Microchip | MIC2168YMM

The MIC2168YMM is a high-efficiency, simple to use 1 MHz PWM synchronous buck control IC housed in a small MSOP-10 package. The MIC2168 allows compact DC/DC solutions with a minimal external component count and cost.

The MIC2168 operates from a 3 V to 14.5 V input, without the need of any additional bias voltage. The output voltage can be precisely regulated down to 0.8 V. The adaptive all NChannel MOSFET drive scheme allows efficiencies over 95% across a wide load range.

Features:

• 3 V to 14.5 V input voltage range
• Adjustable output voltage down to 0.8 V
• Up to 95% efficiency
• 1 MHz PWM operation
• Adjustable current-limit senses high-side N-Channel MOSFET current
• No external current sense resistor
• Adaptive gate drive increases efficiency
• Ultra-fast response with hysteretic transient recovery mode
• Overvoltage protection protects the load in fault conditions
• Dual mode current limit speeds up recovery time
• Hiccup mode short-circuit protection
• Internal soft-start
• Dual function COMP and EN pin allows low-power shutdown
• Small size MSOP 10-lead package

Applications:

• Point-of-load DC/DC conversion
• Set-top boxes
• Graphic cards
• LCD power supplies
• Telecom power supplies
• Networking power supplies
• Cable modems and routers
