MIC45212-1/-2
26V/14A DC-to-DC Power Module
General Description
Micrel’s MIC45212 is a synchronous step-down regulator
module, featuring a unique adaptive ON-time control
architecture. The module incorporates a DC-to-DC
controller, power MOSFETs, bootstrap diode, bootstrap
capacitor, and an inductor in a single package; simplifying
the design and layout process for the end user.
This highly-integrated solution expedites system design
and improves product time-to-market. The internal
MOSFETs and inductor are optimized to achieve high
efficiency at a low output voltage. The fully-optimized
design can deliver up to 14A current under a wide input
voltage range of 4.5V to 26V, without requiring additional
cooling.
The MIC45212-1 uses Micrel’s HyperLight Load® (HLL)
while the MIC45212-2 uses Micrel’s Hyper Speed
Control™ architecture, which enables ultra-fast load
transient response, allowing for a reduction of output
capacitance. The MIC45212 offers 1% output accuracy
that can be adjusted from 0.8V to 5.5V with two external
resistors. Additional features include thermal shutdown
protection, input undervoltage lockout, adjustable current
limit, and short circuit protection. The MIC45212 allows for
safe start-up into a pre-biased output.
