MIC2225
2MHz 600mA Synchronous Buck
Regulator with 300mA LDO
General Description
The Micrel MIC2225 is a dual output regulator featuring a
high efficiency 2MHz PWM synchronous buck (step-down)
regulator and a 300mA LDO. The MIC2225 is an ultra-low
noise, small size, and high efficiency solution for portable
power applications, providing core and I/O supply rails for
applications like application processors, camera DSPs and
multimedia chipsets.
In PWM mode, the MIC2225 operates with a constant
2MHz frequency. The MIC2225 switching regulator
operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input and features internal
power MOSFETs that can supply up to 600mA output
current in PWM mode.
The MIC2225 is available in the 10-pin 2mm x 2mm Thin
MLF
®
package with a junction operating range from –40°C
to +125°C.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on
Micrel’s web site at: www.micrel.com.

Pin Function
Analog (signal) Ground.
LDO Output (Output): Connect to a 2.2µF output capacitor.
Internal circuit bias supply. Must be de-coupled to signal ground with a 0.1µF
capacitor and should not be loaded.
Analog Supply Voltage (Input): Supply voltage for the analog control circuitry
and LDO input power. Requires bypass capacitor to GND. It must be tied to
VIN.
Feedback. Input to the error amplifier. For the Adjustable option, connect to the
external resistor divider network to set the output voltage. For fixed output
voltage options, connect to V
OUT
and an internal resistor network sets the output
voltage.
Enable (Input). Logic low will shut down the switching regulator reducing the
quiescent current to less than 5µA.
Enable LDO (Input): Logic low will shut down the LDO, reducing the quiescent
current to less than 5µA.
Supply Voltage (Input): Supply voltage for the internal switches and drivers.
Switch (Output): Internal power MOSFET output switches.
Power Ground.

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, 1.5k 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.
