Product details
Overview
MIC2287YD5-TR from Micrel is a 1.2MHz PWM white LED driver IC optimized for constant-current backlighting in portable devices. It operates from 2.5V to 10V input, delivers up to 34V output, supports >500mA switch current, and uses a 95mV feedback reference to minimize power loss in the current-sense resistor-enabling efficient driving of up to 8-series white LEDs in cell phones and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2287YD5-TR datasheet, MIC2287YD5-TR pinout, MIC2287YD5-TR application, or MIC2287YD5-TR equivalent, key selection considerations include its Thin SOT-23-5 lead-free package, OVP implementation via external Zener (not integrated), shutdown current <1µA, and compatibility with PWM or analog dimming control schemes.
Technical Context
The MIC2287YD5-TR implements a constant-frequency, current-mode PWM boost regulator architecture with an internal 500mA bipolar transistor switch and 1.2MHz oscillator. Its gm error amplifier compares the FB pin voltage against a 95mV reference to regulate LED current, while slope compensation ensures stable operation across duty cycles.
It features under-voltage lockout (UVLO) at 2.1V typical, over-temperature shutdown at 150°C with 10°C hysteresis, and <1% line/load regulation. The device lacks an integrated OVP pin-unlike MLF-packaged variants-requiring external Zener clamping between SW and FB for open-circuit protection.
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 regulated 3.3V/5V rails without external LDO. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz (±12.5%) - enables use of small 10µH inductors and 0.22µF ceramic output capacitors to reduce PCB area. |
| Feedback Voltage | 95mV ±5% - lowers I²R loss in sense resistor, improving efficiency and thermal performance at high LED currents. |
| Switch Current Limit | 750mA typical - sustains >500mA continuous switch current needed for 6–8 white LEDs at 20mA each. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1–1µA - minimizes battery drain during display-off states in portable applications. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive infotainment displays and industrial handhelds with extended thermal margins. |
| Oscillator Accuracy | ±12.5% over temp - ensures predictable EMI profile and consistent external component sizing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Thin SOT-23-5, lead-free, 1.3mm height, exposed pad not electrically connected (no thermal slug).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch node | Collector of internal bipolar transistor; connects to inductor and output diode anode - carries high dI/dt switching current. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground return | Common reference for control circuitry and power path; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (FB) | Feedback input | Senses LED current via external resistor to ground; 95mV reference sets ILED = 95mV/RFB. |
| 4 (EN) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; drives internal bias circuits on/off - used for PWM dimming or system-level power sequencing. |
| 5 (VIN) | Supply input | Powers internal regulators and gate drive; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-frequency PWM control | 1.2MHz operation enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI filtering without frequency sweeping artifacts. |
| Low-feedback reference | 95mV reference reduces sense-resistor power dissipation by ~8× versus 1V references, critical for thermal-limited handheld designs. |
| UVLO with hysteresis | 2.1V turn-on / 1.95V turn-off threshold prevents oscillation near battery depletion in Li-ion systems. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | 150°C trip with 10°C hysteresis avoids latch-up during transient overloads and ensures self-recovery after cooling. |
| High-efficiency current mode | Typical 82% efficiency at 3.6V input driving 6-series LEDs - achieved via low VCE(sat) (450mV @ 500mA) and minimized quiescent current. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3407MMX/NOPB | 1.6MHz switching frequency; 200mA max switch current; integrated MOSFET; no OVP pin. | Lower output capability limits to ≤4-series LEDs at 20mA; better suited for ultra-compact wearables than high-brightness displays. | Select when board space is more constrained than LED count, and 34V output is unnecessary. |
| MAX1910EUT+T | 1.2MHz operation; 300mA switch current; 1.25V feedback reference; integrated soft-start. | Higher 1.25V FB voltage increases sense-resistor loss; limited to ≤5-series LEDs; no thermal shutdown. | Choose only if existing design uses 1.25V reference resistors and thermal margin is guaranteed externally. |
Compared with LM3407MMX/NOPB and MAX1910EUT+T, the MIC2287YD5-TR delivers higher switch current (750mA vs. 200/300mA) and lower feedback voltage (95mV vs. N/A/1.25V), enabling brighter, more efficient multi-LED strings in space-constrained portable designs - though it requires external OVP protection unlike some newer alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of white LEDs the MIC2287YD5-TR can drive in series?
The MIC2287YD5-TR supports up to 8 white LEDs in series, based on its 34V maximum output voltage and typical 3.2–3.6V forward voltage per LED. At 3.4V average VF, eight LEDs require 27.2V - well within the 34V limit. The actual count depends on LED VF tolerance, temperature drift, and input voltage headroom; design margin should be verified using worst-case VF and minimum VIN.
Does the MIC2287YD5-TR include built-in overvoltage protection (OVP)?
No, the MIC2287YD5-TR in Thin SOT-23-5 package does not include an integrated OVP pin or circuit. Unlike MLF-packaged variants (e.g., MIC2287-34YML), it requires external protection - typically a Zener diode from SW to FB - to clamp output voltage during LED open-circuit faults. This is explicitly stated in the datasheet's "Open-Circuit Protection" section and functional diagram notes.
How is LED current set on the MIC2287YD5-TR?
LED current is set by an external resistor (RFB) connected between the FB pin and GND. The MIC2287YD5-TR regulates the voltage at FB to 95mV ±5%, so ILED = 95mV / RFB. For example, a 4.75Ω resistor sets 20mA. The FB pin draws only –450nA, making RFB value highly accurate and insensitive to leakage errors.
Can the MIC2287YD5-TR be used with PWM dimming, and what frequency range is recommended?
Yes, the MIC2287YD5-TR supports PWM dimming via the EN pin. A logic-level PWM signal applied to EN turns the entire regulator on/off synchronously with the LED current. The datasheet recommends 100Hz to 10kHz for optimal human-eye perception and efficiency; frequencies below 100Hz cause visible flicker, while above 10kHz may increase switching losses without perceptible benefit.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MIC2287YD5-TR in its Thin SOT-23-5 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for the MIC2287YD5-TR in Thin SOT-23-5 package is 256°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This high value reflects the package's limited copper exposure and underscores the need for careful PCB layout - including generous GND copper pour and thermal vias - to maintain safe junction temperatures under 500mA switching loads.
