Micrel
General Description
The MIC3223 is a constant current boost LED driver capable of driving a series string of high power LEDs. The MIC3223 can be used in general lighting, bulb replacement, garden pathway lighting and other solid state illumination applications.
The MIC3223 is a peak current mode control PWM boost regulator and the 4.5V and 20V operating input voltage range allows multiple applications from a 5V or a 12V bus.
