MIC2292/93 High Frequency PWM White LED Drivers with Internal Schottky Diode and OP General Description The MIC2292 and MIC2293 are high frequency, Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) boost regulators optimized for constantcurrent, white LED driver applications. Because of their constant PWM switching frequencies of 1.6MHz and 2MHz, respectively, the MIC2292/93 can use the smallest external components, allowing designers to avoid sensitive IF bands in their RF applications. The products feature an internal Schottky diode and two levels of output overvoltage protection allowing a small size and efficient DC/DC solution that requires only four external components. The 2.5 to 1 input voltage range of MIC2292/3 allows direct operation from 1- and 2-cell Li Ion as well as 3- to 4-cell NiCad/NiMH/Alkaline batteries. The MIC2292/3 products are available in a small size 2mm 2mm 8-lead MLF package and have a junction temperature range of 4 C to +125 C. All support documentation can be found on Micrel s web site at www: micrel.com.

Functional Diagram FB EN OP* SW REF 95m g m PWM Generator S 1.6MHz or 2.MHz Oscillator Ramp Generator MIC2292/93 Block Diagram Functional Description The MIC2292/93 is a constant frequency, PWM current mode boost regulator. The block diagram is shown above. The MIC2292/93 is composed of an oscillator, slope compensation ramp generator, current amplifier, g m error amplifier, PWM generator, 5mA bipolar output transistor, and Schottky rectifier diode. The oscillator generates a 1.6MHz clock for the MIC2292 and a 2.MHz clock for the MIC2293. The clocks' two functions are to trigger the PWM generator that turns on the output transistor and to reset the slope compensation 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 compensation 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 95m 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, maintaining the constant frequency current-mode PWM control. The LED is set by the feedback resistor: I LED = 95mv 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. July 29 6 M9999-789

Dimming Control There are two techniques for dimming control. One is PWM dimming and the other is continuous dimming. 1. PWM dimming control is implemented by applying a PWM signal on EN pin as shown in Figure 1. The MIC2292/93 is turned on and off by the PWM signal. With this method, the LEDs operate with either zero or full current. The average LED current is increased proportionally to the duty-cycle of the PWM signal. This technique has high-efficiency because the IC and the LEDs consume no current during the off cycle of the PWM signal. Typical frequency should be between 1Hz and 1kHz. 2. Continuous dimming control is implemented by applying a DC control voltage to the FB pin of the MIC2292/93 through a series resistor as shown in Figure 2. The LED current is decreased proportionally with the amplitude of the control voltage. The LED intensity (current) can be dynamically varied applying a DC voltage to the FB pin. The DC voltage can come from a DAC signal or a filtered PWM signal. The advantage of this approach is that a high frequency PWM signal (>1kHz) can be used to control LED intensity. Open-Circuit Protection If the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit, or in case an LED fails open, the sense resistor will pull the FB pin to ground. This will cause the MIC2292/93 to switch with a high duty-cycle resulting in output overvoltage. This may cause the SW pin voltage to exceed its maximum voltage rating, possibly damaging the IC and the external components. To ensure the highest level of protection, the MIC2292/93 has two product options in the 8-lead MLF with overvoltage protection, OP. The extra pins of the 8-leadMLF package allow the use of a dedicated OP monitor with options for 15 or 34 (see Figure 3). The reason for the two OP levels is to let users choose the suitable level of OP for their application. For example, a 4-LED application would typically see an output voltage of no more than 12, so a 15 OP option would offer a suitable level of protection. This allows the user to select the output diode and capacitor with the lowest voltage ratings, and accordingly, smallest size and lowest cost. The OP will clamp the output voltage to within the specified limits. SW EN FB SW PWM EN FB Figure 1. PWM Dimming Method Figure 3. MLF Package OP Circuit Start-Up and Inrush Current During start-up, inrush current of approximately double the nominal current flows to set up the inductor current and the voltage on the output capacitor. If the inrush current needs to be limited, a soft-start circuit similar to Figure 4 could be implemented. The soft-start capacitor, C ss, provides overdrive to the FB pin at start-up, resulting in gradual increase of switch duty cycle and limited inrush current.
