MIC2245
4MHz PWM Synchronous Buck
Regulator with LDO Standby Mode
General Description
The Micrel MIC2245 is a high efficiency 4MHz pulse
width modulated (PWM) synchronous buck (step-
down) regulator that features a
LOWQ™
LDO
standby mode that draws only 18µA of quiescent
current. The MIC2245 allows an ultra-low noise,
small size, and high efficiency solution for portable
power applications.
In PWM mode, the MIC2245 operates with a
constant frequency 4MHz PWM control. Under light
load conditions, such as in system sleep or standby
modes, the PWM switching operation can be
disabled to reduce switching losses. In this light
load
LOWQ™
mode, the LDO maintains the output
voltage and draws only 18µA of quiescent current.
The LDO mode of operation saves battery life while
not introducing spurious noise and high ripple as
experienced with pulse skipping or bursting mode
regulators.
The MIC2245 operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V input
voltage and features internal power MOSFETs that
can supply up to 500mA output current in PWM
mode. It can operate with a maximum duty cycle of
100% for use in low-dropout conditions.
The MIC2245 is available in the 10-pin 3mm x 3mm
MLF™ package with a junction operating range from
–40°C to +125°C.

Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model: 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
Specification for packaged product only.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value that is initially
measured at a 1V differential. For outputs below 2.7V, the dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage differential with a minimum input
voltage of 2.7V.
