General Description
The MIC2169 is a high-efficiency, simple to use 500kHz PWM synchronous buck control IC housed in a small MSOP-10 package. The MIC2169 allows compact DC/DC solutions with a minimal external component count and cost.

FEATUREs
• 3V to 14.5V input voltage range
• Adjustable output voltage down to 0.8V
• Up to 95% efficiency
• 500kHz PWM operation
• Adjustable current limit senses high-side N-Channel MOSFET current
• No external current-sense resistor
• Adaptive gate drive increases efficiency
• Fast transient response
    – Externally compensated
• Overvoltage protection protects the load in fault conditions
• Dual mode current limit speeds up recovery time
• Hiccup mode short-circuit protection
• Small size MSOP 10-lead package
