Product details
Overview
MIC2295BML-TR from Micrel is a high-power-density 1.2 MHz PWM boost regulator with an integrated 34 V / 1.2 A bipolar switch, designed for space-constrained DC/DC conversion in portable electronics. It delivers up to 15 V @ 100 mA from a 3–4.2 V Li-ion input and features output over-voltage protection (OVP) clamping to 34 V - exclusive to the MLF-8L package.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2295BML-TR datasheet, MIC2295BML-TR pinout, MIC2295BML-TR application, or MIC2295BML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2 mm × 2 mm leadless MLF-8L footprint, OVP functionality, 1.24 V feedback reference, 1.2 MHz fixed-frequency current-mode control, and –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
The MIC2295BML-TR implements constant-frequency current-mode PWM control using an internal 1.2 MHz oscillator, slope-compensated ramp generator, and gm error amplifier. Its bipolar switch enables high peak-current capability without external MOSFET drivers.
It integrates OVP functionality via a dedicated OVP pin tied to VOUT, triggering shutdown if feedback is lost - a safety feature absent in the SOT-23 variant. The device uses analog ground (AGND) and power ground (PGND) separation to minimize noise coupling in high-switching-noise environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Current Limit | 1.2 A - supports ≥100 mA output at 15 V from 3.6 V input with margin for transient loads. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 1.2 MHz - enables use of sub-10 µH inductors and <10 µF ceramic output capacitors, reducing board area. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.24 V ±1% - sets output voltage via external resistor divider (VOUT = 1.24 V × (1 + R1/R2)). |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 10 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3–4.2 V), 3.3 V, and 5 V rails. |
| OVP Threshold | 32 V typical (30–34 V) - protects downstream circuitry during open-feedback or load-dump faults. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA - preserves battery life in standby mode for portable applications. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin-temperature environments. |
Pinout & Package
The MIC2295BML-TR is housed in a 2 mm × 2 mm, 8-lead leadless MicroLeadFrame (MLF™) package with exposed thermal pad (EP). This RoHS-compliant, surface-mount package provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 93°C/W) and supports reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch Node | Collector of internal bipolar transistor; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode - carries high dI/dt switching current. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground | No-connect pin - isolated from die; used for mechanical anchoring only. |
| 3 (FB) | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; regulates VOUT to 1.24 V reference with ±1% accuracy. |
| 4 (EN) | Enable Input | Active-high logic control (1.5 V threshold); disables switching and reduces quiescent current to <1 µA. |
| 5 (VIN) | Supply Input | Primary power input (2.5–10 V); powers internal bias circuits and switch driver. |
| 6 (OVP) | OVP Sense Input | Monitors VOUT directly; triggers shutdown if voltage exceeds 34 V - unique to MLF package. |
| 7 (AGND) | Analog Ground | Reference return for FB, EN, and OVP pins; must be routed separately from PGND to avoid noise injection. |
| 8 (PGND) | Power Ground | Return path for switch current and inductor; connects to EP pad for thermal and EMI performance. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground connection; must be soldered to PCB copper pour for θJA compliance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output Over-Voltage Protection | Dedicated OVP pin clamps output to ≤34 V during feedback loss or open-load fault - prevents SW node overstress and downstream damage. |
| High-Frequency 1.2 MHz Operation | Enables compact 4.7–10 µH inductors and 2.2–4.7 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution size and cost. |
| Internal Compensation | Eliminates external compensation network; ensures stable loop response across input/output/load variations without tuning. |
| Separate AGND and PGND | Reduces noise coupling between sensitive analog circuitry and high-current power paths - improves regulation accuracy and EMI. |
| UVLO with Hysteresis | Starts regulation only above 2.1 V and holds until VIN drops below 1.8 V - prevents erratic startup during brown-out conditions. |

FAQ
What is the function of the OVP pin on the MIC2295BML-TR?
The OVP pin on the MIC2295BML-TR monitors the output voltage directly. When tied to VOUT, it triggers internal shutdown if voltage exceeds ~32 V (30–34 V range), preventing damage during feedback resistor disconnection or open-load faults. This feature is exclusive to the MLF-8L package and is disabled when the OVP pin is grounded. The MIC2295BML-TR relies on this pin for fail-safe operation in mission-critical boost applications.
Can the MIC2295BML-TR operate from a 2.5 V input to generate 5 V at 400 mA?
Yes - the MIC2295BML-TR supports 2.5 V to 10 V input and can deliver 5 V at 400 mA using a 4.7 µH inductor and appropriate feedback resistors (e.g., R1 = 5.62 kΩ, R2 = 1.87 kΩ). Efficiency exceeds 85% at 3.6 V input per typical curves, and the 1.2 A switch current provides sufficient headroom. Layout must separate AGND and PGND, and the EP pad must be thermally connected to maximize performance of the MIC2295BML-TR.
Does the MIC2295BML-TR require external compensation components?
No - the MIC2295BML-TR features fully internal compensation, eliminating the need for external RC networks. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and ensures stable operation across its full operating range (–40°C to +125°C, 2.5–10 V input, 3–34 V output) without tuning. The internal compensation is optimized for ceramic output capacitors (2.2–10 µF) and inductors (4.7–10 µH), enabling rapid prototyping of the MIC2295BML-TR in compact boost designs.
How does the MIC2295BML-TR handle thermal management in the MLF-8L package?
The MIC2295BML-TR uses an exposed thermal pad (EP) on the underside of its 2 mm × 2 mm MLF-8L package, with a specified θJA of 93°C/W. Effective thermal management requires soldering the EP pad to a minimum 100 mm² PCB copper pour connected to internal ground planes via ≥4 thermal vias. This configuration maintains junction temperature within –40°C to +125°C limits under full load, ensuring long-term reliability of the MIC2295BML-TR in sealed or high-ambient environments.
Is the MIC2295BML-TR pin-compatible with other variants in the MIC2295 family?
No - the MIC2295BML-TR (MLF-8L) is not pin-compatible with the MIC2295BD5 (Thin SOT-23-5). The MLF-8L adds OVP, AGND, PGND, and N/C pins not present in the SOT-23 variant, and relocates GND and SW functions. Layouts must be redesigned for the MIC2295BML-TR; migration requires updating schematic symbols, footprints, and routing to accommodate the 8-pin leadless structure and dual-ground architecture.
