General Description
Micrel’s MIC2194 is a high efficiency PWM buck control IC housed in the SO-8 package. Its 2.9V to 14V input voltage range allows it to efficiently step down voltages in 3.3V, 5V, and 12V systems as well as 1- or 2-cell Li Ion battery powered applications. The flexible architecture of the MIC2194 allows for it to be configured as a buck or a buck-boost converter.
