MIC2287 1.2MHz PWM White LED Driver with OVP in 2mm 2mm MLF and Thin SOT-23 General Description The MIC2287 is a 1.2MHz pulse width modulated (PWM), boost-switching regulator that is optimized for constantcurrent, white LED driver applications. With a maximum output voltage of 34V and a switch current of over 500mA, the MIC2287 easily drives a string of up to 8 white LEDs in series, ensuring uniform brightness and eliminating several ballast resistors. The MIC2287 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 as opposed to variable frequency topologies is much lower noise and input ripple injected back to the battery source. To optimize efficiency, the feedback voltage is set to only 95mV. This reduces the power dissipation in the current set resistor and allows the lowest total output voltage, hence minimal current draw from the battery. The MIC2287 is available with 3 levels of overvoltage protection, 15V, 24V, and 34V. This allows designers to choose the smallest possible external components with the appropriate voltage ratings for their applications. The MIC2287 is available in low profile Thin SOT-23 5-lead and an 8-lead 2mm 2mm MLF package options. The MIC2287 has a junction temperature range of 40 C to +125 C. All support documentation can be found on Micrel s web site at www.micrel.com.

Functional Diagram OVP* OVP* V REF 95mV g m PWM Generator S 1.2MHz Oscillator Ramp Generator *OVP available on MLF TM package option only MIC2287 Block Diagram Functional Description The MIC2287 is a constant frequency, PWM current mode boost regulator. The block diagram is shown above. The MIC2287 is composed of an oscillator, slope compensation ramp generator, current amplifier, g m error amplifier, PWM generator, and a 500mA bipolar output transistor. 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 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 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, maintaining the constant frequency current-mode PWM control. The LED is set by the feedback resistor: I LED = 95mv R 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 2005 5 M9999-070105

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 pin as shown in Figure 1. The MIC2287 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 PWM frequency should be between 100Hz and 10kHz. 2. Continuous dimming control is implemented by applying a DC control voltage to the pin of the MIC2287 through a series resistor as shown in Figure 2. The LED intensity (current) can be dynamically varied applying a DC voltage to the pin. The DC voltage can come from a DAC signal, or a filtered PWM signal. The advantage of this approach is a high frequency PWM signal (>10kHz) that can be used to control LED intensity. options for 15V, 24V, or 34V (see Figure 3). The reason for the three OVP levels is to let users choose the suitable level of OVP for their application. For example, a 3-LED application would typically see an output voltage of no more than 12V, so a 15V OVP option would offer a suitable level of protection. This allows the user to select the output diode and capacitor with the lowest voltage ratings, as well as smallest size and lowest cost. The OVP will clamp the output voltage to within the specified limits. For the Thin SOT-23-5 package, an OVP pin is not available. An external zener diode can be connected from the output of the converter to pin as shown in Figure 4. to implement similar protection. OVP Figure 3. MLF Package OVP Circuit PWM 5.11k Figure 1. PWM Dimming Method 5.11k 49.9k DC Equivalent Figure 2. Continuous Dimming Open-Circuit Protection If the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit, or in case an LED fails open, the sense resistor will pull the pin to ground. This will cause the MIC2287 to switch with a high duty-cycle, resulting in output overvoltage. This may cause the pin voltage to exceed its maximum voltage rating, possibly damaging the IC and the external components. To ensure the highest level of protection, the MIC2287 has 3 product options in the 8-lead 2mm 2mm MLF with overvoltage protection (OVP). The extra pins of the 8-lead 2mm 2mm MLF package allow a dedicated OVP monitor with Figure 4. Thin SOT-23 Package OVP 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 5 could be implemented. The soft-start capacitor, C SS, provides overdrive to the pin at start-up, resulting in gradual increase of switch duty cycle and limited inrush current. C SS 2200pF R 10k Figure 5.
