MIC5167
1MHz, 6A, Integrated Switch,
High-Efficiency, Synchronous Buck
DDR Memory Terminator
General Description
The MIC5167 is a high-efficiency, 6A, integrated switch,
synchronous regulator designed for use as a double data
rate (DDR) or quad data rate (QDR) terminator. The
MIC5167 is optimized for highest efficiency, achieving
more than 94% efficiency while still switching at 1MHz
over a broad range. The device works with a small 0.4µH
inductor and 300µF output capacitor. The MIC5167 offers
a simple, low-cost, JEDEC-compliant solution for
terminating high-speed, low-voltage, digital buses (i.e.
DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L, DDR3UL, DDR4, SCSI, GTL,
SSTL, HSTL, LV-TTL, LV-PECL, and LV_ECL) with a
Power-Good (PG) output.
The output voltage is controlled externally by input to the
VDDQ pin. The output voltage is one-half the voltage
applied to the VDDQ pin. The output voltage can be
adjusted down to 0.6V to address low-voltage power
needs. The MIC5167 will source 6A and sink up to 6A.
A window comparator monitors the output voltage and
controls the PG output. If the output voltage is outside
±15% limit of VREF the PG is driven low.
®
The MIC5167 is available in a 24-pin 4mm x 4mm MLF
with a junction operating range from –40°C to +125°C.

Pin Description
Pin Number
1, 6, 13, 18
Pin Name
PVIN
Description
Power Supply Voltage (Input): The PVIN pins are the input supply to the internal P-Channel
Power MOSFET. A 22µF ceramic is recommended for bypassing at each PVIN pin. The SVIN
pin must be connected to the PVIN pin.
Enable/Delay (Input): This pin is internally fed with a 1µA current source from SVIN. A delayed
turn on is implemented by adding a capacitor to this pin. The delay is proportional to the capacitor
value. The internal circuits are held off until EN/DLY reaches the enable threshold of 1.24V. This
pin is pulled low when the input voltage is lower than the UVLO threshold.
VDDQ (Input): VDDQ is connected to an internal precession divider which provides the reference
voltage (VREF).
VTT Reference (Output): This output provides an output of the internal reference voltage
VDDQ/2. Connect a 100pF capacitor to ground at this pin.
PG (Output): This is an open drain output that indicates when the output voltage is within ±15%
of its nominal voltage. The PG flag is asserted without delay when the enable is set low or when
the output goes outside ±15% the window threshold.
Feedback (Input): Input to the error amplifier.
Compensation pin (Input): The MIC5167 uses an internal compensation network containing a
fixed-frequency zero (phase lead response) and pole (phase lag response) which allows the
external compensation network to be much simplified for stability. The addition of a single
capacitor and resistor to the COMP pin will add the necessary pole and zero for voltage mode
loop stability using low value, low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Signal Ground: Internal signal ground for all low power circuits.

Description
Signal Power Supply Voltage (Input): This pin is connected externally to the PVIN pin. A 22µF
ceramic capacitor from the SVIN pin to SGND must be placed next to the IC.
Power Ground: Internal ground connection to the source of the internal N-Channel MOSFETs.
Switch (Output): This is the connection to the drain of the internal P-Channel MOSFET and drain
of the N-Channel MOSFET. This is a high-frequency, high-power connection; therefore traces
should be kept as short and as wide as practical.
Exposed Pad (Power): Must be connected to a GND plane for full output power to be realized.
