MIC3230/1/2
Constant Current Boost Controller for
Driving High Power LEDs
General Description
The MIC3230/1/2 are constant current boost switching
controllers specifically designed to power one or more
strings of high power LEDs. The MIC3230/1/2 have an
input voltage range from 6V to 45V and are ideal for a
variety of solid state lighting applications.
The MIC3230/1/2 utilizes an external power device which
offers a cost conscious solution for high power LED
applications. The powerful drive circuitry can deliver up to
70W to the LED system. Power consumption has been
minimized through the implementation of a 250mV
feedback voltage reference providing an accuracy of ±3%.
The MIC323x family is dimmable via a pulse width
modulated (PWM) input signal and also features an enable
pin for low power shutdown.
Multiple MIC3230 ICs can be synchronized to a common
operating frequency. The clocks of these synchronized
devices can be used together in order to help reduce noise
and errors in a system.
An external resistor sets the adjustable switching
frequency of the MIC3230/1. The switching frequency can
be between 100kHz and1MHz. Setting the switching
frequency provides the mechanism by which a design can
be optimized for efficiency (performance) and size of the
external components (cost). The MIC323x family of LED
drivers also offer the following protection features: Over
voltage protection (OVP), thermal shutdown and under-
voltage lock-out (UVLO).
The MIC3231 offers a dither feature to assist in the
reduction of EMI. This is particularly useful in sensitive EMI
applications, and provides for a reduction or emissions by
approximately 10dB.
The MIC3232 is a 400kHz fixed frequency device offered
in a small 10-pin MSOP package. The MIC3230/1 are
offered in both the EPAD 16-pin TSSOP package and the
12-pin 3mm × 3mm MLF
®
package.

Pin Function
No Connect.
Input Voltage (power) 6V to 45V.
Enable Control (Input). Logic High (≥1.5V) enables the
regulator. Logic Low (≤0.4V) shuts down the regulator.
Connect a 100kΩ resistor from EN to VIN.
PWM Dimming Input. Logic Low will disable the brightness
control of the LED drivers.
Compensation (output): for external compensation.
Feedback (input).
Frequency Select (input). Connected to a Resistor to
determine the operating frequency.
Analog Ground.
No Connect.
Sync (output). Connect to another MIC3230 to synchronize
multiple converters.
Current Sense (input). Connected to external current sense
resistor which in turn is connected to the source of the external
FET as well as an external slope compensation resistor.
OVP divider connection (output). Connect the top of the
divider string to the output. If the load is disconnected, the
output voltage will rise until OVP reaches 1.25V and then will
regulate around this point.
Power Ground.
Drive Output: connect to the gate of external FET (output).
VDD Filter for internal power rail. Do not connect an external
load to this pin. Connect 10µF to GND.
No Connect.
Connect to AGND.
