500kHz PWM Synchronous Buck Control IC
General Description
Features
TheMIC2169isahigh-efficiency,simpletouse500kHzPWM
synchronous buck control IC housed in a small MSOP-10
package. The MIC2169 allows compact DC/DC solutions
with a minimal external component count and cost.
• 3V to 14.5V input voltage range
• Adjustable output voltage down to 0.8V
• Up to 95% efficiency
• 500kHz PWM operation
• Adjustable current limit senses high-side N-Channel
MOSFET current
• No external current-sense resistor
• Adaptive gate drive increases efficiency
• Fast transient response

• Overvoltage protection protects the load in fault
conditions
The MIC2169 operates using a 3V to 14.5V input, without
the need for any additional bias voltage. The output voltage
can be precisely regulated down to 0.8V. The adaptive all
N-Channel MOSFET drive scheme allows efficiencies, over
95%, across a wide load range.
TheMIC2169sensescurrentacrossthehigh-sideN-Channel
MOSFET, eliminating the need for an expensive and lossy
current-sense resistor. Current limit accuracy is maintained

Inductor Selection
For the low-side MOSFET:
Values for inductance, peak, and RMS currents are required
to select the output inductor. The input and output voltages
and the inductance value determine the peak-to-peak induc-
tor ripple current. Generally, higher inductance values are
used with higher input voltages. Larger peak-to-peak ripple
currents will increase the power dissipation in the inductor
and MOSFETs. Larger output ripple currents will also require
more output capacitance to smooth out the larger ripple cur-
rent. Smaller peak-to-peak ripple currents require a larger
inductance value and therefore, a larger and more expensive
inductor. A good compromise between size, loss and cost is
to set the inductor ripple current to be equal to 20% of the
maximum output current. The inductance value is calculated
by the equation below.

Maximizing efficiency requires the proper selection of core
material and minimizing the winding resistance. The high
frequency operation of the MIC2169 requires the use of fer-
rite materials for all but the most cost sensitive applications.
Lower cost iron powder cores may be used but the increase
in core loss will reduce the efficiency of the power supply.
Thisisespeciallynoticeableatlowoutputpower.Thewinding
resistance decreases efficiency at the higher output current
levels. The winding resistance must be minimized although
this usually comes at the expense of a larger inductor. The
power dissipated in the inductor is equal to the sum of the
core and copper losses. At higher output loads, the core
losses are usually insignificant and can be ignored. At lower
output currents, the core losses can be a significant con-
tributor. Core loss information is usually available from the
magnetics vendor. Copper loss in the inductor is calculated
by the equation below:

Input Capacitor Selection
Theinputcapacitorshouldbeselectedforripplecurrentrating

subjected to high inrush currents, caused by turning the input
supply on. To maximize reliability, tantalum input capacitor
voltage rating should be at least two times the maximum in-
put voltage. Aluminum electrolytic, OS-CON, and multilayer
polymerfilmcapacitorscanhandlethehigherinrushcurrents
without voltage derating. The input voltage ripple will primar-
ily depends upon the input capacitor’s ESR. The peak input

lost in the diode is proportional to the forward voltage drop
of the diode. As the high-side MOSFET starts to turn on, the
body diode becomes a short circuit for the reverse recovery
period, dissipating additional power. The diode recovery and
the circuit inductance will cause ringing during the high-side
MOSFET turn-on. An external Schottky diode conducts at
a lower forward voltage preventing the body diode in the
MOSFET from turning on. The lower forward voltage drop
dissipates less power than the body diode. The lack of a
reverse recovery mechanism in a Schottky diode causes
less ringing and less power loss. Depending upon the circuit
components and operating conditions, an external Schottky

Feedback Loop Compensation
The output voltage is determined by the equation:
The MIC2169 controller comes with an internal transcon-
ductance error amplifier used for compensating the voltage
feedback loop by placing a capacitor (C1) in series with a
resistor (R1) and another capacitor C2 in parallel from the
COMP pin-to-ground. See “Functional Block Diagram.”

A typical value of R1 can be between 3kΩ and 10kΩ. If R1 is
too large, it may allow noise to be introduced into the voltage
feedback loop. If R1 is too small, in value, it will decrease the
efficiency of the power supply, especially at light loads. Once
R1 is selected, R2 can be calculated using:
Power Stage
The power stage of a voltage mode controller has an induc-
tor, L1, with its winding resistance (DCR) connected to the

An external freewheeling diode is used to keep the inductor
current flow continuous while both MOSFETs are turned off.
This dead time prevents current from flowing unimpeded
through both MOSFETs and is typically 15ns. The diode
conducts twice during each switching cycle. Although the
average current through this diode is small, the diode must
be able to handle the peak current.

The external Schottky diode, D1, is not necessary for circuit
operation since the low-side MOSFET contains a parasitic
body diode. The external diode will improve efficiency and
decrease high frequency noise. If the MOSFET body diode
is used, it must be rated to handle the peak and average cur-
rent. The body diode has a relatively slow reverse recovery
time and a relatively high forward voltage drop. The power

It is undesirable to have high error amplifier gain at high
frequencies because high frequency noise spikes would be
picked up and transmitted at large amplitude to the output,
thus,gainshouldbepermittedtofalloffathighfrequencies.At
low frequency, it is desireable to have high open-loop gain to
attenuate the power line ripple. Thus, the error amplifier gain
should be allowed to increase rapidly at low frequencies.
The transfer function with R1, C1, and C2 for the internal

From the point of view of compensating the voltage loop, it
is recommended to use higher ESR output capacitors since
they provide a 90° phase gain in the power path. For com-

Figure 6. The Phase Curve with ESR = 0.002Ω
It can be seen from Figure 5 that at 50kHz, the phase is
approximately –90° versus Figure 6 where the number is
–150°. This means that the transconductance error ampli-
fier has to provide a phase boost of about 45° to achieve a
closed-loop phase margin of 45° at a crossover frequency
of 50kHz for Figure 4, versus 105° for Figure 6. The simple
RC and C2 compensation scheme allows a maximum error
amplifier phase boost of about 90°. Therefore, it is easier to
stabilize the MIC2169 voltage control loop by using high ESR
value output capacitors.

The open-loop response for the MIC2169 controller is easily
obtained by adding the power path and the error amplifier
gains together, since they already are in Log scale. It is
desirable to have the gain curve intersect zero dB at tens of
kilohertz, this is commonly called crossover frequency; the
phase margin at crossover frequency should be at least 45°.
Phase margins of 30° or less cause the power supply to have
substantial ringing when subjected to transients, and have
little tolerance for component or environmental variations.
Figures9and10showtheopen-loopgainandphasemargin.
It can be seen from Figure 9 that the gain curve intersects
the 0dB at approximately 50kHz, and from Figure 10, that at
50kHz, the phase shows approximately 50° of margin.

Design Example
Layout and Checklist:
7. Low gate charge MOSFETs should be used to
1. Connect the current limiting (R2) resistor directly
to the drain of top MOSFET Q3.
maximize efficiency, such as Si4800, Si4804BDY,
IRF7821, IRF8910, FDS6680A and FDS6912A,
etc.
2. Use a 5Ω resistor from the input supply to the VIN
pin on the MIC2169. Also, place a 1μF ceramic
capacitor from this pin to GND, preferably not thru
a via.
8. Compensation component GND, feedback resistor
ground, chip ground should all run together and
connect to the output capacitor ground. See demo
board layout, top layer.
3. The feedback resistors R3 and R4/R5/R6 should
be placed close to the FB pin. The top side of R3
should connect directly to the output node. Run
this trace away from the switch node (junction of
Q3, Q2, and L1). The bottom side of R3 should
connect to the GND pin on the MIC2169.
9. The 10μF ceramic capacitor should be placed
between the drain of the top MOSFET and the
source of the bottom MOSFET.
10.The10μFceramiccapacitorshouldbeplacedright
on the VDD pin without any vias.
4. The compensation resistor and capacitors should
be placed right next to the COMPpin and the other
side should connect directly to the GND pin on the
MIC2169 rather than going to the plane.
11.ThesourceofthebottomMOSFETshouldconnect
directly to the input capacitor GND with a thick
trace. The output capacitor and the input capacitor
should connect directly to the GND plane.
5. Add a 1.4Ω resistor and a 1000pF capacitor from
theswitchnodetogroundpin. Seepage7, Current
Limiting section for more detail.
12.Placea0.01μFto0.1μFceramiccapacitorinparallel
with the CS resistor to filter any switching noise.
6. Add place holders for gate resistors on the top and
bottom MOSFET gate drives. If necessary, gate
resistors of 10Ω or less should be used.
