Features and Specifications

The MIC3291-18YD6-TR is a low voltage, high-efficiency flash LED driver integrated with a charge pump. The device is capable of driving two banks of LEDs, with the flexibility to adjust each bank independently. It is designed to operate from a 3.0 V to 5.5 V DC input voltage and supports both PWM and analog dimming. In addition, it has configurable LED current levels and a high switching frequency of up to 500 kHz. The device also features over temperature protection, programmable current limit and auto reset at shutdown.

Working Principle

The MIC3291-18YD6-TR works on the principle of charge pump technology. It takes a DC input voltage and converts it into a higher or lower output voltage level depending on the current needs of the system. The device features an internal low-noise charge pump and a switching regulator. The internal charge pump boosts the input voltage to a constant voltage level and the regulator further adjusts it according to the current needs of the LEDs. The device has a high switching frequency which allows for constant control of the current output. Additionally, the device has configurable current levels and it can be dimmed by using either an external PWM input or an analog dimming source.
