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.

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.  
R8  
Eq. (3)  
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  
2:

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 2and a sink  
resistance of 3.5.  
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:

Eq. (7) TSOFTSTART  
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  
VCOMP_STEADY_STATE is usually between 0.7V to 3V, but can

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 16.5k.  
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:

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

RCS. The calculated value of RCS for a 1.9A current limit was  
179m. 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

the FET is turning off and on. There are two transition times  
per period, T. It is important not to confuse T (the period)  
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  
desired LED current flows.

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  
and if the converter control IC is referenced to this voltage  
drop, the output regulation will suffer.

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