MIC3230/1/2
Constant Current Boost Controller for
Driving High Power LEDs
General Description
The MIC3230/1/2 are constant current boost switching
controllers specifically designed to power one or more
strings of high power LEDs. The MIC3230/1/2 have an
input voltage range from 6V to 45V and are ideal for a
variety of solid state lighting applications.
Bringing the Power to Light™
Features
• 6V to 45V input supply range
The MIC3230/1/2 utilizes an external power device which
offers a cost conscious solution for high power LED
applications. The powerful drive circuitry can deliver up to
70W to the LED system. Power consumption has been
minimized through the implementation of a 250mV
feedback voltage reference providing an accuracy of ±3%.
The MIC323x family is dimmable via a pulse width
modulated (PWM) input signal and also features an enable
pin for low power shutdown.
• Capable of driving up to 70W
• Ultra low EMI via dithering on the MIC3231
• Programmable LED drive current
• Feedback voltage = 250mV ±3%
• Programmable switching frequency (MIC3230/1) or
400kHz fixed frequency operation (MIC3232)
• PWM Dimming and separate enable shutdown
• Frequency synchronization with other MIC3230s
• Protection features:
Multiple MIC3230 ICs can be synchronized to a common
operating frequency. The clocks of these synchronized
devices can be used together in order to help reduce noise
and errors in a system.
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
Over temperature protection
Under-voltage Lock-out (UVLO)
• Packages:
An external resistor sets the adjustable switching
frequency of the MIC3230/1. The switching frequency can
be between 100kHz and1MHz. Setting the switching
frequency provides the mechanism by which a design can
be optimized for efficiency (performance) and size of the
external components (cost). The MIC323x family of LED
drivers also offer the following protection features: Over
voltage protection (OVP), thermal shutdown and under-
voltage lock-out (UVLO).

MIC3230/1/2
The MIC3230/1/2 features a low impedance gate driver
capable of switching large MOSFETs. This low impedance
helps provide higher operating efficiency.
Functional Description
A constant output current converter is the preferred
method for driving LEDs. Small variations in current have a
minimal effect on the light output, whereas small variations
in voltage have a significant impact on light output. The
MIC323x family of LED drivers are specifically designed to
operate as constant current LED Drivers and the typical
application schematic is shown in Figure 1.
The MIC323x family can control the brightness of the
LEDs via its PWM dimming capability. Applying a PWM
signal (up to 500Hz) to the PWMD pin allows for control of
the brightness of the LED.
Each member of the MIC323x family employs peak current
mode control. Peak current mode control offers
advantages over voltage mode control in the following
manner. Current mode control can achieve a superior line
transient performance compared to voltage mode control
and through small signal analysis (not shown here),
current mode control is easier to compensate than voltage
mode control, thus allowing for a less complex control loop
stability design. Figure 2 shows the functional block
diagram.
The MIC323x family is designed to operate as a boost
controller, where the output voltage is greater than the
input voltage. This configuration allows for the design of
multiple LEDs in series to help maintain color and
brightness. The MIC323x family can also be configured as
a SEPIC controller, where the output voltage can be either
above or below the input voltage.
The MIC3230/1/2 have a very wide input voltage range,
between 6V and 45V, to help accommodate for a diverse
range of input voltage applications. In addition, the LED
current can be programmed to a wide range of values
through the use of an external resistor. This provides
design flexibility in adjusting the current for a particular
application need.

Output Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
Power Topology
The MIC323x provides an OVP circuitry in order to help
protect the system from an overvoltage fault condition.
This OVP point can be programmed through the use of
external resistors (R8 and R9 in Figure 1). A reference
value of 1.245V is used for the OVP. Equation 3 can be
used to calculate the resistor value for R9 to set the OVP
point.
Constant Output Current Controller
The MIC323x family is peak current mode boost
controllers designed to drive high power LEDs. Unlike a
standard constant output voltage controller, the MIC323x
family has been designed to provide a constant output
current. The MIC323x family is designed for a wide input
voltage range, from 6V to 45V. In the boost configuration,
the output can be set from VIN up to 100V.

R9 =
(V
/1.245) −1
OVP
As a peak current mode controller, the MIC323x family
provides the benefits of superior line transient response as
well as an easier to design compensation.
LED Dimming
The MIC323x family of LED drivers can control the
brightness of the LED string via the use of pulse width
modulated (PWM) dimming. A PWM input signal of up to
500Hz can be applied to the PWM DIM pin (see Figure 1)
to pulse the LED string ON and OFF. It is recommended to
use PWM dimming signals above 120Hz to avoid any
recognizable flicker by the human eye. PWM dimming is
the preferred way to dim a LED in order to prevent
color/wavelength shifting, as occurs with analog dimming.
The output current level remains constant during each
PWMD pulse.
This family of LED drivers features a built-in soft-start
circuitry in order to prevent start-up surges. Other
protection features include:
•
Current Limit (ILIMIT) - Current sensing for over current
and overload protection
•
Over Voltage Protection (OVP) - Output over voltage
protection to prevent operation above a safe upper
limit
•
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) – UVLO designed to
prevent operation at very low input voltages
Oscillator and Switching Frequency Selection
Setting the LED Current
The MIC323x family features an internal oscillator that
synchronizes all of the switching circuits internal to the IC.
This frequency is adjustable on the MIC3230 and MIC3231
and fixed at 400kHz in the MIC3232.
The current through the LED string is set via the value
chosen for the current sense resistor, RADJ. This value can
be calculated using Equation 1:
0.25V
In the MIC3230/1, the switching frequency can be set by
choosing the appropriate value for the resistor, R1
according to Equation 4:
I
=
Eq. (1)
LED
R
ADJ
Another important parameter to be aware of in the boost
controller design is the ripple current. The amount of ripple
current through the LED string is equal to the output ripple
voltage divided by the LED AC resistance (RLED – provided
by the LED manufacturer) plus the current sense resistor
(RADJ). The amount of allowable ripple through the LED
string is dependent upon the application and is left to the
designer’s discretion. This equation is shown in Equation

SYNC (MIC3230 Only)
Multiple MIC3230 ICs can be synchronized by connecting
their SYNC pins together. When synchronized, the
MIC3230 with the highest frequency (master) will override
the other MIC3230s (slaves). The internal oscillator of the
master IC will override the oscillator of the slave part(s)
and all MIC3230 will be synchronized to the same master
switching frequency.

Reference Voltage
The voltage feedback loop of the MIC323x uses an
internal reference voltage of 0.25V with an accuracy of
±3%. The feedback voltage is the voltage drop across the
current setting resistor (RADJ) as shown in Figure 1. When
in regulation the voltage at IADJ will equal 0.25V.

Dithering (MIC3231 Only)
Current Sense IS
The MIC3231 has a feature which dithers the switching
frequency by ±12%. The purpose of this dithering is to help
achieve a spread spectrum of the conducted EMI noise.
This can allow for an overall reduction in noise emission by
approximately 10dB.
The IS pin monitors the rising slope of the inductor current
(m1 in Figure 5) and also sources a ramp current
(250µA/T) that flows through RSLC that is used for slope
compensation. This ramp of 250µA per period, T,
generates a ramped voltage across RSLC and is labeled VA
in Figure 3. The signal at the IS pin is the sum of VCS + VA
(as shown in Figure 3). The current sense circuitry and
block diagram is displayed in Figure 4. The IS pin is also
used as the current limit (see the previous section on
Current Limit).
Internal Gate Driver
External FETs are driven by the MIC323x’s internal low
impedance gate drivers. These drivers are biased from the
VDD and have a source resistance of 2ꢀ and a sink
resistance of 3.5ꢀ.
VDD
VDD is an internal linear regulator powered by VIN and VDD
is the bias supply for the internal circuitry of the MIC323x.
A 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor is required at the VDD pin
for proper operation. This pin is for filtering only and should
not be utilized for operation.
Current Limit
The MIC323x family features a current limit protection
feature to prevent any current runaway conditions. The
current limit circuitry monitors current on a pulse by pulse
basis. It limits the current through the inductor by sensing
the voltage across RCS. When 0.45V is present at the IS
pin, the pulse is truncated. The next pulse continues as
normally until the IS pin reaches 0.45V and it is truncated
once again. This will continue until the output load is
decreased.
Figure 3. Slope Compensation Waveforms
Soft Start
The boost switching convertor features a soft start in order
to power up in a controlled manner, thereby limiting the
inrush current from the line supply. Without this soft start,
the inrush current could be too high for the supply. To
prevent this, a soft start delay can be set using the
compensation capacitor (CCOMP in Figure 1). For switching
to begin, the voltage on the compensation cap must reach
about 0.7V. Switching starts with the minimum duty cycle
and increases to the final duty cycle. As the duty cycle
increases, VOUT will increase from VIN to its final value. A
6µA current source charges the compensation capacitor
and the soft start time can be calculated in Equation 7:

The MIC323x is a peak current mode controller and
requires slope compensation. Slope compensation is
required to maintain internal stability across all duty cycles
and prevent any unstable oscillations. The MIC323x uses
slope compensation that is set by an external resistor,
RSLC. The ability to set the proper slope compensation
through the use of a single external component results in
6μA

These can be calculated for the nominal (typical) operating

Design Example
In this example, we will be designing a boost LED driver
operating off a 12V input. This design has been created
to drive six LEDs at 350mA with a ripple of about 12%.
We are designing for 80% efficiency at a switching
frequency of 500kHz.

Inductor Selection
Use the closest standard value resistor of 16.5kꢀ.
First, it is necessary to calculate the RMS input current
(nominal, min and max) for the system given the operating
conditions listed in the design example table. This minimum
value of the RMS input current is necessary to ensure proper
operation. Using Equation 9, the following values have been
calculated:
Select RADJ
Having chosen the LED drive current to be 350mA in this

It can be difficult to find large inductor values with high
saturation currents in a surface mount package. Due to
this, the percentage of the ripple current may be limited
by the available inductor. It is recommended to operate
in the continuous conduction mode. The selection of L
described here is for continuous conduction mode.

The average input current is different than the RMS input
current because of the ripple current. If the ripple current
is low, then the average input current nearly equals the
RMS input current. In the case where the average input
current is different than the RMS, Equation 10 shows the
following:
Use the next higher standard value if this not a standard
value. In this example 511ꢀ is a standard value.

RCS. The calculated value of RCS for a 1.9A current limit was
179mꢀ. In this example, we have chosen a lower value
which results in a higher current limit. If we use a higher
standard value the current limit will have a lower value. The
designer does not have the same choices for small valued
resistors as with larger valued resistors. The choices differ
from resistor manufacturers. If too large a current sense
resistor is selected, the maximum output power may not be
able to be achieved at low input line voltage levels. Make
sure the inductor will not saturate at the actual current limit

The input current is shown in Figure 5. For superior
performance, ceramic capacitors should be used because of
their low equivalent series resistance (ESR). The input ripple
current is equal to the ripple in the inductor plus the ripple
voltage across the input capacitor, which is the ESR of CIN
times the inductor ripple. The input capacitor will also
bypass the EMI generated by the converter as well as any
voltage spikes generated by the inductance of the input line.

In this LED driver application, the ILED ripple current is a
more important factor compared to that of the output
ripple voltage (although the two are directly related). To
find the COUT for a required ILED ripple use the following
calculation:
This is the minimum value that should be used. The input
capacitor should also be rated for the maximum RMS input
current. To protect the IC from inductive spikes or any
overshoot, a larger value of input capacitance may be
required and it is recommended that ceramic capacitors be
used. In this design example a value of 4.7µF ceramic
capacitor was selected.

The switching losses occur during the switching transitions

Use the next highest standard value, which is 4.7μF.
There is a trade off between the output ripple and the
rising edge of the PWMD pulse. This is because
between PWM dimming pulses, the converter stops
pulsing and COUT will start to discharge. The amount that
COUT will discharge depends on the time between PWM
Dimming pluses. At the next PWMD pulse COUT has to
be charged up to the full output voltage VOUT before the

1. All typologies of DC-to-DC converters have a reverse
recovery current (RRC) of the flyback or (freewheeling)
diode. Even a Schottky diode, which is advertised as having
zero RRC, it really is not zero. The RRC of the freewheeling
diode in a boost converter is even greater than in the Buck
converter. This is because the output voltage is higher than
the input voltage and the diode has to charge up to –VOUT
during each on-time pulse and then discharge to VF during
the off-time.

2. Even though the RRC is very short (tens of nanoseconds)
the peak currents are high (multiple amperes). The high
RRC causes a voltage drop on the ground trace of the PCB

drop, the output regulation will suffer.

This is about the limit for a part on a circuit board without

point as the output capacitors to avoid the voltage drop
caused by RRC. This is also called a star connection or
single point grounding.
