MIC4685
3A SPAK SuperSwitcher™
Buck Regulator
General Description
The MIC4685 is a high-efficiency 200kHz stepdown (buck)
switching regulator. Power conversion efficiency of above
85% is easily obtainable for a wide variety of applications.
The MIC4685 achieves 3A of continuous current in the
7-pin SPAK package.
The thermal performance of the SPAK allows it to replace
TO-220s and TO-263s (D
2
PAKs) in many applications.
The SPAK saves board space with a 36% smaller footprint
than TO-263.
High-efficiency is maintained over a wide output current
range by utilizing a boost capacitor to increase the voltage
available to saturate the internal power switch. As a result
of this high-efficiency, only the ground plane of the PCB is
needed for a heat sink.
The MIC4685 allows for a high degree of safety. It has a
wide input voltage range of 4V to 30V (34V transient),
allowing it to be used in applications where input voltage
transients may be present. Built-in safety features include
over-current protection, frequency-foldback short-circuit
protection, and thermal shutdown.
The MIC4685 is available in a 7-pin SPAK package with a
junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on
Micrel’s web site at www.micrel.com.

Bootstrap (BS, Pin 1)
The bootstrap pin, in conjunction with the external
bootstrap capacitor, provides a bias voltage higher than
the input voltage to the MIC4685’s main NPN pass
element. The bootstrap capacitor sees the dv/dt of the
switching action at the SW pin as an AC voltage. The
bootstrap capacitor then couples the AC voltage back to
the BS pin, plus the dc offset of V
IN
where it is rectified and
used to provide additional drive to the main switch; in this
case, a NPN transistor.
This additional drive reduces the NPN’s saturation voltage
and increases efficiency, from a V
SAT
of 1.8V, and 75%
efficiency to a V
SAT
of 0.5V and 88% efficiency
respectively.
Feedback (FB, Pin 3)
The feedback pin is tied to the inverting side of an error
amplifier. The noninverting side is tied to a 1.235V
bandgap reference. An external resistor voltage divider is
required from the output-to-ground, with the center tied to
the feedback pin. See Tables 1 and 2 for recommended
resistor values.
Enable (EN, Pin 5)
The enable (EN) input is used to turn on the regulator and
is TTL compatible. Note: connect the enable pin to the
input if unused. A logic-high enables the regulator. A logic-
low shuts down the regulator and reduces the stand-by
quiescent input current to typically 150µA. The enable pin
has an up-per threshold of 2.0V minimum and lower
threshold of 0.8V maximum. The hysterisis provided by the
upper and lower thresholds acts as an UVLO and prevents
unwanted turn on of the regulator due to noise.
Detailed Pin Description
Switch (SW, Pin 6)
The switch pin is tied to the emitter of the main internal
NPN transistor. This pin is biased up to the input voltage,
minus the V
SAT
, of the main NPN pass element. The
emitter is also driven negative when the output inductor’s
magnetic
field
collapses at turn-off. During the OFF time,
the SW pin is clamped by the output Schottky diode
typically to a –0.5V.
Ground (GND, Pin 4, Tab)
There are two main areas of concern when it comes to the
ground pin, EMI and ground current. In a buck regulator or
any other non-isolated switching regulator, the output
capacitor(s) and diode(s) ground is referenced back to the
switching regulator’s or controller’s ground pin. Any
resistance between these reference points causes an
offset voltage/IR drop proportional to load current and poor
load regulation. This is why it’s important to keep the
output grounds placed as close as possible to the
switching regulator’s ground pin. To keep radiated EMI to
a minimum, it is necessary to place the input capacitor
ground lead as close as possible to the switching
regulator’s ground pin.
Input Voltage (V
IN
, Pin 2)
The V
IN
pin is the collector of the main NPN pass element.
This pin is also connected to the internal regulator. The
output diode or clamping diode should have its cathode as
close as possible to this point to avoid voltage spikes
adding to the voltage across the collector.

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. 2.5V of headroom is required between V
IN
and V
OUT
. The headroom can be reduced by implementing a bootstrap diode as seen on the 5V to 3.3V
circuit on page 1.
