MIC24051
12V, 6A High-Efficiency Buck Regulator
SuperSwitcher II
General Description
Features
The Micrel MIC24051 is a constant-frequency, synchronous
buck regulator featuring a unique adaptive on-time control
architecture. The MIC24051 operates over an input supply
range of 4.5V to 19V and provides a regulated output of up to
6A of output current. The output voltage is adjustable down to
0.8V with a guaranteed accuracy of ±1%, and the device
operates at a switching frequency of 600kHz.
•
Hyper Speed Control architecture enables
- High delta V operation (VIN = 19V and VOUT = 0.8V)
- Small output capacitance

4.5V to 19V voltage input
6A output current capability, up to 95% efficiency
Adjustable output from 0.8V to 5.5V
±1% feedback accuracy
Micrel’s Hyper Speed Control architecture allows for ultra-
fast transient response while reducing the output capacitance
and also makes (High VIN)/(Low VOUT) operation possible.
This adaptive tON ripple control architecture combines the
advantages of fixed-frequency operation and fast transient
response in a single device.
Any Capacitor stable - zero-to-high ESR
600kHz switching frequency
No external compensation
Power Good (PG) output
Foldback current-limit and “hiccup mode” short-circuit
protection
Supports safe start-up into a pre-biased load
–40°C to +125°C junction temperature range
Available in 28-pin 5mm × 6mm QFN package
The MIC24051 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, internal soft-start to reduce
inrush current, foldback current limit, “hiccup mode” short-
circuit protection and thermal shutdown. An open-drain
Power Good (PG) pin is provided.
