MIC4576
200kHz Simple 3A Buck Regulator
General Description
The MIC4576 is a series of easy to use fixed and adjustable
BiCMOS step-down (buck) switch-mode voltage regulators.
The 200kHz MIC4576 duplicates the pinout and function of
the 52kHz LM2576. The higher switching frequency may
allow up to a 2:1 reduction in output filter inductor size.
The MIC4576 is available in 3.3V, and 5V fixed output ver-
sions or a 1.23V to 33V adjustable output version. Both
versions are capable of driving a 3A load with excellent line
and load regulation.
The feedback voltage is guaranteed to ±2% tolerance for
adjustable versions, and the output voltage is guaranteed to
±3% for fixed versions, within specified voltages and load con-
ditions. The oscillator frequency is guaranteed to ±10%.
In shutdown mode, the regulator draws less than 200µA
standby current. The regulator performs cycle-by-cycle
current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection under
fault conditions.
This series of simple switch-mode regulators requires a mini-
mum number of external components and can operate using
a standard series of inductors. Frequency compensation is
provided internally.
The MIC4576 is available in TO-220 (T) and TO-263 (U)
packages for the industrial temperature range.
