MIC28500
75V/4A Hyper Speed Control™
Synchronous DC-DC Buck Regulator
SuperSwitcher II™
General Description
The Micrel MIC28500 is an adjustable frequency,
synchronous buck regulator featuring a unique adaptive on-
time control architecture. The MIC28500 operates over an
input supply range of 30V to 75V and provides a regulated
output of up to 4A of output current. The output voltage is
adjustable down to 0.8V with a guaranteed accuracy of ±1%.
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 MIC28500 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.
All support documentation can be found on Micrel’s web

Pin Name
Pin Function
High-Side internal N-channel MOSFET Drain Connection (Input): The PVIN operating voltage range
is from 30V to 75V. Input capacitors between the PVIN pins and the power ground (PGND) are
required and keep the connection short. Enabling the device below 30V VIN and under maximum
loading could heat up the device beyond safe operating conditions.
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, the V
DD
supply current of the device is
reduced (typically 0.7mA). Do not pull the EN pin above the V
DD
supply. Enabling the device below
30V VIN and under maximum loading could heat up the device beyond safe operating conditions.
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, see PCB layout guidelines for details.
VDD Bias (Input): Power to the internal reference and control sections of the MIC28500. The VDD
operating voltage range is from 4.5V to 5.5V. A 2.2µF ceramic capacitor from the VDD pin to the
PGND pin must be placed next to the IC. VDD must be powered up at the same time or after PVIN to
make the soft-start function correctly.
Power Ground. PGND is the ground path for the MIC28500 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.

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.
