MIC2171 100kHz 2.5A Switching Regulator General Description Features The MIC2171 is a complete 100kHz SMPS current-mode 2.5A, 65V internal switch rating controller with an internal 65V 2.5A power switch. 3V to 40V input voltage range Although primarily intended for voltage step-up applica- Current-mode operation, 2.5A peak tions, the floating switch architecture of the MIC2171 Internal cycle-by-cycle current limit makes it practical for step-down, inverting, and Cuk config- Thermal shutdown urations as well as isolated topologies. Twice the frequency of the LM2577 Operating from 3V to 40V, the MIC2171 draws only 7mA Low external parts count of quiescent current, making it attractive for battery Operates in most switching topologies operated supplies. 7mA quiescent current (operating) The MIC2171 is available in a 5-pin TO-220 or TO-263 for 40C to +85C operation. Fits LT1171/LM2577 TO-220 and TO-263 sockets Data sheets and support documentation can be found on Micrels web site at: www.micrel.com.

Can also be used for output voltage soft-start and current limit tailoring. 2 FB Feedback: Inverting input of error amplifier. Connect to external resistive divider to set power supply output voltage. 3 GND Ground: Connect directly to the input filter capacitor for proper operation (see applications info). 4 SW Power Switch Collector: Collector of NPN switch. Connect to external inductor or input voltage depending on circuit topology. 5 IN Supply Voltage: 3.0V to 40V M9999-051107 May 2007 2
