The MIC2877 is a compact and highly efficient 2 MHz
synchronous boost regulator with a typically 6.5A
switch. It features a bidirectional true load disconnect
function that prevents any leakage current between the
input and output when the device is disabled
(EN = GND), it protects the input supply and improves
the start-up performance.
The MIC2877 has the input voltage range between
2.5V and 5.5V and provides a 2A output continuous
current for V
IN
= 3.0V and V
OUT
= 5V. Fixed and
adjustable versions are available.
The MIC2877 operates in Bypass mode automatically
when the input voltage is higher or equal to the target
output voltage. At light loads, the boost converter goes
to Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) mode to
improve the efficiency. In Shutdown mode (EN = GND),
the regulator typically consumes less than 2 µA.
The MIC2877 also features an integrated anti-ringing
switch to minimize EMI, overvoltage and overcurrent
protection, UVLO and thermal shutdown.
The MIC2877 is available in an 8-pin FTQFN 2 x 2 mm
package.
