Product details
Overview
MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR from Microchip Technology is a 2 MHz synchronous boost regulator with bidirectional true load disconnect, designed for portable power reserve and USB OTG/HDMI host supplies. It delivers up to 2A continuous output at VIN = 3.0V/VOUT = 5.0V, features 6.5A typical switch current limit, integrated anti-ringing switch for EMI reduction, and operates across 2.5V–5.5V input range with fixed 5.5V output.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR datasheet, MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR pinout, MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR application, or MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5.5V fixed output, bidirectional shutdown behavior, ultra-fast transient response in portable battery-powered systems, and compatibility with compact 2 × 2 mm FTQFN packaging requiring minimal external components.
Technical Context
The MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR implements current-mode PWM control with internal compensation and a 2 MHz oscillator, enabling small external inductor (1 µH) and ceramic capacitor (3 × 22 µF) usage. Its architecture integrates high-side NMOS and low-side PMOS switches with active anti-ringing clamping during DCM to suppress SW node ringing.
Bidirectional true load disconnect is achieved by fully turning off both MOSFETs and disabling the body diode path when EN = GND, eliminating leakage between VIN and VOUT. Bypass mode activates automatically when VIN ≥ VOUT, routing input directly to output via the low-RDS(on) PMOS (33 mΩ typ.), while pre-charge current limiting (0.5A typ.) protects against start-up inrush into heavy or shorted loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.5V - eliminates need for external feedback resistors; stable for USB OTG and HDMI host VBUS generation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), Li-polymer, and 3.3V/5V rail inputs without level shifting. |
| Switch Current Limit | 6.5A typical - enables robust 2A continuous output at 3V input, critical for parallel lithium cell backup applications. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% - achieved at mid-load with 2 MHz switching, minimizing thermal stress in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Shutdown Current | <2 µA typical - preserves battery life in always-on portable equipment during standby or disable states. |
| Overvoltage Protection | 6.6–6.75V threshold - latches off on overvoltage events to prevent damage to downstream 5V logic or USB peripherals. |
| Package | 8-pin FTQFN 2 × 2 mm - surface-mount footprint with exposed thermal pad; compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B land pattern. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin FTQFN (2 mm × 2 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad). Pin 1 marked by dot; pins numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input power supply connection | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; requires ≥22 µF ceramic bulk cap to PGND for stability under high peak current demand. |
| AGND (Pin 2) | Analog reference ground | Separate low-noise return for internal bias and control circuitry; must be star-connected to PGND near IC. |
| PGND (Pin 3) | Power ground return | High-current return path for boost switch; requires short, wide trace to minimize voltage bounce during switching. |
| SW (Pin 4) | Internal switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high dv/dt; routing must avoid sensitive analog traces to reduce EMI coupling. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 5.5V; requires ≥3 × 22 µF low-ESR ceramic caps to PGND for transient response and ripple suppression. |
| EN (Pin 6) | Enable control input | Active-high logic; internal 2.5 MΩ pull-down; must not float-tie to VIN via 10 kΩ resistor if always enabled. |
| VOUTS (Pin 7) | Fixed-output voltage sense | Internally connected to VOUT in fixed versions; used for precise OVP and PG monitoring without external divider. |
| PG (Pin 8) | Power Good open-drain output | Asserts high when VOUT ≥ 91% of 5.5V (≥5.005V); requires 1 MΩ pull-up to VIN for system power sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional true load disconnect | Zero leakage path between VIN and VOUT when disabled-prevents reverse current flow in battery backup or dual-supply systems. |
| Integrated anti-ringing switch | Clamps SW node to VIN at end of DCM cycle-reduces EMI emissions by >10 dB compared to conventional boost topologies. |
| Automatic bypass mode | Enables direct VIN-to-VOUT conduction when VIN ≥ 5.5V-eliminates switching losses and improves efficiency at high input voltages. |
| Controlled pre-charge current limit | 0.5A typical limit during startup when VOUT < 0.5V-prevents inrush damage to capacitors or loads during cold boot. |
| Ultra-fast transient response | Sub-100 µs recovery from 0.01A → 1.5A load steps-maintains VOUT regulation within ±20 mV in USB OTG host applications. |
Applications
| USB OTG Host Power | Portable Power Reserve |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61236PRTVR | 5.2V fixed output; 4A switch; 2.5V–4.5V input range; no bidirectional disconnect; requires external PG resistor network. | Limited to lower input max (4.5V); lacks true load isolation-unsuitable for battery backup where reverse current must be blocked. | Select when input stays ≤4.5V and bidirectional isolation is unnecessary; verify PG interface compatibility. |
| MAX17222ETA+T | 5.0V fixed output; 1.2A max output; 0.7V–5.5V input; no OVP latch; no PG pin; 1.2 MHz switching. | Lower current capability and missing OVP/PG limits use in USB/HDMI host roles; better suited for ultra-low-power sensor nodes. | Choose only for sub-1A loads with relaxed protection requirements; not drop-in for MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR's 2A/5.5V/OVP/PG feature set. |
Compared with TPS61236PRTVR and MAX17222ETA+T, the MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR uniquely combines 5.5V fixed output, 2A capability at low VIN, bidirectional disconnect, and integrated PG/OVP-making it the only option qualified for USB OTG host and HDMI power delivery in portable dual-battery systems.

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR?
The MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR provides a fixed 5.5V output voltage. This is implemented internally using the VOUTS pin tied to VOUT, eliminating the need for external feedback resistors. The output remains stable across input voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V and load currents up to 2A (at VIN = 3.0V), making it ideal for USB OTG and HDMI host power rails where precise 5V-class regulation is required.
Does the MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR support bidirectional load disconnect?
Yes, the MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR features true bidirectional load disconnect. When EN is driven low, both internal NMOS and PMOS switches turn off and the PMOS body diode is actively blocked-preventing any forward or reverse current flow between VIN and VOUT. This behavior is confirmed in Figures 2-23 and 2-24 of the datasheet and is essential for battery backup systems where reverse leakage must be eliminated.
What package type does the MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR use?
The MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR uses an 8-pin FTQFN package measuring 2 mm × 2 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This package is documented in the "Package Types" section (page 2) and "Pin Descriptions" (page 11) of DS20005873A. It supports high thermal performance (θJA = 50°C/W) and is compatible with standard reflow soldering processes.
How does the MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR handle overvoltage conditions?
The MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR includes latch-off overvoltage protection (OVP) triggered when VOUT exceeds 6.6–6.75V. Upon activation, the device shuts down completely and remains latched until either the input supply is cycled or the EN pin is toggled. This protection is independent of the PG signal and is explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 5) under "Overvoltage Protection Threshold".
Is the MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR compatible with automatic bypass mode?
Yes, the MIC2877-5.5YFT-TR automatically enters bypass mode when VIN ≥ VOUT (i.e., VIN ≥ 5.5V). In this mode, the NMOS switch turns off and the PMOS operates as a low-impedance pass element (RDS(on) = 33 mΩ typ.), delivering input voltage directly to the output with minimal dropout and zero switching loss. This behavior is detailed in Section 5.4 and Figure 2-21 of DS20005873A.
