Micrel MIC2810-4MSYML Digital power management ic 2mhz, 600ma dc/dc w/dual 300ma/300ma low vin ldo Datasheet

MIC2810
Digital Power Management IC
2MHz, 600mA DC/DC w/Dual
300mA/300mA Low VIN LDOs
General Description
The MIC2810 is a high performance power management
IC, integrating a 2MHz DC/DC switcher with two 300mA
LDOs. The MIC2810 features a LOWQ® mode, reducing
the total current draw while in this mode to less than 30µA.
In LOWQ® mode, the output noise of the DC/DC converter
is 53µVRMS, significantly lower than other converters that
use a PFM light load mode that can interfere with sensitive
RF circuitry.
The MIC2810 is a µCap design, operating with very small
ceramic output capacitors and inductors for stability,
therefore, reducing required board space and component
cost. It is available with fixed output voltages in a 16-pin
3mm x 3mm MLF® leadless package.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on
Micrel’s web site at: www.micrel.com.

Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. The maximum allowable power dissipation of any TA (ambient temperature) is PD(max) = (TJ(max) – TA) / θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5k in series with 100pF.
5. Specification for packaged product only.

LDO1
Regulated output voltage of LDO1. Power is provided by
VIN1. Recommended output capacitance is 2.2µF.
Device Functional Description
The MIC2810 is a power management IC with a single
integrated step-down regulator and two low dropout
regulators. LDO1 and LDO2 are 300mA low dropout
regulators supplied from the input voltage pins. The
step-down regulator is a 600mA PWM power supply. All
three regulators utilize a /LOWQ light load mode to
maximize battery efficiency under 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, along with reducing the current
limit of the two independent LDOs. When the /LOWQ pin
is pulled low, the MIC2810 draws only 30µA of operating
current. This mode allows the output to be regulated
through the LDO output which is 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 and low frequency ripple voltages
that can be detrimental to system operation.
When more than 60mA is required, the /LOWQ pin can
be forced high, causing the MIC2810 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
600mA of current to be efficiently supplied through the
PWM output to the load.
LDO2
Regulated output voltage of LDO2. Power is provided by
VIN2. Recommended output capacitance is 2.2µF.
EN/EN1/EN2
All enable inputs are active high, requiring 1.0V for
guaranteed operation. EN provides logic control for the
DC/DC regulator. EN2 provides logic control for LDO2,
and EN1 provides logic control for LDO1. The enable
inputs are CMOS logic and cannot be left floating.
The enable pins provide logic level control of the
specified outputs. When all enable pins are in the off
state, supply current of the device is greatly reduced
(typically <1µA). When the DC/DC regulator is 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 any of the enable pins above the
supply voltage.
Power-On Reset (POR)
The power-on reset output is an open-drain N-Channel
device, requiring a pull-up resistor to either the input
voltage or output voltage for proper voltage levels. The
POR output has a delay time that is programmable with
a capacitor from the CSET pin to ground. The delay time
can be programmed to be as long as 1 second.
Pin Functional Description
/LOWQ
The /LOWQ pin provides a logic level control between
the internal PWM switching regulator mode, and the low
noise linear regulator mode. With /LOWQ pulled low
(≤0.2V), quiescent current of the device is greatly
reduced by switching to a low noise linear regulator
mode that has a typical supply current of 38µA. In linear
(LDO) mode the output can deliver 60mA of current to
the output. By placing /LOWQ high (≥1V), the device
transitions into a constant frequency PWM step-down
regulator mode. This allows the device the ability to
efficiently deliver up to 600mA of output current at the
same output voltage.
/LOWQ mode also limits the output load of both LDO1
and LDO2 to <50mA.
VIN/VIN1/VIN2
Three input voltage pins provide power to the switch
mode regulator, LDO1, and LDO2. VIN provides power
to the control circuitry of the DC/DC converter and
voltage reference circuitry shared by all the regulators in
the MIC2810. LDO1’s input voltage (VIN1) can go down
to 1.65V but LDO2 and the DC/DC converter input
voltages are limited to 2.7V minimum.
For the switch mode regulator VIN provides power to the
MOSFET along with current limiting sense circuitry. Due
to the high switching speeds, a 4.7µF capacitor is
recommended close to VIN and the power ground
(PGND) pin for bypassing. Please refer to the PCB
layout section for an example of an appropriate circuit
layout.
BIAS
The BIAS pin supplies the power to the internal control
and reference circuitry. The bias is powered from VIN
through an internal 6Ω resistor. A small 0.1µF capacitor
is recommended for bypassing.
LDO
The LDO pin is the output of the linear regulator and
should be connected to the output of the step-down
PWM regulator. In /LOWQ mode (/LOWQ <0.2V), the
LDO provides the output voltage of the DC/DC regulator.

Input Capacitor
A minimum 1µF ceramic, 4.7µF recommended, should
be placed as close as possible to the VIN pin for optimal
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 case size capacitors are recommended due to
their lower ESR and ESL. Please refer to the PCB layout
section for an example of an appropriate circuit layout.
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.
Inductor Selection
The MIC2810 is designed for use with a 2.2µH 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:
SGND
Signal ground (SGND) is the ground path for the biasing
and control circuitry. The current loop for the signal
ground should be as small as possible.
CSET
The CSET pin is a current source output that charges a
capacitor that sets the delay time for the power-on reset
output from low to high. The delay for POR high to low
(detecting an undervoltage on any of the outputs) is
always minimal. The current source of 1.25µA charges a
capacitor up from 0V. When the capacitor reaches
1.25V, the output of the POR is allowed to go high. The
delay time in microseconds is equal to the Cset in
picofarads.

Output Capacitor
LDO1 and LDO2 outputs require a 2.2µF ceramic output
capacitor for stability. The DC/DC switch mode regulator
also requires a 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor to be
stable. All output capacitor values can be increased to
improve transient response, but performance has been
optimized for a 2.2µF ceramic on the LDOs and the
DC/DC regulator. X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic
capacitors are recommended because of their
temperature performance. X5R/X7R-type capacitors
change capacitance by 15% over their operating
temperature range and are the most stable type of
ceramic capacitors. Z5U and Y5V dielectric capacitors
change value by as much as 50% to 60% respectively
over their operating temperature ranges.
