MIC21LV32
36VDualPhase,AdvancedCOTBuckController
Stackable for Multiphase Operation
Features
General Description
• Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 36V
The MIC21LV32 is a constant on-time, dual phase
synchronous buck controller featuring a unique adaptive
on-time control architecture with stackable feature up to
eight phases. The MIC21LV32 operates over an input
supply range from 4.5V to 36V and can be used to
supply up to 50A of output current. The output voltage is
adjustable down to 0.6V with an ensured accuracy of
±1% at the FBS pin. The device operates with program-
mable switching frequency from 100 kHz to 1 MHz per
phase.
The Hyper Speed Control® architecture supports ultra-
fast transient response under medium to heavy loads.
The soft start is also programmable externally with a
capacitor, thus enabling safe start-ups into heavy loads.
The MIC21LV32 has a remote sense amplifier for
accurate output voltage control.
