The MIC3291 is a PWM switching boost regulator that is optimized for constant current white LED (WLED) driver applications. The MIC3291 features an internal Schottky diode, allowing an efficient DC/DC solution that requires only four external components.
The MIC3291 allows for a single-wire simple digital interface to control the dimming over 16 steps with a linear scale. The preprogramming feature allows the user to select any one of the 16 WLED current levels as the start up brightness level.
The feedback voltage of the MIC3291 is only 250mV, allowing high efficiency while retaining excellent accuracy for the WLED current.
The MIC3291 implements a constant frequency 1.2MHz PWM control scheme. The high frequency PWM operation saves board space by reducing external component sizes. The 1.2MHz PWM scheme also reduces switching noise and ripple to the input power source.
The 2.5V to 6.5V input voltage range of the MIC3291 allows direct operation from single cell Li-Ion as well as 3- to 4-cell NiCad/NiMH/Alkaline batteries. Battery life is preserved with a low 1µA shutdown current.
The MIC3291 is available in a low profile Thin SOT23 6-pin and 2mm x 2mm MLF® 8-pin packages with a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
YG GROUP (YUGUANG INTERNATIONAL(HK)CO.,LTD) supports reliable sourcing through quality controls and compliance documentation. Please confirm product requirements, applicable certifications and supporting documents before ordering.
MIC3291 is an authentic electronic component manufactured by Microchip, categorized under Driver ICs. It is supplied in the standard manufacturer-specified package footprint, providing industry-standard mechanical dimensions and terminal configurations for board-level assembly. Full pinout configurations, physical footprint drawings, and rated operating tolerances are documented in the official MIC3291 datasheet above.
Electronic component spot-market pricing for MIC3291 fluctuates based on real-time global availability, production date codes, minimum order quantities (MOQ), and packaging formats (e.g., Reel, Tube, Tray). Using an RFQ ensures you receive accurate, real-time volume pricing tied to verified, traceable inventory rather than stale catalog estimates.
Lead times for MIC3291 depend on whether stock is dispatched from our central hub or regional franchise partners. Ready-to-ship inventory typically leaves the warehouse within 1–3 business days following quality inspection, while factory-direct or back-ordered allocations are confirmed with an estimated ship date upon RFQ reply.
