MIC3201
High Brightness LED Driver with
High-Side Current Sense
General Description
The MIC3201 is a hysteretic step-down, constant-current,
High-Brightness LED (HB LED) driver capable of driving
up to four, 1A LEDs. It provides an ideal solution for
interior/exterior lighting, architectural and ambient lighting,
LED bulbs, and other general illumination applications.
The MIC3201 operates with an input voltage range from
6V to 20V. The hysteretic control gives good supply
rejection and fast response during load transients and
PWM dimming. The high-side current sensing and on-chip
current sense amplifier delivers LED current with ±5%
accuracy. An external high-side current sense resistor is
used to set the output current.
The MIC3201 offers a dedicated PWM input (DIM) which
enables a wide range of pulsed dimming. A high switching
frequency operation up to 1MHz allows the use of smaller
external components minimizing space and cost.
The MIC3201 operates over a junction temperature range
of -40°C to +125°C and is available in an 8-pin ePAD
SOIC package.

Pin Name
VCC
Pin Function
Voltage Regulator Output. The V
CC
pin supplies the power to the internal circuitry. The VCC in
the output of a linear regulator which is powered from VIN. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is
recommended for bypassing and should be placed as close as possible to the VCC and AGND
pins. Do not connect to an external load.
Current Sense Input. The CS pin provides the high-side current sense to set the LED current
with an external sense resistor.
Input Power Supply. VIN is the input supply pin to the internal circuitry and the positive input to
the current sense comparator. Due to the high frequency switching noise, a 10µF ceramic
capacitor is recommended to be placed as close as possible to VIN and the power ground
(PGND) pin for bypassing. Please refer to layout recommendations.
Ground pin for analog circuitry. Internal signal ground for all low power sections.
Enable Input. The EN pin provides a logic level control of the output and the voltage has to be
2.0V or higher to enable the current regulator. The output stage is gated by the DIM pin. When
the EN pin is pulled low, the regulator goes to off state and the supply current of the device is
greatly reduced (below 1µA). In the off state, the output drive is placed in a "tri-stated" condition,
where MOSFET is in an “off” or non-conducting state. Do not drive the EN pin above the supply
voltage.
PWM Dimming Input. The DIM pin provides the control for brightness of the LED. A PWM input
can be used to control the brightness of LED. DIM high enables the output and its voltage has to
be at least 2.0V or higher. DIM low disables the output, regardless of EN “high” state.
Power Ground pin for Power FET. Power Ground (PGND) is the ground path for the high current
hysteretic mode. The current loop for the power ground should be as small as possible and
separate from the Analog ground (AGND) loop. Refer to the layout considerations for more
details.
Drain of Internal Power MOSFET. The LX pin connects directly to the inductor and provides the
switching current necessary to operate in hysteretic mode. Due to the high frequency switching
and high voltage associated with this pin, the switch node should be routed away from sensitive
nodes.
Connect to PGND.
