MIC2169B

MIC2169B 500kHz PWM Synchronous Buck Control IC General Description Features The MIC2169B is a high-efficiency, simple to use 500kHz PWM synchronous buck control IC housed in small MSOP-10 and MSOP-10 ePad packages. The MIC2169B allows compact DC/DC solutions with a minimal external component count and cost. The device features highoutput driver capability to drive loads up to 30A. 3V to 14.5V input voltage range Adjustable output voltage down to 0.8V 500kHz PWM operation Up to 95% efficiency Output Pre-biased Protection The MIC2169B operates from a 3V to 14.5V input, without the need of any additional bias voltage. The output voltage can be precisely regulated down to 0.8V. The adaptive all N-Channel MOSFET drive scheme allows efficiencies over 95% across a wide load range within the smallest possible printed circuit board space area. The MIC2169B senses current across the high-side NChannel MOSFET, eliminating the need for an expensive and lossy current-sense resistor. Current-limit accuracy is maintained by a positive temperature coefficient that tracks the increasing RDS(ON) of the external MOSFET. Further cost and space are saved by the internal in-rush currentlimiting digital soft-start. The MIC2169B is identical to the MIC2169A with the exception that the MIC2169B supports pre-bias loads and has a lower impedance gate-drive circuit. Internal pre-bias circuit prevents output voltage drooping and excessive reverse inductor current when powering up with a p...
