General Description

The MIC2290 is a 1.2MHz, PWM, boost-switching

regulator housed in the small size 2mm × 2mm 8-pin MLF®

package. The MIC2290 features an internal Schottky diode

that reduces circuit board area and total solution cost. High

power density is achieved with the MIC2290’s internal

34V/0.5A switch, allowing it to power large loads in a tiny

footprint.

The MIC2290 implements a constant frequency 1.2MHz

PWM control scheme. The high frequency operation saves

board space by reducing external component sizes. The

fixed frequency PWM topology also reduces switching

noise and ripple to the input power source.

The MIC2290’s wide 2.5V to 10V input voltage allows

direct operation from 3- to 4-cell NiCad/NiMH/Alkaline

batteries, 1-and 2-cell Li-Ion batteries, as well as fixed

3.3V and 5V systems.

The MIC2290 is available in a low-profile 2mm×2mm 8-pin

MLF®

leadless package and operates from a junction

temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
