MIC26601YJL EV: 0.9 ~ 5V @ 6A, 5.5 ~ 28V in

Summary

The MIC26601 DC-DC regulator operates over an input supply range of 4.5 V to 28 V and provides a regulated output at up to 6 A of output current. The output voltage is adjustable down to 0.8 V with a typical accuracy of ±1% and the device operates at a switching frequency of 600 kHz. The switching frequency remains fairly constant with changes in input voltage and output load.

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. The MIC26601 utilizes an adaptive TON ripple control architecture. An undervoltage lockout feature is provided to ensure proper operation under power-sag conditions.

An internal soft-start feature is provided to reduce the inrush current. Fold-back current limit and “hiccup” mode short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown ensures protection of the IC during fault conditions.

This evaluation board is for 6A applications.
