MIC4690
500kHz 1A SuperSwitcher™ Buck Regulator
General Description
The MIC4690 SuperSwitcher™ is an easy-to-use, 500kHz
step-down PWM voltage regulator. The MIC4690 achieves
over 1A of continuous output current over a wide input voltage
range in an 8-lead SO (small outline) package.
The high switching frequency of the MIC4690 allows the
smallest surface-mount inductors and capacitors to be used.
Internal compensation ensures fast transient response and a
minimum amount of external components.
The MIC4690 features a power SO-8 package with a special
lead frame that allows over 1A of continuous current. The
MIC4690, housed in an SO-8, can replace larger TO-220 and
TO-263 packages in many applications.
The MIC4690 allows for a high degree of safety. It has a wide
input voltage range of 4V to 34V, allowing for it to be used in
applications where input voltage transients may be present.
Built-in safety features include over-current protection, fre-
quency foldback protection, and thermal shutdown.
The MIC4690 is available in an 8-lead SO package with a
junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

Note 1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
Note 2. With input voltages above the operating rating, the device may be damaged if a short-circuit is applied to the output. The device will otherwise
not be damaged up to its absolute maximum voltage rating.
Note 3. Absolute maximum rating is intended for voltage transients only, prolonged dc operation is not recommended.
Note 4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended.
Note 5. Measured on 1" square of 1 oz. copper FR4 printed circuit board connected to the device ground leads.
