The process of sizing the ripple injection resistor and

capacitors is:

Step 1.

Select Cff to feed all output ripples into the

feedback pin and make sure the large time constant

assumption is satisfied. Typical choice of Cff is 1nF to

100nF if R1 and R2 are in kΩ range.

Step 2.

Select Rinj according to the expected feedback

voltage ripple using Equation 23.

Select Cinj as 100nF, which could be considered

as short for a wide range of the frequencies.

Setting Output Voltage

The MIC26601 requires two resistors to set the output

voltage as shown in Figure 6.

The output voltage is determined by Equation 23:

Eq. 23

where VFB = 0.8V. A typical value of R1 can be between

3kΩ and 10kΩ. If R1 is too large, it may allow noise to be

introduced into the voltage feedback loop. If R1 is too

small, it will decrease the efficiency of the power supply,

especially at light loads. Once R1 is selected, R2 can be

calculated using:

Figure 6. Voltage-Divider Configuration

In addition to the external ripple injection added at the

FB pin, internal ripple injection is added at the inverting

input of the comparator inside the MIC26601, as shown

in Figure 7. The inverting input voltage VINJ is clamped to

1.2V. As VOUT is increased, the swing of VINJ will be

clamped. The clamped VINJ reduces the line regulation

because it is reflected as a DC error on the FB terminal.

Therefore, the maximum output voltage of the MIC26601

should be limited to 5.5V to avoid this problem.

Thermal Measurements

Measuring the IC’s case temperature is recommended to

insure it is within its operating limits. Although this might

seem like a very elementary task, it is easy to get

erroneous results. The most common mistake is to use

the standard thermal couple that comes with a thermal

meter. This thermal couple wire gauge is large, typically

22 gauge, and behaves like a heatsink, resulting in a

lower case measurement.
