Product details
Overview
MIC2225-GFYMT-TR from Micrel is a dual-output power management IC integrating a 2MHz 600mA synchronous buck regulator and a 300mA low-dropout linear regulator (LDO), both operating from 2.7V–5.5V input. It delivers fixed 1.8V (buck) and 1.5V (LDO) outputs in a 10-pin 2mm × 2mm Thin MLF® package, targeting core/I/O rail generation for application processors and camera DSPs in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2225-GFYMT-TR datasheet, MIC2225-GFYMT-TR pinout, MIC2225-GFYMT-TR application, or MIC2225-GFYMT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-rail fixed-voltage configuration, ultra-low noise LDO output (470 µVRMS), 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor compatibility, thermal shutdown protection, and –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
The MIC2225-GFYMT-TR implements independent PWM and LDO regulation paths with separate enable controls (EN and ENLDO), allowing asynchronous power sequencing. Its buck stage uses internal P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs with 100% duty cycle capability and 0.4 Ω typical ON-resistance per switch.
The LDO section features 210 mV dropout at 300 mA, 43 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, and 470 µVRMS integrated output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz). Both regulators share AVIN/BIAS biasing architecture and employ separate ground paths (AGND/PGND) to minimize coupling between analog control and high-current switching domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| Buck Output | Fixed 1.8 V ±2% - suitable for core voltage of low-power application processors. |
| LDO Output | Fixed 1.5 V ±2% - provides clean I/O or interface supply with 210 mV dropout at full load. |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz ±10% - enables use of small 2.2 µH inductors and reduces EMI in compact layouts. |
| Efficiency | >95% at 100 mA (VIN = 3.6 V) - minimizes thermal rise and extends battery life in portable devices. |
| Output Capacitor | Stable with 2.2 µF ceramic - eliminates need for large electrolytics; simplifies layout and improves reliability. |
| Quiescent Current | <5 µA in shutdown (both regulators disabled) - preserves battery charge during deep sleep modes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin 2 mm × 2 mm Thin MLF® (Pb-free, NiPdAu lead finish, halogen-free mold compound), junction temperature range –40°C to +125°C.
| 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 terminal | Delivers regulated 1.5 V; requires direct connection to 2.2 µF output capacitor with minimal trace inductance. |
| 3 BIAS | Internal bias supply node | Powered via internal 6 Ω resistor from AVIN; bypassed with 0.1 µF capacitor to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
| 4 AVIN | Analog supply input | Provides power to LDO and control circuitry; must be tied to VIN but routed separately to reduce switching noise injection. |
| 5 FB | Buck feedback input | Internally connected to 1.8 V output for fixed-voltage operation; no external divider required. |
| 6 EN | Buck enable input | Logic-compatible control (VIL ≤ 0.2 V, VIH ≥ 1.0 V); disables buck stage and reduces IQ to <5 µA. |
| 7 ENLDO | LDO enable input | Independent logic-level control; shuts down LDO with <5 µA quiescent current when pulled low. |
| 8 VIN | Main power input | Supplies buck switches and drivers; requires local 1 µF ceramic bypass to PGND for high-frequency stability. |
| 9 SW | Switch node output | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt PWM current; must be kept short and away from sensitive analog traces. |
| 10 PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for buck stage; forms tight loop with VIN and SW to minimize EMI radiation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise LDO | 470 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) enables use in noise-sensitive analog/RF subsystems without additional filtering. |
| Integrated MOSFETs | Eliminates external high-side/low-side FETs and gate drivers - reduces BOM count and PCB area by ~30% vs discrete solutions. |
| Thermal & current protection | Auto-recovery thermal shutdown (160°C trip, 137°C hysteresis) and cycle-by-cycle current limiting prevent damage under overload or fault conditions. |
| Small footprint | 2 mm × 2 mm Thin MLF® package occupies only 4 mm² - ideal for space-constrained mobile and wearable applications. |
| Fast transient response | Capable of maintaining regulation during 100 mA load steps with <50 µs turn-on time - supports dynamic DVFS in application processors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output DC-DC + LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231RGTR | Single 600 mA buck only (no integrated LDO); requires external LDO for second rail. | Lacks integrated LDO - increases BOM count and board area; suitable only when LDO requirements are minimal or externally managed. | Select if system already includes a dedicated low-noise LDO and only needs buck efficiency optimization. |
| MAX8640YETA+ | 2.25 MHz dual buck (no LDO); 1.8 V/1.5 V fixed outputs; same 2 mm × 2 mm TDFN package. | Higher switching frequency but no LDO - cannot replace MIC2225-GFYMT-TR's noise-sensitive 1.5 V rail without adding external linear regulation. | Choose when EMI filtering is prioritized over LDO noise performance and board space allows separate LDO placement. |
Compared with TPS62231RGTR and MAX8640YETA+, the MIC2225-GFYMT-TR uniquely integrates a low-noise 300 mA LDO alongside its buck regulator in the same 2 mm × 2 mm footprint - eliminating external components needed for clean auxiliary rails in portable medical and imaging systems.

FAQ
What are the fixed output voltages of the MIC2225-GFYMT-TR?
The MIC2225-GFYMT-TR provides fixed 1.8 V from its synchronous buck regulator and fixed 1.5 V from its integrated LDO. These values are laser-trimmed at wafer test and specified with ±2% tolerance at 50 mA load and ±3% over the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. No external feedback resistors are required for either output.
Does the MIC2225-GFYMT-TR require external MOSFETs for the buck stage?
No, the MIC2225-GFYMT-TR integrates both high-side P-channel and low-side N-channel power MOSFETs internally. This eliminates the need for external switches, gate drivers, or bootstrap components - reducing total solution size and simplifying design validation for portable applications where board area is constrained.
Can the MIC2225-GFYMT-TR operate with a 2.2 µF output capacitor on both rails?
Yes, the MIC2225-GFYMT-TR is optimized for stability with 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitors on both the buck and LDO outputs. The buck stage uses Type III internal compensation tuned for this value, and the LDO maintains regulation with 2.2 µF while delivering 300 mA with <0.7% load regulation - enabling consistent performance without capacitor derating or complex tuning.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the MIC2225-GFYMT-TR?
The absolute maximum input voltage rating for the MIC2225-GFYMT-TR is +6 V on the VIN pin. However, the recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V may trigger overvoltage protection or cause permanent damage, and operation above 6 V violates absolute maximum ratings and risks device failure.
How does the MIC2225-GFYMT-TR handle thermal overload conditions?
The MIC2225-GFYMT-TR includes thermal shutdown protection that activates at 160°C junction temperature, with 23°C hysteresis (re-enabling at ~137°C). During shutdown, both regulators disable automatically and quiescent current drops below 5 µA. This self-protecting behavior prevents irreversible damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking in compact enclosures.
