MIC2168A
1MHz PWM Synchronous Buck-Control IC
General Description
The MIC2168A is a high-efficiency, simple to use 1MHz PWM synchronous buck-control IC housed in a small MSOP-10 package. The MIC2168A allows compact DC/DC solutions with a minimal external component count and cost.
The MIC2168A 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 MIC2168A senses current across the high-side NChannel MOSFET, eliminating the need for an expensive and lossy current-sense resistor.
