Product details
Overview
MIC2205-1.58YML-TR from Microchip Technology is a 2 MHz synchronous buck regulator with integrated LDO standby mode, delivering 1.58 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 - deployed in USB peripherals and portable battery-powered systems requiring ultra-low-noise, high-efficiency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR datasheet, MIC2205-1.58YML-TR pinout, MIC2205-1.58YML-TR application, or MIC2205-1.58YML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 1.58 V output, dual-mode operation (PWM/LDO), 3 mm × 3 mm VDFN-10L package, –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range, and compatibility with 1 μF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MIC2205-1.58YML-TR integrates fully synchronous MOSFETs and operates in constant-frequency 2 MHz PWM mode for high efficiency (>95% at 600 mA), switching automatically to low-noise LDO mode under light load (≤60 mA) with only 18 μA quiescent current. Its internal feedback reference is trimmed to 1.0 V, and the fixed 1.58 V output is set via internal resistor divider.
It features dual ground paths (AGND/PGND), separate AVIN bias supply, and dedicated LOWQ control pin to force LDO mode - enabling seamless transition between modes without output voltage droop or overshoot. The device supports 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation and includes thermal shutdown (160°C) and current limiting (0.75–1.85 A).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.58 V ±2% over temperature - eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies layout for stable point-of-load regulation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), USB 5 V, and 3.3 V rail inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA in PWM mode; 60 mA in LDO mode - enables dynamic load handling while preserving battery life during idle/sleep states. |
| Quiescent Current | 18 μA in LDO mode; 690–900 μA in PWM mode - extends runtime in always-on portable devices such as USB audio adapters and smart sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz (1.8–2.2 MHz typical) - allows use of small 2.2 μH inductors and compact 1 μF ceramic output capacitors, reducing board area. |
| Noise Performance | 75 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) in LDO mode - meets stringent analog/RF supply requirements without additional filtering. |
| Package | VDFN-10L (3 mm × 3 mm × 0.9 mm) with exposed thermal pad - provides low θJA = 60°C/W for thermally constrained handheld PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Very Thin Plastic Dual Flat, No Lead (VDFN-10L), 3 mm × 3 mm body, 0.9 mm height, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish, with exposed thermal pad (EP/GND) on underside.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AGND) | Analog Ground | Reference return for FB, BIAS, and error amplifier - must be routed separately from PGND to avoid noise coupling into control loop. |
| 2 (LDO) | LDO Output | Connects directly to VOUT; supplies regulated 1.58 V in LOWQ = low mode; high-impedance in PWM mode. |
| 3 (BIAS) | Bias Supply Input | Internally powered from AVIN via 6 Ω resistor; requires 0.1 μF bypass capacitor to AGND for stable reference generation. |
| 4 (AVIN) | Analog Supply Input | Provides clean power to LDO and bias circuitry; must tie to VIN but with careful layout to isolate high-frequency switching noise. |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback Input | Internally connected to fixed 1.58 V divider; no external resistors needed - simplifies design and improves accuracy vs. adjustable variants. |
| 6 (EN) | Enable Input | Logic-compatible input (0.5–1.3 V threshold); pulls device into <5 μA shutdown state when driven low. |
| 7 (LOWQ) | Mode Select Input | Directly controls PWM ↔ LDO transition: LOWQ < 0.5 V enables LDO mode; >1.5 V enables PWM mode. |
| 8 (VIN) | Main Power Input | Supplies internal MOSFETs and drivers; requires 1 μF ceramic bypass capacitor close to VIN and PGND pins. |
| 9 (SW) | Power Switch Node | High-speed switching output to inductor; must be minimized in trace length and kept away from sensitive analog nodes. |
| 10 (PGND) | Power Ground | High-current return path for PWM switch; forms tight loop with VIN and SW to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-noise LDO standby | 75 μVRMS output noise and 18 μA IQ enable clean power for RF, audio, or precision ADC circuits during sleep. |
| Seamless PWM/LDO mode transition | No output voltage glitch or overshoot during handoff - critical for real-time systems requiring uninterrupted supply stability. |
| 100% duty-cycle capability | Supports dropout as low as 110 mV at 50 mA - maintains regulation even when input drops near output voltage (e.g., Li-ion end-of-discharge). |
| Stable with minimal output capacitance | Guaranteed stability with only 1 μF ceramic output capacitor - reduces BOM cost and footprint vs. traditional buck regulators. |
| Integrated protection suite | Thermal shutdown (160°C), current limit (0.75–1.85 A), and UVLO (2.45–2.65 V) prevent damage under fault conditions without external components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | Fixed 1.6 V output; 2.05 MHz switching; 17 μA IQ in PFM mode; no LDO mode; requires ≥2.2 μF output cap. | Lower noise not guaranteed; lacks seamless LDO handoff - unsuitable where analog supply cleanliness is critical during low-load states. | Select when absolute minimum IQ is priority and system can tolerate higher ripple in light-load operation. |
| RT8059ZSP | Adjustable 0.6–5.5 V output; 2 MHz; 25 μA IQ in skip mode; no integrated LDO; 100% duty cycle not supported. | Requires external feedback network; dropout limited to ~300 mV - cannot regulate down to 1.58 V from 2.7 V input reliably. | Choose for flexible output voltage tuning where fixed 1.58 V is not required and thermal headroom permits higher dropout. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059ZSP, the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR uniquely combines fixed 1.58 V output, true LDO standby with 75 μVRMS noise, and 100% duty cycle - making it the only option among the three that guarantees clean, dropout-tolerant, single-rail power for noise-sensitive portable analog loads.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR over temperature?
The MIC2205-1.58YML-TR has a fixed 1.58 V output with ±2% tolerance over the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Fixed Output Voltages" with nominal VOUT tolerance of ±1% at 25°C and ±2% over temperature.
Does the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR require external feedback resistors?
No, the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR does not require external feedback resistors. Its 1.58 V output is set internally via a factory-trimmed resistor divider connected to the FB pin - eliminating component count, layout sensitivity, and tolerance drift associated with external networks.
How does the LOWQ pin affect operation of the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR?
The LOWQ pin directly selects operating mode: when pulled below 0.5 V, the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR enters LDO mode (18 μA IQ, 60 mA max output); when above 1.5 V, it operates in 2 MHz PWM mode (600 mA max, >95% efficiency). The transition is seamless with no output voltage disturbance.
Can the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR operate with a 1 μF output capacitor?
Yes, the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a minimum 1 μF ceramic output capacitor - a key differentiator versus most buck regulators requiring ≥4.7 μF - enabling smaller, lower-cost designs without compromising transient response.
What thermal protection features does the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR include?
The MIC2205-1.58YML-TR includes thermal shutdown at 160°C (±10°C) with 20°C hysteresis, plus current limiting (0.75–1.85 A) and undervoltage lockout (2.45–2.65 V). These protections activate independently and do not require external components to safeguard the MIC2205-1.58YML-TR under overload or ambient overheating conditions.
