Applications
The MIC2125/6 offer a full suite of 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, “hiccup” mode
short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.

HyperLight Load® architecture provides the same high
efficiency and ultra-fast transient response as the
Hyper Speed Control® architecture under medium to
heavy loads. It also maintains high efficiency under
light load conditions by transitioning to variable
frequency, discontinuous conduction mode operation.

Note 1:
The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable
junction temperature and the thermal resistance from junction to air (i.e., TA, TJ, JA). Exceeding the
maximum allowable power dissipation will cause the device operating junction temperature to exceed the
maximum +125°C rating. Sustained junction temperatures above +125°C can impact the device reliability.

Symbol
Description
1
VDD
Internal Linear regulator output. Connect a 4.7 μF ceramic capacitor from VDD to
AGND for decoupling. In the applications where VIN < +5.5V, VDD should be tied to
VIN to by-pass the linear regulator.
2
PVDD
5V supply input for the low-side N-channel MOSFET driver, which can be tied to
VDD externally. A 4.7 μF ceramic capacitor from PVDD to PGND is recommended for
decoupling.
3
ILIM
Current limit setting input. Connect a resistor from SW to ILIM to set the overcurrent
threshold for the converter.
Low-side gate driver output. The DL driving voltage swings from ground to VDD.
4
DL
5
PGND
Power ground. PGND is the return path for the low side gate driver. Connect PGND
pin to the source of low-side N-Channel external MOSFET.
6
FREQ
Switching frequency adjust input. Connect FREQ to the mid-point of an external
resistor divider from VIN to GND to program the switching frequency. Tie to VIN to
operate at 750 kHz frequency.
7
DH
High-side gate driver output. The DH driving voltage is floating on the switch node

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MIC2125 and MIC2126 are adaptive on-time
synchronous buck controllers built for high input
voltage to low output voltage applications. They are
designed to operate over a wide input voltage range
from 4.5V to 28V and their output is adjustable with an
external resistive divider. An adaptive ON-time control
scheme is employed to obtain a constant switching
frequency and to simplify the control compensation.
Overcurrent protection is implemented when sensing
low-side MOSFET’s RDS(ON). The device features
internal soft-start, enable, UVLO, and thermal
shutdown.
4.1
Theory of Operation
The MIC2125/6 Functional Block Diagram appears on
page two. The output voltage is sensed by the
MIC2125/6 feedback pin (FB), and is compared to a
0.6V reference voltage (VREF) at the low gain
transconductance error amplifier (gm). Figure 4-1
shows the MIC2125/6 control loop timing during
steady-state operation. When the feedback voltage
decreases and the amplifier output is below 0.6V, the
comparator triggers and generates an ON-time period.
The ON-time period is predetermined by the fixed tON
estimator circuitry value from Equation 4-1:
EQUATION 4-2:

D MAX = ----------------------------------- = 1 – --------------tS

Where:

1/fSW
It is not recommended to use MIC2125/6 with an
OFF-time close to tOFF(MIN) during steady-state
operation.
The adaptive ON-time control scheme results in a
constant switching frequency in the MIC2125/6. The
actual ON-time and resulting switching frequency
varies with the different rising and falling times of the
external MOSFETs. Also, the minimum tON results in a
lower switching frequency in high VIN to VOUT
applications.

At the end of the ON-time, the internal high-side driver
turns off the high-side MOSFET and the low-side driver
turns on the low-side MOSFET. The OFF-time depends
upon the feedback voltage. When the feedback voltage
decreases and the output of the gm amplifier is below
0.6V, the ON-time period is triggered and the OFF-time
period ends. If the OFF-time period determined by the
feedback voltage is less than the minimum OFF-time
tOFF(min), which is about 220 ns, the MIC2125/6 control
logic applies the tOFF(min) instead. tOFF(min) is required
to maintain enough energy in the boost capacitor
(CBST) to drive the high-side MOSFET.
The maximum duty cycle is obtained from the 220 ns
tOFF(MIN):

FIGURE 4-1:
Timing
MIC2125/6 Control Loop
Figure 4-2 shows the operation of the MIC2125/6
during load transient. The output voltage drops due to
a sudden increase in load, which results in the VFB
falling below VREF. This causes the comparator to
trigger an ON-time period. At the end of the ON-time, a
minimum OFF-time tOFF(min) is generated to charge
CBST if the feedback voltage is still below VREF. The
next ON-time is triggered immediately after the
tOFF(min) due to the low feedback voltage. This
operation results in higher switching frequency during
load transients. The switching frequency returns to the
nominal set frequency once the output stabilizes at new
load current level. The output recovery time is fast and
the output voltage deviation is small in MIC2125/6
converter due to the varying duty cycle and switching
frequency.

Unlike true current-mode control, the MIC2125/6 uses
the output voltage ripple to trigger an ON-time period.
In order to meet the stability requirements, the
MIC2125/6 feedback voltage ripple should be in phase
with the inductor current ripple and large enough to be
sensed by the gm amplifier. The recommended
feedback voltage ripple is 20 mV ~ 100 mV over the full
input voltage range. If a low-ESR output capacitor is
selected, then the feedback voltage ripple may be too
small to be sensed by the gm amplifier. Also, the output
voltage ripple and the feedback voltage ripple are not
necessarily in phase with the inductor current ripple if
the ESR of the output capacitor is very low. For these
applications, ripple injection is required to ensure
proper operation. Refer to the Ripple Injection section
under Application Information for details about the
ripple injection technique.

Timing (Discontinuous Conduction Mode)
The typical no load supply current during discontinuous
conduction mode is only about 340 μA, allowing the
MIC2125 to achieve high efficiency at light load
operation.
4.3
Soft-Start
Soft-start reduces the power supply inrush current at
startup by controlling the output voltage rise time. The
MIC2125/6 implements an internal digital soft-start by
ramping up the reference voltage VREF from 0 to 100%
in about 7 ms. Once the soft-start is completed, the
related circuitry is disabled to reduce the current
consumption.
The MIC2125 operates in discontinuous conduction
mode at light load. The MIC2125 has a zero crossing
comparator (ZC detection) that monitors the inductor
current by sensing the voltage drop across the low-side
MOSFET during its ON-time. If the VFB > 0.6V and the
inductor current goes slightly negative, the MIC2125
turns off both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs.
During this period, the efficiency is optimized by
shutting down all the non-essential circuits and the load
current is supplied by the output capacitor. The control
circuitry wakes up when the feedback voltage falls
below VREF and triggers a tON pulse. Figure 4-3 shows
the control loop timing in discontinuous conduction
mode.

4.4
Current Limit
The MIC2125/6 uses the low-side MOSFET RDS(ON) to
sense the inductor current.
Because MOSFET RDS(ON) varies from 30% to 40%
with temperature, it is recommended to add a 50%
margin to ICL in the previous equation to avoid false
current limiting due to increased MOSFET junction
temperature rise. It is also recommended to connect
the SW pin directly to the drain of the low-side
MOSFET to accurately sense the MOSFET’s RDS(ON).
4.5
Negative Current Limit
(MIC2126 Only)
The MIC2126 implements negative current limit by
sensing the SW voltage when the low-side FET is off.
If the SW node voltage exceeds 12 mV typical, the
device turns off the low-side FET until the next ON-time
event is triggered. The negative current limit value is
given by Equation 4-4.
EQUATION 4-4:
FIGURE 4-4:
Circuit
MIC2125/6 Current-Limiting
In each switching cycle of the MIC2125/6 converter, the
inductor current is sensed by monitoring the voltage
across the low-side MOSFET during the OFF period.
An internal current source of 36 µA generates a voltage
across the external resistor RCL. The ILIM pin voltage
V(ILIM) is the sum of the voltage across the low side
MOSFET and the voltage across the resistor (VCL).
The sensed voltage V(ILIM) is compared with the power
ground (PGND) after a blanking time of 150 ns.
If the absolute value of the voltage drop across the low
side MOSFET is greater than VCL, the current limit
event is triggered. Eight consecutive current limit
events triggers hiccup mode. The hiccup sequence,
including the soft-start, reduces the stress on the
switching FETs and protects the load and supply from
severe short conditions.
The current limit can be programmed by using
Equation 4-3.

MOSFET Gate Drive
The MIC2125/6 high-side drive circuit is designed to
switch an N-Channel MOSFET. Figure 4-1 shows a
bootstrap circuit, consisting of a PMOS switch and
CBST. This circuit supplies energy to the high-side drive
circuit. Capacitor CBST is charged while the low-side
MOSFET is on and the voltage on the SW pin is
approximately 0V. When the high-side MOSFET driver
is turned on, energy from CBST is used to turn the
MOSFET on. If the bias current of the high-side driver
is less than 10 mA, a 0.1 μF capacitor is sufficient to
hold the gate voltage within minimal droop, (i.e., ∆BST
= 10 mA × 3.33 μs/0.1 μF = 333 mV). A small resistor,
RG in series with CBST, can be used to slow down the
turn-on time of the high-side N-channel MOSFET.

Overvoltage Protection
The MIC2125/6 includes the OVP feature to protect the
load from overshoots due to input transients and output

is triggered, the converter turns off immediately to allow
the output voltage to discharge. The MIC2125/6 power
should be recycled to enable it again.

The high-side MOSFET switching losses increase with

5.3
Inductor Selection
Inductance value, saturation, and RMS currents are
required to select the output inductor. The input and
output voltages and the inductance value determine
the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. Larger
peak-to-peak ripple current increases the power
dissipation in the inductor and MOSFETs. Larger
output ripple current also requires more output
capacitance to smooth out the larger ripple current.
Smaller peak-to-peak ripple current requires a larger
inductance value and therefore a larger and more
expensive inductor.
A good compromise between size, loss, and cost is to
set the inductor ripple current to be equal to 40% of the
maximum output current.
The inductance value is calculated by Equation 5-7.

Maximizing efficiency requires the proper selection of
core material and minimizing the winding resistance.
The high-frequency operation of the MIC2125/6
requires the use of ferrite materials. Lower cost iron
powder cores may be used, but the increase in core
loss reduces the efficiency of the power supply. This is
especially noticeable at low output power. The winding
resistance decreases efficiency at the higher output
current levels. The winding resistance must be
minimized, although this usually comes at the expense
of a larger inductor. The power dissipated in the
inductor is equal to the sum of the core and copper
losses. At higher output loads, the core losses are
usually insignificant and can be ignored. At lower
output currents, the core losses can be significant.
Core loss information is usually available from the
magnetics vendor.

RMS current capability are two other important factors
for selecting the output capacitor. Recommended
capacitor types are ceramic, tantalum, low-ESR
aluminum electrolytic, OS-CON, and POSCAP. The
output capacitor’s ESR is usually the main cause of the

As described in the Theory of Operation subsection of
the Functional Description, the MIC2125/26 requires at
least 20 mV peak-to-peak ripple at the FB pin to ensure
that the gm amplifier and the comparator behave
properly. Also, the output voltage ripple should be in
phase with the inductor current. Therefore, the output
voltage ripple caused by the output capacitors value
should be much smaller than the ripple caused by the
output capacitor ESR. If low-ESR capacitors, such as
ceramic capacitors, are selected as the output
capacitors, a ripple injection method should be applied
to provide the enough feedback voltage ripple. Refer to
the Ripple Injection subsection for details.
The voltage rating of the capacitor should be twice the
output voltage for a tantalum and 20% greater for

Ripple Injection
The VFB ripple required for proper operation of the
MIC2125/6 gm amplifier and comparator is 20 mV to
100 mV. However, the output voltage ripple is generally
designed as 1% to 2% of the output voltage. For low
output voltages, such as a 1V, the output voltage ripple
is only 10 mV to 20 mV, and the feedback voltage ripple
is less than 20 mV. If the feedback voltage ripple is so
small that the gm amplifier and comparator cannot
sense it, then the MIC2125/6 loses control and the
output voltage is not regulated. In order to have
sufficient VFB ripple, a ripple injection method should
be applied for low output voltage ripple applications.
The applications are divided into three situations
according to the amount of the feedback voltage ripple:
• Enough ripple at the feedback voltage due to the
large ESR of the output capacitors (Figure 5-5).
The converter is stable without any ripple
injection.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
PCB layout is critical to achieve reliable, stable and
efficient performance. The following guidelines should
be followed to ensure proper operation of the
MIC2125/26 converter.
6.1
IC
• The ceramic bypass capacitors which are
connected to the VDD and PVDD pins must be
located right at the IC. Use wide traces to connect
to the VDD, PVDD and AGND, PGND pins
respectively.
• The signal ground pin (AGND) must be connected
directly to the ground planes.
• Place the IC close to the point-of-load (POL).
• Signal and power grounds should be kept
separate and connected at only one location.
6.2
Input Capacitor
• Place the input ceramic capacitors as close as
possible to the MOSFETs.
• Place several vias to the ground plane close to
the input capacitor ground terminal.
6.3
Inductor
• Keep the inductor connection to the switch node
(SW) short.
• Do not route any digital lines underneath or close
to the inductor.
• Keep the switch node (SW) away from the
feedback (FB) pin.
• The SW pin should be connected directly to the
drain of the low-side MOSFET to accurately
sense the voltage across the low-side MOSFET.
6.4
Output Capacitor
• Use a copper plane to connect the output
capacitor ground terminal to the input capacitor
ground terminal.
• The feedback trace should be separate from the
power trace and connected as close as possible
to the output capacitor. Sensing a long
high-current load trace can degrade the DC load
regulation.
6.5
MOSFETs
• MOSFET gate drive traces must be short. The
ground plane should be the connection between
the MOSFET source and PGND.
• Choose a low-side MOSFET with a high CGS/CGD
ratio and a low internal gate resistance to
minimize the effect of dv/dt inducted turn-on.
• Use a 4.5V VGS rated MOSFET. Its higher gate
threshold voltage is more immune to glitches than
a 2.5V or 3.3V rated MOSFET.

•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
