MIC2800 Digital Power Management IC 2MHz, 600mA DC/DC w/Dual 300mA/300mA Low VIN LDOs General Description The MIC2800 is a high performance power management IC, giving three output voltages with maximum efficiency. Integrating a 2MHz DC/DC converter with an LDO post regulator, the MIC2800 gives two high efficiency outputs with a second, 300mA LDO for maximum flexibility. The MIC2800 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 to DC converter is 75µVRMS, significantly lower than other converters which use a PFM light load mode that can interfere with sensitive RF circuitry. The DC to DC converter uses small values of L and C to reduce board space but still retains efficiencies over 90% at load currents up to 600mA. The MIC2800 is a µCap design, operating with very small ceramic output capacitors and inductors for stability, reducing required board space and component cost and it is available in fixed output voltages in the 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.

MIC2800 LDO1 Regulated output voltage of LDO1. Power is provided by the DCDC switching regulator. Recommended output capacitance is 2.2µF. Application Notes The MIC2800 is a digital power management IC with a single integrated buck regulator and two independent low dropout regulators. LDO1 is a 300mA low dropout regulator that is using power supplied by the on board buck regulator. LDO2 is a 300mA low dropout regulator using the supply from the input pin. The buck regulator is a 600mA 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. LDO2 Regulated output voltage of LDO2. Power is provided by VIN. Recommended output capacitance is 2.2µF. EN Both enable inputs are active high, requiring 1.0V for guaranteed operation. EN1 provides logic control of both the DCDC regulator and LDO1. EN2 provides logic control for LDO2 only. The enable inputs are CMOS logic and cannot be left floating. The enable pins provide logic level control of the specified outputs. When both enable pins are in the off state, supply current of the device is greatly reduced (typically <1µA). When the DCDC 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 either of the enable pins above the supply voltage. When more than 60mA is required, the /LOWQ pin can be forced high, causing the MIC2800 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. 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. VIN Two input voltage pins provide power to the switch mode regular and LDO2 separately. The LDO1 input voltage is provided by the DC/DC LDO pin. VIN provides power to the LDO section and the bias through an internal 6Ω resistor. Both VIN pins must be tied together. /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 (<0.2V), 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 (>1V), the device transitions into a constant frequency PWM buck regulator mode. This allows the device the ability to efficiently deliver up to 600mA of output current at the same output voltage. For the switch mode regulator VIN provides power to the MOSFET along with current limiting sensing. 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 layout recommendations. LDO The LDO pin is the output of the linear regulator and should be connected to the output. In /LOWQ mode (/LOWQ <0.2V), the LDO provides the output voltage. In PWM mode (/LOWQ >1V) the LDO pin provides power to LDO1. June 2006 /LOWQ mode also limits the output load of both LDO1 and LDO2 to 10mA. BIAS The BIAS pin supplies the power to the internal control and reference circuitry. The bias is powered from AVIN through an internal 6Ω resistor. A small 0.1µF capacitor is recommended for bypassing. 17 M9999-061406 (408) 955-1690 Micrel, Inc. MIC2800 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. X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. 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. FB Connect the feedback pin to VOUT. 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. Refer to the layout considerations for more details. 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 case size capacitors are recommended due to their lower ESR and ESL. Please refer to layout recommendations for proper layout of the input capacitor. 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. Refer to the layout considerations for more details. CSET The SET 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 micro seconds is equal to the Cset in picofarads. Inductor Selection The MIC2800 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: POR Delay (µs) = CSET (pF) CBYP The internal reference voltage can be bypassed with a capacitor to ground to reduce output noise and increase power supply rejection (PSRR). A quick-start feature allows for quick turn-on of the output voltage. The recommended nominal bypass capacitor is 0.1µF, but it can be increased, which will also result in an increase to the start-up time.
