General Description

The

Micrel

MIC2164/-2/-3/C

are

constant-frequency,

synchronous buck controllers featuring adaptive on-time

control. The MIC2164/-2/-3/C are the first products in the new

Hyper Speed Control™ family of buck controllers introduced

by Micrel.

The MIC2164/-2/-3/C controllers operate over an input supply

range of 3V to 28V, and are independent of the IC supply

voltage. The devices are capable of supplying 25A output

current. While the MIC2164 operates at 300kHz, the

MIC2164-2 operates at 600kHz, and the MIC2164-3 operates

at 1MHz.

A unique Hyper Speed Control™ architecture allows for ultra-

fast transient response while reducing the output capacitance

MIC2164/-2/-3/C controllers utilizes an architecture which is

ensure proper operation under power-sag conditions to

prevent the external power MOSFET from overheating. A soft

start feature is provided to reduce the inrush current.

Foldback current limit and “hiccup” mode short-circuit

protection ensure FET and load protection.

The MIC2164/-2/-3/C controllers are available in a 10-pin

MSOP (MAX1954A-compatible) package with a junction

operating range from –40°C to +125°C.
