Product details
Overview
MIC2293-34BML-TR from Microchip Technology is a high-frequency PWM boost regulator optimized for constant-current white LED driver applications, featuring 2.0 MHz switching frequency, 34V output overvoltage protection, internal Schottky diode, 500 mA switch current rating, and operation from 2.5V to 10V input. It targets compact backlighting in portable consumer electronics requiring stable current regulation and minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2293-34BML-TR datasheet, MIC2293-34BML-TR pinout, MIC2293-34BML-TR application, or MIC2293-34BML-TR equivalent, this device offers verified 2 mm × 2 mm DFN-8 packaging, precise 95 mV feedback reference, <1% line/load regulation, and integrated OVP-critical for LED string reliability in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MIC2293-34BML-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 output transistor delivers up to 500 mA peak switch current while maintaining stable operation with ceramic capacitors only.
It integrates open-circuit protection via dedicated 34V OVP monitoring, uses an internal Schottky diode rated for 34V reverse voltage and 150 mA forward current, and features undervoltage lockout (2.1 V typical) and thermal shutdown (150°C threshold) to ensure robust operation across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 2.0 MHz - Enables use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic capacitors; avoids RF interference in IF bands. |
| Feedback Voltage | 95 mV ±5% - Sets LED current via external sense resistor; enables accurate constant-current regulation. |
| OVP Threshold | 34 V - Protects against LED open-circuit failure; allows selection of lower-voltage-rated output capacitors. |
| 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. |
| Switch Current Limit | 750 mA typical - Limits peak inductor current during startup or fault conditions; ensures safe transient handling. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA typical - Minimizes battery drain in standby; supports long battery life in portable devices. |
| Line/Load Regulation | <1% - Maintains stable LED current despite input voltage or load variations; critical for uniform brightness. |
Pinout & Package
The MIC2293-34BML-TR is housed in a thermally enhanced 2 mm × 2 mm, 0.9 mm height DFN-8 package with exposed pad (EP) for improved heat dissipation. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pins 4 and 8 are AGND/PGND, and EP connects internally to ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Output / OVP Sense | Connects to output capacitor and LED anode; monitors output voltage for 34V overvoltage protection. |
| 2 VIN | Power Input | Accepts 2.5–10 V supply; powers internal circuitry and switch; includes UVLO at 2.1 V typical. |
| 3 EN | Enable Control | Logic HIGH (≥1.5 V) enables regulation; logic LOW disables switching and reduces quiescent current to 0.1 µA. |
| 4, 8 AGND/PGND | Analog & Power Ground | Separate ground returns minimize noise coupling; both connect to system ground and EP. |
| 5 NC | No Connect | Not bonded; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice (no internal connection). |
| 6 FB | Current Sense Input | Connects to LED cathode via external resistor; 95 mV reference sets LED current (ILED = 95 mV / RFB). |
| 7 SW | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; sees up to 34 V swing; requires careful PCB routing to minimize EMI. |
| EP | Thermal Pad / GND | Exposed copper pad on bottom; must be soldered to large PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Dual Dimming Support | Enables both PWM dimming (via EN pin) and analog dimming (via FB pin voltage injection), supporting flexible brightness control schemes. |
| Stable with Ceramic Capacitors | Removes need for electrolytic or tantalum output capacitors; improves reliability and reduces footprint in portable designs. |
| Open-Circuit Protection | Prevents destructive overvoltage during LED string disconnection by clamping output at 34 V using dedicated OVP circuitry. |
| Soft-Start Compatibility | Supports external soft-start capacitor on FB pin to limit inrush current during startup, protecting LEDs and input source. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC2293-15YML-TR | Same 2.0 MHz frequency and DFN-8 package, but 15V OVP instead of 34V. | Suitable for ≤4-LED strings (≤12V nominal); not safe for 6+ LED strings where output may exceed 15V. | Select when output voltage stays below 13V; saves cost on lower-voltage capacitors and diodes. |
| TPS61061DRVR | 2.5 MHz switching, 28V OVP, 400 mA switch current, no internal Schottky (requires external diode). | Requires external Schottky diode and larger output capacitor; less compact than MIC2293-34BML-TR solution. | Choose if higher switching frequency is needed to avoid specific RF bands; accept added component count and layout complexity. |
Compared with MIC2293-15YML-TR, the MIC2293-34BML-TR provides higher OVP headroom for longer LED strings; compared with TPS61061DRVR, it delivers greater integration (internal Schottky), smaller solution size, and tighter current regulation (95 mV vs. 100 mV reference), making it optimal for space- and efficiency-critical portable LED systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the MIC2293-34BML-TR?
The MIC2293-34BML-TR features a factory-set 34V overvoltage protection (OVP) threshold. While the output can be regulated up to ~32V under normal operation, the internal OVP circuit clamps the output at 34V maximum to prevent damage during LED open-circuit faults. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (VOVP = 30–34V for MIC2292/93-34 variants) and Functional Description section.
Does the MIC2293-34BML-TR require an external Schottky diode?
No, the MIC2293-34BML-TR integrates a Schottky diode rated for 34V reverse voltage and 150 mA forward current. The datasheet explicitly states "Internal Schottky Diode" in Features and confirms its inclusion in the Functional Block Diagram and Pin Descriptions. No external diode is required, reducing BOM count and PCB area.
What is the feedback reference voltage of the MIC2293-34BML-TR and how is LED current set?
The MIC2293-34BML-TR has a precise 95 mV ±5% feedback reference voltage (VFB). LED current is set by connecting a resistor (RFB) between the FB pin and ground: ILED = 95 mV / RFB. This relationship is derived directly from Equation 4-1 in the datasheet and validated across –40°C to +125°C.
Can the MIC2293-34BML-TR operate from a single-cell Li-ion battery?
Yes, the MIC2293-34BML-TR supports input voltages from 2.5 V to 10 V, fully covering the discharge range of a single-cell Li-ion battery (typically 3.0 V to 4.2 V). Its 2.1 V typical UVLO ensures reliable start-up even at low battery voltage, and its high 2.0 MHz switching frequency maintains efficiency across the full input range.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the MIC2293-34BML-TR use?
The MIC2293-34BML-TR uses a 2 mm × 2 mm, 8-pin DFN package with exposed thermal pad (ML suffix). Its junction-to-air thermal resistance (θJA) is 93°C/W under standard JEDEC conditions. The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve rated power dissipation and maintain operation within the –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
