MIC2292/93
High Frequency PWM White LED Drivers with
Internal Schottky Diode and OVP
General Description
The MIC2292 and MIC2293 are high frequency, Pulse Width
Modulator (PWM) boost regulators optimized for constant-
current, 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 2.5V to 10V 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
–40°C to +125°C.

Notes:
1. 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.
2. This device is not guaranteed to operate beyond its specified operating ratings.
3. Devices are inherently ESD sensitive. Handling precautions required. Human body model.
4. Specification for packaged product only.
6. Guaranteed by design.

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, 500mA bipolar output transistor, and Schottky
rectifier diode. The oscillator generates a 1.6MHz clock for the
MIC2292 and a 2.0MHz 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 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, maintain-
ing the constant frequency current-mode PWM control. The
LED is set by the feedback resistor:
95mv
I

=
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.
