General Description
The  MIC2125  and  MIC2126  are  constant-frequency
synchronous  buck  controllers  featuring  a  unique
adaptive ON-time control architecture. The MIC2125/6
operate over an input voltage range from 4.5V to 28V
and can be used to supply load current up to 25A. The
output  voltage  is  adjustable  down  to  0.6V  with  a
guaranteed accuracy of ±1%. The device operates with
programmable  switching  frequency  from  200  kHz  to
750 kHz. 
HyperLight Load® architecture provides the same high
efficiency  and  ultra-fast  transient  response  as  the
Hyper  Speed  Control®  architecture  under  medium  to
heavy  loads.  It  also  maintains  high  efficiency  under
light  load  conditions  by  transitioning  to  variable
frequency, discontinuous conduction mode operation.
The MIC2125/6 offer a full suite of features to ensure
protection  of  the  IC  during  fault  conditions.  These
include  undervoltage  lockout  to  ensure  proper
operation  under  power-sag  conditions,  internal
soft-start  to  reduce  inrush  current,  “hiccup”  mode
short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.
