Microchip Technology

The MIC2253 is a high power density 1MHz PWM DC/DC boost regulator. The 3.5A minimum switch current limit combined with a 1MHz switching frequency allows the MIC2253 to use smaller inductors and deliver high power in a tiny solution size. The 2.5V to 10V input voltage range of MIC2253 allows direct operation from 1- and 2-cell Li-Ion as well as 3- to 4-cell NiCad, NiMH, Alkaline, or lithium batteries. Maximum battery life is assured with a low 0.1µA shutdown current. To prevent a high inrush current, a minimum 1ms soft-start period is set by default and the MIC2253 has the ability to extend the soft-start period with an external capacitor.

The MIC22601 is a high efficiency 6A Integrated switch synchronous buck (step-down) regulator. The MIC22601 is optimized for highest efficiency (greater than 90%), while still switching at 4MHz over a broad load range with only 0.22 µH inductor and down to 22µF output capacitor. The ultra-high speed control loop keeps the output voltage within regulation even under extreme transient load swings commonly found in FPGAs and low voltage ASICs. The output voltage can be adjusted down to 0.7V to address all low voltage power needs. A full range of sequencing and tracking options is available with the MIC22601. The enable/delay pin, combined with the power good PG/POR pin, allows multiple outputs to be sequenced in any way during turn on and turn off. The RC (Ramp Control™) pin allows the device to be connected to another product in the MIC22xxx and/or MIC68xxx family, to keep the output voltages within a certain ∆V on start up.

The MIC22602 is a high efficiency 6A Integrated switch synchronous buck (step-down) regulator. The MIC22602 is optimized for highest efficiency, achieving more than 95% efficiency while still switching at 1MHz over a broad range. The device works with a small 1µH inductor and 100µF output capacitor. The ultra-high speed control loop keeps the output voltage within regulation even under extreme transient load swings commonly found in FPGAs and low voltage ASICs. The output voltage can be adjusted down to 0.7V to address all low voltage power needs. The MIC22602 offers a full range of sequencing and tracking options. The EN/DLY pin combined with the Power Good/POR pin allows multiple outputs to be sequenced in any way during turn-on and turn-off. The RC (Ramp Control™) pin allows the device to be connected to another product in the MIC22xxx and/or MIC68xxx family, to keep the output voltages within a certain ∆V on start up.

The MIC22700 is a high efficiency, 7A Integrated switch synchronous buck (step-down) regulator. The MIC22700 is optimized for highest efficiency. The device achieves more than 95% efficiency while still switching at 1MHz over a broad range. The device works with a small 1µH inductor and down to 47µF output capacitor. The ultra-high speed control loop keeps the output voltage within regulation even under extreme transient load swings commonly found in FPGAs and low voltage ASICs. The output voltage can be adjusted down to 0.7V to address all low voltage power needs. A full range of sequencing and tracking options is available with the MIC22700. The Enable/Delay pin combined with the Power Good/POR pin allows multiple outputs to be sequenced in any way during turn-on and turn-off. The RC (Ramp Control™) pin allows the device to be connected to another product in the MIC22xxx and/or MIC68xxx family, to keep the output voltages within a certain ∆V on start up.

The MIC2282 is a boost LED driver optimized for single cell operation from alkaline, NiMH, or Li-Ion batteries. The MIC2282 operates with an input voltage between 0.9V to 15V, driving a string of series LEDs up to 33V. The combination of a low feedback voltage of 220mV and an operating current of 120µA provides a high efficiency solution that prolongs battery life. The MIC2282 requires only five external components (diode, inductor, sense resistor, input capacitor, and output capacitor) to implement a low cost LED boost regulator. It is available in a compact 8-pin MSOP package with an operating range from -40°C to +125°C.

The MIC2285A is a high efficiency 8MHz PWM synchronous buck (step-down) regulator that features a LowQ® LDO standby mode that draws only 18µA of quiescent current. The MIC2285A allows an ultra-low noise, small size, and high efficiency solution for portable power applications. In PWM mode, the MIC2285A operates with a constant frequency 8MHz PWM control. Under light load conditions, such as in system sleep or standby modes, the PWM switching operation can be disabled to reduce switching losses. In this light load LowQ® mode, the LDO maintains the output voltage and draws only 18µA of quiescent current. The LDO mode of operation saves battery life while not introducing spurious noise and high ripple as experienced with pulse skipping or bursting mode regulators. The MIC2285A operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input and features internal power MOSFETs that can supply up to 600mA output current in PWM mode. It can operate with a maximum duty cycle of 100% for use in low-dropout conditions.

The MIC2287C is a 1.2MHz pulse width modulated (PWM), boost-switching regulator that is optimized for constant-current, white LED driver applications. With a maximum output voltage of 34V and a switch current of over 500mA, the MIC2287C easily drives a string of up to eight white LEDs in series, ensuring uniform brightness and eliminating several ballast resistors. The MIC2287C implements a constant frequency, 1.2MHz PWM control scheme. The high frequency PWM operation saves board space by reducing external component sizes. The added benefit of the constant frequency PWM scheme as opposed to variable frequency topologies is much lower noise and input ripple injected back to the battery source. To optimize efficiency, the feedback voltage is set to only 95mV. This reduces the power dissipation in the current set resistor and allows the lowest total output voltage, hence minimal current draw from the battery. The MIC2287C is available with three levels of overvoltage protection, 15V, 24V, and 34V. This allows designers to choose the smallest possible external components with the appropriate voltage ratings for their applications. The MIC2287C has a junction temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
