USER MANUAL MIC3202YME Microchip
The MIC3202/MIC3202-1 is a hysteretic step-down, constant-current, High-Brightness LED (HB LED) driver. It provides an ideal solution for interior/exterior lighting, architectural and ambient lighting, LED bulbs, and other general illumination applications.
This board enables the evaluation of the MIC3202/MIC3202-1 for 1A LED current. The board is optimized for ease of testing, with all the components on a single side. The device operates from a 6V to 37V input voltage range, and includes an integrated 1.0A MOSFET. When the input voltage approaches and crosses UVLO threshold, the internal 5V V_CC is regulated and the integrated MOSFET is turned on if EN pin and DIM pin are high. The inductor current builds up linearly. When the CS pin voltage hits the V_CS(MAX) with respect to V_IN , the internal MOSFET is turned off and the Schottky diode takes over and returns the current to V_IN . Then the current through inductor and LEDs starts decreasing. When CS pin hits V_CS(MIN) , the internal MOSFET is turned on and the cycle repeats.
Since the control scheme does not need loop compensation, it makes for a very simple design and avoids problems of instability.

Requirements
This board needs a single-bench power source adjustable over the input voltage of 6V < V_IN < 37V that can provide at least 1A of current. The loads can either be active (electronic load in CV mode) or passive (LEDs) with the ability to dissipate the maximum load power while keeping accessible surfaces ideally <70^ .
Precautions
There is no reverse input protection on this board. When connecting the input sources, ensure that the correct polarity is observed.
In the line transient condition, such as hot plug-in, an electrolytic capacitor may be required at the VIN and GND terminals in order to prevent IC damage from a surge voltage.
Getting Started
- Connect V_IN supply to the input VIN and GND terminals. With the output of this supply disabled, set the supply voltage to the desired input test voltage (6V < V_IN < 37V). This supply voltage should be monitored at the test boards input terminals to allow voltage drops in the test cables (and ammeter if used) to be accounted for. An ammeter can be added inline with the +VIN input terminal to accurately measure input current.
- Connect the LEDs to the output terminals between LED+ and LED-. This LED voltage drop depends on manufacturer tolerance and number of LEDs. The LED current can be measured using an ammeter or current probe. A 4.7μF ceramic capacitor helps to reduce the current ripple through the LED. The LED current is set to 1A by a 200mΩ current-sense resistor (R _CS ).
- Enable the input supply. By default, the IC is enabled when the input voltage crosses the VIN threshold (4V) and the internal VCC regulator and internal MOSFET are turned on with the EN and DIM pins are high. To use the EN and DIM functions of the MIC3202/MIC3202-1, a test point is provided for each of them.

Other Features
EN Input
The EN pin provides a logic level control of the output and the voltage has to be 2.0V or higher to enable the current regulator. The output stage is gated by the DIM pin. When the EN pin is pulled low, the regulator goes to off-state and the supply current of the device is reduced to below 1 A. Do not drive the EN pin above the supply voltage.
DIM Input
The DIM pin provides a logic level control for brightness of the LED. A PWM input can be used to control the brightness of LED. DIM high enables the output and its voltage has to be 2.0V or higher. DIM low disables the output, regardless of EN high-state.
Current-Sense Input
The CS pin provides the high-side current sense to set the LED current with an external sense resistor.
A sense resistor R_CS is placed between V_IN and LED+ terminals.
The current through LED is sensed by the sense resistor ( R_CS ). The sensed voltage is fed back to the MIC3202 to regulate the LED current
R_cs is given by:
$$ R _ {C S} = \frac {1}{2} x (\frac {V + V}{I _ {L E D}}) ^ {\text { MIN(CS)MAX(CS)}} \text { Error! } $$
Bookmark not defined.
I_LED is LED current required to set.
| R_CS (Ω) | I_LED (A) I | ^2R (W) Size (SMD) | |
| 1.33 | 0.15 | 0.03 | 0603 |
| 0.56 | 0.35 | 0.07 | 0805 |

| 0.2 | 1.0 | 0.2 | 1206 |
For V_CS(MAX) and V_CS(MIN) refers to the Electrical Characteristics table.
Frequency of Operation
To calculate the frequency spread across input supply:
$$ F _ {\mathrm{SW}} = \frac {(V _ {\mathrm{D}} + I _ {\mathrm{LED}} \times R _ {\mathrm{CS}} + V _ {\mathrm{LED}}) \times (V _ {\mathrm{IN}} - I _ {\mathrm{LED}} \times R _ {\mathrm{CS}} - V _ {\mathrm{LED}})}{L \times \Delta I _ {\mathrm{L}} \times (V _ {\mathrm{D}} + V _ {\mathrm{IN}})} $$
$$ \Delta I _ {L} = \frac {V _ {\mathrm{CS(MAX)}} - V _ {\mathrm{CS(MIN)}}}{R _ {\mathrm{CS}}} $$
where:
V_D is Schottky diode forward drop
V_LED is total LEDs voltage drop
V_IN is input voltage
I_LED is average LED current
According to the above equation, choose the inductor to make the operating frequency no higher than 1MHz.
Refer to the datasheet Application Information for more information on components selection guidelines.
Frequency Dithering
The MIC3202 is designed to modulate the V_CS(MAX) with amplitude ±6mV by a pseudo random generator to generate the ±12% of the switching frequency dithering. This spreads the frequency spectrum over a wider range and reduce the EMI noise peaks.
The MIC3202-1 is non-dithering version of the MIC3202.
