pin and PGND pin.
RCS (Current-Sense Resistor)
Make a Kelvin connection to the VIN and CS pins
respectively for current sensing.
Trace Routing Recommendation
Keep the power traces as short and wide as possible. One
current flowing loop is during the internal MOSFET ON time,
the traces connecting the input capacitor CIN, RCS, LEDs,
Inductor, the LX pin, PGND and back to CIN. The other
current flowing loop is during the internal MOSFET OFF
time, the traces connecting RCS, LED, inductor, free wheeling
diode and back to RCS. These two loop areas should kept as
small as possible to minimize the noise interference,
Keep all analog signal traces away from the switching node
and its connecting traces.
Inductor
Keep the inductor connection to the switch node (LX Pin)
short.
Do not route any digital lines underneath or close to the
inductor.
To minimize noise, place a ground plane underneath the
inductor.

Ripple Measurements
To properly measure ripple on either input or output of a
switching regulator, a proper ring in tip measurement is
required. Standard oscilloscope probes come with a
grounding clip, or a long wire with an alligator clip.
Unfortunately, for high-frequency measurements, this
ground clip can pick-up high-frequency noise and
erroneously inject it into the measured output ripple.
The standard evaluation board accommodates a home
made version by providing probe points for both the
input and output supplies and their respective grounds.
This requires the removing of the oscilloscope probe
sheath and ground clip from a standard oscilloscope
probe and wrapping a non-shielded bus wire around the
oscilloscope probe. If there does not happen to be any
non-shielded bus wire immediately available, the leads
from axial resistors will work. By maintaining the shortest
possible ground lengths on the oscilloscope probe, true
ripple measurements can be obtained.
