MIC3202-1YME-TR

LED Driver IC Overview

The MIC3202-1YME-TR is a high-side current sense LED driver IC from Microchip Technology, designed for high-brightness LED applications. It operates as a step-down (buck) DC-DC regulator with an integrated internal switch. The device supports a supply voltage range of 6V to 37V and delivers a regulated output current of 1A per channel. It features PWM dimming capability and operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The component is housed in an 8-SOIC package with an exposed pad (8-SOIC-EP) for thermal management.

LED Driver IC Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-side current sense amplifier for precise LED regulation
• Supports pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming for brightness control
• Includes an internal power switch for compact buck converter topology

LED Driver IC Applications

• High-brightness LED lighting systems

LED Driver IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-TR' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing components. Confirm that the 8-SOIC-EP package requires appropriate PCB thermal design for heat dissipation. Ensure compatibility with the required input voltage range of 6V to 37V for the target application. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly.

LED Driver IC Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a single-channel, high-current LED driver with integrated sensing. It is suitable for space-constrained applications due to its SOIC-8 footprint. Consider the 1MHz switching frequency for passive component sizing. Evaluate thermal performance requirements given the exposed pad package type for reliable operation at elevated temperatures.

LED Driver IC Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC3202 family of LED drivers from Microchip Technology. It is specifically engineered for high-power LED applications where accurate current regulation is critical. The device simplifies design by integrating the power switch and current sense amplifier, reducing the external component count compared to discrete solutions.

LED Driver IC Replacement Considerations

The MIC3202-1YME is the tube-packaged equivalent of this reel-part. Verify pinout and electrical specifications match before substituting with other LED driver ICs from different manufacturers.
