MIC24054
12V, 9A High-Efficiency Buck Regulator
SuperSwitcher II
General Description
Features
The Micrel MIC24054 is a constant-frequency,
synchronous DC/DC buck regulator featuring adaptive on-
time control architecture. The MIC24054 operates over a
supply range of 4.5V to 19V. It has an internal linear
regulator which provides a regulated 5V to power the
internal control circuitry. The MIC24054 operates at a
constant 600kHz switching frequency in continuous
conduction mode and can be used to provide up to 9A of
output current. The output voltage is adjustable down to
0.8V.
Micrel’s Hyper Light Load^® architecture provides the same
high-efficiency and ultra-fast transient response as the
Hyper Speed Control architecture under medium to heavy
loads, but also maintains high efficiency under light load
conditions by transitioning to variable frequency,
discontinuous mode operation.
The MIC24054 offers a full suite of protection features to
ensure protection of the IC during fault conditions. These
include undervoltage lockout to ensure proper operation
under power-sag conditions, thermal shutdown, internal
soft-start to reduce the inrush current, foldback current
limit and “hiccup mode” short-circuit protection. The
MIC24054 includes a power good (PG) output to allow
simple sequencing.
The 9A Hyper Speed Control part, MIC24053, is also
available on Micrel’s web site.
