Micrel
General Description
The MIC2800 is a high performance power management IC, giving three output voltages with maximum efficiency. Integrating a 2MHz DC/DC converter with an LDO post regulator, the MIC2800 gives two high efficiency outputs with a second, 300mA LDO for maximum flexibility. The MIC2800 features a LOWQ® mode, reducing the total current draw while in this mode to less than 30µA. In LOWQ® mode, the output noise of the DC to DC converter is 75µVRMS, significantly lower than other converters which use a PFM light load mode that can interfere with sensitive RF circuitry.
