Product details
Overview
MIC2206-1.8YML-TR from Microchip Technology is a 2 MHz synchronous buck regulator with integrated MOSFETs, delivering up to 600 mA output in PWM mode and 60 mA in LDO mode, featuring 1.8 V fixed PWM output and 1.0 V LDO output, 18 µA quiescent current in LDO mode, and stable operation with 1 µF ceramic output capacitor for portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2206-1.8YML-TR datasheet, MIC2206-1.8YML-TR pinout, MIC2206-1.8YML-TR application, or MIC2206-1.8YML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include light-load efficiency (18 µA IQ), dual-mode operation (PWM/LDO), 100% duty cycle capability, ultra-low noise (75 µVRMS), and compatibility with compact 3 mm × 3 mm VDFN-10L packaging for space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The MIC2206-1.8YML-TR integrates a constant-frequency 2 MHz PWM controller with an independent low-noise LDO block, enabling seamless transition between high-efficiency switching regulation and ultra-low-quiescent linear regulation via the LOWQ pin. It uses internal P-channel high-side and N-channel low-side MOSFETs with 0.4 Ω typical on-resistance.
Its control architecture includes voltage-mode PWM with internal error amplifier, soft-start, anti-shoot-through logic, and separate analog (AGND/AVIN) and power (PGND) ground paths. The device supports 100% duty cycle operation down to 2.7 V input, enabling low-dropout performance when VIN approaches VOUT.

Pinout & Package
Packaged in a Pb-free 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.9 mm VDFN-10L (ML) with exposed thermal pad (EP/GND), the MIC2206-1.8YML-TR features 10 signal terminals and a backside ground pad optimized for thermal dissipation in high-density layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate low-noise return path for FB, BIAS, and control circuitry; must be isolated from PGND |
| 2 LDO | LDO output node | Connects directly to VOUT in LOWQ mode; high-impedance in PWM mode - enables clean handoff between regulation modes |
| 3 BIAS | Internal bias supply input | Powered from AVIN via 6 Ω resistor; requires 0.1 µF bypass to AGND to suppress high-frequency noise |
| 4 AVIN | Analog supply input | Provides power to LDO and bias circuits; must tie to VIN with careful layout to avoid coupling switching noise |
| 5 FB | Feedback input | Connects to internal 100 pF compensation capacitor and resistor divider; sets regulation point for adjustable variants (not used in fixed 1.8 V version) |
| 6 EN | Enable control input | Logic-low disables all circuitry (<5 µA shutdown current); open-drain or CMOS-compatible interface |
| 7 LOWQ | Mode select input | Logic-low activates LDO mode (18 µA IQ); logic-high enables 2 MHz PWM mode - direct hardware-controlled mode switching |
| 8 VIN | Main power input | Supplies internal MOSFETs and drivers; requires ≥1 µF ceramic bypass close to PGND |
| 9 SW | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, low-inductance routing away from sensitive signals |
| 10 PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for MOSFETs and inductor; must form tight loop with VIN and SW to minimize EMI |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Light-load LDO mode | Reduces quiescent current to 18 µA while maintaining regulated 1.0 V output - eliminates burst-mode ripple in always-on subsystems |

FAQ
What is the output voltage configuration of the MIC2206-1.8YML-TR?
The MIC2206-1.8YML-TR provides a fixed 1.8 V output in PWM mode and a fixed 1.0 V output in LDO mode, as indicated by the "-1.8" suffix in the part number. This dual-output capability is implemented internally with no external feedback components required, and the mode is selected solely by the LOWQ pin state.
Does the MIC2206-1.8YML-TR require external compensation components?
No, the MIC2206-1.8YML-TR uses internal type III compensation and is optimized for stability with a 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor. The datasheet confirms it remains stable with output capacitance ranging from 1 µF to 4.7 µF, eliminating the need for external compensation networks in standard applications.
How does the LOWQ pin control regulation mode in the MIC2206-1.8YML-TR?
The LOWQ pin directly selects regulation mode: a logic-low voltage (<0.5 V) enables the internal LDO, disabling PWM switching and reducing quiescent current to 18 µA; a logic-high voltage (>1.5 V) enables 2 MHz PWM operation, supporting up to 600 mA output. The transition between modes is seamless, with no output voltage glitch.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the MIC2206-1.8YML-TR use?
The MIC2206-1.8YML-TR uses a 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.9 mm VDFN-10L (ML) package with an exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 60°C/W, and it operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, with thermal shutdown activating at 160°C and 20°C hysteresis.
Can the MIC2206-1.8YML-TR operate with a 2.7 V input and 1.8 V output?
Yes, the MIC2206-1.8YML-TR supports 100% maximum duty cycle, allowing it to maintain regulation even when VIN equals VOUT. At 2.7 V input and 1.8 V output, it operates in dropout with minimal voltage differential, delivering full 600 mA in PWM mode and sustaining regulation in LDO mode down to the minimum input specification.
