Product details
Overview
MIC2293-15YML-TR from Microchip Technology is a high-frequency PWM boost regulator IC optimized for constant-current white LED driver applications, featuring 2.0 MHz switching frequency, 15 V output overvoltage protection (OVP), internal Schottky diode, and operation from 2.5 V to 10 V input. It delivers up to 34 V output voltage with 95 mV feedback reference and supports LED backlighting in compact portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2293-15YML-TR datasheet, MIC2293-15YML-TR pinout, MIC2293-15YML-TR application, or MIC2293-15YML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include OVP threshold accuracy, 2 mm × 2 mm DFN-8 thermal performance, shutdown current <1 µA, stable ceramic capacitor compatibility, and PWM dimming interface via EN/FB pins.
Technical Context
The MIC2293-15YML-TR implements constant-frequency current-mode PWM control with a dedicated 2.0 MHz oscillator, slope compensation ramp generator, and gm error amplifier referenced to 95 mV. Its bipolar 500 mA switch and integrated Schottky diode enable efficient single-inductor boost conversion without external rectification.
It features dual-level protection: undervoltage lockout (2.1 V typical) and overtemperature shutdown (150 °C threshold), plus dedicated 15 V OVP monitoring that clamps output during open-circuit LED faults-critical for safeguarding SW node voltage within 34 V absolute maximum rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 2.0 MHz ±0.25 MHz - enables use of sub-10 µH inductors and avoids RF interference bands. |
| Feedback Voltage | 95 mV ±5% - sets LED current via external sense resistor (e.g., 4.75 Ω for 20 mA). |
| OVP Threshold | 15 V (typical 14 V, max 16 V) - protects against LED open-circuit failure while allowing margin for 4-LED strings (~12 V). |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 10 V - supports direct operation from 1–2-cell Li-ion or 3–4-cell alkaline/NiMH batteries. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA - minimizes battery drain in standby mode for portable devices. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive cabin and industrial ambient environments. |
| Package | 2 mm × 2 mm DFN-8 with exposed pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 93°C/W) for high-power-density layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 2 mm × 2 mm, 0.9 mm height, 8-pin DFN (ML) with exposed thermal pad (EP). RoHS-compliant, Pb-free matte tin finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUT | Output / OVP Sense | Connects to output capacitor and LED anodes; monitors output for 15 V OVP clamp activation. |
| 2: VIN | Power Input | Accepts 2.5–10 V supply; feeds internal bias circuitry and switch driver. |
| 3: EN | Enable Control | Logic-high (>1.5 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.4 V) disables switching and reduces IIN to ≤1 µA. |
| 4, 8: AGND/PGND | Analog & Power Ground | Separate ground paths minimize noise coupling between feedback and switch return currents. |
| 5: NC | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 6: FB | Current Sense Input | Monitors voltage across external sense resistor; regulates LED current to maintain 95 mV at this pin. |
| 7: SW | Switch Node | Connects to inductor and internal bipolar transistor collector; carries high di/dt switching current. |
| EP | Thermal Pad | Must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal dissipation and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky Diode | Eliminates need for external rectifier, reducing BOM count and board area by ~30% vs discrete solutions. |
| Stable with Ceramic Capacitors | Enables use of low-ESR, small-footprint MLCCs instead of bulkier electrolytics or tantalums. |
| PWM Dimming Support | EN pin accepts 100 Hz–10 kHz PWM signals for flicker-free brightness control without efficiency loss. |
| Open-Circuit Protection | Dedicated 15 V OVP circuit prevents SW node overvoltage during LED string disconnection or failure. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC2293-34YML-TR | Same 2.0 MHz frequency and package, but 34 V OVP threshold instead of 15 V. | Suitable for 6–8 LED strings requiring higher output voltage; not safe for 4-LED designs due to OVP margin violation. | Select only when output voltage exceeds 12 V and fault protection must cover full string dropout. |
| TPS61061DRVR | 1.4 MHz switching, 28 V OVP, no internal Schottky diode (requires external), 1.25 V feedback reference. | Requires external rectifier and higher-value sense resistor; less compact than MIC2293-15YML-TR. | Choose if system already uses TI ecosystem or requires adjustable OVP via external divider. |
Compared with MIC2293-34YML-TR and TPS61061DRVR, the MIC2293-15YML-TR offers optimal balance of size, integration (internal Schottky), and precise 15 V OVP for 4-LED backlighting-reducing component count by two parts and enabling smaller inductors than lower-frequency alternatives.

FAQ
What is the exact OVP threshold voltage for MIC2293-15YML-TR?
The MIC2293-15YML-TR has a guaranteed OVP threshold of 13 V (min), 14 V (typical), and 16 V (max) under standard operating conditions. This 15 V nominal rating is factory-trimmed and tested per DS20006598A-page 4 Electrical Characteristics table, ensuring reliable open-circuit protection for 4-LED strings without overdesigning output capacitors.
Does MIC2293-15YML-TR require an external Schottky diode?
No, the MIC2293-15YML-TR integrates a Schottky diode rated for 34 V reverse voltage and 150 mA forward current (0.8 V typical drop at 150 mA). This eliminates the need for an external diode, reducing bill-of-materials count and PCB footprint-confirmed in DS20006598A-page 1 Features and page 10 Functional Description.
Can MIC2293-15YML-TR drive more than four white LEDs in series?
Driving more than four white LEDs (typically >12 V total VF) risks exceeding the 15 V OVP threshold during transient or fault conditions. While the IC can regulate up to 34 V output, the -15 variant's OVP is fixed at 15 V; for 6–8 LED strings, use MIC2293-34YML-TR instead to maintain safe fault margin per DS20006598A-page 11 Section 4.2.
What is the recommended inductor value for a 3-LED smartphone backlight using MIC2293-15YML-TR?
For a 3-LED string (≈9 V VF) from a 3.6 V Li-ion source, Microchip recommends a 15 µH inductor (e.g., Murata LQH43MN150K21) per DS20006598A-page 12 Table 5-1. This value balances peak switch current, efficiency (>88% per Figure 2-2), and physical size in 0805 or 1008 footprints.
How does MIC2293-15YML-TR support PWM dimming?
The MIC2293-15YML-TR supports PWM dimming via its EN pin: applying a 100 Hz–10 kHz logic-level PWM signal directly toggles regulation on/off, delivering full LED current during active cycles and zero current during inactive cycles. This method achieves high efficiency and flicker-free dimming without altering the 95 mV feedback reference-detailed in DS20006598A-page 10 Section 4.1.
