MIC2245
4MHz PWM Synchronous Buck
Regulator with LDO Standby Mode
General Description
Features
The Micrel MIC2245 is a high efficiency 4MHz pulse
width modulated (PWM) synchronous buck (stepdown) regulator that features a LOWQ™ LDO
standby mode that draws only 18µA of quiescent
current. The MIC2245 allows an ultra-low noise,
small size, and high efficiency solution for portable
power applications.
In PWM mode, the MIC2245 operates with a
constant frequency 4MHz PWM control. Under light
load conditions, such as in system sleep or standby
modes, the PWM switching operation can be
disabled to reduce switching losses. In this light
load LOWQ™ mode, the LDO maintains the output
voltage and draws only 18µA of quiescent current.
The LDO mode of operation saves battery life while
not introducing spurious noise and high ripple as
experienced with pulse skipping or bursting mode
regulators.
The MIC2245 operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V input
voltage and features internal power MOSFETs that
can supply up to 500mA output current in PWM
mode. It can operate with a maximum duty cycle of
100% for use in low-dropout conditions.
The MIC2245 is available in the 10-pin 3mm x 3mm
MLF™ package with a junction operating range from
–40°C to +125°C.

MIC2245
Functional Description
FB
The feedback pin (FB) provides the control path to
control the output. For adjustable versions, a resistor
divider connecting the feedback to the output is used
to adjust the desired output voltage. The output
voltage is calculated as follows:
VIN
VIN provides power to the MOSFETs for the switch
mode regulator section, along with the current
limiting sensing. Due to the high switching speeds,
a 1µF capacitor is recommended close to VIN and
the power ground (PGND) pin for bypassing. Please
refer to layout recommendations.
⎛ R1 ⎞
VOUT = VREF × ⎜
+ 1⎟
⎝ R2 ⎠
AVIN
Analog VIN (AVIN) provides power to the LDO
section. AVIN and VIN must be tied together.
Careful layout should be considered to ensure high
frequency switching noise caused by VIN is reduced
before reaching AVIN.
where VREF is equal to 1.0V.
A feedforward capacitor is recommended for most
designs using the adjustable output voltage option.
To reduce battery current draw, a 100K feedback
resistor is recommended from the output to the FB
pin (R1). Also, a feedforward capacitor should be
connected between the output and feedback (across
R1). The large resistor value and the parasitic
capacitance of the FB pin can cause a high
frequency pole that can reduce the overall system
phase margin. By placing a feedforward capacitor,
these effects can be significantly reduced. Typically
an 82pF small ceramic capacitor is recommended.
LDO
The LDO pin is the output of the linear regulator and
should be connected to the output. In LOWQ mode
(LOWQ<1.5V), the LDO provides the output voltage.
In PWM mode (LOWQ>1.5V), the LDO pin is high
impedance.
EN
The enable pin provides a logic level control of the
output. In the off state, supply current of the device
is greatly reduced (typically <1µA). Also, in the off
state, the output drive is placed in a "tri-stated"
condition, where both the high side P-channel
Mosfet and the low-side N-channel are in an “off” or
non-conducting state. Do not drive the enable pin
above the supply voltage.
SW
The switch (SW) pin connects directly to the inductor
and provides the switching current necessary to
operate in PWM mode. Due to the high speed
switching on this pin, the switch node should be
routed away from sensitive nodes.
PGND
Power ground (PGND) is the ground path for the
high current PWM mode. The current loop for the
power ground should be as small as possible and
separate from the Analog ground (AGND) loop.
Refer to the layout considerations for more details.
LOWQ
The LOWQ pin provides a logic level control
between the internal PWM mode and the low noise
linear regulator mode. With LOWQ pulled low
(<0.5V), quiescent current of the device is greatly
reduced by switching to a low noise linear regulator
mode that has a typical IQ of 20µA. In linear (LDO)
mode, the output can deliver 60mA of current to the
output. By placing LOWQ high (>1.5V), this
transitions the device into a constant frequency
PWM buck regulator mode. This allows the device
the ability to efficiently deliver up to 500mA of output
current at the same output voltage.
AGND
Signal ground (AGND) is the ground path for the
biasing and control circuitry. The current loop for the
signal ground should be separate from the Power
ground (PGND) loop. Refer to the layout
considerations for more details.
BIAS
The BIAS pin supplies the power to the internal
power to the control and reference circuitry. The
bias is powered from the input voltage through an
RC lowpass filter. The RC lowpass filter frequency
1
must be ≥

MIC2245
Applications Information
Output Capacitor
The MIC2245 is optimized for a 4.7µF output
capacitor. The MIC2245 utilizes type III internal
compensation and utilizes an internal high frequency
zero to compensate for the double pole roll off of the
LC filter. For this reason, larger output capacitors
can create instabilities. X5R or X7R dielectrics are
recommended for the output capacitor. Y5V
dielectrics lose most of their capacitance over
temperature and are therefore, not recommended.
The MIC2245 is a 500mA PWM power supply that
utilizes a LOWQ™ light load mode to maximize
battery efficiency in light load conditions. This is
achieved with a LOWQ control pin that when pulled
low, shuts down all the biasing and drive current for
the PWM regulator, drawing only 20µA of operating
current. This allows the output to be regulated
through the LDO output, capable of providing 60mA
of output current. This method has the advantage of
producing a clean, low current, ultra-low noise
output in LOWQ™ mode. During LOWQ™ mode,
the SW node becomes high impedance, blocking
current flow. Other methods of reducing quiescent
current, such as pulse frequency modulation (PFM),
or bursting techniques, create large amplitude, low
frequency ripple voltages that can be detrimental to
system operation.
In addition to a 4.7µF, a small 10nF is recommended
close to the load for high frequency filtering. Smaller
case size capacitors are recommended due to there
lower ESR and ESL.
Inductor Selection
The MIC2245 is designed for use with a 1.0µH
inductor. Proper selection should ensure the
inductor can handle the maximum average and peak
currents required by the load. Maximum current
ratings of the inductor are generally given in two
methods; permissible DC current and saturation
current. Permissible DC current can be rated either
for a 40°C temperature rise or a 10% to 20% loss in
inductance. Ensure that the inductor selected can
handle the maximum operating current. When
saturation current is specified, make sure that there
is enough margin that the peak current will not
saturate the inductor. Peak inductor current can be
calculated as follows:
When more than 60mA is required, the LOWQ pin
can be forced high, causing the MIC2245 to enter
PWM mode. In this case, the LDO output makes a
"hand-off" to the PWM regulator with virtually no
variation in output voltage. The LDO output then
turns off allowing up to 500mA of current to be
efficiently supplied through the PWM output to the
load.
Input Capacitor
A minimum 1µF ceramic is recommended on the
VIN pin for bypassing. X5R or X7R dielectrics are
recommended for the input capacitor. Y5V
dielectrics lose most of their capacitance over
temperature and are therefore, not recommended.

A minimum 1µF is recommended close to the VIN
and PGND pins for high frequency filtering. Smaller

lower ESR and ESL. Please refer to layout
recommendation section of data sheet for proper
layout of the input capacitor.
