MIC4574 Micrel, Inc. MIC4574 200kHz Simple 0.5A Buck Regulator General Description Features The MIC4574 is a series of easy to use fixed and adjustable Fixed 200kHz operation BiCMOS step-down (buck) switch-mode voltage regulators. 3.3V, 5V, and adjustable output versions The 200kHz MIC4574 duplicates the pinout and function of Voltage over specified line and load conditions: the 52kHz LM2574. The higher switching frequency may Fixed version: 3% max. output voltage allow up to a 2:1 reduction in output filter inductor size. Adjustable version: 2% max. feedback voltage Guaranteed 0.5A switch current The MIC4574 is available in 3.3V, and 5V fixed output Wide 4V to 24V input voltage range versions or a 1.23V to 20V adjustable output version. Both Wide 1.23V to 20V output voltage range versions are capable of driving a 0.5A load with excellent line Requires minimum external components and load regulation. < 200A typical shutdown mode The feedback voltage is guaranteed to 2% tolerance for 75% efficiency (adjustable version > 75% typ.) adjustable versions, and the output voltage is guaranteed to Standard inductors and capacitors are 3% for fixed versions, within specified voltages and load 25% of typical LM2574 values conditions. The oscillator frequency is guaranteed to 10%. Thermal shutdown In shutdown mode, the regulator draws less than 200A Overcurrent protection standby current. The regulator performs cycle-by-cycle cur- 100% electrical thermal limit burn-in rent limiting and thermal shutdown for protection under fault Applications conditions. Simple high-efficiency step-down (buck) regulator This series of simple switch-mode regulators requires a Efficient preregulator for linear regulators minimum number of external components and can operate On-card switching regulators using a standard series of inductors. Frequency compensa- Positive-to-negative converter (inverting buck-boost) tion is provided internally. Isolated flyback converter using minimum external The MIC4574 is available in the DIP (N) package and is rated components over the industrial temperature range.
