MIC2185
Low Voltage Synchronous Boost PWM Control IC
General Description
Micrel’s MIC2185 is a high efficiency synchronous boost
PWM control IC. With its wide input voltage range of 2.9V to
14V, the MIC2185 can be used to efficiently boost voltages
in 1- or 2-cell Li Ion battery powered applications, as well as
fixed 3.3V and 5V systems. Its powerful 5Ω output drivers
allow the MIC2185 to supply large output currents with the
selection of the proper external MOSFETs.
With it’s fixed frequency PWM architecture, and easily
synchronized drive, the MIC2185 is ideal for noise-sensi-
tive telecommunications applications. The nominal 400kHz
operating frequency of the MIC2185 can be divided by two,
allowing the device to be externally synchronized to frequen-
cies below 400kHz.
The MIC2185 also features a low current shutdown mode
and a programmable undervoltage lockout. A skipped pulse
mode of operation can be manually set to achieve higher
efficiencies at light load conditions.
The MIC2185 is available in a 16 pin SOIC package and 16
pin QSOP package with an ambient temperature operating
range from –40°C to 85°C.

SKIP
Pin Function
Input voltage to control circuitry (2.9V to 14V).
Skip (Input): Regulator operates in PWM mode (no pulse skipping) when
pin is pulled low, and skip mode when raised to VDD. There is no automatic
switching between PWM and skip mode available on this device.
Soft Start (External Component) : Reduces the inrush current and delays
and slows the output voltage rise time. A 5µA current source will charge the
capacitor up to VDD.
Compensation (Output): Internal error amplifier output. Connect to a capaci-
tor or series RC network to compensate the regulator’s control loop.
Small Signal Ground (Return) : Must be routed separately from other
grounds to the (–) terminal of C
OUT
.

COMP

EN/UVLO
Feedback (Input) : Regulates FB to 1.245V.
Enable/Undervoltaqe 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 (typical) the output switching is disabled,
and below 0.9V (typical) the device is forced into a complete micropower
shutdown. The 1.5V threshold functions as an accurate undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) with 140mV hysteresis.
Voltage Reference (Output) : The 1.245V reference is available on this pin.
A 0.1µF capacitor should be connected form this pin to SGnd.
Current Sense (Input) : The (+) input to the current limit comparator. A built
in offset of 100mV (typical) between CSH and SGnd 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 SGND with 1µF. Maximum source current is 0.5mA.
Frequency Synchronization (Input): Connect an external clock signal to
synchronize the oscillator. Leading edge of signal above 1.4V (typical) starts
switching cycle. Connect to SGND if not used.
MOSFET Driver Power Ground (Return) : Connects bottom of current sense
resistor and the (–) terminal of C
IN
.
N-Channel Drive (Output) : High current drive for n-channel MOSFET. Volt-
age swing is from ground to V
IN
P. On-resistance is typically 5Ω.

P-Channel Drive (Output) : High current drive for the synchronous p-channel
MOSFET. Voltage swing is from ground to V

Frequency Divider (Input) : When this pin is low, the oscillator frequency is
400KHz. When this pin is raised to VDD, the oscillator frequency is 200KHz.
Gate Drive Voltage (Input) : This is the power input to the gate drive cir-
cuitry (2.9V to 14V). This pin is typically connected to the output voltage to
enhance gate drive.

The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended.
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 tempera-
ture, T
J(max)
, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature, T
A
.
See application information for limitations on maximum operating frequency.
