The MIC4576 is a series of easy to use fixed and adjustable BiCMOS step-down (buck) switch-mode voltage regulators. The 200kHz MIC4576 duplicates the pinout and function of the 52kHz LM2576. The higher switching frequency may allow up to a 2:1 reduction in output filter inductor size. The MIC4576 is available in 3.3V, and 5V fixed output versions or a 1.23V to 33V adjustable output version. Both versions are capable of driving a 3A load with excellent line and load regulation.
