MIC2111B
High-Performance, Multi-Mode,
Step-Down Controller
General Description
Features
Micrel’s MIC2111B is a programmable-frequency, valleycurrent/voltage-mode PWM controller that provides the
control and protection features necessary for power
devices and drivers that use current sensing across the
inductor. The MIC2111B can provide single tri-state PWM
logic signal to work with either power-stage modules or
discrete driver and MOSFETs. The device has precision
enable and power-good (PG) functions for sequencing of
multiple power supplies. In addition, the solution is
compatible with intelligent power stages in a high-current,
step-down DC/DC converter.
• Single 3.3V or 5V supply
• Supports load currents up to 40A
• Programmable valley-current/voltage-mode PWM
architecture
• 3.3V logic PWM output compatible with power-stage
modules and DrMOS modules
• Single tri-state PWM output
• Programmable switching frequency: 200kHz to 2MHz.
• Differential remote sensing for output voltage and
inductor current

output
• Adjustable soft-start/soft-stop and pre-biased safe
startup.
• Supports light load and outside audio modes
• Programmable slope compensation and loop
compensation
• Enable input, power-good (PG) output for sequencing
• Programmable OCP, output OVP, thermal OTP, and
dedicated FAULTb pin for system safe startup/stop
• Internal thermal shutdown and UVLO
• –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range
• Available in 20-pin 3mm × 3mm TQFN package
To optimize system size and system efficiency, the
MIC2111B frequency can be programmed from 200kHz to
2MHz. The device operates in power-saving mode at light
loads by reducing frequency. Optional outside audio range
operation is possible when the power-stage is configured
in light load mode. The solution uses differential current
sensing for better current-limit accuracy and a dedicated
differential amplifier for remote output sensing for accurate
output voltage control. The MIC2111B has a high-gain
transconductance amplifier for loop compensation.
External slope compensation can be added through a
resistor to avoid sub-harmonic oscillations. Other features
include programmable OCP, output OVP, and thermal
OTP protections. The MIC2111B offers Micrel’s proprietary
bi-directional, single wire fault communication for total
system protection.
The MIC2111B is available in a 20-pin 3mm × 3mm TQFN
package and has a junction temperature range of –40°C to
+125°C.

MIC2111B
Functional Description
This slope compensation ramp is then added to comp
signal to avoid sub-harmonic oscillations for duty cycles
of less than 50%.
The MIC2111B is a pin-programmable control-mode,
single-phase PWM buck controller. The control mode can
be programmed to either valley current mode or voltage
mode through a single pin. The device provides the
control and protection features necessary for driving
intelligent power stages in high-current, step-down,
DC/DC converters. The MIC2111B is also compatible
with DrMOS power stages and drivers that use current
sensing across the inductor. The MIC2111B provides a
single tri-state, PWM logic signal that works with either
power-stage modules or discrete-driver MOSFETs. It has
precision enable and power good (PG) functions for
sequencing of multiple power supplies and its frequency
can be programmed from 200kHz to 2MHz thereby
optimizing system size and system efficiency.
Calculation of RSLOPE can be found in the Application
Information section.
Voltage Mode
The MIC2111B can also be configured as voltage-mode
control scheme for noise sensitive applications. Controlloop compensation is external for providing maximum
flexibility in choosing the operating frequency and output
LC filter components. Ramp is generated by connecting a
resistor between VIN and SLOPE. An internal
transconductance error amplifier produces an integrated
error voltage at COMP that helps to provide higher DC
accuracy. The voltage at COMP sets the duty cycle using
a PWM comparator and a ramp generator. On the rising
edge of an internal clock, the PWM turns on. During this
ON time, inductor current ramps up. Internal comparator
turn OFF PWM once appropriate duty cycle is reached.
During this time inductor releases the stored energy as
the inductor current ramps down, providing current to the
output.
The device supports power-saving mode at light loads
when the MODE pin of the power stage is connected to
GND. Optional outside audio range operation is also
possible when the power stage is configured in light load
mode. The MIC2111B uses differential current sensing
for better current-limit accuracy. It also uses a dedicated
differential amplifier for remote output sensing to achieve
accurate output voltage control. The MIC2111B has a
high-gain transconductance amplifier for easier loop
compensation. External slope compensation can be
added through a resistor to avoid sub-harmonic
oscillations. The MIC2111B has programmable OCP,
output OVP and thermal OTP protections and offers
Micrel’s proprietary bi-directional, single-wire fault
communication for total system protection.
Oscillator Frequency
The MIC2111B has an internal oscillator wherein the
frequency can be set through an external resistor at the
FREQ pin. The switching frequency can be programmed
from 200kHz to 2MHz using Equation 1:
11
Control Architecture
The MIC2111B is a pin-programmable multi-mode,
single-phase PWM buck controller that can be operated
under valley-current-mode and voltage-mode control
architectures.
RFREQ = 10 /FSW [Ω]
Where:
FSW = Desired switching frequency in Hz.
Valley Current Mode
When MIC2111B is programmed to a fixed-frequency,
valley current mode control architecture, the inductor
current is sensed by the voltage drop measured across
the DCR of the inductor (MIC2111B). The current is
sensed during the off period of the switching cycle and is
conditioned with the internal current sense amplifier. The
gain of the current sense amplifier is 30 V/V. The output
signal of the current sense amplifier is compared with the
current programmed by the error amplifier to determine
the correct duty cycle. Slope compensation is added via a
resistor between VIN and the SLOPE pin. The MIC2111B
generates a (VIN –VOUT) proportional current and passes it
through a capacitor to generate the slope compensation
ramp.

PWM Modes and Logic Levels
There are multiple versions of power stages currently on
the market that support different load currents. These
include DrMOS and other intelligent power-stages. All
these power stages contain a MOSFET driver, high-side
and low-side MOSFETs. These power stages require a
single tri-stated PWM control signal for control and
protection (Table 1).

Current limit can be programmed through an external
resistor connected at the LS pin. The MIC2111B provides
two selectable current-limit thresholds. During start-up, a
current source of 8µA is injected into the external resistor
connected between the LS pin and GND. The voltage
developed across the resistor is measured as part of the
power-up sequence and the current threshold determined
as illustrated in Table 2.
Once the voltage has been measured, the current source
is turned off. If LS is connected to the MODE pin of
DrMOS, current-limit setting resistance must be adjusted
for the input resistance of the MODE pin.
Many high-current applications require hiccup mode
protection for current limit because they can see peak
load currents for a very short duration. The MIC2111B
uses a proprietary hiccup current-limit algorithm to avoid
inductor saturation. An internal counter increments by
two in each cycle over current is detected, and
decrements by one each cycle when the current is not
over the limit. When the counter reaches 16, the part will
shut down and wait for 8ms before restarting again
(Figure 2 and Figure 3).
The MIC2111B will output a PWM signal on the HS pin
with levels of 0 (turn on the low-side driver) and 1 (turn on
the high-side driver). HS will be turned high-impedance
(tri-state) when a fault condition exists which should be
interpreted by the power stage to turn-off both the highside driver and low-side driver. MIC2111B supports 3.3V
logic-compatible PWM thresholds on HS. These levels
can found in the “Oscillator and PWM” section within the
Electrical Characteristics.
Programmable Current-Limit and Hiccup Mode
MIC2111B has a dedicated current-sense amplifier and
can support high load currents up to 40A in single-phase
configuration. The MIC2111B also features differential
current sense input pins (ISEN+ and ISEN−).

With the MIC2111B, it is possible to sense current across
inductor DCRs for low-cost applications. As the DCR of
the inductor will be less than 1mΩ for a high-current
application, the MIC2111B features a current-sense
amplifier with a gain of 30V/V. This amplified signal is
used for control and cycle-by-cycle current limit. These
high-current applications need thermal compensation
from the current-sense signal because of DCR variation
with temperature. External thermal compensation could
be provided using a NTC resistor in series with the RC
across the inductor. See Application Information for more
details about thermal compensation and filter
calculations.

MIC2111B
VCC Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The MIC2111B operates from a single 3.3V or 5V supply
and has only 2mA of quiescent current. When bias
voltage at VCC is less than the under-voltage lockout
(UVLO) level of 2.85V, HS will be high impedance to
drive both MOSFETs to tri-state. UVLO has 100mV
hysteresis to avoid an undesirable turn-on. If the same
supply voltage is used for the power module and the
MIC2111B, it is recommended to use a series RC filter
(1Ω and 1µF) for MIC2111B bypassing.
Soft-Start/Soft-Stop (SS)
The MIC2111B has digital soft-start/soft-stop (SS) to
avoid high inrush current in the input supply lines. Softstart time can be programmed with an external resistor
connected from the SS pin to GND. Table 3 illustrates
resistor values and soft start time. Soft-stop time is the
same as the programmed soft-start time (contact Micrel
for instructions on enabling soft-stop).
Table 3. Soft-Start Programming
Enable/Disable (EN) Control
The precision EN pin is used to enable or disable the
MIC2111B. The typical threshold is 1.2V. When the
voltage at EN rises above the threshold, the controller is
enabled and starts normal operation after initialization of
the internal oscillator, references, current-limit settings,
and the soft-start period. The MIC2111B has initialization
delay of 250µs before the PWM output starts.
When the voltage at EN drops 100mV or more
(hysteresis) below the threshold voltage, then the internal
controller circuits in the MIC2111B are turned off. It is
possible to use the EN pin for sequencing multiple power
supplies along with power-good (PG) pin. Do not float the
EN pin. An external RC delay may be added to achieve
sequencing.

Power Good (PG)
The power-good (PG) pin is an open-drain output.
External pull-up resistance is required between PG and
an external voltage. When the feedback voltage, VFB,
rises above the PG threshold the PG output is pulled high
after a delay of 200μs (contact Micrel for other PG
delays).
Bi-Directional Fault Communication (FAULTb)
The MIC2111B adopts Micrel’s proprietary fault
(FAULTb) communication protocol. There are multiple
system faults possible in a high-current environment. The
MIC2111B features internal pull-up of 100kΩ between the
VCC and FAULTb pin.

MIC2111B
Light Load Operation (DCM)
The MIC2111B supports pulse-skip mode for good light
efficiency. Connecting the MODE or SMOD# pin of the
power module to GND is required to enable the light-load
mode. To avoid discharging the output during light-load
mode, the power module zero current detector disables
the low-side FET once inductor current reaches zero. The
MIC2111B generates the next PWM signal based on
COMP voltage. This will cause discontinuous conduction
mode at the switch node as shown below.
Figure 7. Outside Audio Waveform
Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The MIC2111B has a dedicated pin for overvoltage
protection (OVP). The OVP pin senses the output voltage
through a voltage divider. If this voltage is higher than the
reference voltage, the overvoltage protection engages
and FAULTb is pulled low.
This OVP function typically protects against open
feedback loop or VFB short-to-GND. This will protect the
costly load from being damaged by the DC/DC converter.
The OVP level can be programmed through a resistive
divider at the OVP pin as follows. Select R4 same as
lower feedback resistor. R1 can be calculated based
upon required OVP level as illustrated in Equation 1 and
Figure 8.
Figure 6. Light Load Operation (DCM)
Outside Audio Operation
Some systems require outside audio operation during
light-load mode. When the system load reduces during
light-load mode, the system will change from CCM to
DCM and, as the load reduces further, the switching
frequency reduces as well. If the effective switching
frequency reduces below a certain threshold, the
MIC2111B will enter outside audio mode, attempting to
maintain the effective switching frequency above the
audio band. For the outside audio mode to function, the
LS output of the MIC2111B must be connected to the
MODE pin of the DrMOS. While in this mode, if the
MIC2111B detects that the period between HS pulses is
longer than 32µs it forces LS a logic-1, which turns on the
low-side driver. This results in current flowing from the
output capacitor through the inductor and low-side
MOSFET. This can cause the output voltage to fall and
initiate a PWM cycle with HS going high and LS going
low.

Slope Compensation
Slope compensation is required in most conditions for
current-mode PWM controllers. The MIC2111B applies
slope compensation dependent on the system input
voltage, output voltage and inductance by a single resistor.
The resistor is connected between VIN and the SLOPE
pin.
Eq. 4
If the R7 x C1 time constant is equal to the L/RL time
constant, then the voltage across capacitor C1 equals RL x
IL. Figure 12 is a plot of Equation 4. It assumes an
inductance of 1.5µH, RL = 0.01Ω (−40dB), C1 = 0.1µF and
R7 = 1.5kΩ. The time constants are equal and diverge at
the same rate. The overall impedance, H(s), equals RL for
all frequencies.
In VCM, 1x slope compensation is implemented by
selecting the following resistor value:
RSLOPE

Loop Compensation
Because slope compensation is not needed in voltage
mode, the SLOPE pin is used to generate the sawtooth
ramp. A 1V peak-to-peak ramp at the PWM comparator
input is implemented by selecting the following resistor
value:
RSLOPE

KSLOPE

T

VOUT

Current Mode (Type II Method)
The MIC2111B uses an internal transconductance error
amplifier wherein the output compensates the control loop.
The
external
inductor,
output
capacitor,
slope
compensation resistor and compensation network all
determine the loop stability. The inductor and output
capacitors are chosen based on performance, size, and
cost. The MIC2111B is configured in a valley current-mode
control scheme when the SEL pin is connected to AGND.
In this mode, the MIC2111B regulates the output voltage
by forcing the required current through the external
inductor. Current-mode control eliminates the double pole
in the feedback loop which is caused by the inductor and
output capacitor. This will result in a smaller phase shift
and requires less elaborate error-amplifier compensation
than voltage-mode control. A simple series RC and CC is all
that is needed to have a stable, high-bandwidth loop in
applications where ceramic capacitors are used for output
filtering. For other types of capacitors, due to the higher
capacitance and ESR, the frequency of the zero created
by the capacitance and ESR is lower than the desired
closed-loop crossover frequency. To stabilize a nonceramic output-capacitor loop, one would need to add
another compensation capacitor from COMP to GND as it
cancels this ESR to zero. The basic regulator loop is
modeled as a power modulator, an output feedback divider
and an error amplifier.
10
The power modulator has DC gain (AMOD(DC)), is set by RL,
(output load, equivalent resistance) with a pole and zero
pair set by RL, the output capacitor (COUT) and its
equivalent series resistance (RESR). Equation 9 defines the
power modulator (Figure 16)

The feedback voltage-divider has a gain of AFB = VFB/VOUT,
where VFB is equal to 0.6V.The transconductance error
amplifier has a DC gain, AEA(DC) = gmEA × RO, where gmEA is
the error-amplifier transconductance, which is equal to
2ms, and RO is the output resistance of the error amplifier,
which is 50MΩ. A dominant pole (ƒpdEA) is set by the
compensation capacitor (CC), the amplifier output
resistance (RO), and the compensation resistor (RC); a
zero (ƒzEA) is set by the compensation resistor (RC) and the
compensation capacitor (CC). There is an optional pole
(ƒpEA) set by CCƒ and RC to cancel the output capacitor

Equation 22 assumes crossover frequency to be much
less than half of the switching frequency. There is a
sampling effect at the half switching frequency which
introduces the double pole. For high crossover
applications, it is recommended to run a bode plot to
optimize the transient response.
The loop-gain crossover frequency (fO), where the loop
th
gain equals 1 (0dB) should be set below 1/10 of the
switching frequency as in:
ƒO ≤
Voltage Mode (Type III Method)
The MIC2111B provides an internal transconductance
amplifier with the inverting input (FB) and the output
(COMP) available for external frequency compensation.
The flexibility of external compensation allows for a wide
selection of output filtering components, especially the
output capacitor. The use of high-ESR aluminum
electrolytic capacitors is recommended for cost sensitive
applications. Use low-ESR POSCAPs or ceramic
capacitors at the output for size sensitive applications. The
high switching frequency of the MIC2111B allows the use
of ceramic capacitors at the output. Choose all passive
power components to meet the output ripple, component
size, and component cost requirements. Choose the
compensation components for the error amplifier to
achieve the desired closed-loop bandwidth and phase
margin.
In order to maintain a stable system, two stability criteria
must be met:
1. The phase shift at the cross-over frequency (ƒO,) must
be less than 180°. In other words, the phase margin of
the loop must be greater than zero.
2. The gain at the frequency where the phase shift is
−180° (gain margin) must be less than 1.
Maintain a phase margin of around 60° to achieve a robust
loop stability and well-behaved transient response.
When using an electrolytic or large-ESR POSCAP output
capacitor the capacitor ESR zero (ƒZO) typically occurs
between the LC poles and the crossover frequency ƒO (ƒPO
< ƒZO < ƒO). Choose Type II Proportional and Integral (PI)
compensation network as previously specified.
In a buck converter, the LC filter in the output stage
introduces a pair of complex poles at the following
frequency:
1
2π × L × C OUT
Eq. 21
Choosing a lower cross-over frequency reduces the effects
of noise pick-up into the feedback loop, such as jitter duty
cycle.
To choose the appropriate compensation network type, the
power supply poles and zeroes, the zero crossover
frequency, and the type of the output capacitor must be
determined first.
ƒ PO =
ƒ SW
10
When using a ceramic or low-ESR tantalum output
capacitor the capacitor ESR zero typically occurs above
the desired crossover frequency ƒO (ƒPO < ƒZO < ƒO).
Choose Type III proportional, integral, and derivative (PID)
compensation network.
Eq. 19
The output capacitor introduces a zero at:
ƒ ZO =
1
2π × R ESR × C OUT
Eq. 20
where RESR is the equivalent series resistance of the
output capacitor.

3. Use the second pole (fP2) to cancel ƒZO when ƒPO < ƒO <
ƒZO < ƒSW /2. The frequency response of the loop gain
does not flatten out soon after the 0dB crossover, and
maintains −20dB/decade slope up to 1/2 of the
switching frequency. This is likely to occur if the output
capacitor is a low-ESR tantalum. Set ƒP2 = ƒZO.
Ensure that R2 >/gm and the parallel resistance of R1, R3,
and R4 is greater than 1/gM. Otherwise, a 180° phase shift
is introduced to the response making the loop unstable.
Use the following compensation procedures:
1. With R9 ≥ 10kΩ, place the first zero (ƒZ1) at 0.8 × ƒPO:
1
ƒ Z1 =
= 0.8 × ƒ PO
2π × R9 × C2
When using a ceramic capacitor the capacitor ESR
zero fZO is likely to be located even above one half of
the switching frequency, ƒPO < ƒO < ƒSW/2 < ƒZO. In this
case, place the frequency of the second pole (ƒP2)
high enough in order not to erode significantly the
phase margin at the crossover frequency. For
example, set fP2 at 5 × ƒO so that the contribution to
phase loss at the crossover frequency ƒO is only about
11°:

So,
C2 =

2π × R9 × 0.8 × ƒ PO
