MIC2289 Micrel MIC2289 2mm × 2mm White LED Driver with Internal Schottky Diode and OVP General Description Features The MIC2289 is a PWM (pulse width modulated), boostswitching regulator that is optimized for constant-current white LED driver applications. The MIC2289 features an internal Schottky diode and three levels of output overvoltage protection providing a small size and efficient DC/DC solution that requires only four external components. To optimize efficiency, the feedback voltage is set to only 95mV. This reduces power dissipation in the current set resistor and allows the lowest total output voltage, hence minimal current draw from the battery. The MIC2289 implements a constant frequency 1.2MHz PWM control scheme. The high frequency, PWM operation saves board space by reducing external component sizes. The added benefit of the constant frequency PWM scheme in caparison to varible frequency is much lower noise and input ripple injected to the input power source. The MIC2289 clamps the output voltage in case of open LED conditions, protecting itself and the output capacitor. The MIC2289 is available with three output OVP options of 15V, 24V, and 34V. The different OVP options allows the use of the smallest possible output capacitor with the appropriate voltage rating for a given application. The MIC2289 is available in a 2mm × 2mm 8-pin MLF™ package and has a junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

The output of the gm error amplifier provides the voltage-loop signal that is fed to the other input of the PWM generator. When the current-loop signal exceeds the voltage-loop signal, the PWM generator turns off the bipolar output transistor. The next clock period initiates the next switching cycle, maintaining the constant frequency current-mode PWM control. The LED is set by the feedback resistor: Functional Description The MIC2289 is a constant frequency, PWM current mode boost regulator. The block diagram is shown above. The MIC2289 is composed of an oscillator, slope compensation ramp generator, current amplifier, gm error amplifier, PWM generator, 500mA bipolar output transistor, and Schottky rectifier diode. The oscillator generates a 1.2MHz clock. The clock’s two functions are to trigger the PWM generator that turns on the output transistor and to reset the slope compensation ramp generator. The current amplifier is used to measure the switch current by amplifying the voltage signal from the internal sense resistor. The output of the current amplifier is summed with the output of the slope compensation ramp generator. This summed current-loop signal is fed to one of the inputs of the PWM generator. August, 2004 95mv ILED = RFB The Enable pin shuts down the output switching and disables control circuitry to reduce input current to leakage levels. Enable pin input current is zero at zero volts. 5 M9999-081104 MIC2289 Micrel The table below shows recommended inductor and output capacitor values for various series-LED applications: External Component Selection The MIC2289 can be used across a wide rage of applications.

One is PWM dimming, and the other is continuous dimming. 1. PWM dimming control is implemented by applying a PWM signal on EN pin as shown in Figure 1. The MIC2289 is turned on and off by the PWM signal. With this method, the LEDs operate with either zero or full current. The average LED current is increased proportionally to the duty-cycle of the PWM signal. This technique has high-efficiency because the IC and the LEDs consume no current during the off cycle of the PWM signal. Typical frequency should be between 100Hz and 10kHz. 2. Continuous dimming control is implemented by applying a DC control voltage to the FB pin of the MIC2289 through a series resistor as shown in Figure 2. The LED current is decreased proportionally with the amplitude of the control voltage. The LED intensity (current) can be dynamically varied applying a DC voltage to the FB pin. The DC voltage can come from a DAC signal, or a filtered PWM signal . The advantage of this approach is that a high frequency PWM signal (>10kHz) can be used to control LED intensity. Open-Circuit Protection If the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit, or in case an LED fails open, the sense resistor will pull the FB pin to ground. This will cause the MIC2289 to switch with a high duty-cycle, resulting in output overvoltage. This may cause the SW pin voltage to exceed its maximum voltage rating, possibly damaging the IC and the external components. To ensure the highest level of protection, the MIC2289 has 3 product options in the 2mm × 2mm MLF™-8 with overvoltage protection, OVP. The extra pins of the 2mm × 2mm MLF™-8 package allow a dedicated OVP monitor with options for 15V, 24V, or 34V (see Figure 3). The reason for the three OVP levels is to let users choose the suitable level of OVP for their application. For example, a 3-LED application would typically see an output voltage of no more than 12V, so a 15V OVP option would offer a suitable level of protection. This allows the user to select the output diode and capacitor with the lowest voltage ratings, therefore smallest size and lowest cost. The OVP will clamp the output voltage to within the specified limits. VIN VIN VIN SW OUT FB EN GND VIN SW OUT PWM Figure 3. MLF™ Package OVP Circuit FB EN Start-Up and Inrush Current During start-up, inrush current of approximately double the nominal current flows to set up the inductor current and the voltage on the output capacitor. If the inrush current needs to be limited, a soft-start circuit similar to Figure 4 could be implemented. The soft-start capacitor, CSS, provides overdrive to the FB pin at start-up, resulting in gradual increase of switch duty cycle and limited inrush current. GND Figure 1.
