MIC4575 200kHz Simple 1A Buck Regulator General Description Features The MIC4575 is a series of easy to use fixed and adjustable BiCMOS step-down (buck) switch-mode voltage regulators. The 200kHz MIC4575 duplicates the pinout and function of the 52kHz LM2575. The higher switching frequency may allow up to a 2:1 reduction in output filter inductor size. The MIC4575 is available in 3.3V, and 5V fixed output versions or a 1.23V to 20V adjustable output version. Both versions are capable of driving a 1A load with excellent line and load regulation. The feedback voltage is guaranteed to 2% tolerance for adjustable versions, and the output voltage is guaranteed to 3% for fixed versions, within specified voltages and load conditions. The oscillator frequency is guaranteed to 10%. In shutdown mode, the regulator draws less than 200A standby current. The regulator performs cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection under fault conditions. This series of simple switch-mode regulators requires a minimum number of external components and can operate using a standard series of inductors. Frequency compensation is provided internally. The MIC4575 is available in TO-220 (T) and TO-263 (U) packages for the industrial temperature range.

MIC4575 Functional Diagram Block Diagram with External Components Fixed Step-Down Regulator Block Diagram with External Components Adjustable Step-Down Regulator July 2009 4 M9999-072909 Micrel, Inc. MIC4575 A higher feedback voltage increases the error amplifier output voltage. A higher error amplifier voltage (comparator inverting input) causes the comparator to detect only the peaks of the sawtooth, reducing the duty cycle of the comparator output. A lower feedback voltage increases the duty cycle. Functional Description The MIC4575 is a variable duty cycle switch-mode regulator with an internal power switch. Refer to the block diagrams. Supply Voltage The MIC4575 operates from a +4V to +24V unregulated input. Highest efficiency operation is from a supply voltage around +15V. Output Switching When the internal switch is on, an increasing current flows from the supply VIN, through external storage inductor L1, to output capacitor COUT and the load. Energy is stored in the inductor as the current increases with time. When the internal switch is turned off, the collapse of the magnetic field in L1 forces current to flow through fast recovery diode D1, charging COUT. Enable/Shutdown The shutdown (SHDN) input is TTL compatible. Ground the input if unused. A logic-low enables the regulator. A logic-high shuts down the internal regulator which reduces the current to typically 50A. Feedback Fixed versions of the regulator have an internal resistive divider from the feedback (FB) pin. Connect FB directly to the output line. Adjustable versions require an external resistive voltage divider from the output voltage to ground, connected from the1.23V tap to FB. Output Capacitor External output capacitor COUT provides stabilization and reduces ripple. Return Paths During the on portion of the cycle, the output capacitor and load currents return to the supply ground. During the off portion of the cycle, current is being supplied to the output capacitor and load by storage inductor L1, which means that D1 is part of the high-current return path. Duty Cycle Control A fixed-gain error amplifier compares the feedback signal with a 1.23V bandgap voltage reference. The resulting error amplifier output voltage is compared to a 200kHz sawtooth waveform to produce a voltage controlled variable duty cycle output. July 2009 5 M9999-072909 Micrel, Inc.
