MIC22950
10A Integrated Switch Synchronous
Buck Regulator with Frequency
Programmable to 2MHz
General Description
The Micrel MIC22950 is a high-efficiency 10A integrated
switch, synchronous buck (step-down) regulator. The
MIC22950 switching frequency is programmable from
400kHz to 2MHz, allowing the customer to optimize
designing either for efficiency or for the smallest footprint.
The MIC22950 achieves over 95% efficiency while still
switching at 2MHz over a broad load range.
The ultra-high-speed control loop keeps the output voltage
within regulation, even under extreme transient load
swings commonly found in FPGAs and low voltage ASICs.
The output voltage can be adjusted down to 0.7V in order
to address all low-voltage power needs.
The MIC22950 features a full range of sequencing and
tracking options. The EN/DLY and the DELAY pins,
combined with the POR/PG pin, allow multiple outputs to
be sequenced in several ways during turn-on and turn-off
by using EN pin. The RC (Ramp Control™) pin allows the
device to be connected to any another device in the
MIC22x00 family of products, to keep the output voltages
within a certain delta V during start-up.
The MIC22950 is available in a 32-pin 5mm x 5mm MLF
®
with a junction operating range from
−40°C
to
+125°C.

Pin Function
Power Supply Voltage (Input): Requires bypass capacitor to PGND.
Enable/ delay (Input): This pin has a 1.24V band gap reference. When the pin is pulled higher
that this the part will start up. Below this voltage the device is in its low quiescent current mode.
The pin has a 1µA current source pull-up to VIN. By adding a capacitor to this pin, a delay may
be generated. The enable function will not operate with an input voltage lower than UVLO.
Delay (Input): A capacitor sets the internal delay timer. Timer delays power-on reset (POR) at
power-up and power-down.
Ramp Control (Input): Capacitor-to-ground from this pin determines slew rate of output voltage
during start-up. This can be used for tracking capability as well as soft start. RC pin cannot be
left floating. Use a minimum capacitor value of 120pF or larger.
Power-On-Reset (Output): Open-drain output device indicates when the output is out of
regulation and is active after the delay set by the DELAY pin.
Power Ground (Power): Power Ground.
Switch (Output): Internal power MOSFET output switches.
Signal Ground (Signal): Signal Ground.
Frequency Set (Input): Adjustable Frequency with external capacitor.
Feedback (Input): Input to the error amplifier, connect to the external resistor divider network to
set the output voltage.
Compensation pin (Input): Place a RC-to-SGND to compensate the device, see applications
section.
Signal Power Supply Voltage (Input): Requires bypass capacitor-to-SGND.
Center Tab (Power): Must make a full connection to a GND plane for full output power to be
realized.
