MIC2199 Evaluation Board
300kHz SO-8 Synchronous Buck Control IC
Introduction
Micrel’s MIC2199 is a high power 300kHz synchronous buck
DC-DC controller housed in a small 4mm x 4mm MLF™
12-lead package. The MIC2199 operates from a wide 4.5V to
32V input and can be programmed for output voltages from
0.8V to 6V. The wide input voltage capability makes the
MIC2199 an ideal solution for point-of-load DC-to-DC con-
version in 5V, 12V and higher systems.
The 300kHz switching frequency allows the use of small
inductor and small output capacitors. The current mode PWM
control along with external COMP pin allows for ease of
stability compensation and fast transient response across a
wide range of applications.
An all N-Channel synchronous architecture and powerful
output drivers allow up to 20A of output current capability. For
smaller external components, refer to the 500kHz MIC2198.
MIC2199 Evaluation Board Input/Output Voltages and
Load Current
The MIC2199 evaluation board is designed to operate from
V
IN
= 5V to 12V at an output voltage of 1.5V, 2.5V, or 3.3V at
a load current of up to 5A. This evaluation board can easily be
modified to handle up to 32V
IN
by changing the input capaci-
tor voltage rating; and handle higher load current by parallel-
ing MOSFETs in the Q3 and Q4 slots and lowering the sense
resistor value to handle higher load current. Consult the
MIC2199 data sheet for more information.

Quick-Start Guide
Refer to Figure 1 for the following:
1. Connect the positive terminal from the power
supply to V
IN
post (J1) on the MIC2199 evalua-
tion board.
2. Connect the GND terminal of the input power
supply to GND (J2).
3. Connect a digital voltmeter across V
OUT
(J3)
and GND (J4) to measure output voltage.
4. Program the output voltage by selecting jumper
JP1 to be in 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.5V position.
5. After turning the input supply on, the output
voltage should read the programmed output
voltage.
