MIC2177
2.5A Synchronous Buck Regulator General Description Features 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
5ВµA.
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-pin wide power SO
package with an operating temperature range of –40°C to
+85В°C. …
