MIC3289
1.2MHz PWM White LED Driver with
Internal Schottky Diode and True 1-Wire
Digital Control
General Description
The MIC3289 is a PWM boost-switching regulator that is
optimized for constant-current white LED driver
applications. The MIC3289 features an internal Schottky
diode, allowing an efficient DC/DC solution that requires
only 4 external components.
The MIC3289 allows for a single wire simple digital
interface to control the dimming over 16 steps with a log
scale to give better resolution at the lower currents and to
better match the sensitivity of the human eye. The pre-
programming feature allows the user to select any one of
the 16 WLED current levels as the start-up brightness
level.
The feedback voltage of the MIC3289 is only 250mV,
allowing high efficiency while retaining excellent accuracy
for the white LED current.
The MIC3289 implements a constant frequency 1.2MHz
PWM control scheme. The high frequency PWM operation
saves board space by reducing external component sizes.
The 1.2MHz PWM scheme also reduces switching noise
and ripple to the input power source.
The 2.5V to 6.5V input voltage range of MIC3289 allows
direct operation from single cell Li Ion as well as 3- to 4-
cell NiCad/NiMH/Alkaline batteries.
Battery life is
preserved with a low 1µA shutdown current.
The MIC3289 is available in a low profile Thin SOT23 6-
®
lead package and a 2mm × 2mm MLF -8L package and
has a junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on
Micrel’s web site at www.micrel.com.

Notes:
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.
This device is not guaranteed to operate beyond its specified operating rating.
IC devices are inherently ESD sensitive. Handling precautions required.
Specification for packaged product only.
