MIC2177 General Description
The Micrel MIC2177 is a 200kHz synchronous buck (stepdown) switching regulator designed for high-efficiency, battery- powered applications.
The MIC2177 operates from a 4.5V to 16.5V input and features internal power MOSFETs that can supply up to 2.5A output current. It can operate with a maximum duty cycle of 100% for use in low-dropout conditions. It also features a shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current to less than 5A.
The MIC2177 achieves high efficiency over a wide output current range by switching between PWM and skip mode. Operating mode is automatically selected according to output conditions. Switching frequency is preset to 200kHz and can be synchronized to an external clock signal of up to 300kHz.
The MIC2177 uses current-mode control with internal current sensing. Current-mode control provides superior line regulation and makes the regulator control loop easy to compensate.
The output is protected with pulse-by-pulse current limiting and thermal shutdown. Undervoltage lockout turns the output off when the input voltage is less than 4.5V.
The MIC2177 is packaged in a 20-lead wide power SO package with an operating temperature range of 40°C to +85°C.
