General Description
The MIC2171 is a complete 100kHz SMPS current-mode
controller with an internal 65V 2.5A power switch.
Although primarily intended for voltage step-up applica-
tions, the floating switch architecture of the MIC2171
makes it practical for step-down, inverting, and Cuk config-
urations as well as isolated topologies.
Operating from 3V to 40V, the MIC2171 draws only 7mA
of quiescent current, making it attractive for battery
operated supplies.
The MIC2171 is available in a 5-pin TO-220 or TO-263 for
–40°C to +85°C operation.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on
Micrel’s web site at: www.micrel.com.

Functional Description
Refer to “Block Diagram MIC2171”.
Internal Power
The MIC2171 operates when V
IN
is 2.6V. An internal
2.3V regulator supplies biasing to all internal circuitry
including a precision 1.24V band gap reference.
PWM Operation
The 100kHz oscillator generates a signal with a duty
cycle of approximately 90%. The current-mode
comparator output is used to reduce the duty cycle when
the current amplifier output voltage exceeds the error
amplifier output voltage. The resulting PWM signal
controls a driver which supplies base current to output
transistor Q1.
Current-Mode Advantages
The MIC2171 operates in current mode rather than
voltage mode. There are three distinct advantages to
this technique. Feedback loop compensation is greatly
simplified because inductor current sensing removes a
pole from the closed loop response. Inherent cycle-by-
cycle current limiting greatly improves the power switch
reliability and provides automatic output current limiting.
Finally, current-mode operation provides automatic input
voltage feed forward which prevents instantaneous input
voltage changes from disturbing the output voltage
setting.
Anti-Saturation
The anti-saturation diode (D1) increases the usable duty
cycle range of the MIC2171 by eliminating the base to
collector stored charge which would delay Q1’s turnoff.
Compensation
Loop stability compensation of the MIC2171 can be
accomplished by connecting an appropriate network
from either COMP to circuit ground (see “Typical
Applications”) or COMP to FB.
The error amplifier output (COMP) is also useful for soft
start and current limiting. Because the error amplifier
output is a transconductance type, the output impedance
is relatively high which means the output voltage can be
easily clamped or adjusted externally.

Figure 4. Current Limit
The maximum current limit of the MIC2171 can be
reduced by adding a voltage clamp to the COMP output
(Figure 4). This feature can be useful in applications
requiring either a complete shutdown of Q1’s switching
action or a form of current fold-back limiting. This use of
the COMP output does not disable the oscillator,
amplifiers or other circuitry, therefore, the supply current
is never less than approximately 5mA.
Thermal Management
Although the MIC2171 family contains thermal protection
circuitry, for best reliability, avoid prolonged operation
with junction temperatures near the rated maximum.
The junction temperature is determined by first
calculating the power dissipation of the device. For the
MIC2171, the total power dissipation is the sum of the
device operating losses and power switch losses.
The device operating losses are the dc losses
associated with biasing all of the internal functions plus
the losses of the power switch driver circuitry. The dc
losses are calculated from the supply voltage (V
IN
) and
device supply current (I
Q
).The MIC2171 supply current is
almost constant regardless of the supply voltage (see
“Electrical Characteristics”). The driver section losses
(not including the switch) are a function of supply
voltage, power switch current, and duty cycle.

P
(bias+driver)
= 0.1W
Power switch dissipation calculations are greatly
simplified by making two assumptions which are usually
fairly accurate. First, the majority of losses in the power
switch are due to on-losses. To find these losses, assign
a resistance value to the collector/emitter terminals of
the device using the saturation voltage versus collector
current curves (see Typical Performance Character-
istics). Power switch losses are calculated by modeling
the switch as a resistor with the switch duty cycle
modifying the average power dissipation.

Single point ground
Figure 5. Single Point Ground
A single point ground is strongly recommended for
proper operation.
The signal ground, compensation network ground, and
feed-back network connections are sensitive to minor
voltage variations. The input and output capacitor
grounds and power ground conductors will exhibit
voltage drop when carrying large currents. Keep the
sensitive circuit ground traces separate from the power
ground traces. Small voltage variations applied to the
sensitive circuits can prevent the MIC2171 or any
switching regulator from functioning properly.
Boost Conversion
Refer to Figure 1 for a typical boost conversion
application where a +5V logic supply is available but
+12V at 0.25A is required.
The first step in designing a boost converter is
determining whether inductor L1 will cause the converter
to operate in either continuous or discontinuous mode.
Discontinuous mode is preferred because the feedback
control of the converter is simpler.
When L1 discharges its current completely during the
MIC2171 off-time, it is operating in discontinuous mode.
L1 is operating in continuous mode if it does not
discharge completely before the MIC2171 power switch
is turned on again.
Discontinuous Mode Design
Given the maximum output current, solve equation (1) to
determine whether the device can operate in
discontinuous mode without initiating the internal device
current limit.

Flyback Conversion
Flyback converter topology may be used in low power
applications where voltage isolation is required or
whenever the input voltage can be less than or greater
than the output voltage. As with the step-up converter
the inductor (transformer primary) current can be
continuous or discontinuous. Discontinuous operation is
recommended.
Figure 2 shows a practical flyback converter design
using the MIC2171.
Switch Operation
During Q1’s on time (Q1 is the internal NPN transistor—
see block diagrams), energy is stored in T1’s primary
inductance. During Q1’s off time, stored energy is
partially discharged into C4 (output filter capacitor).
Careful selection of a low ESR capacitor for C4 may
provide satisfactory output ripple voltage making
additional filter stages unnecessary.
C1 (input capacitor) may be reduced or eliminated if the
MIC2171 is located near a low impedance voltage
source.
Output Diode
The output diode allows T1 to store energy in its primary
inductance (D2 non-conducting) and release energy into
C4 (D2 conducting). The low forward voltage drop of a
Schottky diode minimizes power loss in D2.
Frequency Compensation
A simple frequency compensation network consisting of
R3 and C2 prevents output oscillations.
High impedance output stages (transconductance type)
in the MIC2171 often permit simplified loop-stability
solutions to be connected to circuit ground, although a
more conventional technique of connecting the
components from the error amplifier output to its
inverting input is also possible.
Voltage Clipper
Care must be taken to minimize T1’s leakage
inductance, otherwise it may be necessary to
incorporate the voltage clipper consisting of D1, R4, and
C3 to avoid second breakdown (failure) of the
MIC2171’s internal power switch.
Discontinuous Mode Design
When designing a discontinuous flyback converter, first
determine whether the device can safely handle the
peak primary current demand placed on it by the output
power. Equation (8) finds the maximum duty cycle
required for a given input voltage and output power. If
the duty cycle is greater than 0.8, discontinuous
operation cannot be used.

Use a 12µH primary inductance to overcome circuit

To complete the design the inductance value of the
secondary is found which will guarantee that the energy
stored in the transformer during the power switch on
time will be completed discharged into the output during
the off-time. This is necessary when operating in
discontinuous-mode.

Forward Converters
Micrel’s MIC2171 can be used in several circuit
configurations to generate an output voltage which is
less than the input voltage (buck or step-down topology).
Figure 6 shows the MIC2171 in a voltage step-down
application. Because of the internal architecture of these
devices, more external components are required to
implement a step-down regulator than with other devices
offered by Micrel (refer to the LM257x or MIC457x family
of buck switchers). However, for step-down conversion
requiring a transformer (forward), the MIC2171 is a good
choice.
A 12V to 5V step-down converter using transformer
isolation (forward) is shown in Figure 6. Unlike the
isolated flyback converter which stores energy in the
primary inductance during the controller’s on-time and
releases it to the load during the off-time, the forward
converter transfers energy to the output during the on-

time, using the off-time to reset the transformer core. In
the application shown, the transformer core is reset by
the tertiary winding discharging T1’s peak magnetizing
current through D2.
For most forward converters the duty cycle is limited to
50%, allowing the transformer flux to reset with only two
times the input voltage appearing across the power
switch. Although during normal operation this circuit’s
duty cycle is well below 50%, the MIC2172 has a
maximum duty cycle capability of 90%. If 90% was
required during operation (start-up and high load
currents), a complete reset of the transformer during the
off-time would require the voltage across the power
switch to be ten times the input voltage. This would limit
the input voltage to 6V or less for forward converter
applications.
To prevent core saturation, the application given here
uses a duty cycle limiter consisting of Q1, C4 and R3.
Whenever the MIC2171 exceeds a duty cycle of 50%,
T1’s reset winding current turns Q1 on. This action
reduces the duty cycle of the MIC2171 until T1 is able to
reset during each cycle.
