MIC2202
High Efficiency 2MHz Synchronous Buck
Converter 1µF Stable PWM Regulator
General Description
Features
TheMicrelMIC2202isahighefficiency2MHzPWMsynchro-
nous buck regulator. The fast 2MHz operation along with a
proprietary compensation scheme allows the smallest pos-
sible external components. The MIC2202 can operate with
a 1µF ceramic output capacitor and a small, low DC-resis-
tance, 2.2µH inductor, reducing system size and cost while
allowing a high level of efficiency.
• Input voltage range: 2.3V to 5.5V
• Output down to 0.5V/600mA
• 2MHz PWM operation
• Stable with 1µF ceramic output capcitor.
• Ultra-fast transient response (up to 500kHz GBW)
• Internal compensation
• All ceramic capacitors
• >95% efficiency
The MIC2202 operates from 2.3V to 5.5V input and features
internal power MOSFETs that can supply over 600mA of
output current with output voltages down to 0.5V. The
MIC2202 implements a constant 2MHz pulse- width-modu-
lation (PWM) control scheme which reduces noise in sensi-
tive RF, audio, and communications applications. Addition-
ally, the MIC2202 can be synchronized to an external clock,
or multiple MIC2202s can easily be daisy-chained with the
SYNCLOCK feature.
• Fully integrated MOSFET switches
• Easily synchronized to external clock
• SYNCLOCK feature to daisy chain multiple 2202s
• Requires only 4 external components
• 1% line and load regulation
• Logic controlled micropower shutdown
• Thermal shutdown and current limit protection
• 10-pin MSOP and 3mm×3mm MLF™-10L package
options
The MIC2202 has a high bandwidth loop (up to 500kHz)
which allows ultra fast transient response times. This is very
useful when powering applications that require fast dynamic
response such as CPU cores and RF circuitry in high
performance cellular phones and PDAs.
• –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range
Applications
• Cellular phones
• PDAs
The MIC2202 is available in 10-pin MSOP and 3mm × 3mm
MLF™-10L package options with an operating junction
temperature range from –40°C to +125°C .
• 802.11 WLAN power supplies
• FPGA/ASIC power supplies
• Dynamically adjustable power supply for CDMA/W-
CDMA RF power amps
• DSL modems
• Tape drives
