4mm Synchronous Buck Controller
General Description
The MIC2198 is a high-power 500kHz synchronous buck
DC-to-DC controller housed in a small 4mm
×
4mm MLF™
12-pin package. The MIC2198 operates from a wide 4.5V
to 32V input and can be programmed for output voltages
from 0.8V to 6V. The wide input voltage capability makes
the MIC2198 an ideal solution for point-of-load DC-to-DC
conversion in 5V, 12V and higher systems.
The 500kHz switching frequency allows the use of a small
inductor and small output capacitors. The current mode PWM
control along with the external COMP pin allows for ease of
stability compensation and fast transient response across a
wide range of applications.
An all N-Channel synchronous architecture and powerful
output drivers allow up to 20A of output current capability.
For higher efficiency at higher input voltages, refer to the
300kHz MIC2199.
The MIC2198 is available in a 12-pin 4mm
×
4mm MLF™
package with a junction temperature range from –40°C to
125°C.

Pin Function
Compensation (Output): Internal error amplifier output. Connect to capacitor
or series RC network to compensate the regulator control loop.
Enable/Undervoltage Lockout (Input): Low-level signal powers down the
controller. Input below the 2.5V threshold disables switching and functions as
an accurate undervoltage lockout (UVLO). Input below the threshold forces
complete micropower (<0.1µA) shutdown.
Feedback (Input): Regulates FB pin to 0.8V. See “Applications Information”
for resistor divider calculations.
Current-Sense High (Input): Current limit comparator non-inverting input. A
built-in offset of 75mV between CSH and V
OUT
pins in conjunction with the
current-sense resistor set the current limit threshold level. This is also the
non-inverting input to the current sense amplifier.
Current-Sense Low (Input): Output voltage feedback input and inverting
input for the current limit comparator and the current sense amplifier.
Unregulated Input (Input): +4.5V to +32V supply input.
5V Internal Linear-Regulator (Output): V
DD
is the external MOSFET gate
drive supply voltage and internal supply bus for the IC. Bypass to GND with
4.7µF.
Low-Side Drive (Output): High-current driver output for low-side N-Channel
MOSFET. Voltage swing is between ground and V
DD
.
Boost (Input): Provides drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET driver. The
drive voltage is higher than the input voltage by V
DD
minus a diode drop.
Switch (Return): High-side MOSFET driver return.
High-Side Drive (Output): High-current driver output for high-side MOSFET.
This node voltage swing is between ground and V
IN
+5V minus a diode drop.

Functional Description
The MIC2198 is a BiCMOS, switched-mode, synchronous
step-down (buck) converter controller. Current-mode control
is used to achieve superior transient line and load regulation.
An internal corrective ramp provides slope compensation
for stable operation above a 50% duty cycle. The controller
is optimized for high-efficiency, high-performance DC-DC
converter applications.
The MIC2198 block diagram is shown above.
The MIC2198 controller is divided into 5 functions.
• Control loop
• Current limit
• Reference, enable and UVLO
• MOSFET gate drive
• Oscillator
Control Loop
The MIC2198 operates in PWM (pulse-width-modulation)
mode. In PWM mode, the synchronous buck converter
forces continuous current to flow in the inductor which also
improves cross regulation of transformer coupled, multiple
output configurations.
PWM Control Loop
The MIC2198 uses current-mode control to regulate the output
voltage. This method senses the output voltage (outer loop)
and the inductor current (inner loop). It uses inductor current
and output voltage to determine the duty cycle of the buck
converter. Sampling the inductor current removes the inductor
from the control loop, which simplifies compensation.
A block diagram of the MIC2198 PWM current-mode control
loop is shown in Figure 2 and the PWM mode voltage and
current waveform is shown in Figure 3. The inductor current
is sensed by measuring the voltage across the resistor, R
CS
.
