Product details
Overview
MIC2205-1.3YML-TR from Microchip Technology is a 2 MHz synchronous buck regulator with integrated LDO standby mode, delivering 1.3 V fixed output at up to 600 mA in PWM mode and 60 mA in LDO mode, with 18 μA quiescent current and 75 μVRMS output noise. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V input and supports ultra-fast load transients in portable power systems such as USB peripherals and cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2205-1.3YML-TR datasheet, MIC2205-1.3YML-TR pinout, MIC2205-1.3YML-TR application, or MIC2205-1.3YML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode operation (PWM + LDO), 100% duty cycle capability for low-dropout conditions, stability with 1 μF ceramic output capacitor, thermal shutdown protection, and VDFN-10L package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MIC2205-1.3YML-TR integrates two independent regulation paths: a 2 MHz constant-frequency synchronous buck converter with internal MOSFETs and a parallel low-noise LDO activated via LOWQ pin control. Its type III compensation enables stable operation with small output capacitance (≥1 μF), while the 100% duty cycle allows operation down to VIN = VOUT + dropout (110 mV @ 50 mA).
Switching and analog sections are isolated via separate ground pins (PGND/AGND) and supply rails (VIN/AVIN), with BIAS decoupled by 0.1 μF. The FB pin uses an internal 1.0 V reference; for the fixed 1.3 V variant, no external resistor divider is required-only a 100 pF feed-forward capacitor between FB and VOUT is specified.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.3 V ±2% over temperature - eliminates need for external feedback resistors and reduces BOM count. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and 3.3 V/5 V system rails. |
| PWM Output Current | Up to 600 mA - sufficient for powering core logic, I/O, or RF subsystems in portable devices. |
| LDO Mode IQ | 16–29 μA typical - extends battery life during system sleep without introducing switching noise. |
| Output Noise | 75 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets low-noise requirements for ADC references and RF bias supplies. |
| Thermal Protection | 160°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage under sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Package | VDFN-10L (3 mm × 3 mm × 0.9 mm) - exposes thermal pad for efficient heat transfer and supports automated reflow assembly. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Very Thin Plastic Dual Flat, No Lead (VDFN-10L), 3 mm × 3 mm body, 0.9 mm height, exposed thermal pad (EP/GND). RoHS-compliant matte tin finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 AGND | Analog ground reference | Return path for FB, BIAS, AVIN, and internal error amplifier - must be routed separately from PGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| 2 LDO | LDO output node | Connects directly to VOUT; provides regulated 1.3 V in LOWQ = low mode; high-impedance in PWM mode. |
| 3 BIAS | Internal bias supply | Powered from AVIN via 6 Ω resistor; requires 0.1 μF bypass to AGND to stabilize control loop reference. |
| 4 AVIN | Analog supply input | Supplies LDO and bias circuitry; must tie to VIN but be physically isolated to suppress switching noise from VIN. |
| 5 FB | Feedback input | Internally referenced to 1.0 V; for 1.3 V fixed version, connect 100 pF capacitor from FB to VOUT - no resistor divider needed. |
| 6 EN | Enable input | Logic-low (<0.5 V) disables entire device, reducing IQ to <5 μA; open-drain compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO. |
| 7 LOWQ | Mode select input | Logic-low enables LDO mode (18 μA IQ, 60 mA drive); logic-high enables PWM mode (600 mA, 2 MHz). |
| 8 VIN | Main power input | Supplies high-current switches; requires ≥1 μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed near VIN–PGND loop. |
| 9 SW | Power switch output | Drives external 2.2 μH inductor; high dv/dt node - minimize trace area and distance to reduce EMI. |
| 10 PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for PWM switch; must form tight loop with VIN and SW to limit radiated emissions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode regulation | Seamless transition between 600 mA PWM and 60 mA LDO modes via LOWQ pin - eliminates output voltage glitch during mode change. |
| Ultra-low-noise LDO mode | 75 μVRMS noise and 18 μA quiescent current - preserves signal integrity in noise-sensitive analog/RF stages during standby. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Supports dropout as low as 110 mV @ 50 mA - enables regulation when input falls near output voltage (e.g., battery discharge). |
| Minimal external components | Stable with only 1 μF output capacitor and no external compensation - reduces footprint and design validation effort. |
| Robust protection suite | Integrated thermal shutdown, current limiting (0.75–1.85 A), and UVLO (2.55 V typ.) - ensures safe operation across voltage and load extremes. |
Applications
| USB Peripheral Power | Cellular Phone Core Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator with LDO standby applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62260DRVR | 2.25 MHz fixed-frequency buck; no integrated LDO mode - relies on PFM for light-load efficiency; 25 μA IQ in PFM. | Lacks true low-noise LDO path - introduces ~20 mVPP ripple in light-load mode, unsuitable for RF/analog supplies. | Select when absolute lowest IQ is secondary to cost and board space; avoid for noise-critical rails. |
| RT8059ZSP | 2 MHz buck with separate LDO enable; LDO IQ = 35 μA, output noise = 120 μVRMS; requires external LDO pass element. | Discrete LDO implementation increases component count and layout complexity; higher noise degrades ADC SNR. | Choose only if 1.3 V output tolerance tighter than ±2% is required - RT8059 offers ±1%. |
Compared with TPS62260DRVR and RT8059ZSP, the MIC2205-1.3YML-TR uniquely combines true LDO-level noise performance with buck-level current delivery in one monolithic IC, enabling simpler, quieter, and more reliable power architecture for portable electronics.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MIC2205-1.3YML-TR across temperature?
The MIC2205-1.3YML-TR has a fixed 1.3 V output with ±2% tolerance over the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (DS20006177A, page 3). This specification applies to the factory-trimmed internal feedback network and does not require external calibration. The MIC2205-1.3YML-TR achieves this accuracy using a precision 1.0 V bandgap reference and laser-trimmed resistive divider.
Can the MIC2205-1.3YML-TR operate with input voltage equal to its 1.3 V output?
Yes - the MIC2205-1.3YML-TR supports 100% maximum duty cycle, enabling operation with VIN as low as VOUT + dropout voltage (110 mV typical at 50 mA load). At 1.3 V output, this allows functional regulation down to ~1.41 V input, making it suitable for deeply discharged Li-ion cells. The MIC2205-1.3YML-TR maintains regulation without foldback or shutdown until VIN drops below the 2.45 V UVLO threshold.
What is the recommended output capacitor for the MIC2205-1.3YML-TR?
The MIC2205-1.3YML-TR is optimized for a 2.2 μF X5R or X7R ceramic output capacitor, but remains stable with values from 1 μF to 4.7 μF. Y5V dielectrics are explicitly discouraged due to severe capacitance loss over temperature. A 10 nF ceramic capacitor is also recommended close to the load for high-frequency noise filtering. The MIC2205-1.3YML-TR's type III compensation eliminates need for ESR tuning.
How does the LOWQ pin affect the MIC2205-1.3YML-TR's output behavior?
When LOWQ is pulled low (<0.5 V), the MIC2205-1.3YML-TR disables PWM switching and activates its internal LDO, sourcing up to 60 mA at 1.3 V with 18 μA quiescent current and 75 μVRMS noise. When LOWQ is high (>1.5 V), it enables 2 MHz PWM mode for up to 600 mA. The MIC2205-1.3YML-TR transitions between modes with no output voltage glitch or overshoot.
Is thermal derating required for the MIC2205-1.3YML-TR at 600 mA continuous load?
Yes - with θJA = 60°C/W, the MIC2205-1.3YML-TR dissipates ~0.36 W at 600 mA (assuming 0.4 Ω high-side RDS(on) and 5 V input), resulting in ~22°C rise above ambient. Full 600 mA output is sustainable at +105°C ambient if PCB layout includes the exposed thermal pad soldered to ≥1 in² copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias. Derating is required above +105°C ambient to stay within +125°C TJ limit.
