General Description
The MIC2230 is dual output, high-efficiency synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter. The MIC2230 is ideally
suited for portable systems which demand high power
conversion efficiencies and fast transient performance,
while offered in a very small package. The MIC2230 offers
an ultra-low quiescent current in light load mode assuring
minimum current draw from battery powered applications
in standby modes. The MIC2230 was designed to only
require miniature 2.2µH inductors and 10µF ceramic
capacitors.
The MIC2230 features a selectable mode that allows the
user to trade-off lowest noise performance for low power
efficiency. Trickle ModeTM operation provides ultra-high
efficiency at light loads, while PWM operation provides
very low ripple noise performance. To maximize battery life
in low-dropout conditions, MIC2230 can operate with a
maximum duty cycle of 100%.
The MIC2230 is available in a space-saving 3mm × 3mm
MLF®-12L package with a junction temperature range from
–40°C to +125°C.

Functional Block Diagram
Functional Description
VIN
VIN provides power to the MOSFETs for the switch
mode regulator section, along with the current limiting
sensing. Due to the high switching speeds, a 10µF
capacitor is recommended close to VIN and the power
ground (PGND) pin for bypassing. Please refer to layout
recommendations.
AVIN
Analog VIN (AVIN) provides power to the analog supply
circuitry. AVIN and VIN must be tied together. Careful
layout should be considered to ensure high frequency
switching noise caused by VIN is reduced before
reaching AVIN. A 1µF capacitor as close to AVIN as
possible is recommended. See layout recommendations
for detail.
EN1
Enable 1 controls the on and off state of regulator 1. A
high logic on Enable 1 (EN1) activates regulator 1 while
a low logic deactivates regulator 1. MIC2230 features
built-in soft-start circuitry that reduces in-rush current
and prevents the output voltage from overshooting at
start up.
EN2
Enable 2 controls the on and off state of regulator 2. A
high logic on Enable 2 (EN2) activates regulator 2 while
a low logic deactivates regulator 2. MIC2230 features
built-in soft-start circuitry that reduces in-rush current
and prevents the output voltage from overshooting at
start up.
/FPWM
The Forced PWM Mode selects the mode of operation
for this device. Grounding this pin forces the device to
stay in constant frequency PWM mode only. Pulling this
pin high enables automatic selection of Trickle or PWM
mode operation, depending on the load. While /FPWM is
high and the load is below 100mA, the device will go into
Trickle Mode™. If the load is above 100mA, PWM mode
will automatically be selected. Do not leave this pin
floating.
PGOOD
The Power Good Output is pulled down unless the
regulator 1 output voltage is within +6.25% or -8.5% of
regulation. When the output voltage is in regulation, the
PGOOD capacitor will be charged to AVIN by an internal
5μA current source through a 1kΩ resistor. The charge
Micrel, Inc. MIC2230
April 2010 11 M9999-040810-C
time is approximately 1µs per 1pF of capacitance. For
example, a 390pF capacitor at the PGOOD pin will
cause the PGOOD pin voltage to rise from low to high in
around 390µs. A PGOOD capacitor is recommended to
prevent large output voltage transients from triggering
the PGOOD flag unexpectedly.
Figure 1. Power Good Circuit
FB1/FB2
The feedback pin (FB) provides the control path to
control the output. For adjustable versions, a resistor
divider connecting the feedback to the output is used to
adjust the desired output voltage. The output voltage is
calculated as follows:
VOUT =VREF ×R1
R2 +1
⎛
⎝
⎜
⎞
⎠
⎟
where VREF is equal to 0.8V.
A feedforward capacitor is recommended for most
designs using the adjustable output voltage option. To
reduce battery current draw, a 100kΩ feedback resistor
is recommended for use from the output to the FB pin
(R1). Also, a feedforward capacitor should be connected
between the output and feedback (across R1). The large
resistor value and the parasitic capacitance of the FB pin
can cause a high frequency pole that can reduce the
overall system phase margin. By placing a feedforward
capacitor, these effects can be significantly reduced.
Refer to the Feedback section for recommended
feedforward capacitor values.
SW1/SW2
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 and separate
from the Analog ground (AGND) loop. Refer to the layout
considerations for more details.
AGND
Signal ground (AGND) is the ground path for the biasing
and control circuitry. The current loop for the signal
ground should be separate from the Power ground
(PGND) loop. Refer to the layout considerations for more
details.

Applications Information
Input Capacitor
A minimum 2.2µF ceramic 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, they also become resistive at high
frequencies. This reduces their ability to filter out high
frequency noise.
Output Capacitor
The MIC2230 was designed specifically for use with a
10µF or greater ceramic output capacitor. 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.
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 MIC2230 was designed for use with a 2.2µH
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 40°C temperature rise or a 10 to 20% 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.
Compensation
The MIC2230 is an internally compensated, current
mode buck regulator. Current mode is achieved by
sampling the peak current and using the output of the
error amplifier to pulse width modulate the switch node
and maintain output voltage regulation.
The MIC2230 is designed to be stable with a 2.2µH
inductor with a 10µF ceramic (X5R) output capacitor.
Feedback
The MIC2230 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
0.8V reference voltage and adjusts the output voltage to
maintain regulation. Calculating the resistor divider
network for the desired output is as follows;

REF
OUT
Where VREF is 0.8V and VOUT is the desired output
voltage.
A 100kΩ from the output to the feedback is
recommended for R1. Larger resistor values require an
additional capacitor (feed-forward) 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 control loop. The
additional pole can create a phase loss at high
frequencies. This phase loss degrades transient
response by reducing phase margin. Adding feed-
forward capacitance negates the parasitic capacitive
effects of the feedback pin. Refer to Table 1 for
recommended feedforward capacitor values.
Recommended CFF Total Feedback Resistance
22pF 1M - 2MΩ
47pF 500k -1MΩ
100pF 100k - 500kΩ
180pF 10k - 100kΩ
Table 1. Recommended Feed-forward Capacitor
Large feedback resistor values increase 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. Refer to Table 1 for recommended feedforward
capacitor values.
Efficiency Considerations
Efficiency is defined as the amount of useful output
power, divided by the amount of power supplied.

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 draw
Micrel, Inc. MIC2230
April 2010 13 M9999-040810-C
from a battery increases the devices operating time and
is critical in hand held devices.
There are two types of losses in switching converters;
DC losses and switching losses. DC losses are simply
the power dissipation of I2R. Power is dissipated in the
high-side switch during the on cycle. Power loss is equal
to the high side MOSFET RDSON multiplied by the Switch
Current2. 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 driving the
gates on and off at a constant 2.5MHz frequency and the
switching transitions make up the switching losses.
The figure above shows an efficiency curve. From no
load to 100mA, efficiency losses are dominated by
quiescent current losses, gate drive and transition
losses. By forcing the MIC2230 into Trickle Mode™
(/FPWM=High), the buck regulator significantly reduces
the required switching current by entering into a PFM
(Pulse Frequency Modulation) mode. This significantly
increases efficiency at low output currents.
Over 100mA, efficiency loss is dominated by MOSFET
RDSON and inductor losses. Higher input supply
voltages will increase the Gate-to-Source threshold on
the internal MOSFETs, reducing the internal RDSON.
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;
DCRIoutL_Pd 2×=
From that, the loss in efficiency due to inductor
resistance can be calculated as follows;

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.
Trickle Mode™ Operation
Trickle Mode™ operation is achieved by clamping the
minimum peak current to approximately 150mA. This
forces a PFM mode by comparing the output voltage to
the internal reference. If the voltage is less than 0.8V,
the MIC2230 turns on the high side until the peak
inductor current reaches approximately 150mA. A
separate comparator then monitors the output voltage. If
the feedback voltage is greater than 0.8V, the high side
switch is then used as a 10µA current source, never
turning off completely. This creates a highly efficient light
load mode by increasing the time it takes for the output
capacitor to discharge, delaying the amount of switching
required and increasing light load efficiency. When the
load current is greater than approximately 100mA, the
MIC2230 automatically switches to PWM mode.
FPWM Operation
In forced PWM Mode (/FPWM=LOW) the MIC2230 is
forced to provides constant switching at 2.5MHz with
synchronous internal MOSFETs throughout the load
current. In FPWM Mode, the output ripple can be as low
as 7mV.
