MIC4720
3mm x 3mm 2.0MHz 2A Integrated
Switch Buck Regulator
General Description
The Micrel MIC4720 is a high efficiency PWM buck (step-
down) regulator that provides up to 2A of output current.
The MIC4720 operates at 2.0MHz and has proprietary
internal compensation that allows a closed loop bandwidth
of over 200KHz.
The low on-resistance internal p-channel MOSFET of the
MIC4720 allows efficiencies over 92%, reduces external
components count and eliminates the need for an
expensive current sense resistor.
The MIC4720 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.
The MIC4720 is available in the exposed pad 12-pin
3mm x 3mm MLF
®
and 10-pin ePad MSOP package with a
junction operating range from –40°C to +125°C.

Power Ground. Provides the ground return path for the high-side drive current.
Signal (Analog) Ground. Provides return path for control circuitry and internal
reference.
Internal circuit bias supply. Must be bypassed with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to
SGND.
Feedback. Input to the error amplifier, connect to the external resistor divider
network to set the output voltage.
No Connect. Not internally connected to die. This pin can be tied to any other pin
if desired.
Enable (Input). Logic level low, will shutdown the device, reducing the current
draw to less than 5µA.
Power Good. Open drain output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage
is within +/- 7.5% of the set regulation voltage
Connect to ground.
