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 high-
output 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 N-
Channel 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 R_DS(ON) of the external MOSFET. Further
cost and space are saved by the internal in-rush current-
limiting 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 pre-bias voltage at the output.
• Build-in 2.2Ω drivers to drive two n-channel MOSFETs
• Adaptive gate drive increases efficiency
• Simple, externally-compensated voltage-mode PWM
control
• Short minimum ON time of 30ns allowing very-low duty
cycle
• Fast transient response
• Adjustable current limit senses high-side N-Channel
MOSFET current
• Hiccup mode short-circuit protection
• No external current-sense resistor
• Internal soft-start current source
• Dual function COMP and EN pin allows low-power
shutdown
• Available in small-size 10-pin MSOP and 10-pin MSOP
ePad packages
The MIC2169B is available in a 10-pin MSOP and a
thermally-capable 10-pin ePad MSOP package, with a
wide junction operating range of -40°C to +125°C.
