MIC3287
1.2MHz PWM White LED Driver with OVP in
Thin SOT-23 and 2mm x 2mm MFL
®
General Description
The MIC3287 is a 1.2MHz pulse width modulated (PWM)
step-up switching regulator that is optimized for constant cur-
rent white LED driving applications. With a switch current of
over 350mA, the MIC3287-24 drives a string of up to 4 white
LEDs in series, ensuring uniform brightness and eliminating
several ballast resistors.
The MIC3287 implements a constant frequency 1.2MHz PWM
current-mode control scheme. The high frequency PWM op-
eration saves board space by reducing external component
sizes. The added benefit of the constant frequency PWM
control scheme as opposed to variable frequency control
schemes is much lower noise and input ripple injected back
to the battery source. To optimize efficiency, the feedback
voltage is set to only 250mV. The MIC3287 is also available
with a maximum 24V over-voltage protection.
The MIC3287 is available in low profile Thin SOT-23 5-pin
and Thin SOT-23 6-pin packages. The MIC3287 has a junc-
tion temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

Hysteresis
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.
For options with OVP.
5.
Using 4 layer PCB.
6.
Specification for packaged product only.

MIC3287 Block Diagram
Functional Description
The MIC3287 is a constant frequency pulse width modulated
(PWM) current-mode step-up regulator. The block diagram
is shown above. The MIC3287 is composed of an oscillator,
slope compensation ramp generator, current amplifier, g
m
er-
ror amplifier, PWM generator, and a 350mA minimum 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 com-
pensation 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 compensa-
tion 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 internal 250mV 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, thus main-
taining the constant frequency current-mode PWM control.
The LED current is set by the feedback resistor:
250mV
I
LED
=
R
FB
The enable pin shuts down the internal power bipolar
transistor and disables the control circuitry to reduce input
current-to-leakage levels. Enable pin input current is zero
at zero volts.
