MIC2253
3.5A 1MHz High Efficiency
Boost Regulator with OVP and Softstart
General Description
The MIC2253 is a high power density 1MHz PWM DC/DC
boost regulator. The 3.5A minimum switch current limit
combined with a 1MHz switching frequency allows the
MIC2253 to use smaller inductors and deliver high power
in a tiny solution size.
The 2.5V to 10V input voltage range of MIC2253 allows
direct operation from 1 and 2 cell Li-ion as well as 3 to 4
cell NiCad, NiMH, Alkaline or lithium batteries. Maximum
battery life is assured with a low 0.1µA shutdown current.
The MIC2253 is available in a low profile 12-pin 3mm x
3mm MLF
©
package. To prevent a high inrush current, a
minimum 1ms soft-start period is set by default and the
MIC2253 has the ability to extend the soft-start period with
an external capacitor.

Pin Function
No connect. Not internally connected.
Soft start (Input). Connect a capacitor to GND to slowly turn on the device. The
higher the capacitance, the longer the turn-on time.
Feedback (Input): Output voltage sense node. Connect external resistors to set
the output voltage. Nominal feedback voltage is 1.245V.
Analog Ground
Power Ground
Switch Node: Internal power BIPOLAR collector.
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP): Connect to the output voltage to clamp the
maximum output voltage. A resistor divider from this pin to ground could be
used to raise the OVP level beyond 6V (max).
Supply (Input): 2.5V to 10V for internal circuitry.
Enable (Input): Applying 1.5V or greater enables the regulator. Applying a
voltage of 0.4V or less disables the MIC2253. Do not leave floating.
Compensation pin (Input): Add external R and C to GND to stabilize the
converter.

Notes:
1. Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device outside of its operating ratings. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
J(Max)
, the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature, T
A
. The maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die
temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
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.
