Product details
Overview
MIC2571-2BMM-TR from Micrel is a micropower adjustable-output boost switching regulator designed for single-cell battery systems (0.9V–15V input), delivering up to 36V output with 1.1A current limiting and 20kHz fixed-frequency operation. It integrates a gated-oscillator architecture, internal 0.22V reference, and SYNC input for noise reduction in portable instrumentation and LCD bias supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2571-2BMM-TR datasheet, MIC2571-2BMM-TR pinout, MIC2571-2BMM-TR application, or MIC2571-2BMM-TR equivalent, key selection factors include its adjustable feedback threshold (0.22V), MSOP-8 package footprint, 120µA quiescent current, and compatibility with low-ESR tantalum output capacitors in space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The MIC2571-2BMM-TR implements a gated-oscillator boost topology where the NPN switch (SW pin) is disabled when output voltage exceeds the comparator threshold (0.22V at FB), minimizing quiescent current. Its oscillator operates at a fixed 20kHz with 67% duty cycle optimized for ~3× VIN-to-VOUT ratios.
Feedback is applied via external resistor divider to the FB pin, referencing the stable 0.22V bandgap. The SYNC pin accepts falling-edge-triggered external clock signals to synchronize switching and reduce EMI, while current limiting modifies duty cycle-not frequency-above 1.2A to protect the switch and inductor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.9V to 15V - supports alkaline, NiMH, or lithium single-cell sources across full discharge curve. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 36V - set by external resistor divider on FB pin; enables flexible bias generation for LCDs or sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 120µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in low-duty-cycle remote controls and detectors. |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.1A - protects internal NPN pass element and external inductor during overload or short-circuit events. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 20kHz fixed - balances efficiency and component size; synchronizable via SYNC pin to suppress system-level noise. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.22V ±6mV hysteresis - high-precision bandgap reference ensures stable regulation across –40°C to +85°C. |
| Package | 8-lead MSOP (MM) - 3mm × 3mm footprint with exposed pad thermal path; compatible with standard SMT reflow. |
Pinout & Package
8-lead MSOP (MM) package with θJA = 240°C/W and rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation. Exposed pad recommended for thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Supply Input | Positive input voltage connection (0.9V–15V); decoupled with ≥47µF low-ESR capacitor near pin. |
| 2 (SYNC) | Synchronization Input | Falling-edge triggered; grounds unused to prevent spurious oscillation; enables EMI control in mixed-signal systems. |
| 3 (FB) | Feedback Input | 0.22V reference node; connects to center tap of external resistor divider to set VOUT = 0.22V × (1 + R2/R1). |
| 4 (NC) | No Connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid latch-up or parametric shift. |
| 5 (SW) | Switch Collector | NPN transistor collector output; drives external inductor; requires Schottky diode (e.g., MBR0530) and low-DCR inductor (e.g., 150µH). |
| 6 (GND) | Power Ground | Emiter return for internal NPN switch; must be low-impedance plane tied directly to input/output capacitor grounds. |
| 7 (NC) | No Connect | Not internally bonded; leave floating or grounded only if required by PCB layout symmetry. |
| 8 (NC) | No Connect | Not internally bonded; no electrical function; avoid routing signals underneath. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Gated Oscillator Architecture | Disables SW pin when VOUT > regulation threshold, reducing quiescent current to 120µA and improving light-load efficiency. |
| Adjustable Output (0.22V Reference) | Enables precise VOUT setting from VIN to 36V using two external resistors-no trimming required. |
| SYNC Input for Noise Control | Allows correlation of switching edges with system clocks, suppressing broadband EMI in sensitive RF or audio subsystems. |
| 1.1A Internal Current Limit | Soft-limiting behavior prevents destructive inductor saturation while maintaining safe thermal operation under transient overloads. |
| MSOP-8 Footprint | 0.3 in² total solution area (excluding input cap) meets strict size constraints in pagers, palmtops, and handheld medical devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX682ESA+ | Fixed 5V output; 300kHz switching; 350µA quiescent current; SO-8 package. | Limited to fixed 5V; higher IQ reduces battery life in ultra-low-power use cases. | Select when fixed 5V output suffices and higher switching frequency enables smaller magnetics. |
| TPS61099YFFR | Adjustable 1.8–5.5V output; 1.2MHz switching; 0.6µA shutdown current; 6-pin WSON. | Max output 5.5V only; unsuitable for >12V LCD bias or detector HV rails. | Prefer for sub-5V logic supply where minimal IQ and tiny footprint outweigh voltage range needs. |
Compared with MAX682ESA+ and TPS61099YFFR, the MIC2571-2BMM-TR uniquely supports up to 36V output with 120µA quiescent current in an MSOP-8, making it the only viable choice for high-voltage, single-cell portable bias generation without external MOSFETs or transformers.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MIC2571-2BMM-TR startup?
The MIC2571-2BMM-TR guarantees startup at 0.9V input under load conditions up to 100mA. This enables reliable operation across the full discharge curve of alkaline, NiMH, and lithium primary cells. Below 0.9V, regulation may not be maintained, though the device remains functional down to ~0.7V in no-load conditions. Always verify startup margin with worst-case battery ESR and temperature in final design.
Can MIC2571-2BMM-TR generate negative output voltages?
Yes, the MIC2571-2BMM-TR can generate negative outputs using an inverting boost (flyback-derived) configuration, as shown in Application Example 6 of the datasheet. With appropriate external components-including two Schottky diodes, one inductor, and resistor divider-the MIC2571-2BMM-TR delivers –12V at 2mA from a 1.5V cell. Feedback is referenced to GND, so the –VOUT equation includes diode forward drop compensation.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on MIC2571-2BMM-TR?
The MIC2571-2BMM-TR has three NC (No Connect) pins: Pin 4, Pin 7, and Pin 8. These pins are not internally bonded and serve no electrical function. They must remain unconnected-neither tied to GND nor routed-to prevent parasitic coupling, latch-up, or shifts in reference accuracy. Datasheet Figure 3 explicitly labels them as "Not internally connected" and warns against soldering or routing traces to these pads.
How does the SYNC pin affect MIC2571-2BMM-TR operation?
The SYNC pin on the MIC2571-2BMM-TR accepts a falling-edge-triggered external clock signal to reset the internal oscillator, enabling deterministic switching alignment. When unused, it must be grounded to prevent noise-induced false triggering. Unlike free-running mode, synchronized operation reduces spectral spreading of EMI, simplifying compliance testing in RF-dense environments like wireless remotes or medical telemetry devices.
What output capacitor ESR is recommended for MIC2571-2BMM-TR?
Micrel specifies ≤50mΩ ESR for output capacitors used with the MIC2571-2BMM-TR to limit ripple voltage-e.g., a 500mA peak inductor current into 200mΩ ESR yields 100mV ripple. Tantalum capacitors (e.g., Sprague 594D series, ESR ≈ 0.11Ω) are validated in application examples. Aluminum electrolytics are discouraged due to higher ESR (>200mΩ), which degrades regulation and efficiency, especially at low temperatures.
