MIC2186

Low Voltage PWM Control IC

General Description

Micrel’s MIC2186 is a high efficiency boost PWM control IC.

With its wide input voltage range of 2.9V to 14V, the MIC2186

can be used to efficiently boost voltages in 1- or 2-cell Li Ion

battery powered applications, as well as to boost voltages in

fixed 3.3V, 5V, or 12V systems. Its powerful 1.6Ω output

driver allows the MIC2186 to supply large output currents with

the selection of proper external MOSFETs.

The MIC2186 can be configured to operate at 100kHz,

200kHz, or 400kHz. With it’s fixed frequency PWM architec-

ture, and easily synchronized drive, the MIC2186 is ideal for

noise-sensitive telecommunications applications.

MIC2186 also features a low current shutdown mode of

0.5µA and programmable undervoltage lockout. A manually

selectable SKIP Mode allows high efficiencies in light load

situations.

The MIC2186 is available in 16 pin SOIC and QSOP package

options with an operating range from –40°C to 125°C.
