The MIC26901 DC-DC regulator operates over an input supply range of 4.5 V to 28 V, and provides a regulated output at up to 9 A of output current. The output voltage is adjustable to 0.8 V with a typical accuracy of ±1% and the device operates at a switching frequency of 600 kHz. The switching frequency remains fairly constant with changes in input voltage and output load.
Micrel’s Hyper Speed Control™ architecture allows for ultra-fast transient response, while reducing the output capacitance. It also makes (High VIN)/(Low VOUT) operation possible. The MIC26901 utilizes an adaptive TON ripple control architecture. An undervoltage lockout feature is provided to ensure proper operation under power-sag conditions.
An internal soft-start feature is provided to reduce the inrush current. Foldback current limit and “hiccup” mode short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown ensures protection of the IC during fault conditions.
This evaluation board is for 9 A applications.
