Product details
Overview
MIC2287BD5-TR from Micrel is a 1.2MHz PWM white LED driver IC optimized for constant-current backlighting in portable devices. It features a 2.5V–10V input range, 34V max output voltage, >500mA switch current, 95mV feedback reference, and operates in Thin SOT-23-5 package. It drives up to 3-series white LEDs in cell phones and PDAs with uniform brightness and minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2287BD5-TR datasheet, MIC2287BD5-TR pinout, MIC2287BD5-TR application, or MIC2287BD5-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2MHz fixed-frequency boost topology, 95mV low-drop feedback for efficiency, OVP implementation via external Zener, shutdown current <1µA, and –40°C to +125°C junction temperature rating.
Technical Context
The MIC2287BD5-TR implements a constant-frequency, current-mode PWM boost regulator using an internal bipolar transistor switch and gm error amplifier. Its 1.2MHz oscillator enables compact external inductor (e.g., 10µH) and capacitor (e.g., 0.22µF) selection while minimizing input ripple and EMI.
It uses a 95mV feedback reference to set LED current via external resistor (ILED = 95mV/RFB), supports PWM dimming via EN pin, and includes UVLO (2.1V typ), over-temperature shutdown (150°C), and <1% line/load regulation - all within a 5-pin Thin SOT-23 package without integrated OVP pin.
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 inputs. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2 MHz (typ) - enables use of small 10µH inductors and 0.22µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Feedback Voltage | 95 mV (±5%) - minimizes power loss in current-sense resistor and improves battery runtime. |
| Switch Current Limit | 750 mA (min) - supports >500mA continuous switch current for driving 3-series white LEDs at 20mA. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA (typ) - ensures ultra-low quiescent drain during display-off states in portable systems. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin-adjacent backlight applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1910EUT+T | 2.5–5.5V input, 40V max output, 1.2MHz, 900mA switch current, 1.25V FB reference | Higher FB voltage increases sense resistor power loss; better suited for higher-output-voltage (>20V) LED strings | Select when driving ≥5-series LEDs or needing higher switch current headroom |
| TPS61160DRVR | 2.7–5.5V input, 28V max output, 1.2MHz, 400mA switch current, 200mV FB reference | Lower max output voltage and switch current; no OVP option; requires external Zener for open-circuit protection | Select for cost-sensitive designs with ≤4-series LEDs and tighter input voltage constraints |
Compared with MIC2287BD5-TR, MAX1910EUT+T offers higher switch current but less efficient 1.25V feedback, while TPS61160DRVR provides similar frequency and package but reduced output capability and no integrated thermal protection - making MIC2287BD5-TR optimal for 3-series LED backlighting with thermal robustness and ultra-low quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of white LEDs the MIC2287BD5-TR can drive in series?
The MIC2287BD5-TR supports up to 3-series white LEDs in standard configurations, based on its 34V maximum output voltage and typical forward voltage of ~3.2V per LED. Driving more than 3 LEDs requires verifying total VF sum stays below 34V under worst-case temperature and aging conditions. The MIC2287BD5-TR datasheet confirms 3-series operation in its typical application schematic and efficiency curves.
Does the MIC2287BD5-TR include built-in overvoltage protection (OVP)?
No, the MIC2287BD5-TR in Thin SOT-23-5 package does not include a dedicated OVP pin. OVP must be implemented externally using a Zener diode from the output to the FB pin, as shown in Figure 4 of the MIC2287BD5-TR datasheet. The 8-lead MLF™ variants (e.g., MIC2287-34BML) integrate OVP with selectable thresholds (15V/24V/34V), but MIC2287BD5-TR relies on discrete protection.
What is the recommended inductor value for a 3-series white LED application with MIC2287BD5-TR?
The MIC2287BD5-TR datasheet recommends a 10µH inductor for 3-series white LED operation, paired with a 0.22µF output capacitor and 1µF input capacitor. Example part numbers include Murata LQH43MN100K21 or TDK NLC453232T-100K. This value balances efficiency (>82% at 3.6V/20mA), peak switch current margin, and physical size in portable designs.
Can the MIC2287BD5-TR be used with PWM dimming, and what frequency range is supported?
Yes, the MIC2287BD5-TR supports PWM dimming via its EN pin, accepting external logic-level PWM signals from 100Hz to 10kHz. At frequencies above 1kHz, visible flicker is eliminated; the IC responds with fast turn-on/turn-off (<10µs), maintaining LED current accuracy across duty cycles. The MIC2287BD5-TR's <1µA shutdown current ensures minimal power loss during off periods.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MIC2287BD5-TR in its Thin SOT-23-5 package?
According to the MIC2287BD5-TR datasheet, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for the Thin SOT-23-5 package is 256°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. Effective thermal performance requires proper PCB copper pour connected to the exposed GND pad; adding 100mm² of 2oz copper can reduce θJA by ~30–40°C/W in real layouts.
