MIC3223
High Power Boost LED Driver with
Integrated FET
General Description
The MIC3223 is a constant current boost LED driver
capable of driving a series string of high power LEDs. The
MIC3223 can be used in general lighting, bulb replacement,
garden pathway lighting and other solid state illumination
applications.
The MIC3223 is a peak current mode control PWM boost
regulator and the 4.5V and 20V operating input voltage
range allows multiple applications from a 5V or a 12V bus.
The MIC3223 implements a fixed internal 1MHz switching
frequency to allow for a reduction in the design footprint
size. Power consumption has been minimized through the
implementation of a 200mV feedback voltage that provides
an accuracy of ±5%. The MIC3223 can be dimmed through
the use of a PWM signal and features an enable pin for a
low power shutdown state.
The MIC3223 is a very robust LED driver and offers the
following protection features: over voltage protection (OVP),
thermal shutdown, switch current limiting and under voltage
lockout (UVLO).
The MIC3223 is offered in a low profile exposed pad 16-pin
TSSOP package.

Pin Function
Enable (Input): Logic high enables and logic low disables operation.
Soft Start (Input resistance of 30k). Connect a capacitor to GND for soft-start. Clamp the
pin to a known voltage to control the internal reference voltage and hence the output
current.
Compensation Pin (Input): Add external R and C-to-GND to stabilize the converter.
Negative Input to Error Amp
Connect to the centre tap of an external resistor divider, the top of which is tied to Vout
and bottom-to-ground.
Power Ground
Switch Node (Input): Internal NMOS switch Drain Pin
Input Supply
For 4.5V < VIN < 6V, connect DRVVDD to VIN. DRVVDD is the input voltage supply for
the converter’s internal power FET gate driver. For VIN > 6V, connect this pin to VDD.
For 4.5V < VIN < 6V, this pin becomes the input voltage supply for the converter’s internal
circuit. For VIN > 6V, this pin is an output of the internal 5.5V regulator that supplies
internal circuits. User must add 10µF decoupling capacitor from VDD-to-AGND.
PWM input to control LED dimming.
Output driver to drive external FET for LED dimming.
