Product details
Overview
MIC2287-24YML-TR from Micrel is a 1.2MHz PWM white LED driver IC optimized for constant-current backlighting of 3–6 series white LEDs, featuring 24V overvoltage protection (OVP), 95mV feedback voltage, and 500mA switch current in an 8-lead 2mm × 2mm MLF™ package. It operates from 2.5V to 10V input and delivers up to 34V output, enabling uniform brightness in compact portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2287-24YML-TR datasheet, MIC2287-24YML-TR pinout, MIC2287-24YML-TR application, or MIC2287-24YML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include OVP threshold accuracy (21–24V), thermal shutdown at 150°C, <1µA shutdown current, 1.2MHz fixed-frequency operation for low EMI, and compatibility with standard 2mm × 2mm MLF™ land patterns.
Technical Context
The MIC2287-24YML-TR implements constant-frequency current-mode PWM control using an internal 1.2MHz oscillator, slope-compensated current amplifier, and gm error amplifier referenced to 95mV. Its bipolar output transistor supports ≥500mA switch current with 450mV saturation voltage at 0.5A.
OVP functionality is implemented via dedicated OVP pin (Pin 1) tied to output voltage, triggering shutdown when sensed voltage exceeds 21–24V - a feature exclusive to the 8-lead MLF™ package. The IC integrates UVLO (2.1V typical), overtemperature shutdown (150°C), and <1% line/load regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 10V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH systems without external LDO. |
| OVP Threshold | 21V to 24V - clamps output during open-circuit LED failure, protecting SW node and external diode/capacitor. |
| Feedback Voltage | 95mV ±5% - minimizes power loss in current-sense resistor and enables precise ILED = 95mV/RFB. |
| Switch Current Limit | 750mA typical - ensures robust drive for 6-series LED strings at full brightness under worst-case VIN and temperature. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1µA - preserves battery life in standby mode for portable backlight applications. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 1.05–1.35MHz - enables use of small 10µH inductors and 0.22µF ceramic output capacitors, reducing PCB area by >40% vs. 500kHz designs. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive display modules and industrial handhelds with extended thermal margins. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead 2mm × 2mm MLF™ (exposed pad), lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OVP) | Overvoltage sense input | Direct connection to boost output node; triggers shutdown if voltage exceeds 21–24V threshold. |
| 2 (GND) | Analog ground | Reference for FB and OVP comparators; must be routed separately from PGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (FB) | Current-sense feedback input | Connects to cathode of LED string; sets LED current via external resistor: ILED = 95mV/RFB. |
| 4 (EN) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables switching; logic-low (<0.4V) disables regulator and reduces IIN to ≤1µA. |
| 5 (VIN) | Power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry (bias, oscillator, gate drive); accepts 2.5–10V with UVLO at 2.1V. |
| 6 (SW) | Switch node output | Drives external Schottky diode and inductor; rated for –0.3V to 34V, 2A peak transient. |
| 7 (PGND) | Power ground | Return path for switch current; connects to exposed pad for thermal dissipation (θJA = 93°C/W). |
| 8 (NC) | No connect | No internal die connection; must remain unconnected or grounded per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 24V OVP with dedicated pin | Enables fail-safe open-circuit protection without external zener, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in 6-LED designs. |
| 95mV feedback reference | Lowers sense-resistor power dissipation by 75% vs. 200mV references, allowing 0402/0603 resistors and improving thermal margin. |
| 1.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM | Permits use of 10µH inductors and 0.22µF ceramic capacitors, cutting solution size by >50% versus 500kHz alternatives. |
| Integrated bipolar switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET and gate driver, simplifying design and reducing footprint in space-constrained mobile PCBs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16832ATA+T | Higher 36V OVP option; requires external MOSFET; 600kHz switching frequency. | Better suited for 8–10 LED strings; larger inductor/capacitor requirements increase board area. | Select when higher OVP margin or external FET flexibility is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and control architecture. |
| TPS61165DRVR | Integrated 40V MOSFET; 1.2MHz switching; no dedicated OVP pin - relies on FB-based clamping. | Lacks hardware OVP; requires external resistor divider for overvoltage detection, adding component count and tolerance sensitivity. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where OVP is managed externally; verify FB-clamp stability under open-circuit conditions. |
Compared with MAX16832ATA+T and TPS61165DRVR, the MIC2287-24YML-TR provides hardware-enforced 24V OVP in a minimal 2mm × 2mm footprint with no external FET or divider network, making it optimal for compact, fault-tolerant 3–6 LED backlighting where layout area and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold for MIC2287-24YML-TR?
The MIC2287-24YML-TR has a guaranteed OVP threshold of 21V to 24V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This range is factory-trimmed and applies across the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. The OVP function activates when the voltage applied to the OVP pin exceeds this threshold, forcing the IC into shutdown to protect the SW node and external components.
Can MIC2287-24YML-TR drive 8 white LEDs in series?
No - the MIC2287-24YML-TR is rated for up to 6-series white LEDs. While the IC's maximum output voltage is 34V, its 24V OVP threshold limits safe operation to LED strings with forward voltage ≤21V (e.g., 6×3.5V = 21V). Driving 8 LEDs (typically ≥28V) would exceed the OVP clamp and risk uncontrolled operation; use MIC2287-34YML-TR instead for 7–8 LED strings.
Does MIC2287-24YML-TR support analog dimming?
Yes - MIC2287-24YML-TR supports continuous (analog) dimming by applying a DC voltage to the FB pin through a series resistor. This method dynamically adjusts LED current without PWM artifacts, enabling high-frequency (>10kHz) intensity control ideal for noise-sensitive audio applications. The FB pin bias current is –450nA, minimizing loading error.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of MIC2287-24YML-TR in its MLF™ package?
The MIC2287-24YML-TR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 93°C/W when mounted on a standard 4-layer PCB with recommended land pattern and exposed pad soldered to a 1-in² copper pour. This value assumes 2oz copper, thermal vias under the EP pad, and no additional heatsinking - sufficient for continuous 20mA LED current at +85°C ambient.
Is MIC2287-24YML-TR pin-compatible with other MIC2287 variants in the MLF™ package?
Yes - all MIC2287-xBML and MIC2287-xYML variants share identical 8-pin MLF™ pinout, including VIN, EN, SW, FB, GND, OVP, PGND, and NC. The only functional difference is the factory-set OVP threshold (15V, 24V, or 34V), making them electrically interchangeable in layouts designed for the 2mm × 2mm MLF™ footprint.
