MIC22405
4A Integrated Switch High-Efficiency
Synchronous Buck Regulator with
Frequency Programmable upto 4MHz
General Description
The Micrel MIC22405 is a high efficiency, 4A integrated
switch synchronous buck (step-down) regulator. The
MIC22405 is optimized for highest efficiency, achieving
more than 95% efficiency while still switching at 1MHz.
The ultra-high speed control loop keeps the output voltage
within regulation even under the extreme transient load
swings commonly found in FPGAs and low-voltage ASICs.
The output voltage is pre-bias safe and can be adjusted
down to 0.7V to address all low-voltage power needs.
The MIC22405 offers a full range of sequencing and
tracking options. The Enable/Delay (EN/DLY) pin,
combined with the Power Good (PG) pin, allows multiple
outputs to be sequenced in any way during turn-on and
turn-off. The Ramp Control™ (RC) pin allows the device to
be connected to another product in the MIC22xxx and/or
MIC68xxx family, to keep the output voltages within a
certain
∆V
on start-up.
®
The MIC22405 is available in a 20-pin 3mm x 4mm MLF
with a junction operating range from –40°C to +125°C.

Description
PG (Output): This is an open drain output that indicates when the output voltage is below 90% of
its nominal voltage. The PG flag is asserted without delay when the enable is set low or when the
output goes below the 90% threshold.
Adjustable frequency with external capacitor. Refer to table 2.
Compensation Pin (Input): The MIC22405 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.
Feedback: Input to the error amplifier. The FB pin is regulated to 0.7V. A resistor divider
connecting the feedback to the output is used to adjust the desired output voltage.
Signal Ground: Internal signal ground for all low power circuits.
Signal Power Supply Voltage (Input): This pin is connected externally to the PVIN pin. A 2.2µF
ceramic capacitor from the SVIN pin to SGND must be placed next to the IC.
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 a PVIN pin.
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.

Description
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.
No Connect: Leave this pin open. Do not connect to ground or route other signal through this.
Ramp Control: A capacitor from the RC pin-to-ground determines slew rate of output voltage
during start-up. The RC pin is internally fed with a 1µA current source. The output voltage tracks
the RC pin voltage. The slew rate is proportional by the internal 1µA source and RC pin
capacitor. This feature can be used for tracking capability as well as soft start.
Exposed Pad (Power): Must be connected to the GND plane for full output power to be realized.
