MIC21LV33
36V Dual Phase, Advanced COT Buck Controller with
HyperLight Load® and Phase Shedding
Features
General Description
• Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 36V
The MIC21LV33 is a constant on-time, dual phase,
synchronous buck controller featuring a unique adaptive
on-time control architecture with HyperLight Load® and
phase shedding features enabled. The MIC21LV33
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 FSB pin. The device
operates with programmable 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 MIC21LV33 has a remote sense amplifier for
accurate output voltage control.
