MIC3291
1.2MHz PWM White LED Driver
with Internal Schottky Diode and
Single-Wire Linear Brightness
Control
General Description
Features
The MIC3291 is a PWM switching boost regulator that is
•
Single wire combines 16 level linear brightness and
optimized for constant current white LED (WLED) driver
shutdown control
applications. The MIC3291 features an internal Schottky
•
18V / 25V OVP options supports up to four and six
diode, allowing an efficient DC/DC solution that requires
WLEDs
only four external components.
•
Startup in any one of 16 brightness levels
The MIC3291 allows for a single-wire simple digital
•
Internal Schottky diode
interface to control the dimming over 16 steps with a linear
•
2.5V to 6.5V input voltage
scale. The preprogramming feature allows the user to
•
1.2MHz PWM operation
select any one of the 16 WLED current levels as the start
up brightness level.
•
Over 500mA switch current
The feedback voltage of the MIC3291 is only 250mV,
•
250mV reference voltage
allowing high efficiency while retaining excellent accuracy
• ±5%
LED current accuracy
for the WLED current.
•
<1µA shutdown current
The MIC3291 implements a constant frequency 1.2MHz
•
UVLO and over-temperature protection
PWM control scheme. The high frequency PWM operation
•
Thin SOT23-6L package option
saves board space by reducing external component sizes.
The 1.2MHz PWM scheme also reduces switching noise

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.
IC devices are inherently ESD sensitive. Handling precautions required. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
This device is not guaranteed to operate beyond its specified operating rating.
Specification for packaged product only.
