MIC2207
3mmx3mm 2MHz 3A PWM Buck
Regulator
General Description
The Micrel MIC2207 is a high efficiency PWM buck
(step-down) regulators that provides up to 3A of
output current. The MIC2207 operates at 2MHz and
has proprietary internal compensation that allows a
closed loop bandwidth of over 200KHz.
The low on-resistance internal p-channel MOSFET
of the MIC2207 allows efficiencies over 94%,
reduces external components count and eliminates
the need for an expensive current sense resistor.
The MIC2207 operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input and
the output can be adjusted down to 1V. The devices
can operate with a maximum duty cycle of 100% for
use in low-dropout conditions.
The MIC2207 is available in the exposed pad 3mm x
3mm MLF-12L package with a junction operating
range from –40°C to +125°C.

Feedback. Input to the error amplifier, connect to the external resistor divider
network to set the output voltage.
No Connect. Not internally connected to die. This pin can be tied to any other pin
if desired.
Enable (Input). Logic level low will shutdown the device, reducing the current
draw to less than 5uA.

Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model: 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
4. Specification for packaged product only.
5. Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value that is initially
measured at a 1V differential. For outputs below 2.7V, the dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage differential with a minimum
input voltage of 2.7V.
