General Description
The MIC2845A is a high efficiency White LED (WLED)
driver designed to drive up to six LEDs, greatly extending
battery life for portable display backlighting, keypad
backlighting, and camera flash in mobile devices. The
MIC2845A provides the highest possible efficiency as this
architecture has no switching losses present in traditional
charge pumps or inductive boost circuits. The MIC2845A
provides six linear drivers channels which maintain
constant current for up to six LEDs. It features a typical
dropout of 40mV at 20mA. This allows the LEDs to be
driven directly from the battery eliminating switching
noise/losses present with the use of boost circuitry.
The MIC2845A features Dynamic Average Matching™
(DAM™) which is specifically designed to provide optimum
matching across all WLEDs. The six channels are
matched better than ±1.5% typical, ensuring uniform
display illumination under all conditions. The brightness is
controlled through an Ultra Fast PWM™ Control interface
operating down to less than 1% duty cycle.
The MIC2845A also features two independently enabled
low quiescent current LDOs. Each LDO offers ±3%
accuracy from the nominal voltage over temperature, low
dropout voltage (150mV @ 150mA), and low ground
current under all load conditions (typically 35µA). Both
LDOs can be disabled to draw virtually no current.
The MIC2845A is available in the 14-pin 2.5mm x 2.5mm
Thin MLF
®
leadless package with a junction temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C.

Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. The maximum allowable power dissipation of any T

. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown (150°C).
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human Body Model (HBM), 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
5. As determined by average current of all channels in use and all channels loaded.
6. The current through each channel meets the stated limits from the average current of all channels.
7. Dropout voltage is defined as the input-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at V
