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

reliability and provides automatic output current limiting.  
Finally, current-mode operation provides automatic input  
voltage feed forward which prevents instantaneous input  
voltage changes from disturbing the output voltage  
setting.  
Functional Description  
Refer to “Block Diagram MIC2171”.  
Internal Power  
The MIC2171 operates when VIN is 2.6V. An internal  
2.3V regulator supplies biasing to all internal circuitry  
including a precision 1.24V band gap reference.  
Anti-Saturation  
The anti-saturation diode (D1) increases the usable duty  
cycle range of the MIC2171 by eliminating the base to  
collector stored charge which would delay Q1’s turnoff.  
PWM Operation  
The 100kHz oscillator generates a signal with a duty  
cycle of approximately 90%. The current-mode  
comparator output is used to reduce the duty cycle when  
the current amplifier output voltage exceeds the error  
amplifier output voltage. The resulting PWM signal  
controls a driver which supplies base current to output  
transistor Q1.  
Compensation  
Loop stability compensation of the MIC2171 can be  
accomplished by connecting an appropriate network  
from either COMP to circuit ground (see “Typical  
Applications”) or COMP to FB.  
The error amplifier output (COMP) is also useful for soft  
start and current limiting. Because the error amplifier  
output is a transconductance type, the output impedance  
is relatively high which means the output voltage can be  
easily clamped or adjusted externally.  
Current-Mode Advantages  
The MIC2171 operates in current mode rather than  
voltage mode. There are three distinct advantages to  
this technique. Feedback loop compensation is greatly  
simplified because inductor current sensing removes a  
pole from the closed loop response. Inherent cycle-by-  
cycle current limiting greatly improves the power switch

the losses of the power switch driver circuitry. The dc  
losses are calculated from the supply voltage (VIN) and  
device supply current (IQ).The MIC2171 supply current is  
almost constant regardless of the supply voltage (see  
“Electrical Characteristics”). The driver section losses  
(not including the switch) are a function of supply  
voltage, power switch current, and duty cycle.

Power switch dissipation calculations are greatly  
simplified by making two assumptions which are usually  
fairly accurate. First, the majority of losses in the power  
switch are due to on-losses. To find these losses, assign  
a resistance value to the collector/emitter terminals of  
the device using the saturation voltage versus collector  
current curves (see Typical Performance Character-  
istics). Power switch losses are calculated by modeling  
the switch as a resistor with the switch duty cycle  
modifying the average power dissipation.

The maximum current limit of the MIC2171 can be  
reduced by adding a voltage clamp to the COMP output  
(Figure 4). This feature can be useful in applications  
requiring either a complete shutdown of Q1’s switching  
action or a form of current fold-back limiting. This use of  
the COMP output does not disable the oscillator,  
amplifiers or other circuitry, therefore, the supply current  
is never less than approximately 5mA.

Thermal Management  
VF = D1 forward voltage drop at IOUT  
Although the MIC2171 family contains thermal protection  
circuitry, for best reliability, avoid prolonged operation  
with junction temperatures near the rated maximum.  
From the Typical performance Characteristics:  
RSW = 0.37  
then:  
The junction temperature is determined by first  
calculating the power dissipation of the device. For the  
MIC2171, the total power dissipation is the sum of the  
device operating losses and power switch losses.

MIC2171  
The junction temperature for any semiconductor is  
calculated using the following:  
Discontinuous mode is preferred because the feedback  
control of the converter is simpler.  
TJ = TA + P(total) θJA  
where:  
When L1 discharges its current completely during the  
MIC2171 off-time, it is operating in discontinuous mode.  
L1 is operating in continuous mode if it does not  
discharge completely before the MIC2171 power switch  
is turned on again.  
TJ = junction temperature  
TA = ambient temperature (maximum)  
P(total) = total power dissipation  
θJA = junction to ambient thermal resistance  
For the practical example:  
TA = 70°C  
Discontinuous Mode Design  
Given the maximum output current, solve equation (1) to  
determine whether the device can operate in  
discontinuous mode without initiating the internal device  
current limit.

The signal ground, compensation network ground, and  
feed-back network connections are sensitive to minor  
voltage variations. The input and output capacitor  
grounds and power ground conductors will exhibit  
voltage drop when carrying large currents. Keep the  
sensitive circuit ground traces separate from the power  
ground traces. Small voltage variations applied to the  
sensitive circuits can prevent the MIC2171 or any  
switching regulator from functioning properly.

When designing a discontinuous flyback converter, first  
determine whether the device can safely handle the  
peak primary current demand placed on it by the output  
power. Equation (8) finds the maximum duty cycle  
required for a given input voltage and output power. If  
the duty cycle is greater than 0.8, discontinuous

Flyback Conversion  
For a practical example let: (see Figure 2)  
POUT = 5.0V × 0.5A = 2.5W  
VIN = 4.0V to 6.0V  
Flyback converter topology may be used in low power  
applications where voltage isolation is required or  
whenever the input voltage can be less than or greater  
than the output voltage. As with the step-up converter  
the inductor (transformer primary) current can be  
continuous or discontinuous. Discontinuous operation is  
recommended.  
ICL = 2.5A when δ < 50%  
1.67 (2 – δ) when δ 50%  
then:  
VIN(min) = VIN – (ICL × RSW  
V IN(min) = 4 – 0.78V  
V IN(min) = 3.22V  
Figure 2 shows a practical flyback converter design  
using the MIC2171.  
Switch Operation  
δ 0.74 (74%), less than 0.8 so discontinuous is  
During Q1’s on time (Q1 is the internal NPN transistor—  
see block diagrams), energy is stored in T1’s primary

Micrel’s MIC2171 can be used in several circuit  
configurations to generate an output voltage which is  
less than the input voltage (buck or step-down topology).  
Figure 6 shows the MIC2171 in a voltage step-down  
application. Because of the internal architecture of these  
devices, more external components are required to  
implement a step-down regulator than with other devices  
offered by Micrel (refer to the LM257x or MIC457x family  
of buck switchers). However, for step-down conversion  
requiring a transformer (forward), the MIC2171 is a good  
choice.

Finally, recalculate the transformer turns ratio to insure  
that it is less than the value earlier found in equation (9).  
A 12V to 5V step-down converter using transformer  
isolation (forward) is shown in Figure 6. Unlike the  
isolated flyback converter which stores energy in the  
primary inductance during the controller’s on-time and  
releases it to the load during the off-time, the forward  
converter transfers energy to the output during the on-

time, using the off-time to reset the transformer core. In  
the application shown, the transformer core is reset by  
the tertiary winding discharging T1’s peak magnetizing  
current through D2.  
off-time would require the voltage across the power  
switch to be ten times the input voltage. This would limit  
the input voltage to 6V or less for forward converter  
applications.  
For most forward converters the duty cycle is limited to  
50%, allowing the transformer flux to reset with only two  
times the input voltage appearing across the power  
switch. Although during normal operation this circuit’s  
duty cycle is well below 50%, the MIC2172 has a  
maximum duty cycle capability of 90%. If 90% was  
required during operation (start-up and high load  
currents), a complete reset of the transformer during the  
To prevent core saturation, the application given here  
uses a duty cycle limiter consisting of Q1, C4 and R3.  
Whenever the MIC2171 exceeds a duty cycle of 50%,  
T1’s reset winding current turns Q1 on. This action  
reduces the duty cycle of the MIC2171 until T1 is able to  
reset during each cycle.
