MIC2297
40V PWM Boost Regulator
White LED Driver
General Description
Features
The MIC2297 is a 600KHz PWM boost-switching regulator
that is optimized for driving 6-10 series white LEDs. With
its internal 40V switch and a guaranteed switch current of
1.2A, the MIC2297 easily drives a string of 10 white LEDs
in series at 20mA, ensuring a high level of brightness and
eliminating several ballast resistors.
• 2.5V to 10V input voltage range
• Output voltage up to 40V
• 1.2A switch current
• 600KHz PWM operation
• Trimmed 200mV feedback voltage
• Output over voltage protection (fixed or adjustable)
• PWM Brightness Control
• DAC Brightness Control
• <1% line regulation
The MIC2297 implements constant frequency 600KHz
PWM control. The high frequency PWM operation saves
board space by reducing external component sizes. The
added benefit of the constant frequency PWM operation is
much lower noise and input ripple injected back to the
battery source than with variable frequency topologies.
• 1µA shutdown current
• Over temperature protection
• UVLO
To optimize efficiency, the feedback voltage is set to
200mV. This reduced voltage reduces the power
dissipation in the current set resistor, and allows the lowest
total output voltage, hence minimal current draw from the
battery.
• 10-pin 2.5mm x 2.5mm MLF® package
• –40oC to +125oC junction temperature range
Applications
The MIC2297 is available with output over-voltage
protection that protects the IC and external components in
case of open LED conditions.
• PDAs
• GPS systems
• Smart phones
• Mini PCs
• Digital cameras
• IP phones
The MIC2297 is available in low profile small size 10-pin
2.5mm x 2.5mm MLF® package. The MIC2297 has a
junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
• LED flashlights
