MIC2289C
White LED Driver Internal Schottky
Diode and OVP
General Description
The MIC2289C is a PWM (pulse width modulated), boost-
switching regulator that is optimized for constant-current
white LED driver applications. The MIC2289C features an
internal Schottky diode and three levels of output
overvoltage protection providing a small size and efficient
DC/DC solution that requires only four external
components.
To optimize efficiency, the feedback voltage is set to only
95mV. This reduces power dissipation in the current set
resistor and allows the lowest total output voltage, hence
minimal current draw from the battery.
The MIC2289C implements a constant frequency 1.2MHz
PWM control scheme. The high frequency, PWM operation
saves board space by reducing external component sizes.
The added benefit of the constant frequency PWM scheme
in caparison to variable frequency is much lower noise and
input ripple injected to the input power source.
The MIC2289C clamps the output voltage in case of open
LED conditions, protecting itself and the output capacitor.
The MIC2289C is available with an output OVP option of
34V.
The MIC2289C is available in low profile 6-pin Thin SOT-
23 package. The MIC2289C has 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. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model.

MIC2289C Block Diagram
Functional Description
The MIC2289C is a constant frequency, PWM current
mode boost regulator. The block diagram is shown
above. The MIC2289C is composed of an oscillator,
slope compensation ramp generator, current amplifier,
gm error amplifier, PWM generator, 500mA bipolar
output transistor, and Schottky rectifier diode. 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
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 gm 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 gm 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,
maintaining the constant frequency current-mode PWM
control. The LED is set by the feedback resistor:
I

=
95mW
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.
