MIC2185
Low Voltage Synchronous Boost PWM Control IC
Final Information
General Description
Features
Micrel’s MIC2185 is a high efficiency synchronous boost
PWM control IC. With its wide input voltage range of 2.9V to
14V, the MIC2185 can be used to efficiently boost voltages in
1- or 2-cell Li Ion battery powered applications, as well as
fixed 3.3V and 5V systems. Its powerful 5Ω output drivers
allow the MIC2185 to supply large output currents with the
selection of the proper external MOSFETs.
• Input voltage range: 2.9V to 14V
• 95% efficiency
• Oscillator frequency of 200kHz/400kHz
• Frequency sync to 600kHz
• 0.5µA shutdown current
• Two 5Ω output drivers
• Front edge blanking
• PWM Current Mode Control
• Cycle-by-Cycle current limiting
• Frequency foldback protection
• Adjustable under-voltage lockout
• Precision 1.245V reference output
• 16 pin SOIC narrow body package and 16 pin QSOP
package
With it’s fixed frequency PWM architecture, and easily syn-
chronized drive, the MIC2185 is ideal for noise-sensitive
telecommunicationsapplications. Thenominal400kHzoper-
ating frequency of the MIC2185 can be divided by two,
allowing the device to be externally synchronized to frequen-
cies below 400kHz.

cies at light load conditions.
Applications
• 3.3V to 5V conversion in telecom systems
• Satellite Phones
The MIC2185 is available in a 16 pin SOIC package and 16
pin QSOP package with an ambient temperature operating
range from –40°C to 85°C.
• Cable Modems
• 1-and 2-cell Li Ion battery operated equipment
