MIC2203
High Efficiency 1MHz Synchronous Buck Regulator
General Description
The Micrel MIC2203 is a high efficiency 1MHz PWM synchronous buck switching regulator. The MIC2203 features low noise constant frequency PWM operation with a low dynamic supply current of <1mA. The low noise and efficient operation both make the MIC2203 well suited for sensitive RF, and audio power applications. The MIC2203 operates from 2.3V to 5.5V input and can supply over 300mA of output current with output voltages down to 0.5V. Additionally, the MIC2203 can be synchronized to an external clock, or multiple MIC2203s can easily be daisy-chained with the SYNCLOCK feature. The MIC2203 has a high loop bandwidth with corresponding ultra fast transient response times. This reduces the output capacitor size, and is very useful when powering applications that require fast dynamic response such as CPU cores and RF circuitry in high performance cellular phones and PDAs. The MIC2203 is available in 10-pin MSOP and 3mm x 3mm MLFTM-10L package options with an operating junction temperature range from -40C to 125C.

Functional Description
VIN VIN provides power to the output and to the internal bias supply. The supply voltage range is from 2.3V to 5.5V. A minimum 1F ceramic capacitor is recommended for bypassing the input supply. Enable The enable pin provides a logic level control of the output. In the off state, supply current of the device is greatly reduced (typically <1A). Also, 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 the enable pin above the supply voltage. SYNC_IN SYNC_IN pin enables the ability to change the fundamental switching frequency. The SYNC_IN frequency has a minimum frequency of 800KHz and a maximum sync frequency of 1.2MHz. Careful attention should be paid to not driving the SYNC_IN pin greater than the supply voltage. Although this will not damage the device, it can cause improper operation.
SYNC_OUT SYNC_OUT is an open collector output that provides a signal equal to the internal oscillator frequency. This creates the ability for multiple MIC2203s to be connected together in a masterslave configuration for frequency matching of the converters. A typical 10k resistor is recommended for the pull-up resistor. Bias The bias supply is an internal 2.3V linear regulator that supplies the internal biasing voltage to the MIC2203. A 10nF ceramic capacitor is required on this pin for bypassing. Do not use the bias pin as a supply. The bias pin was designed to supply internal power only. Feedback The feedback pin provides the control path to control the output. A resistor divider connecting the feedback to the output is used to adjust the desired output voltage. Refer to the feedback section in the "Applications Information" for more detail.

Application Information
Input Capacitor A minimum 1F ceramic capacitor is recommended on the VIN pin for bypassing. X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for the input capacitor. Y5V dielectrics, aside from losing most of their capacitance over temperature, also become resistive at high frequencies. This reduces their ability to filter out high frequency noise. Output Capacitor The MIC2203 was designed specifically for the use of a 2.2F ceramic output capacitor. Since the MIC2203 is voltage mode regulator, the control loop relies on the inductor and output capacitor for compensation. For this reason, do not use excessively large output capacitors. The output capacitor requires either an X7R or X5R dielectric. Y5V and Z5U dielectric capacitors, aside from the undesirable effect of their wide variation in capacitance over temperature, become resistive at high frequencies. Using Y5V or Z5U capacitors will cause instability in the MIC2203. Total output capacitance should not exceed 3F. Inductor Selection Inductor selection will be determined by the following (not necessarily in the order of importance): * Inductance * Rated current value * Size requirements * DC resistance (DCR) The MIC2203 is designed for use with a 10H inductor. 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 40C temperature rise or a 10% loss in inductance. Ensure 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. The size requirements refer to the area and height requirements that are necessary to fit a particular design. Please refer to the inductor dimensions on their datasheet. DC resistance is also important. While DCR is inversely proportional to size, DCR can represent a significant efficiency loss. Refer to the "Efficiency Considerations" below for a more detailed description.
Bias Capacitor A small 10nF ceramic capacitor is required to bypass the bias pin. The use of low ESR ceramics provides improved filtering for the bias supply. Efficiency Considerations Efficiency is defined as the amount of useful output power, divided by the amount of power consumed. V xI Efficiency% = OUT OUT x 100 VIN x IIN Maintaining high efficiency serves two purposes. It reduces power dissipation in the power supply, reducing the need for heat sinks and thermal design considerations, and it reduces consumption of current for battery powered applications. Reduced current drawn from a battery increases the device's operating time, which is critical in hand held devices. There are two loss terms in switching converters: DC losses and switching losses. DC losses are simply 2 the power dissipation of I R. Power is dissipated in the high side switch during the on cycle. Power loss is equal to the high side MOSFET RDS(ON) multiplied 2 by the (Switch Current) . During the off cycle, the low side N-Channel MOSFET conducts, also dissipating power. Device operating current also reduces efficiency. The product of the quiescent (operating) current and the supply voltage is another DC loss. The current required to drive the gates on and off at a constant 1MHz frequency and the switching transitions make up the switching losses. Figure 2 shows an efficiency curve. The non-shaded portion, from 0mA to 100mA, efficiency losses are dominated by quiescent current losses, gate drive and transition losses. In this case, lower supply voltages yield greater efficiency in that they require less current to drive the MOSFETs and have reduced input power consumption.

The shaded region, 100mA to 300mA, efficiency loss is dominated by MOSFET RDS(ON) and inductor DC losses. Higher input supply voltages will increase

the Gate-to-Source threshold on the internal MOSFETs, reducing the internal RDS(ON). This improves efficiency by reducing DC losses in the device. All but the inductor losses are inherent to the device. In which case, inductor selection becomes increasingly critical in efficiency calculations. As the inductors are reduced in size, the DC resistance (DCR) can become quite significant. The DCR losses can be calculated as follows:
PL = IOUT 2 x DCR From that, the loss in efficiency due to inductor resistance can be calculated as follows: V xI OUT OUT Efficiency Loss = -1 x 100 VOUT x IOUT x PL Efficiency loss, due to DCR, is minimal at light loads and gains significance as the load is increased. Inductor selection becomes a trade-off between efficiency and size in this case.
can create a phase loss at high frequency. This phase loss degrades transient response by reducing phase margin. Adding feed-forward capacitance negates the parasitic capacitive effects of the feedback pin. Also, large feedback resistor values increase the impedance, making the feedback node more susceptible to noise pick-up. A feed-forward capacitor would also reduce noise pick-up by providing a low impedance path to the output.
Compensation The MIC2203 is an internally compensated, voltage mode buck regulator. Voltage mode is achieved by creating an internal 1MHz ramp signal and using the output of the error amplifier to pulse width modulate the switch node, maintaining output voltage regulation. With a typical gain bandwidth of 100kHz, the MIC2203 is capable of extremely fast transient responses.
The MIC2203 is designed to be stable with a 10H inductor and a 2.2F ceramic (X5R) output capacitor.
Feedback The MIC2203 provides a feedback pin to adjust the output voltage to the desired level. This pin connects internally to an error amplifier. The error amplifier then compares the voltage at the feedback to the internal 0.5V reference voltage and adjusts the output voltage to maintain regulation. To calculate the resistor divider network for the desired output is as follows: R1 R2 = V OUT -1 VREF
Where VREF is 0.5V and VOUT is the desired output voltage. A 10k or lower resistor value from the output to the feedback is recommended. Larger resistor values require an additional capacitor (feedforward) from the output to the feedback. The large high side resistor value and the parasitic capacitance on the feedback pin (~10pF) can cause an additional pole in the loop. The additional pole
PWM Operation The MIC2203 is a pulse width modulation (PWM) regulator. By controlling the ratio of on-to-off time, or duty cycle, a regulated DC output voltage is achieved. As load or supply voltage changes, so does the duty cycle to maintain a constant output voltage. In cases where the input supply runs into a dropout condition, the MIC2203 will run at 100% duty cycle. The MIC2203 provides constant switching at 1MHz with synchronous internal MOSFETs. The internal MOSFETs include a high-side P-Channel MOSFET from the input supply to the switch pin and an NChannel MOSFET from the switch pin-to-ground. Since the low-side N-Channel MOSFET provides the current during the off cycle, a free wheeling Schottky diode from the switch node to ground is not required. PWM control provides fixed frequency operation. By maintaining a constant switching frequency, predictable fundamental and harmonic frequencies are achieved. Other methods of regulation, such as burst and skip modes, have frequency spectrums that change with load that can interfere with sensitive communication equipment. Synchronization SYNC_IN allows the user to change the frequency from 1MHz up to 1.25MHz or down to 800KHz. This allows the ability to control the fundamental frequency and all the resultant harmonics. Maintaining a predictable frequency creates the ability to either shift the harmonics away from sensitive carrier and IF frequency bands or to accurately filter out specific harmonic frequencies. The SYNC_OUT function pin allows for the ability to be able to sync up multiple MIC2203s in a "daisychain", connecting SYNC_OUT to SYNC_IN of the other MIC2203. Synchronizing multiple MIC2203s benefits much in the same way as syncing up one MIC2203. All regulators will run at the same fundamental frequency, resulting in matched harmonic frequencies, simplifying design for sensitive communication equipment.
