MIC2287
1.2MHz PWM White LED Driver with OVP in
2mm × 2mm MLF™ and Thin SOT-23
General Description
The MIC2287 is a 1.2MHz pulse width modulated (PWM),
boost-switching regulator that is optimized for constant-
current, white LED driver applications. With a maximum
output voltage of 34V and a switch current of over 500mA,
the MIC2287 easily drives a string of up to 8 white LEDs in
series, ensuring uniform brightness and eliminating several
ballast resistors.
The MIC2287 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
as opposed to variable frequency topologies is much lower
noise and input ripple injected back to the battery source.
To optimize efficiency, the feedback voltage is set to only
95mV. This reduces the power dissipation in the current set
resistor and allows the lowest total output voltage, hence
minimal current draw from the battery.
The MIC2287 is available with 3 levels of overvoltage protec-
tion, 15V, 24V, and 34V. This allows designers to choose the
smallest possible external components with the appropriate
voltage ratings for their applications.
The MIC2287 is available in low profile Thin SOT-23 5-lead and
an 8-lead 2mm × 2mm MLF™ package options. The MIC2287
has a junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
