MIC4576
200kHz Simple 3A Buck Regulator
General Description
The MIC4576 is a series of easy to use fixed and adjustable
BiCMOS step-down (buck) switch-mode voltage regulators.
The 200kHz MIC4576 duplicates the pinout and function of
the 52kHz LM2576. The higher switching frequency may
allow up to a 2:1 reduction in output filter inductor size.
The MIC4576 is available in 3.3V, and 5V fixed output ver-
sions or a 1.23V to 33V adjustable output version. Both
versions are capable of driving a 3A 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 con-
ditions. 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 mini-
mum number of external components and can operate using
a standard series of inductors. Frequency compensation is
provided internally.
The MIC4576 is available in TO-220 (T) and TO-263 (U)
packages for the industrial temperature range.
Features
• Fixed 200kHz operation
• 3.3V, 5V, and adjustable output versions
• Voltage over specified line and load conditions:
Fixed version: ±3% max. output voltage
Adjustable version: ±2% max. feedback voltage
• Guaranteed 3A switch current
• Wide 4V to 36V input voltage range
• Wide 1.23V to 33V output voltage range
• Requires minimum external components
• < 200µA typical shutdown mode
• 75% efficiency (adjustable version > 75% typical)
• Standard inductors are 25% of typical LM2576 values
• Thermal shutdown
• Overcurrent protection
• 100% electrical thermal limit burn-in
