MIC2194
400kHz SO-8 Buck Control IC
General Description
Micrel’s MIC2194 is a high efficiency PWM buck control IC
housed in the SO-8 package. Its 2.9V to 14V input voltage
range allows it to efficiently step down voltages in 3.3V, 5V,
and 12V systems as well as 1- or 2-cell Li Ion battery powered
applications. The flexible architecture of the MIC2194 allows
for it to be configured as a buck or a buck-boost converter.
The MIC2194 solution saves valuable board space. The
device is housed in the space-saving SO-8 package, whose
low pin-count minimizes external components. Its 400kHz
PWM operation allows a small inductor and small output
capacitors to be used. The MIC2194 can implement all-
ceramic capacitor solutions.
The MIC2194 drives a high-side P-channel MOSFET. A low
output driver impedance of 2Ω allows the MIC2194 to drive
large external MOSFETs to generate a wide range of output
currents. The MIC2194 can achieve maximum duty cycles of
100%, which can be useful in low headroom applications.
The MIC2194 is available in an 8 pin SOIC package with a
junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

Pin Function
Compensation (Output): Internal error amplifier output. Connect to a
capacitor or series RC network to compensate the regulator’s control loop.
Feedback (Input): The circuit regulates this pin to 1.245V.
Enable/Undervoltage Lockout (Input): A low level on this pin will power down
the device, reducing the quiescent current to under 0.5µA. This pin has two
separate thresholds, below 1.5V the output switching is disabled, and below
0.9V the device is forced into a complete micropower shutdown. The 1.5V
threshold functions as an accurate undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with
hysteresis.
The (–) input to the current limit comparator. A built-in offset of 110mV
between VIN and CSL in conjunction with the current sense resistor sets the
current limit threshold level. This is also the (–) input to the current amplifier.
3V internal linear-regulator output. VDD is also the supply voltage bus for the
chip. Bypass to GND with 1µF.
Ground.
High current drive for the synchronous N-channel MOSFET. Voltage swing
is from ground to VIN. On-resistance is typically 3Ω @ 5V
IN
.
Input voltage to the circuit. Also the high side input to the current sense
amplifier supplies power to the gate drive circuit.

Note 1.
Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when
operating the device outside of its operating ratings. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction
temperature, T
J(Max)
, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature, T
A
.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Devices are ESD sensitive, handling precautions required. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
