Product details
Overview
MIC2225-G4YMT-TR from Micrel is a dual-output power management IC integrating a 2MHz 600mA synchronous buck regulator and a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator, delivering fixed 1.8V (buck) and 1.2V (LDO) outputs. It operates from 2.7V–5.5V input, achieves >95% efficiency at full load, and targets core/I/O rail generation for application processors and camera DSPs in space-constrained portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2225-G4YMT-TR datasheet, MIC2225-G4YMT-TR pinout, MIC2225-G4YMT-TR application, or MIC2225-G4YMT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-rail fixed-voltage configuration, 10-pin 2mm×2mm Thin MLF® package, ultra-low noise LDO output (470µVRMS), and independent enable control for each regulator section.
Technical Context
The MIC2225-G4YMT-TR implements a constant-frequency 2MHz PWM architecture with internal P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs, enabling fast transient response and stable operation with only a 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor. Its buck section supports 100% duty cycle for low-input dropout operation, while the LDO block features 210mV dropout at 300mA and 43dB PSRR at 1kHz.
Both regulators share independent logic-level enables (EN and ENLDO), analog/digital ground separation (AGND/PGND), and dedicated bias (BIAS) and analog supply (AVIN) pins to minimize switching noise coupling into the LDO path. The device integrates thermal shutdown, current limiting, and UVLO with 70mV hysteresis across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and regulated 3.3V/5V rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Buck Output | 1.8V fixed - supplies core voltage for application processors requiring tight regulation (±2% over load/temperature). |
| LDO Output | 1.2V fixed - powers sensitive analog or I/O circuitry with ultra-low 470µVRMS noise (10Hz–100kHz) and 210mV dropout at 300mA. |
| Switching Frequency | 2MHz ±10% - enables use of small 2.2µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering requirements in compact layouts. |
| Efficiency | >95% at 100mA (VIN=3.6V, VOUT=1.2V) - minimizes thermal dissipation in sealed portable enclosures. |
| Quiescent Current | <5µA in shutdown (both EN and ENLDO low) - extends battery life in standby modes. |
| Junction Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive infotainment and industrial handheld environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin 2mm × 2mm Thin MLF® (Pb-free, NiPdAu lead finish, halogen-free mold compound), thermally enhanced with exposed thermal pad (MT suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 AGND | Analog ground reference | Return path for feedback, bias, and LDO control circuitry; must be isolated from PGND to prevent noise coupling. |
| 2 LDO | LDO output | 1.2V regulated output; requires 2.2µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin for stability and noise suppression. |
| 3 BIAS | Internal bias supply | Powered via internal 6Ω resistor from AVIN; bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
| 4 AVIN | Analog supply input | Supplies LDO and control circuitry; tied externally to VIN but routed separately to reduce switching noise injection. |
| 5 FB | Buck feedback node | Internally connected to 1.8V output; no external divider needed for fixed-output variant MIC2225-G4YMT-TR. |
| 6 EN | Buck enable input | Active-high logic control; <0.2V disables buck stage, reducing IQ to <5µA and tri-stating SW output. |
| 7 ENLDO | LDO enable input | Active-high logic control; <0.2V disables LDO, reducing IQ to <5µA and disconnecting LDO output. |
| 8 VIN | Main power input | Supplies buck MOSFETs and current sensing; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor close to VIN–PGND loop. |
| 9 SW | Buck switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt PWM current; must be short, wide, and shielded from sensitive analog traces. |
| 10 PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for buck stage; separate copper pour from AGND/SGND to avoid ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent regulators | Simultaneous 1.8V/600mA buck and 1.2V/300mA LDO outputs with separate EN/ENLDO controls enable flexible power sequencing and rail isolation. |
| Ultra-low noise LDO | 470µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) and 43dB PSRR at 1kHz allow clean power delivery to RF receivers and ADCs without additional filtering. |
| 2MHz constant-frequency PWM | Enables use of miniature 2.2µH inductors and reduces size of input/output capacitors versus lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Thermal and current protection | Integrated thermal shutdown (160°C trip, 23°C hysteresis) and cycle-by-cycle current limit (0.675A min) ensure robust operation under fault conditions. |
| Small-footprint packaging | 10-pin 2mm × 2mm Thin MLF® package with exposed thermal pad delivers high power density and improved thermal performance in <10mm² PCB area. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231RGTR | Single 600mA buck only (no integrated LDO); 2.25MHz switching; requires external LDO for second rail. | Lacks native dual-rail integration - increases component count and board area for LDO-dependent loads. | Select when only buck rail is needed or when LDO requirements permit discrete implementation. |
| RT8059GQW | Dual buck (not buck+LDO); 1.5A/1.5A outputs; 2.5MHz; no LDO noise performance or ultra-low dropout capability. | Higher current but unsuitable for noise-sensitive analog loads due to absence of linear regulation stage. | Select for higher-current digital-only applications where LDO-grade cleanliness is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS62231RGTR and RT8059GQW, the MIC2225-G4YMT-TR uniquely combines high-efficiency switching with ultra-low-noise linear regulation in one 2mm×2mm package - making it optimal for mixed-signal SoC power where rail isolation, noise immunity, and footprint are critical.

FAQ
What are the fixed output voltages of the MIC2225-G4YMT-TR?
The MIC2225-G4YMT-TR provides two fixed output voltages: 1.8V from the synchronous buck regulator and 1.2V from the integrated LDO. These values are factory-trimmed and do not require external feedback resistors - the FB pin is internally connected to the 1.8V output for this variant.
Does the MIC2225-G4YMT-TR require external compensation components?
No, the MIC2225-G4YMT-TR uses Type III internal compensation optimized for 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors. External compensation is not required, and adding external components may destabilize the control loop. Layout adherence to recommended grounding and decoupling practices ensures stable operation.
Can the buck and LDO sections of the MIC2225-G4YMT-TR be enabled independently?
Yes, the MIC2225-G4YMT-TR features independent enable inputs: EN controls the buck regulator and ENLDO controls the LDO. Both are active-high logic inputs with thresholds of 1.0V (high) and 0.2V (low), allowing flexible power sequencing and individual rail shutdown to minimize system standby current.
What is the maximum continuous output current for each regulator in the MIC2225-G4YMT-TR?
The MIC2225-G4YMT-TR delivers up to 600mA from the buck regulator in PWM mode and up to 300mA from the LDO. These ratings assume proper thermal management - the 2mm×2mm Thin MLF® package has a θJA of 90°C/W, and junction temperature must remain ≤125°C under worst-case ambient and load conditions.
Is the MIC2225-G4YMT-TR RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MIC2225-G4YMT-TR is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, packaged in a Pb-free 10-pin 2mm×2mm Thin MLF® with NiPdAu lead finish and halogen-free mold compound - meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 handling requirements.
