MIC2184BQS-TR is a high efficiency PWM buck control IC. With its wide input voltage range of 2.9V to 14V, the MIC2184BQS-TR can be used to efficiently step voltages down in 1- or 2-cell Li-Ion battery powered applications, as well as in fixed 3.3V, 5V, or 12V systems.
Efficiencies over 90% are achievable over a wide range of load conditions with the MIC2184's PWM control scheme. The operating frequency can be divided by two by raising the FREQ/2 pin to VDD. This allows the user to optimize efficiency versus board space. It also allows the MIC2184BQS-TR to be externally synchronized to frequencies below its nominal 400KHz.
The MIC2184BQS-TR features an oscillator output, FreqOut, which can be used to implement a simple charge pump in low voltage applications. The output of the charge pump can be fed into the gate drive power circuitry via the VINP pin, allowing enhanced gate drive, hence higher efficiencies, despite low input voltages.
MIC2184BQS-TR features a 1µA shutdown mode, and a programmable undervoltage lockout, making it well suited for portable applications.
The MIC2184BQS-TR is available in a 16-pin SOP (small outline package) and QSOP package options with a junction temperture range range from -40°C to +125°C.
