Product details
Overview
MIC2289-34BML-TR from Microchip Technology is a constant-frequency PWM boost switching regulator optimized for constant-current white LED driver applications. It operates from 2.5V to 10V input, delivers up to 34V output with internal Schottky diode, features 95 mV feedback voltage and 1.2 MHz switching frequency, and is used in backlighting for portable devices such as digital cameras and IP phones.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2289-34BML-TR datasheet, MIC2289-34BML-TR pinout, MIC2289-34BML-TR application, or MIC2289-34BML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include OVP level (34 V), thermal performance in DFN-8 package (θJA = 93°C/W), shutdown current (<1 μA), and compatibility with single-cell Li-ion input sources.
Technical Context
The MIC2289-34BML-TR implements current-mode PWM control with a fixed 1.2 MHz oscillator, slope-compensated ramp generator, and gm error amplifier referenced to 95 mV. Its bipolar output switch supports >500 mA peak current and integrates internal Schottky diode to reduce external component count.
OVP is hardwired to 34 V via the OUT pin and clamps output during open-LED fault conditions. The device uses separate analog ground (AGND) and power ground (PGND) pins in its DFN-8 package to minimize noise coupling and improve regulation stability under dynamic load steps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 10 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and multi-cell alkaline inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output OVP Threshold | 30–34 V - factory-set 34 V option enables safe driving of 7–8 series white LEDs (~3.2 V each) with margin. |
| Feedback Voltage | 95 mV ±5% - low reference reduces I²R loss in current-sense resistor and improves efficiency at high LED currents. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2 MHz typical - enables use of small 10 µH inductors and 0.22 µF ceramic output capacitors, saving PCB area. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA - minimizes battery drain in always-on portable systems during display-off or sleep states. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin ambient environments with full parameter guarantee. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | 93°C/W (θJA, DFN-8) - allows >350 mW power dissipation at TA = 85°C before reaching TJ = 125°C limit. |
Pinout & Package
The MIC2289-34BML-TR is supplied in an 8-pin 2 mm × 2 mm DFN package (ML suffix) with exposed thermal pad (EP). Pin numbering follows standard DFN top-view orientation with pin 1 marked by dot or delta.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Output & OVP monitor | Connects to output capacitor anode and LED string anode; internally monitors 34 V OVP threshold and clamps SW node during fault. |
| 2 (VIN) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.5–10 V DC; powers internal bias circuitry and gate drive; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input (VEN_H ≥ 1.5 V); pulls VIN current to <1 µA in shutdown; must not be left floating. |
| 4 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Return for FB, EN, and internal error amplifier; must be routed separately from PGND to avoid noise injection into feedback path. |
| 5 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; no electrical function; may be left unconnected or tied to AGND for mechanical stability. |
| 6 (SW) | Switch node | Collector of internal bipolar transistor; connects to inductor and cathode of internal Schottky diode; carries high di/dt switching current. |
| 7 (FB) | Current sense input | Connects to LED string cathode and external sense resistor; regulates LED current via 95 mV reference (ILED = 95 mV / RFB). |
| 8 (PGND) | Power ground return | Return path for SW node current and internal Schottky cathode; must be low-inductance connection to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to PGND; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal conduction and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky diode | Eliminates need for external 30 V+ Schottky, reducing BOM count, footprint, and forward-drop losses. |
| 34 V factory-trimmed OVP | Prevents overvoltage damage to LEDs and output capacitor during open-circuit faults without external sensing circuitry. |
| 95 mV precision feedback reference | Enables accurate LED current regulation with minimal power loss in sense resistor across temperature and line/load variations. |
| 1.2 MHz constant-frequency PWM | Ensures predictable EMI spectrum and allows use of miniature passive components while avoiding audible noise. |
| Separate AGND and PGND pins | Reduces ground bounce and improves current regulation accuracy by isolating sensitive analog reference from high-current return paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3409QMY/NOPB | External MOSFET driver; no integrated Schottky; adjustable OVP via resistor divider; 1.6 MHz max switching frequency. | Requires external high-VF Schottky and OVP circuitry; better suited for >1 A LED currents and custom OVP thresholds. | Select when higher output current (>700 mA) or programmable OVP is required; adds 3–4 components but offers greater flexibility. |
| TPS61165DRVR | Integrated MOSFET; no internal Schottky; fixed 40 V OVP; 1.2 MHz switching; 1.6 V to 6.5 V input range. | Narrower input range excludes 9 V battery or 2-cell alkaline use; 40 V OVP exceeds MIC2289-34BML-TR's 34 V, increasing capacitor voltage rating requirement. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 40 V OVP is acceptable and input is strictly single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rail; smaller solution size but less input flexibility. |
Compared with LM3409QMY/NOPB and TPS61165DRVR, the MIC2289-34BML-TR provides the lowest BOM count for 34 V OVP-compliant LED strings, integrates both Schottky diode and precision 95 mV reference, and supports the widest input range (2.5–10 V) among the three-making it optimal for multi-chemistry battery-powered portable devices.

FAQ
What is the exact OVP threshold of the MIC2289-34BML-TR?
The MIC2289-34BML-TR has a factory-trimmed output overvoltage protection threshold of 30 V minimum, 32.5 V typical, and 34 V maximum. This 34 V OVP option is permanently configured in the die and cannot be adjusted externally. It activates during open-LED conditions to clamp the output voltage and protect both the IC and external output capacitor, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of DS20006207A.
Which package does the MIC2289-34BML-TR use, and what are its thermal characteristics?
The MIC2289-34BML-TR uses the 8-pin 2 mm × 2 mm DFN package (ML suffix) with exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 93°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This allows sustained operation at up to 350 mW power dissipation when ambient temperature is 85°C, making it suitable for thermally constrained handheld devices without forced airflow.
Can the MIC2289-34BML-TR drive more than six white LEDs in series?
Yes-the MIC2289-34BML-TR can safely drive up to eight white LEDs in series, assuming 3.2 V forward voltage per LED (25.6 V total), with 8.4 V headroom remaining before reaching the 34 V OVP limit. The datasheet confirms suitability for 7–8 LED strings in Table 5-1, recommending 0.22 µF/35 V or 0.27 µF/50 V output capacitors to maintain reliability under worst-case forward voltage variation and temperature drift.
How does the MIC2289-34BML-TR achieve high efficiency with low feedback voltage?
The MIC2289-34BML-TR achieves high efficiency by using a precision 95 mV feedback reference, which reduces power dissipation in the external current-sense resistor (P = I² × R). For a 20 mA LED current, a 4.75 Ω resistor dissipates only 19 µW versus 312 µW with a conventional 1.25 V reference-cutting sense loss by over 94%. This directly extends battery runtime in portable applications where the MIC2289-34BML-TR is deployed.
Is the MIC2289-34BML-TR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MIC2289-34BML-TR is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Per the Product Identification System section (page 19), the "Y" suffix denotes extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and RoHS compliance, and the DFN-8 package carries the Pb-free JEDEC® matte tin (Sn) designation. The "TR" reel packaging further confirms industrial-grade environmental compliance per Microchip's published specifications.
