MIC2289
White LED Driver Internal Schottky
Diode and OVP
General Description
The MIC2289 is a PWM (pulse width modulated), boost-
switching regulator that is optimized for constant-current
white LED driver applications. The MIC2289 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 MIC2289 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 MIC2289 clamps the output voltage in case of open
LED conditions, protecting itself and the output capacitor.
The MIC2289 is available with three output OVP options of
15V, 24V, and 34V. The different OVP options allows the
use of the smallest possible output capacitor with the
appropriate voltage rating for a given application.
The MIC2289 is available in low profile 6-pin Thin SOT-23
and 8-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF
®
package options. The
MIC2289 has a junction temperature range of –40°C to
+125°C.

Notes:
Overtemperature
Threshold Shutdown
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.

MIC2289 Block Diagram
Functional Description
The MIC2289 is a constant frequency, PWM current
mode boost regulator. The block diagram is shown
above. The MIC2289 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 1.2MHz 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 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 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
LED
=
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.
