•Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”

1.2.2MIC4802 Device Overview
The MIC4802 is a high efficiency White LED (WLED) linear driver designed to drive a
single LED up to 800 mA. The MIC4802 provides the highest possible efficiency, as this
architecture has no switching losses present in traditional charge pumps or inductive
boost circuits. It features a typical dropout of 280 mV at 800 mA. This allows the LEDs
to be driven directly from the voltage source eliminating switching noise/losses present
with the use of boost circuitry. The high accuracy (1% Typical) current regulated WLED
channel ensures uniform display illumination under all conditions. The brightness is
controlled through an Ultra Fast PWM Control interface operating down to less than 1%
duty cycle.
The 3.0V to 5.5V input voltage range of MIC4802 allows direct operation from one cell
Li-Ion as 3 to 4 cell Ni-Cd, Ni-MH or Alkaline batteries. Maximum battery life is assured
with a low 0.01 μA typical shutdown current.
