Product details
Overview
MIC2225-4KYMT TR from Microchip Technology is a 4-channel, 300mA per channel LED driver IC with PWM dimming control, 2.7–5.5V input voltage range, and internal 1.25V reference; used in backlighting for small-format LCD displays in portable medical devices and industrial HMIs.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2225-4KYMT TR datasheet, MIC2225-4KYMT TR pinout, MIC2225-4KYMT TR application, or MIC2225-4KYMT TR equivalent, key selection considerations include channel count, integrated current regulation accuracy (±3%), thermal shutdown threshold (150°C), and support for external PWM frequency up to 25kHz.
Technical Context
The MIC2225-4KYMT TR integrates four independent constant-current sinks with matched output current paths and shared enable/dimming control logic. Each channel delivers regulated 300mA with ±3% typical matching across temperature and supply voltage.
It operates without external inductors or flyback diodes, using linear regulation architecture optimized for low-noise, low-EMI backlight applications where switching noise must be avoided near sensitive analog or RF circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Channels | 4 independent constant-current sinks - enables simultaneous drive of 4 LED strings without external current-setting resistors per channel |
| Max Output Current/Channel | 300mA - supports medium-brightness white LEDs in 2–5 inch LCD panels |
| Current Matching | ±3% - ensures uniform luminance across multi-string backlight arrays |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, or 3.3V/5V system rails |
| PWM Dimming Frequency | Up to 25kHz - eliminates audible noise while maintaining full 100:1 dimming ratio |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C - protects device during sustained high-current operation in enclosed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin 3mm × 3mm TQFN with exposed thermal pad (YMT suffix). RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Supplies all four channels; bypass capacitor required between VIN and GND for stability |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for power, logic, and LED cathode connections |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high digital control; pulls all channels on/off simultaneously |
| PWM | PWM dimming input | Accepts 0–5V logic-level signal; duty cycle directly controls LED brightness |
| LED1–LED4 | Current sink outputs | Each connects to cathode of dedicated LED string; anodes tied to common supply rail |
| FB | Feedback reference | Internal 1.25V reference; not user-accessible - no external resistor divider needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 4-channel current regulation | Eliminates need for 4 separate current-setting resistors and associated layout area |
| ±3% channel-to-channel current matching | Reduces luminance variation across display edges and corners without calibration |
| 25kHz max PWM dimming frequency | Enables flicker-free dimming above human auditory range and avoids interference with touch controller sampling |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-recovery | Prevents permanent damage during transient overloads; resumes operation once die cools below 140°C |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS31FL3728-QFLS4-TR | 8-channel, I²C-controlled, ±5% current accuracy, requires external clock | Supports dynamic per-channel brightness/color control via register writes | Choose when programmable zoning or color mixing is required; adds firmware overhead |
| TPS61165DRVR | Single-channel, boost-based, 40V output capability, ±4% accuracy | Designed for high-Vf LED strings (e.g., 3+ white LEDs in series) | Choose for higher-voltage LED configurations where linear dropout is insufficient |
Compared with IS31FL3728-QFLS4-TR and TPS61165DRVR, the MIC2225-4KYMT TR offers simpler implementation for fixed-ratio, low-EMI, 4-string backlighting with tighter current matching and no communication interface overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable LED forward voltage for each channel of the MIC2225-4KYMT TR?
The MIC2225-4KYMT TR does not regulate LED forward voltage; it regulates current into the LED cathode. The maximum forward voltage per string is limited by the dropout voltage: VLED(max) = VIN − VDO, where VDO is 0.35V at 300mA. At 5.5V input, up to 5.15V total Vf is supported - sufficient for two standard white LEDs in series.
Does the MIC2225-4KYMT TR require external current-setting resistors?
No, the MIC2225-4KYMT TR uses internal precision current references and does not require external current-setting resistors. Each channel delivers a nominal 300mA with ±3% matching, eliminating resistor tolerance errors and board space for four discrete components.
Can the MIC2225-4KYMT TR operate from a 3.3V supply rail?
Yes, the MIC2225-4KYMT TR supports input voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V. At 3.3V input, it can drive LED strings with combined forward voltage up to approximately 2.95V (3.3V − 0.35V dropout), suitable for single white LEDs or low-Vf red/green/yellow strings.
What thermal management is recommended for the MIC2225-4KYMT TR in continuous 300mA operation?
For continuous 300mA per channel (1.2W total dissipation), the MIC2225-4KYMT TR requires a minimum 100mm² copper pour connected to the exposed thermal pad. A 2-layer PCB with internal ground plane and thermal vias (≥6×0.3mm) is recommended to maintain junction temperature below 125°C at 60°C ambient.
Is the MIC2225-4KYMT TR compatible with PWM signals generated by an MCU's timer peripheral?
Yes, the MIC2225-4KYMT TR accepts standard 0–5V logic-level PWM inputs with frequencies up to 25kHz. It is fully compatible with common MCU timer outputs (e.g., STM32, PIC, or NXP Kinetis) without level-shifting or conditioning circuitry.
