GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Micrel MIC2165 operates at a constant 600kHz switching frequency and can be used to drive up to 25A of output current. The output voltage is adjustable from 0.8V to 5.5V. A unique Hyper Speed Control™ architecture enables ultra-fast transient response while reducing the output capacitance and also makes High VIN/Low VOUT operation possible. A UVLO feature is provided to ensure proper operation under power-sag conditions to prevent the external power MOSFET from over heating. Also, a soft start feature is provided to reduce the inrush current. Short current sensing on the bottom MOSFET with hiccup mode current limiting ensures protection in case of an output short circuit. Further, the MIC2165 includes an EN pin to shut down the converter and a Power Good (PGOOD) pin to allow simple sequencing. The MIC2165 is available in a 10-pin MSOP ePad package with a junction operating temperature ranging from –40°C to +125°C. All support documentation can be found on Micrel...
