MIC22400
4A Integrated Switch Synchronous
Buck Regulator with Frequency
Programmable up to 4MHz
General Description
The Micrel MIC22400 is a high efficiency 4A integrated
switch synchronous buck (step-down) regulator. The
MIC22400 is optimized for highest efficiency and achieves
over 90% efficiency while still switching at 1MHz over a
broad load range. The ultra high speed control loop keeps
the output voltage within regulation even under extreme
transient load swings commonly found in FPGAs and low
voltage ASICs. The output voltage can be adjusted down
to 0.7V to address all low voltage power needs. A full
range of sequence options are available with the
MIC22400. The enable/delay pin combined with the power
good pin allows multiple outputs to be sequenced in any
way on turn on and turn off. The RC (Ramp Control™) pin
allows the device to be connected to another MIC22400
family of products to keep the output voltages within a
certain
∆V
on start up.
The MIC22400 is available in a 20-pin 3mm x 4mm MLF
®
and thermally enhanced 20-pin e-TSSOP with a junction
operating range from –40°C to +125°C.

Description
Power On Reset (Output): Open-drain output device indicates when the output is
out of regulation and is active after the delay set by the delay pin.
Adjustable frequency with external capacitor.
Not connected internally.
Compensation pin (Input): Place a RC to GND to compensate the device, see
applications section.
Feedback: Input to the error amplifier, connect to the external resistor divider
network to set the output voltage.
Signal Ground (Signal): Ground
Signal Power Supply Voltage (Input): Requires bypass capacitor to GND.
Power Supply Voltage (Input): Requires bypass capacitor to GND.
Power Ground (Signal): Ground
Switch (Output): Internal power MOSFET output switches.
Enable (Input): When this pin is pulled higher than the enable threshold, the part
will start up. Below this voltage the device is in its low quiescent current mode.
The pin has a 1µA current source charging it to VIN. By adding a capacitor to this
pin a delay may easily be generated. The enable function will not operate with an
input voltage lower than the min specified.
Delay (Input): Capacitor-to-ground sets internal delay timer. Timer delays power-
on reset (POR) output at turn-on and ramp down at turn-off.
Ramp Control: Capacitor to ground from this pin determines slew rate of output
voltage during start-up. This can be used for tracking capability as well as soft
start.
Exposed Pad (Power): Must make a full connection to a GND plane for full output
power to be released.
