MIC4575
200kHz Simple 1A Buck Regulator
General Description
The MIC4575 is a series of easy to use fixed and
adjustable BiCMOS step-down (buck) switch-mode voltage
regulators. The 200kHz MIC4575 duplicates the pinout
and function of the 52kHz LM2575. The higher switching
frequency may allow up to a 2:1 reduction in output filter
inductor size.
The MIC4575 is available in 3.3V, and 5V fixed output
versions or a 1.23V to 20V adjustable output version. Both
versions are capable of driving a 1A load with excellent
line and load regulation.
The feedback voltage is guaranteed to ±2% tolerance for
adjustable versions, and the output voltage is guaranteed
to ±3% for fixed versions, within specified voltages and
load conditions. The oscillator frequency is guaranteed to
±10%.
In shutdown mode, the regulator draws less than 200µA
standby current. The regulator performs cycle-by-cycle
current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection under
fault conditions.
This series of simple switch-mode regulators requires a
minimum number of external components and can operate
using a standard series of inductors. Frequency comp-
ensation is provided internally.
The MIC4575 is available in TO-220 (T) and TO-263 (U)
packages for the industrial temperature range.

MIC4575
A higher feedback voltage increases the error amplifier
output voltage. A higher error amplifier voltage
(comparator inverting input) causes the comparator to
detect only the peaks of the sawtooth, reducing the duty
cycle of the comparator output. A lower feedback voltage
increases the duty cycle.
Output Switching
When the internal switch is on, an increasing current
flows from the supply V
IN
, through external storage
inductor L1, to output capacitor C
OUT
and the load.
Energy is stored in the inductor as the current increases
with time.
When the internal switch is turned off, the collapse of the
magnetic field in L1 forces current to flow through fast
recovery diode D1, charging C
OUT
.
Output Capacitor
External output capacitor C
OUT
provides stabilization and
reduces ripple.
Return Paths
During the on portion of the cycle, the output capacitor
and load currents return to the supply ground. During the
off portion of the cycle, current is being supplied to the
output capacitor and load by storage inductor L1, which
means that D1 is part of the high-current return path.
Functional Description
The MIC4575 is a variable duty cycle switch-mode
regulator with an internal power switch. Refer to the
block diagrams.
Supply Voltage
The MIC4575 operates from a +4V to +24V unregulated
input. Highest efficiency operation is from a supply
voltage around +15V.
Enable/Shutdown
The shutdown (SHDN) input is TTL compatible. Ground
the input if unused. A logic-low enables the regulator. A
logic-high shuts down the internal regulator which
reduces the current to typically 50µA.
Feedback
Fixed versions of the regulator have an internal resistive
divider from the feedback (FB) pin. Connect FB directly
to the output line.
Adjustable versions require an external resistive voltage
divider from the output voltage to ground, connected
from the1.23V tap to FB.
Duty Cycle Control
A fixed-gain error amplifier compares the feedback
signal with a 1.23V bandgap voltage reference. The
resulting error amplifier output voltage is compared to a
200kHz sawtooth waveform to produce a voltage
controlled variable duty cycle output.
