MIC2168
1MHz PWM Synchronous Buck Control IC
General Description
The MIC2168 is a high-efficiency, simple to use 1MHz PWM
synchronous buck control IC housed in a small MSOP-10
package. The MIC2168 allows compact DC/DC solutions
with a minimal external component count and cost.
The MIC2168 operates from a 3V to 14.5V input, without the
need of 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 MIC2168 senses current across the high-side N-Chan-
nel MOSFET, eliminating the need for an expensive and
lossy current-sense resistor. Current limit accuracy is main-
tained by a positive temperature coefficient that tracks the
increasing R
DS(ON)
of the external MOSFET. Further cost
and space are saved by the internal in-rush-current limiting
digital soft-start.
The MIC2168 is available in a 10-pin MSOP package, with a
wide junction operating range of –40°C to +125°C.
All support documentation can be found on Micrel’s web

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 / Enable (Input): Current-limit comparator noninverting input.
The current 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): Dual function pin. Pin for external compensation. If
this pin is pulled below 0.2V, with the reference fully up the device shuts
down (50µA typical current draw).
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
MOSFET. When V
IN
is between 3.0V to 5V, 2.5V threshold-rated 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.
