Functional Description
Refer "Block Diagram MIC2172" "Block Diagram MIC3172." Internal Power MIC2172/3172 operates when 2.6V (and 2.0V MIC3172). internal 2.3V regulator supplies biasing internal circuitry including precision 1.24V band reference. enable control (MIC3172 only) enables disables internal regulator which supplies power other internal circuitry. Operation 100kHz oscillator generates signal with duty cycle approximately 90%. current-mode comparator output used reduce duty cycle when current amplifier output voltage exceeds error amplifier output voltage. resulting signal controls driver which supplies base current output transistor Current Mode Advantages MIC2172/3172 operates current mode rather than voltage mode. There three distinct advantages this
technique. Feedback loop compensation greatly simplified because inductor current sensing removes pole from closed loop response. Inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting greatly improves power switch reliability provides automatic output current limiting. Finally, current-mode operation provides automatic input voltage feed forward which prevents instantaneous input voltage changes from disturbing output voltage setting. Anti-Saturation anti-saturation diode (D1) increases usable duty cycle range MIC2172/3172 eliminating base collector stored charge which would delay Q1's turnoff. Compensation Loop stability compensation MIC2172/3172 accomplished connecting appropriate network from either COMP circuit ground (Typical Applications) COMP error amplifier output (COMP) also useful soft start current limiting. Because error amplifier output transconductance type, output impedance relatively high which means output voltage easily clamped adjusted externally.
