The MIC2238 is dual output, High-efficiency synchronous step-down DC/DC converter. The MIC2238 is ideally suited for portable systems which demand high power conversion efficiencies while offered in a very small package. The MIC2238 offers an ultra-low quiescent current in light load mode assuring minimum current draw from battery powered applications in standby modes. The MIC2238 was designed for use of miniature 2.2H inductors and 2.2F ceramic capacitors. The MIC2238 features a selectable mode that allows the user to trade-off lowest noise performance for low power efficiency. Trickle mode operation provides ultra-high efficiency at light loads, while PWM operation provides very low ripple noise performance. To maximize battery life in low-dropout conditions, MIC2238 can operate with a maximum duty cycle of 100%.
