General Description
The MIC2127A device is a constant-frequency
synchronous buck controller featuring a unique
adaptive on-time control architecture. The MIC2127A
device operates over an input voltage range from
4.5V-75V. The output voltage is adjustable down to
0.6V with an accuracy of ±1%. The device operates
with programmable switching frequency from 270 kHz
to 800 kHz.
The MIC2127A device features a MODE pin that allows
the user to select either Continuous Conduction mode
or HyperLight Load® (HLL) mode under light loads. An
auxiliary bootstrap LDO improves the system efficiency
by supplying the MIC2127A internal circuit bias power
and gate drivers from the output of the converter. A
logic level enable (EN) signal can be used to enable or
disable the controller. MIC2127A can start-up
monotonically into a prebiased output. The MIC2127A
device features an open drain power good signal (PG)
that signals when the output is in regulation and can be
used for simple power supply sequencing.
MIC2127A 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, “hiccup” mode
short-circuit protection, internal soft start of 5 ms to
reduce inrush current during start-up and thermal shut-
down.
The MIC2127A device is available in a 16-pin
3 mm × 3 mm VQFN package, with an operating
junction temperature range from –40°C to +125°C.
