MIC2169 General Description
The MIC2169 is a high-efficiency, simple to use 500kHz PWM synchronous buck control IC housed in a small MSOP- 10 package. The MIC2169 allows compact DC/DC solutions with a minimal external component count and cost.
The MIC2169 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.
The MIC2169 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 RDS(ON) of the external MOSFET. Further cost and space are saved by the internal in-rush-current limiting
digital soft-start.
The MIC2169 is available in a 10-pin MSOP package, with a wide junction operating range of 40°C to +125°C.
