Product details
Overview
MIC2205-1.5YML-TR from Microchip Technology is a 2 MHz synchronous buck regulator with integrated LDO standby mode, delivering 1.5 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 2.7–5.5 V input, supports 100% duty cycle, and targets portable power rails in USB peripherals and handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2205-1.5YML-TR datasheet, MIC2205-1.5YML-TR pinout, MIC2205-1.5YML-TR application, or MIC2205-1.5YML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 1.5 V output accuracy (±2% over temperature), ultra-low-noise LDO mode operation, thermal shutdown at 160°C, stable performance with 1 μF ceramic output capacitor, and compatibility with 2.2 μH inductors in compact 3 mm × 3 mm VDFN-10L packaging.
Technical Context
The MIC2205-1.5YML-TR integrates dual regulation architectures: a constant-frequency 2 MHz PWM buck converter with internal high-side/low-side MOSFETs and an independent low-noise LDO activated via LOWQ pin control. Its type III compensation enables stability with small 1–4.7 μF output capacitors while maintaining >95% efficiency at full load.
It features separate analog (AGND) and power (PGND) ground paths, dedicated AVIN bias supply decoupled by 0.1 μF, and a feedback pin (FB) internally configured for 1.5 V fixed output-eliminating external resistor dividers but retaining feed-forward capacitor support (100 pF typical) for transient response optimization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±2% over –40°C to +125°C junction range |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB 5 V, and 3.3 V system rails |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA in PWM mode; 60 mA in LDO mode - enables dynamic load scaling |
| Quiescent Current | 18 μA in LDO mode - extends battery life during system sleep without ripple penalty |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz ±10% - allows use of small 2.2 μH inductors and reduces EMI fundamental frequency |
| Output Noise | 75 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets low-noise analog rail requirements without post-regulation |
| Duty Cycle Range | 0–100% - supports dropout operation down to VIN = VOUT + 110 mV at 50 mA |
| Thermal Protection | 160°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway in sealed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.9 mm Very Thin Plastic Dual Flat No-Lead (VDFN-10L), RoHS-compliant, with exposed thermal pad (EP/GND) for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 AGND | Analog Ground Reference | Low-noise return path for FB, BIAS, and internal reference - must be isolated from PGND loop |
| 2 LDO | LDO Output Terminal | Connects directly to VOUT; provides regulated 1.5 V in LOWQ = low state; high-impedance in PWM mode |
| 3 BIAS | Internal Bias Supply Input | Powered from AVIN via 6 Ω resistor; requires 0.1 μF local bypass to AGND for control-loop stability |
| 4 AVIN | Analog Power Input | Supplies LDO and bias circuitry; must tie to VIN with careful layout to reject switching noise |
| 5 FB | Feedback Input | Internally connected to 1.5 V divider; accepts 100 pF feed-forward cap to improve load transient response |
| 6 EN | Enable Control Input | Logic-high (>0.85 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.5 V) reduces IQ to <5 μA and tri-states SW/PGND |
| 7 LOWQ | Mode Select Input | Logic-low (<0.5 V) activates LDO mode (18 μA IQ); logic-high (>1.5 V) enables PWM mode (600 mA) |
| 8 VIN | Main Power Input | Supplies internal MOSFETs and drivers; requires ≥1 μF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass to PGND |
| 9 SW | Power Switch Node | Drives external 2.2 μH inductor; high dv/dt node - minimize trace area and distance to PGND |
| 10 PGND | Power Ground Return | High-current return for PWM switch; must form tight loop with VIN and SW to limit EMI |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low-Noise LDO Mode | 75 μVRMS output noise with no burst-mode ripple - suitable for RF, ADC, and audio supply rails |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Capability | Enables operation with VIN as low as VOUT + 110 mV at 50 mA - critical for battery end-of-life support |
| Single-Capacitor Stability | Stable with 1 μF ceramic output capacitor - reduces BOM count and board space vs. traditional buck regulators |
| Integrated Power MOSFETs | 0.4 Ω high-side and low-side RDS(on) - eliminates external FETs and gate drivers for compact 600 mA solutions |
| Independent Analog/Power Grounds | AGND and PGND separation minimizes coupling of switching noise into feedback and reference circuits |
| Micropower Shutdown | <5 μA shutdown current with EN = low - preserves battery charge during long-term storage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRVR | 1.5 V fixed output; 2.05 MHz switching; 350 mA max; 22 μA LDO quiescent current; 6-pin WSON package | Lower output current; no LDO mode - uses PFM for light-load efficiency | Select when board space is constrained and 350 mA suffices; avoid if LDO-mode noise immunity is required. |
| RT8059NGSP | 1.5 V fixed output; 2 MHz switching; 600 mA max; 25 μA quiescent current; 10-pin WDFN package | No dedicated LDO mode - achieves low IQ via pulse-skipping; higher output ripple in light load | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 75 μVRMS noise is not mandatory; verify PSRR meets system sensitivity. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MIC2205-1.5YML-TR over temperature?
The MIC2205-1.5YML-TR provides a fixed 1.5 V output with ±2% tolerance across its full operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Fixed Output Voltages" with test conditions at TA = 25°C and bold values covering the full temperature range.
Can the MIC2205-1.5YML-TR operate with a 1 μF output capacitor?
Yes, the MIC2205-1.5YML-TR is explicitly characterized for stability with a minimum 1 μF ceramic output capacitor, as stated in the General Description and Applications Information sections. It uses type III internal compensation optimized for 1–4.7 μF capacitance, making 1 μF a valid and space-saving design choice.
What is the maximum continuous output current in LDO mode for the MIC2205-1.5YML-TR?
The MIC2205-1.5YML-TR delivers up to 60 mA continuously in LDO mode, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "LDO Current Limit" (60–120 mA) and the Functional Description section, which states "In linear (LDO) mode the output can deliver 60 mA of current to the output."
Does the MIC2205-1.5YML-TR require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the MIC2205-1.5YML-TR is a fixed 1.5 V output variant and does not require external feedback resistors. The FB pin is internally connected to a precision voltage divider; only a 100 pF feed-forward capacitor between FB and VOUT is recommended per the Typical Application schematic and Applications Information section.
What thermal protection features does the MIC2205-1.5YML-TR include?
The MIC2205-1.5YML-TR incorporates overtemperature shutdown at 160°C with 20°C hysteresis, as documented in the Electrical Characteristics table. This protects the device during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design, and the thermal shutdown threshold is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
