MIC4574
0.5A, 200 kHz Buck Regulator
Features
General Description
• Fixed 200 kHz Operation
The MIC4574 is a series of easy to use fixed and
adjustable BiCMOS step-down (buck) switch-mode
voltage regulators. The 200 kHz MIC4574 duplicates
the pinout and function of the 52 kHz LM2574. The
higher switching frequency may allow up to a 2:1
reduction in output filter inductor size.
• 3.3V, 5V, and Adjustable Output Versions
• Voltage over Specified Line and Load Conditions:
- Fixed Version: ±3% Max. Output Voltage
- Adjustable Version: ±2% Max. Feedback
Voltage
The MIC4574 is available in 3.3V and 5V fixed output
versions or a 1.23V to 20V adjustable output version.
Both versions are capable of driving a 0.5A load with
excellent line and load regulation.
• Guaranteed 0.5A Switch Current
• Wide 4V to 24V Input Voltage Range
• Wide 1.23V to 20V Output Voltage Range
• Requires Minimum External Components
• <200 µA Typical Shutdown Mode
The feedback voltage is guaranteed to ±2% tolerance
for adjustable versions, and the output voltage is
guaranteed to ±3% for fixed versions, within specified
voltages and load conditions. The oscillator frequency
is guaranteed to ±10%.
• 75% Efficiency (Adjustable Version >75% typ.)
• Standard Inductors and Capacitors are 25% of
Typical LM2574 Values
In shutdown mode, the regulator draws less than
200 μA standby current. The regulator performs
cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown
for protection under fault conditions.
• Thermal Shutdown
• Overcurrent Protection
• 100% Electrical Thermal Limit Burn-In
This series of simple switch-mode regulators requires
a minimum number of external components and can
