We present a micromagnetic approach to exchange bias (EB) in ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin film systems with a small number of pinned interfacial magnetic moments. We express the exchange bias field $H_{EB}$ in terms of fundamental micromagnetic length scale -- the exchange length $l_{ex}$. The benefit from this approach is a better separation of a term related to FM layer from a term related to FM/AFM coupling at interfaces. Using this approach we estimate the highest limit of $H_{EB}$ in real FM/AFM systems.
