The MIC2164-3YMM is a highly efficient synchronous buck regulator IC component designed for low voltage applications. It is manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc. and offers a range of features, making it suitable for various power management applications.
This IC component operates with an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, allowing it to be used with a wide range of power sources, including batteries and power adapters. The MIC2164-3YMM is particularly useful in portable devices that operate on single-cell lithium-ion or 3-cell nickel-metal hydride/nickel-cadmium batteries.
One of the key features of the MIC2164-3YMM is its high efficiency, which is achieved through its synchronous rectification topology. By minimizing power loss during switching transitions, this IC component can deliver output currents of up to 1.5A, thereby maximizing power conversion efficiency. This high efficiency makes it suitable for power-limited applications where energy conservation is crucial.
The MIC2164-3YMM also features an adjustable output voltage, which can be set between 0.8V and VIN (input voltage). This flexibility enables it to adapt to various load requirements. It also incorporates a built-in soft-start function, which reduces inrush current during startup, preventing voltage overshoot and enhancing system reliability.
Another notable feature of the MIC2164-3YMM is its comprehensive protection mechanism, which ensures safe operation
