2mm White LED Driver
with Internal Schottky Diode and OVP
General Description
The MIC2289 is a PWM (pulse width modulated), boost-
switching 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.

Notes:
Overtemperature
Threshold Shutdown
1. Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device outside of its operating ratings. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
J
(max),
the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature, T
A
. The maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive
die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
2. This device is not guaranteed to operate beyond its specified operating rating.
3. Devices are inherently ESD sensitive. Handling precautions required. Human body model.
4. Specification for packaged product only.

MIC2289 Block Diagram
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, g
m
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 compen-
sation 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 compensa-
tion ramp generator. This summed current-loop signal is fed
to one of the inputs of the PWM generator.
The g
m
error amplifier measures the LED current through the
external sense resistor and amplifies the error between the
detected signal and the 95mV reference voltage. The output
of the g
m
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, maintain-
ing the constant frequency current-mode PWM control. The
LED is set by the feedback resistor:
95mv
I

=
R
FB
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.
