MIC3385
8MHz Inductorless Buck Regulator
with LDO Standby Mode
General Description
The Micrel MIC3385 is a high-efficiency inductorless buck
®
regulator that features a
LOWQ
LDO standby mode that
draws only 18µA of quiescent current. The MIC3385
requires no external inductor enabling an ultra-low noise,
small size, and high efficiency solution for portable power
applications.
In PWM mode, the MIC3385 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 MIC3385 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 MIC3385 is available in the 14-pin 3mm x 3.5mm
®
MLF package with a junction operating range from –40°C
to +125°C.

Pin Function
Feedback. Input to the error amplifier. Connect to the external resistor divider network to set
the output voltage.
Supply Voltage (Input): Supply voltage for the internal switches and drivers.
Enable LDO Mode (Input): Logic low enables the internal LDO and disables the PWM
operation. Logic high enables the PWM mode and disables the LDO mode.
Enable (Input). Logic low will shut down the device, reducing the quiescent current to less
than 5µA.
Switch Output after inductor.
Switch (Output): Internal power MOSFET output switches before Inductor
Power Ground. Requires input capacitor to GND.
Analog Supply Voltage (Input): Supply voltage for the analog control circuitry and LDO input
power. Requires bypass capacitor to GND.
LDO Output (Output): Connect to V
OUT
for LDO mode operation.
Internal circuit bias supply. Must be de-coupled to signal ground with a 0.1µF capacitor and
should not be loaded.

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.
