MIC2860-P High Efficiency 2 Channel WLED Driver with PWM Control General Description Features The MIC2860-2P is a high efficiency white LED (WLED) driver designed to drive two WLEDs and greatly extend battery life for portable display backlighting, and keypad backlighting in low cost mobile devices. The MIC2860-2P architecture provides the highest possible efficiency by eliminating switching losses present in traditional charge pumps or inductive boost circuits. It features a typical dropout of 52mV at 30.2mA per channel. This allows the WLEDs to be driven directly from the battery eliminating switching noise and losses present with the use of boost circuitry. The two channels have typical matching of ≤ ±0.5%, which ensures uniform display illumination under all conditions. The WLEDs brightness is externally preset by a resistor and dimmed using PWM interface operating down to less than 1% duty cycle. The MIC2860-2P is available in Thin SOT-23 and SC-70 six pin packages with a junction temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.

MIC2860-2P Functional Diagram Figure 1. MIC2860-2P Functional Block Diagram September 2010 7 M9999-092710-A Micrel Inc. MIC2860-2P Functional Description The MIC2860-2P is a two channel WLED driver. The WLED driver is designed to maintain proper current regulation with LED current accuracy of 1% with a typical matching between the 2 channels of ±0.5%. The WLEDs are driven independently from the input supply and will maintain regulation with a dropout of 52mV at 30.2mA. The low dropout of the linear drivers allows the WLEDs to be driven directly from the battery voltage and eliminates the need for large and inefficient charge pumps. The peak WLED current for each channel is set via an external resistor. If dimming is desired the MIC2860-2P can dim via a PWM signal. 35 LED CURRENT (mA) 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 8 Block Diagram As shown in Figure 1, the MIC2860-2P consists of two current sinks with the peak current determined by RSET. The linear drivers have a designated control block for enabling and dimming of the WLEDs. The MIC2860-2P is controlled by the PWM control block that receives PWM signals for dimming. 12 16 20 24 28 32 RSET (kΩ) Figure 2. Peak LED Current vs. RSET D1, D2 The D1 and D2 pins are the linear driver inputs for WLED 1 and 2, respectively. Connect the anodes of the WLEDs to VIN and each cathode of the WLEDs to D1 and D2. When operating with a single WLED, D1 and D2 should be connected to the WLED cathode to parallel the outputs for improved dropout performance. Paralleling these pins can also be done to drive a higher current through a single WLED. Do not leave these pins floating. VIN The input supply (VIN) provides power to the linear drivers and the control circuitry. The VIN operating range is 3V to 5.5V. Due to wire inductance a minimum bypass capacitor of 1µF should be placed close to input (VIN) pin and the ground (GND) pin. EN The EN pin enables the linear drivers. It can also be used for dimming with a PWM signal. See the PWM Dimming Interface in the Application Information section for details. Do not leave floating. RSET The RSET pin is used by connecting a RSET resistor to ground to set the peak current of the linear drivers. The maximum LED current (EN = 100% Duty Cycle) set by the RSET resistor is shown in the table below: RSET (kΩ) 9.53 11.5 14.3 15.8 19.1 28.7 Peak LED Current vs. RSET 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.

MIC2860-2P Input Capacitor The MIC2860-2P is a high performance, high bandwidth device. Stability can be maintained using a ceramic input capacitor of 1µF. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance with a minimum amount of space. Additional high frequency capacitors, such as small valued NPO dielectric type capacitors, help filter out high-frequency noise and are good practice in any noisesensitive circuit. X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for the input capacitor. Y5V dielectrics lose most of their capacitance over temperature and are therefore, not recommended. Application Information PWM Dimming Interface The MIC2860-2P can receive PWM signals from the EN pin for WLED dimming. Dimming is generated by pulsing the WLEDs on and off in synchronization with the PWM signal. The MIC2860-2P incorporates an internal shutdown delay to ensure that the internal control circuitry remains active during PWM dimming for optimum performance. The lower PWM frequency range is recommended at 250Hz due to the minimum standby to shutdown time of 4ms. As the period of 250Hz is 4ms, a 1% duty cycle would have an on time of 40us and an off time of 3.96ms. To support operation down to 1% duty cycle, the maximum off time must not exceed 4ms or the drivers may go into the low Iq shutdown state. With PWM frequencies higher than 500Hz the TRISE (0.7μs) and TFall (0.2μs) times will have a greater effect on the accuracy of the outputs. An upper frequency of 500Hz is recommended to maintain output accuracy with duty cycles down to 1%. For systems that do not require a duty cycle below 1%, the frequency of the PWM signal may be increased. For example, with a minimum duty cycle of 10% (3.02mA with RSET = 9.53kΩ) the PWM frequency can be increased to 10kHz and still maintain accuracy. September 2010 9 M9999-092710-A Micrel Inc.
