MIC24055
12V, 12A High-Efficiency Buck Regulator
SuperSwitcher II
General Description
Features
•
Hyper Speed Control architecture enables
- High delta V operation (VIN = 19V and VOUT = 0.8V)
- Small output capacitance
Input voltage range: 4.5V to 19V
Output current up to 12A
The Micrel MIC24055 is
a
constant-frequency,
synchronous buck regulator featuring a unique adaptive
on-time control architecture. The MIC24055 operates over
an input supply range of 4.5V to 19V and provides a
regulated output of up to 12A 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.

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.

No external compensation
Power good (PG) output
Foldback current-limit and “hiccup mode” short-circuit
protection
Supports safe startup into a pre-biased load
–40°C to +125°C junction temperature range
Available in 28-pin 5mm × 6mm QFN package
The MIC24055 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.
