MIC2207 Evaluation Board

3mm 2MHz Buck Converter
General Description
The Micrel MIC2207 is a high efficiency PWM buck
(step-down) regulator that provides up to 3A of output
current. The MIC2207 operates at 2MHz and has
proprietary internal compensation that allows a closed
loop bandwidth of over 200 KHz
The low on-resistance internal p-channel MOSFET of
the MIC2207 allows efficiencies over 94% and reduces
external component count and eliminates the need for
an expensive current sense resistor.
The MIC2207 operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input and the
output can be adjusted down to 1V. The devices can
operate with a maximum duty cycle of 100% for use in
low-dropout conditions.
Requirements
The MIC2207 evaluation board requires an input power
source that is able to deliver greater than 2.7V at over
3A. The output load can either be an active or passive
source.
Precautions
The evaluation board does not have reverse polarity
protection. Applying a negative voltage to the V
IN
terminal may damage the device.
In addition, the maximum operating voltage of the
MIC2207 evaluation board is 5.5V. Exceeding 6V on the
input could damage the device.
For short circuit
testing, an additional input capacitor over 22uF is
required.
This is preferably an electrolytic, but may be
tantalum or ceramic. When using long test leads to
provide power to the device, the inductance can be over
1uH. During a short circuit condition, the high peak
currents through the test leads may cause the input
voltage to spike and exceed the absolute maximum
rating of 6V, possibly damaging the device.
Getting Started
1.
Connect an external supply to V
IN
. Apply
desired input voltage to the V
IN
and ground
terminals of the evaluation board, paying careful
attention to polarity and supply voltage
(2.7V<V
IN
<5.5V). An ammeter may be placed
between the input supply and the V
IN
terminal to
the evaluation board. Ensure the supply voltage
is monitored at the V
IN
terminal. The ammeter
and/or power lead resistance can reduce the
voltage supplied to the input.
2.
Connect the load to the V
OUT
and ground
terminals.
The load can be either passive
(resistive) or active (as in an electronic load). An
ammeter can be placed between the load and
the V
OUT
terminal. Ensure the output voltage is
monitored at the V
OUT
terminal. The default
output voltage is set to 1.8V. This can be
adjusted by changing the feedback resistors.
See “Output Voltage.”
3.
Enable the MIC2207.
Apply a 1.3V or greater
voltage source to the enable pin.
