MIC2169
500kHz PWM Synchronous Buck Control IC
General Description
The MIC2169 is a high-efficiency, simple to use 500kHz PWM
synchronous buck control IC housed in a small MSOP-10
package. The MIC2169 allows compact DC/DC solutions
with a minimal external component count and cost.
The MIC2169 operates using a 3V to 14.5V input, without
the need for any additional bias voltage. The output voltage
can be precisely regulated down to 0.8V. The adaptive all
N-Channel MOSFET drive scheme allows efficiencies, over
95%, across a wide load range.
The MIC2169 senses current across the high-side N-Channel
MOSFET, eliminating the need for an expensive and lossy
current-sense resistor. Current limit accuracy is maintained
via a positive temperature coefficient that tracks the increas-
ing R
DS(ON)
of the external MOSFET. Additional cost and
space are saved by the internal in-rush-current limiting and
digital soft-start.
The MIC2169 is available in a 10-pin MSOP package, with a
wide junction operating range of –40°C to +125°C.

Pin Function
Supply Voltage (Input): 3V to 14.5V.
5V Internal Linear Regulator (Output): V
DD
is the external MOSFET gate
drive supply voltage and an internal supply bus for the IC. When V
IN
is <5V,
this regulator operates in dropout mode.
Current Sense (Input): Current-limit comparator noninverting input. The cur-
rent limit is sensed across the MOSFET during the ON time. The current can
be set by the resistor in series with the CS pin.
Compensation (Input): Pin for external compensation. .
Feedback (Input): Input to error amplifier. Regulates error amplifier to 0.8V.
Ground (Return).
Low-Side Drive (Output): High-current driver output for external synchro-
nous MOSFET.
Switch (Return): High-side MOSFET driver return.
High-Side Drive (Output): High-current output-driver for the high-side MOS-
FET. When V
IN
is between 3.0V to 5V, 2.5V threshold MOSFETs should be
used. At V
IN
> 5V, 5V threshold MOSFETs should be used.
Boost (Input): Provides the drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET driver.
The gate-drive voltage is higher than the source voltage by V
IN
minus a
diode drop.

Notes:
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 maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive
die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
2. Devices are ESD sensitive, handling precautions required.
3. Specification for packaged product only.
4. Guaranteed by design.
