MIC2101/02
38V, Synchronous Buck Controllers
Featuring Adaptive On-Time Control
Hyper Speed Control¥ Family
General Description
The Micrel MIC2101/02 are constant-frequency,
synchronous buck controllers featuring a unique adaptive
ON-time control architecture. The MIC2101/02 operates
over an input supply range from 4.5V to 38V and can be
used to supply up to 15A of output current. The output
voltage is adjustable down to 0.8V with a guaranteed
accuracy of ±1%. The device operates with programmable
switching frequency from 200kHz to 600kHz.
Micrel’s Hyper Light Load™ architecture provides the same
high-efficiency and ultra-fast transient response as the Hyper
Speed Control architecture under the medium to heavy loads,
but also maintains high efficiency under light load conditions
by transitioning to variable frequency, discontinuous-mode
operation.
The MIC2101/02 offers a full suite of protection features to
ensure protection of the IC during fault conditions. These
include under-voltage lockout to ensure proper operation
under power-sag conditions, internal soft-start to reduce
inrush current, fold-back current limit, “hiccup” mode short-
circuit protection and thermal shutdown.
