MIC2287
1.2MHz PWM White LED Driver with OVP in
2mm × 2mm MLF™ and Thin SOT-23
General Description
Features
The MIC2287 is a 1.2MHz pulse width modulated (PWM),
boost-switching regulator that is optimized for constant-
current, white LED driver applications. With a maximum
outputvoltageof34Vandaswitchcurrentofover500mA, the

ensuring uniform brightness and eliminating several ballast
resistors.
• 2.5V to 10V input voltage
• Output voltage up to 34V
• Over 500mA switch current
• 1.2 MHz PWM operation
• 95mV feedback voltage
• Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
• Options for 15V, 24V, and 34V OVP
• <1% line and load regulation
• <1µA shutdown current
• Over-temperature protection
• UVLO
• Low profile Thin SOT-23-5 package option
• 8-lead 2mm × 2mm MLF™ package option
• –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range
The MIC2287 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
as opposed to variable frequency topologies is much lower
noise and input ripple injected back to the battery source.
To optimize efficiency, the feedback voltage is set to only
95mV. This reduces the power dissipation in the current set
resistor and allows the lowest total output voltage, hence
minimal current draw from the battery.
Applications
• White LED driver for backlighting:
- Cell phones
The MIC2287 is available with 3 levels of overvoltage protec-
tion, 15V, 24V, and 34V. This allows designers to choose the
smallest possible external components with the appropriate
voltage ratings for their applications.
- PDAs
- GPS systems
- Digital cameras
- MP3 players
- IP phones
• Photo flash LED driver
• LED flashlights
• Constant current power supplies
The MIC2287 is available in low profile Thin SOT-23 5-lead
and an 8-lead 2mm × 2mm MLF™ package options. The
MIC2287 has a junction temperature range of –40°C to
+125°C.
