MIC2208
3mmx3mm 1MHz 3A PWM Buck
Regulator
General Description
The Micrel MIC2208 is a high efficiency PWM buck
(step-down) regulator that provides up to 3A of
output current. The MIC2208 operates at 1MHz and
has external compensation that allows a closed loop
bandwidth of over 100KHz.
The low on-resistance internal p-channel MOSFET
of the MIC2208 allows efficiencies over 94%,
reduces external component count and eliminates
the need for an expensive current sense resistor.
The MIC2208 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 MIC2208 is available in the exposed pad 3mm x
3mm MLF-12L package with a junction operating
range from –40°C to +125°C.

Pin Function
Switch (Output): Internal power P-Channel MOSFET output switch
Supply Voltage (Input): Supply voltage for the source of the internal P-channel
MOSFET and driver.
Requires bypass capacitor to GND.
Power Ground. Provides the ground return path for the high-side drive current.
Signal Ground. Provides return path for control circuitry and internal reference.
Internal circuit bias supply. Must be bypassed with a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor to
SGND.
Feedback. Input to the error amplifier, connect to the external resistor divider
network to set the output voltage.
Compensation. This is the internal error amplifier output. Connect external
compensation components for type II or type III compensation.
Enable (Input). Logic level low will shutdown the device, reducing the current
draw to less than 5uA.
Power Good. Open drain output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage
is within +/- 7.5% of the set regulation voltage
Connect to ground.
