MIC261203
28V, 12A Hyper Light Load™
Synchronous DC/DC Buck Regulator
SuperSwitcher IIG™
General Description
Features
The Micrel MIC261203 is a constant-frequency,
synchronous DC/DC buck regulator featuring adaptive on-
time control architecture. The MIC261203 operates over a
supply range of 4.5V to 28V. It has an internal linear
regulator which provides a regulated 5V to power the
internal control circuitry. MIC261203 operates at a
constant 600kHz switching frequency in continuous-
conduction mode and can be used to provide up to 12A 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 MIC261203 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
MIC261203 includes a Power Good (PG) output to allow
simple sequencing.
