100kHz 1.25A Switching Regulators
slave’s. The master MIC2172’s oscillator frequency is in-
creased up to 135kHz by connecting a resistor from SYNC to
ground (see applications information).
General Description
The MIC2172 and MIC3172 are complete 100kHz SMPS
current-mode controllers with internal 65V 1.25A power
switches. The MIC2172 features external frequency syn-
chronization or frequency adjustment, while the MIC3172
features an enable/shutdown control input.
The MIC2172/3172 is available in an 8-pin plastic DIP or
SOIC for –40°C to +85°C operation.
Features
Although primarily intended for voltage step-up applications,
the floating switch architecture of the MIC2172/3172 makes
it practical for step-down, inverting, and Cuk configurations
as well as isolated topologies.
Operating from 3V to 40V, the MIC2172/3172 draws only
7mA of quiescent current making it attractive for battery
operated supplies.
• 1.25A, 65V internal switch rating
• 3V to 40V input voltage range
• Current-mode operation
• Internal cycle-by-cycle current limit
• Thermal shutdown
• Low external parts count
• Operates in most switching topologies
• 7mA quiescent current (operating)
• <1µA quiescent current, shutdown mode (MIC3172)
• TTL shutdown compatibility (MIC3172)
• External frequency synchronization (MIC2172)
• External frequency trim (MIC2172)
• Fits most LT1172 sockets (see applications info)
The MIC3172 is for applications that require on/off control of
the regulator. The MIC3172 is externally shutdown by
applyingaTTLlowsignaltoEN(enable). Whendisabled, the
MIC3172 draws only leakage current (typically less than
1µA). ENmustbehighfornormaloperation. Forapplications
not requiring control, EN must be tied to V or TTL high.

Applications
The MIC2172 is for applications requiring two or more SMPS
regulators that operate from the same input supply. The
MIC2172 features a SYNC input which allows locking of its
internal oscillator to an external reference. This makes it
possibletoavoidtheaudiblebeatfrequenciesthatresultfrom
the unequal oscillator frequencies of independent SMPS
regulators.
A reference signal can be supplied by one MIC2172 desig-
natedasamaster. Toinsurelockingoftheslave’soscillators,
the reference oscillator frequency must be higher than the
• Laptop/palmtop computers
• Toys
• Hand-held instruments
• Off-line converter up to 50W
(requires external power switch)
• Predriver for higher power capability
• Master/slave configurations (MIC2172)

technique. Feedbackloopcompensationisgreatlysimplified
because inductor current sensing removes a pole from the
closed loop response. Inherent cycle-by-cycle current limit-
ing greatly improves the power switch reliability and provides
automatic output current limiting. Finally, current-mode op-
eration provides automatic input voltage feed forward which
prevents instantaneous input voltage changes from disturb-
ing the output voltage setting.
Functional Description
Refer to “Block Diagram MIC2172” and “Block Diagram
MIC3172.”
Internal Power
The MIC2172/3172 operates when V is ≥ 2.6V (and V
≥
IN
EN
2.0V for the MIC3172). 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 MIC2172/3172 by eliminating the base to
collector stored charge which would delay Q1’s turnoff.
The enable control (MIC3172 only) enables or disables the
internal regulator which supplies power to all other internal
circuitry.
Compensation
PWM Operation
Loop stability compensation of the MIC2172/3172 can be
accomplished by connecting an appropriate network from
eitherCOMPtocircuitground(TypicalApplications)orCOMP
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.
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.
Current Mode Advantages
The MIC2172/3172 operates in current mode rather than
voltage mode. There are three distinct advantages to this

eliminated, reducing the total components count.
Using the MIC3172 Enable Control (New Designs)
Synchronizing the MIC2172
For new designs requiring enable/shutdown control, connect
EN to a TTL or CMOS control signal (figure 3). The very low
driver current requirement ensures compatibility regardless
of the driver or gate used.
Using several unsynchronized switching regulators in the
same circuit will cause beat frequencies to appear on the
inputs and outputs. These beat frequencies can be very low
making them difficult to filter.
Micrel’s MIC2172 can be synchronized to a single master
frequency avoiding the possibility of undesirable beat fre-
quencies in multiple regulator circuits. The master frequency
canbeanexternaloscillatororadesignatedmasterMIC2172.
The master frequency should be 1.05 to 1.20 times the
slave’s 100kHz nominal frequency to guarantee synchroni-
zation.

Thermal Management
Although the MIC2172/3172 family contains thermal protec-
tion circuitry, for best reliability, avoid prolonged operation
with junction temperatures near the rated maximum.
Power switch dissipation calculations are greatly simplified
bymakingtwoassumptionswhichareusuallyfairlyaccurate.
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 satura-
tion voltage versus collector current curves (see Typical
Performance Characteristics). Power switch losses are

The first step in designing a boost converter is determining
whether inductor L1 will cause the converter to operate in
either continuous or discontinuous mode. Discontinuous
mode is preferred because the feedback control of the
converter is simpler.
When L1 discharges its current completely during the
MIC2172/3172’s off-time, it is operating in discontinuous
mode.
L1 is operating in continuous mode if it does not discharge
completely before the MIC2172/3172 power switch is turned
on again.

When specifying the transformer it is necessary to know the
primary peak current which must be withstood without satu-
rating the transformer core.
Micrel’s MIC2172/3172 can be used in several circuit con-
figurations to generate an output voltage which is less than
the input voltage (buck or step-down topology). Figure 13
shows the MIC3172 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 LM457x family of buck switchers). However,
for step-down conversion requiring a transformer (forward),
the MIC2172/3172 is a good choice.
A 12V to 5V step-down converter using transformer isolation
(forward) is shown in figure 14. 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.

50%,theMIC2172(andMIC3172)hasamaximumdutycycle
capability of 90%. If 90% was required during operation
(start-up and high load currents), a complete reset of the
transformer during the 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.
To prevent core saturation, the application given here uses a
duty cycle limiter consisting of Q1, C4 and R3. Whenever the
MIC3172 exceeds a duty cycle of 50%, T1’s reset winding
current turns Q1 on. This action reduces the duty cycle of the
MIC3172 until T1 is able to reset during each cycle.
Fluorescent Lamp Supply
An extremely useful application of the MIC3172 is generating
an ac voltage for fluorescent lamps used as liquid crystal
display back lighting in portable computers.
Figure 15 shows a complete power supply for lighting a
fluorescent lamp. Transistors Q1 and Q2 together with ca-
pacitor C2 form a Royer oscillator. The Royer oscillator
generatesasinewavewhosefrequencyisdeterminedbythe
series L/C circuit comprised of T1 and C2. Assuming that the
MIC3172 and L1 are absent, and the transistors’ emitters are
grounded, circuit operation is described in “Oscillator Opera-
tion.”
into saturation for a period determined by the Pri 1/C2 time
constant. Once the voltage across C2 has reached its
maximum circuit value, Q1’s collector current will no longer
increase. Since T1 is in series with Q1, this drop in primary
current causes the flux in T1 to change and because of the
mutual coupling to the feedback winding further reduces
primary current eventually turning Q1 off. The primary wind-
ings now change state with the feedback winding forcing Q2
on repeating the alternate half cycle exactly as with Q1. This
action produces a sinusoidal voltage wave form; whose
amplitude is proportional to the input voltage, across T1’s
primarywindingwhichissteppedupandcapacitivelycoupled
to the lamp.
Lamp Current Regulation
Initial ionization (lighting) of the fluorescent lamp requires
several times the ac voltage across it than is required to
sustain current through the device. The current through the
lamp is sampled and regulated by the MIC3172 to achieve a
given intensity. The MIC3172 uses L1 to maintain a constant
average current through the transistor emitters. This current
controls the voltage amplitude of the Royer oscillator and
maintains the lamp current. During the negative half cycle,
lamp current is rectified by D3. During the positive half cycle,
lampcurrentisrectifiedbyD2throughR4andR5. R3andC5
filter the voltage dropped across R4 and R5 to the MIC3172’s
feedback pin. The MIC3172 maintains a constant lamp
current by adjusting its duty cycle to keep the feedback
voltage at 1.24V. The intensity of the lamp is adjusted using
potentiometer R5. The MIC3172 adjusts its duty cycle
accordingly to bring the average voltage across R4 and R5
back to 1.24V.
