MIC2183

Low Voltage Synchronous Buck PWM Control IC

Final Information

General Description

Micrel’s MIC2183 is a high efficiency PWM synchronous
buck control IC. With its wide input voltage range of 2.9V to
14V, the MIC2183 can be used to efficiently step voltages
down in 1- or 2-cell Li Ion battery powered applications, as
well as in fixed 3.3V, 5V, or 12V systems.

Efficiencies over 90% are achievable over a wide range of
load conditions with the MIC2183’s PWM control scheme.
The operating frequency can be divided by two by raising the
FREQ/2 pin to VDD. This allows the user to optimize efficiency
versus board space. It also allows the MIC2183 to be exter­nally synchronized to frequencies below its nominal 400KHz.

The MIC2183 features an oscillator output, FreqOut, which
can be used to implement a simple charge pump in low
voltage applications. The output of the charge pump can be
fed into the gate drive power circuitry via the V
feature allows enhanced gate drive, hence higher efficiencies
at low input voltages.

MIC2183 also features a 1µA shutdown mode, and a pro­grammable undervoltage lockout, making it well-suited for
portable applications.

The MIC2183 is available in 16-pin SOP and QSOP packag­ing options with a junction temperature range from -40°C to
+125°C.

Pin Description

Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function

1 VINA Analog voltage input voltage to the circuit. This powers up the analog

sections of the die and does not need to be the same voltage as Pin 16
(VINP).

2 FreqOut This provides a digital signal output signal at half the switching frequency.

This signal swings from 0 to 3V, and can be used to drive an external
capacitive doubler to provide a higher voltage to the VINP input.

3 SS Soft start reduces the inrush current and delays and slows the output voltage

rise time. A 5µA current source will charge the capacitor up to V
capacitor will soft start the switching regulator in 1.5ms.

4 COMP Compensation (Output): Internal error amplifier output. Connect to a

capacitor or series RC network to compensate the regulator’s control loop.

5 SGND Small signal ground: must be routed separately from other grounds to the (-)

terminal of C

OUT

.

6 FB Feedback Input - the circuit regulates this pin to 1.245V.
7 EN/UVLO Enable/UnderVoltage Lockout (input): A low level on this pin will power down

the device, reducing the quiescent current to under 5uA. This pin has two
separate thresholds, below 1.5V the output switching is disabled, and below

0.9V the part is forced into a complete micropower shutdown. The 1.5V
threshold functions as an accurate undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 140mV
hysteresis.

8 CSL The (-) input to the current limit comparator. A built in offset of 100mV

between CSH and CSL in conjunction with the current sense resistor sets
the current limit threshold level. This is also the (-) input to the current
amplifier.

9 CSH The (+) input to the current limit comparator. A built in offset of 100mV

between CSH and CSL in conjunction with the current sense resistor sets
the current limit threshold level. This is also the (+) input to the current
amplifier.

10 VDD 3V internal linear-regulator output. VDD is also the supply voltage bus for the

chip. Bypass to SGND with 1µF.

11 SYNC Frequency Synchronization (Input): Connect an external clock signal to

synchronize the oscillator. Leading edge of signal above 1.5V starts the
switching cycle. Connect to SGND if not used.

12 PGND MOSFET driver power ground, connects to source of synchronous MOSFET

and the (-) terminal of CIN.

13 OUTN High current drive for synchronous N channel MOSFET. Voltage swing is

from ground to V

. On-resistance is typically 5Ω.

INP

14 OUTP High current drive for high side P channel MOSFET. Voltage swing is from

ground to VINP. On-resistance is typically 5Ω.

15 FREQ/2 When this is low, the oscillator frequency is 400KHz. When this pin is raised

to VDD, the oscillator frequency is 200KHz.

16 VINP Power Input voltage to the circuit. The output gate drivers are powered from

this supply. The current sense resistor R
possible to this pin.
