MIC4574
200kHz Simple 0.5A Buck Regulator
General Description
The MIC4574 is a series of easy to use fixed and adjustable
BiCMOS step-down (buck) switch-mode voltage regulators.
The 200kHz MIC4574 duplicates the pinout and function of
the 52kHz LM2574. The higher switching frequency may
allow up to a 2:1 reduction in output filter inductor size.
The MIC4574 is available in 3.3V, and 5V fixed output
versions or a 1.23V to 20V adjustable output version. Both
versions are capable of driving a 0.5A 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
conditions. The oscillator frequency is guaranteed to
±10%.
In shutdown mode, the regulator draws less than 200µA
standby current. The regulator performs cycle-by-cycle cur-
rent limiting and thermal shutdown for protection under fault
conditions.
This series of simple switch-mode regulators requires a
minimum number of external components and can operate
using a standard series of inductors. Frequency compensa-
tion is provided internally.
The MIC4574 is available in the DIP (N) package and is rated
over the industrial temperature range.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on
Micrel’s web site at www.micrel.com.

A higher feedback voltage increases the error amplifier
output voltage. A higher error amplifier voltage (comparator
inverting input) causes the comparator to detect only the
peaks of the sawtooth, reducing the duty cycle of the com-
parator output. A lower feedback voltage increases the duty
cycle.
Output Switching
When the internal switch is on, an increasing current flows
from the supply V
IN,
through external storage inductor L1, to
output capacitor C
OUT
and the load. Energy is stored in the
inductor as the current increases with time.
When the internal switch is turned off, the collapse of the
magnetic field in L1 forces current to flow through fast
recovery diode D1, charging C
OUT
.
Output Capacitor
External output capacitor C
OUT
provides stabilization and
reduces ripple.
Return Paths
During the on portion of the cycle, the output capacitor and
load currents return to the supply ground. During the off
portion of the cycle, current is being supplied to the output
capacitor and load by storage inductor L1, which means that
D1 is part of the high-current return path.
Functional Description
The MIC4574 is a variable duty cycle switch-mode regulator
with an internal power switch. Refer to the block diagrams.
Supply Voltage
The MIC4574 operates from a +4V to +24V unregulated
input. Highest efficiency operation is from a supply voltage
below +15V.
Enable/Shutdown
The shutdown (
SHDN
) input is TTL compatible. Ground the
input if unused. A logic-low enables the regulator. A logic-high
shuts down the internal regulator which reduces the current
to typically 50µA.
Feedback
Fixed versions of the regulator have an internal resistive
divider from the feedback (
FB
) pin. Connect
FB
directly to the
output line.
Adjustable versions require an external resistive voltage
divider from the output voltage to ground, connected from the
1.23V tap to
FB
.
Duty Cycle Control
A fixed-gain error amplifier compares the feedback signal
with a 1.23V bandgap voltage reference. The resulting error
amplifier output voltage is compared to a 200kHz sawtooth
waveform to produce a voltage controlled variable duty cycle
output.
