MIC26950
12A Hyper Speed Control

Synchronous DC-DC Buck Regulator

General Description
The Micrel MIC26950 is a constant-frequency, synchronous
buck regulator featuring a unique digitally modified adaptive
ON-time control architecture. The MIC26950 operates over
an input supply range of 4.5V to 26V and provides a
regulated output at up to 12A of output current. The output
voltage is adjustable down to 0.8V with a typical accuracy of
±1%, and the device operates at a switching frequency of
300kHz.
Micrel’s Hyper Speed Control
TM
architecture allows for ultra-
fast transient response while reducing the output capacitance
and also makes (High V
IN
)/(Low V
OUT
) operation possible.
This digitally modified adaptive t
ON
ripple control architecture
combines the advantages of fixed-frequency operation and
fast transient response in a single device.
The MIC26950 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, fold-back current limit, “hiccup” mode short-
circuit protection and thermal shutdown.

Pin Name
Pin Function
High-Side N-internal MOSFET Drain Connection (Input): The PV
IN
operating voltage range is from
4.5V to 26V. Input capacitors between PV
IN
and the power ground (PGND) are required.
Enable (Input): A logic level control of the output. The EN pin is CMOS-compatible. Logic high or
floating = enable, logic low = shutdown. In the off state, supply current of the device is greatly reduced
(typically 0.8mA).
Feedback (Input): Input to the transconductance amplifier of the control loop. The FB pin is regulated
to 0.8V. A resistor divider connecting the feedback to the output is used to adjust the desired output
voltage.
Signal ground. SGND must be connected directly to the ground planes. Do not route the SGND pin to
the PGND Pad on the top layer.
V
DD
Bias (Input): Power to the internal reference and control sections of the MIC26950. The V
DD
operating voltage range is from 4.5V to 5.5V. A 2.2µF ceramic capacitor from the VDD pin-to-PGND is
recommended for clean operation.
Power Ground. PGND is the ground path for the MIC26950 buck converter power stage. The PGND
pin connects to the sources of low-side N-Channel internal MOSFETs, the negative terminals of input
capacitors, and the negative terminals of output capacitors. The loop for the power ground should be
as small as possible and separate from the Signal ground (SGND) loop.
Current Sense (Input): High current output driver return. The CS pin connects directly to the switch
node. Due to the high speed switching on this pin, the CS pin should be routed away from sensitive
nodes. CS pin also senses the current by monitoring the voltage across the low-side internal
MOSFET during OFF-time.

Pin Function
Boost (Output): Bootstrapped voltage to the high-side N-channel internal MOSFET driver. A Schottky
diode is connected between the VDD pin and the BST pin. A boost capacitor of 0.1μF is connected
between the BST pin and the SW pin.
Switch Node (Output): Internal connection for the high-side MOSFET source and low-side MOSFET
drain.
Power Supply Voltage (Input): Requires bypass capacitor to SGND.
No Connect.
