MIC2204BMM

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Overview

The MIC2204BMM is a high-efficiency, synchronous buck converter manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates with a fixed switching frequency of 2MHz and supports an input voltage range from 2.3V to 5.5V. The device provides a single adjustable output voltage ranging from 1V to 5.5V, delivering up to 600mA of continuous output current. Designed for surface-mount installation, it utilizes a 10-MSOP package. The component functions within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and includes integrated protection features such as overcurrent limiting and thermal shutdown.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., BMM vs YMM) against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the ordering code matches the required packaging format, such as tube or tape-and-reel, as indicated in the procurement documentation. Cross-reference the RoHS status and moisture sensitivity level with project requirements before finalizing the purchase order.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution with high efficiency is required for low-power applications. The 2MHz frequency enables smaller passive components compared to lower-frequency alternatives. Verify that the maximum output current requirement does not exceed 600mA and that the input voltage remains within the 2.3V to 5.5V operational window. Consider the 10-MSOP package constraints for PCB layout space.
