MIC261201
28V, 12A Hyper Speed Control™
Synchronous DC/DC Buck Regulator
SuperSwitcher II™
General Description
Features
•
Hyper Speed Control™ architecture enables
- High Delta V operation (VIN = 28V and VOUT = 0.8V)
- Small output capacitance
The Micrel MIC261201 is a constant-frequency, synchronous
buck regulator featuring a unique adaptive on-time control
architecture. The MIC261201 operates over an input supply
range of 4.5V to 28V 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.

4.5V to 28V voltage input
12A output current capability, up to 95% efficiency
Adjustable output from 0.8V to 5.5V
±1% feedback accuracy
Any Capacitor® Stable – zero-to-high ESR
600kHz switching frequency
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
28-pin 5mm × 6mm MLF® package
The MIC261201 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.
