MIC2297
40V PWM Boost Regulator
White LED Driver
General Description
The MIC2297 is a 600KHz PWM boost-switching regulator
that is optimized for driving 6-10 series white LEDs. With
its internal 40V switch and a guaranteed switch current of
1.2A, the MIC2297 easily drives a string of 10 white LEDs
in series at 20mA, ensuring a high level of brightness and
eliminating several ballast resistors.
The MIC2297 implements constant frequency 600KHz
PWM control. The high frequency PWM operation saves
board space by reducing external component sizes. The
added benefit of the constant frequency PWM operation is
much lower noise and input ripple injected back to the
battery source than with variable frequency topologies.
To optimize efficiency, the feedback voltage is set to
200mV. This reduced voltage reduces the power
dissipation in the current set resistor, and allows the lowest
total output voltage, hence minimal current draw from the
battery.
The MIC2297 is available with output over-voltage
protection that protects the IC and external components in
case of open LED conditions.
The MIC2297 is available in low profile small size 10-pin
2.5mm x 2.5mm MLF
®
package. The MIC2297 has a
junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

Pin Function
Ground (Return).
Over Voltage Protection (Input): Connect to the output to
clamp the maximum output voltage. A resistor divider from
this pin to ground could be used to raise the OVP level of
the 15V OVP option.
Supply (Input): Input voltage.
Enable (Input): Logic high enables regulator. Logic low shuts
down regulator.
Compensation Pin.
Analog Ground.
Brightness Control (Input): Either an analog (DAC) or filtered
PWM signal can be used. The gain equation is: VFB =
VBRT / 5. This pin should be left open if the brightness
function is not used. In that case, the FB will be set to its
default value of 200mV.
Reference Voltage (Output): This node is equal to the
voltage on the FB pin. A capacitor from REF to ground
should be used to filter the BRT voltage if PWM dimming is
implemented. A capacitor from REF to ground can also be
used to implement a soft-start function. This pin can be left
open if not used.
Feedback (Input): Output voltage sense node. Default value
is 200mV. Connect the cathode of the LED chain to this pin.
Connect current set resistor from this pin to ground.
Switch Node (Output): Internal power BIPOLAR collector.
Ground (Return): Backside pad.

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.
This device is not guaranteed to operate beyond its specified operating rating.
IC devices are inherently ESD sensitive. Handling precautions required. Human body model.
