MIC26601
28V, 6A Hyper Speed Control™
Synchronous DC/DC Buck Regulator
SuperSwitcher II™
General Description
The Micrel MIC26601 is a constant-frequency, synchronous
buck regulator featuring a unique adaptive on-time control
architecture. The MIC26601 operates over an input supply
range of 4.5V to 28V 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.
Micrel’s Hyper Speed Control™ architecture allows for ultra-
fast transient response while reducing the output capacitance
and also makes (High V
IN
)/(Low V
OUT
) operation possible.
This adaptive t
ON
ripple control architecture combines the
advantages of fixed-frequency operation and fast transient
response in a single device.
The MIC26601 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.

Pin Function
5V Internal Linear Regulator (Output): PVDD supply is the power MOSFET gate drive supply voltage
and created by internal LDO from V
IN
. When V
IN
<
+5.5V, PVDD should be tied to PVIN pins. A 2.2µF
ceramic capacitor from the PVDD pin to PGND (Pin 2)
must be place next to the IC.
No Connect.
Switch Node (Output): Internal connection for the high-side MOSFET source and low-side MOSFET
drain. Due to the high-speed switching on this pin, the SW pin should be routed away from sensitive
nodes.
Power Ground. PGND is the ground path for the MIC26601 buck converter power stage. The PGND
pins connect to the low-side N-Channel internal MOSFET gate drive supply ground, the sources of
the 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.
High-Side N-internal MOSFET Drain Connection (Input): The PV
IN
operating voltage range is from
4.5V to 28V. Input capacitors between the PVIN pins and the Power Ground (PGND) are required and
keep the connection short.
Boost (Output): Bootstrapped voltage to the high-side N-channel MOSFET driver. A Schottky diode is
connected between the PVDD pin and the BST pin. A boost capacitor of 0.1μF is connected between
the BST pin and the SW pin. Adding a small resistor at the BST pin can slow down the turn-on time of
high-side N-Channel MOSFETs.

CS
Pin Function
Current Sense (Input): The CS pin senses current by monitoring the voltage across the low-side
MOSFET during the OFF-time. The current sensing is necessary for short circuit protection. In order
to sense the current accurately, connect the low-side MOSFET drain to SW using a Kelvin
connection. The CS pin is also the high-side MOSFET’s output driver return.
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 (see
PCB Layout Guidelines
for details).
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.
Power Good (Output): Open Drain Output. The PG pin is externally tied with a resistor to VDD. A high
output is asserted when V
OUT
>
92% of nominal.
Enable (Input): A logic level control of the output. The EN pin is CMOS-compatible. Logic high =
enable, logic low = shutdown. In the off state, supply current of the device is greatly reduced (typically
5µA). The EN pin should not be left open.
Power Supply Voltage (Input): Requires bypass capacitor to SGND.
5V Internal Linear Regulator (Output): VDD supply is the power MOSFET gate drive supply voltage
and the supply bus for the IC. VDD is created by internal LDO from V
IN
. When V
IN
<
+5.5V, VDD
should be tied to PVIN pins. A 1.0µF ceramic capacitor from the VDD pin to PGND pins must be place
next to the IC.
