MIC26901 28V, 9A Hyper Speed Control Synchronous DC/DC Buck Regulator SuperSwitcher II General Description Features Hyper Speed Control architecture enables The Micrel MIC26901 is a constant-frequency, synchronous buck regulator featuring a unique adaptive on-time control - High Delta V operation (V = 28V and V = 0.8V) IN OUT architecture. The MIC26901 operates over an input supply - Small output capacitance range of 4.5V to 28V and provides a regulated output of up to 4.5V to 28V voltage input 9A of output current. The output voltage is adjustable down to 9A output current capability, up to 95% efficiency 0.8V with a guaranteed accuracy of 1%, and the device Adjustable output from 0.8V to 5.5V operates at a switching frequency of 600kHz. 1% feedback accuracy Micrels Hyper Speed Control architecture allows for ultra- Any Capacitor stable -zero-to-high ESR fast transient response while reducing the output capacitance and also makes (High V )/(Low V ) operation possible. 600kHz switching frequency IN OUT This adaptive t ripple control architecture combines the ON No external compensation advantages of fixed-frequency operation and fast transient Power Good (PG) output response in a single device. Foldback current-limit and hiccup mode short-circuit The MIC26901 offers a full suite of protection features to protection ensure protection of the IC during fault conditions. These Supports safe startup into a pre-biased load include undervoltage lockout to ensure proper operation 40 C to +125 C junction temperature range under power-sag conditions, internal soft-start to reduce 28-pin 5mm 6mm MLF package inrush current, foldback current limit, hiccup mode short- circuit protection and thermal shutdown. An open-drain Power Good (PG) pin is provided. Applications All support documentation can be found on Micrels web Distributed power systems site at: www.micrel.com.

When V < +5.5V, PVDD should be tied to PVIN pins. A 2.2F IN IN ceramic capacitor from the PVDD pin to PGND (pin 2) must be place next to the IC. 3 NC No Connect. Switch Node (Output): Internal connection for the high-side MOSFET source and low-side MOSFET 4, 9, 10, 11, SW drain. Due to the high speed switching on this pin, the SW pin should be routed away from sensitive 12 nodes. Power Ground. PGND is the ground path for the MIC26903 buck converter power stage. The PGND pins connect to the low-side N-Channel internal MOSFET gate drive supply ground, the 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, PGND sources of the MOSFETs, the negative terminals of input capacitors, and the negative terminals of 21 output capacitors. The loop for the power ground should be as small as possible and separate from the Signal ground (SGND) loop. High-Side N-internal MOSFET Drain Connection (Input): The PV operating voltage range is from IN 13,14,15, PVIN 4.5V to 28V. Input capacitors between the PVIN pins and the power ground (PGND) are required 16,17,18,19 and keep the connection short. Boost (Output): Bootstrapped voltage to the high-side N-channel MOSFET driver. A Schottky diode is connected between the PVDD pin and the BST pin. A boost capacitor of 0.1F is connected 20 BST between the BST pin and the SW pin. Adding a small resistor at the BST pin can slow down the turn- on time of high-side N-Channel MOSFETs. 2 July 2011 M9999-071311-A
