MIC28511 Evaluation Board
60V/3A Synchronous Buck Regulator
General Description
Requirements
Micrel’s MIC28511 is a synchronous step-down regulator
featuring unique adaptive on-time control architecture with
integrated power MOSFETs. The MIC28511 operates over
an input supply range of 4.6V to 60V, and can be used to
supply up to 3A of output current. The output voltage is
adjustable down to 0.8V with a guaranteed accuracy of
±1% from 0°C to 85°C. The device operates with a
programmable switching frequency from 200kHz to
680kHz (nominal).
The MIC28511 evaluation board requires only a single
power supply with at least 5A current capability. For
applications where VIN is less than +5.5V the internal LDO
can be bypassed by tying VDD to VIN.
®
The MIC28511-1 uses the HyperLight Load architecture
to operate in pulse-skipping mode at light load while
functioning in fixed-frequency CCM mode from medium
load to heavy load. The MIC28511-2 utilizes Hyper Speed
TM
Control architecture, operating in fixed-frequency CCM
mode under all load conditions.
Datasheets and support documentation are available on
Micrel’s web site at: www.micrel.com.
Precautions
The MIC28511 evaluation board does not have reverse
polarity protection. Applying a negative voltage to the VIN
and GND terminals can damage the device. The maximum
VIN of the board is rated at 60V; exceeding 60V can
damage the device.

MIC28511 Evaluation Board
Where:
Getting Started
VREF = 0.8V, and R1 is 10.0kΩ.
1. Connect VIN Supply
Connect a supply to the VIN and GND terminals,
paying careful attention to the polarity and the supply
range (4.6V < VIN < 60V). Monitor IIN with a current
meter and monitor input voltage at VIN and GND
terminals with a voltmeter. Do not apply power until
Step 4.
With jumpers J11, J8, and J7 removed, the output
regulates at the 0.8V reference voltage. All other voltages
not listed can be set by modifying the R9 with Jumper J7
installed according to Equation 2:
R9 =
2. Connect Load and Monitor Input
Connect a load to the VOUT and GND terminals. The
load can be either a passive or an active electronic
load. A current meter can be placed between the
VOUT terminal and load to monitor the output current.
Ensure the output voltage is monitored at the VOUT
terminal.
R1× VREF
VOUT - VREF
Eq. 2
Jumper J12 shorts out the feedback and forces the
converter to operate open loop and approach 100% duty
cycle.
SW Node
Use test point J1 (VSW) for monitoring the power MOSFET
switching waveform.
3. Enable Input
The EN terminal has an on board 100kΩ pull-up
resistor (R16) to VIN, which allows the output to be
turned on when PVDD exceeds its UVLO threshold.
An EN (J16) connector is provided on the evaluation
board for ease-of-access to the enable feature.
Applying an external logic signal on the EN terminal to
pull it low or using a jumper to short the EN terminal to
the GND terminal will disable the MIC28511 evaluation
board.
Current Limit
The MIC28511 uses the RDS(ON) and external resistor
connected from ILIM to the SW node to decide the current
limit (see Figure 1).
4. Apply Power
Apply VIN and verify that the output voltage regulates
to the set voltage.
Evaluation Board Description
The basic parameters of the evaluation board are:
• Input range: 4.6V to 60V
• Output range: 0.8V to 0.85V × VIN at 3A.
(For more detailed information, refer to Typical
Characteristics section. Note that 0.85V is the maximum
duty cycle of the MIC28511 controller)
Figure 1. MIC28511 Current Limiting Circuit
In each switching cycle of the MIC28511 converter, the
inductor current is sensed by monitoring the low-side
MOSFET in the OFF period. The sensed voltage V(ILIM) is
compared with the power ground (PGND) after a blanking
time of 150ns. In this way, the drop voltage over the
resistor R22 (VCL) is compared with the drop over the
bottom FET generating the short current limit. The small
capacitor (C18) connected from ILIM pin to PGND filters
the switching node ringing during the off time which allows
a better short-limit measurement. The time constant
created by R22 and C18 should be much less than the
minimum off time.
• 300kHz switching frequency
(Adjustable 200kHz to 680kHz)
Feedback Resistors
With Jumper J11 in place, the output voltage is set to 5.0V
as determined by the feedback dividers R1 and R11.
Jumper J8 sets the output voltage to 3.3V.
With jumper J7 in place the output is set by modifying R9,
as illustrated in Equation 1:
R1 

VOUT = VREF ×  1 +

R9 

April 9, 2015
The VCL drop allows programming of short limit through the
value of the resistor (R22). If the absolute value of the
voltage drop on the bottom FET is greater than VCL, V(ILIM)
is lower than PGND and a short-circuit event is triggered.
Eq. 1

Revision 1.0
Micrel, Inc.
MIC28511 Evaluation Board
A “hiccup” soft-start cycle is generated, reducing the stress
on the power switching FETs while protecting the load and
supply during severe short conditions.
The MIC28511 evaluation board was designed with a
6.8µH inductor for operation at 300kHz at 5V output. The
typical value of RWINDING(DCR) of this particular inductor is
39mΩ.
The short circuit current limit can be programmed by using
Equation 3:
R 22 =
(ICLIM - ΔIL (PP) × 0.5) × R DS(ON) + VCL
Setting the Switching Frequency
The MIC28511 switching frequency can be adjusted by
changing the value of resistor R17. The top resistor (R19)
is set at 100kΩ and is connected between VIN and FREQ.
R17 is connected from the FREQ input to PGND and sets
the switching frequency according to Equation 4.
Eq. 3
ICL
Where:
ICLIM = Desired current limit
RDS(ON) = On-resistance of low-side power MOSFET,
28mΩ typically
VCL = Current-limit threshold (typical absolute value is
14mV, per the Electrical Characteristics section in the
MIC28511 datasheet)
ICL = Current-limit source current (typical value is 70µA,
per the Electrical Characteristics section in the MIC28511
datasheet).
Figure 2. Switching Frequency Adjustment
ΔIL(PP) = Inductor current peak-to-peak
fSW _ ADJ = fO ×
The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is:
∆IL(PP) =
VOUT × (VIN(MAX) - VOUT )
VIN(MAX) × fsw × L
R17
R19 + R17
Eq. 4
Where:
Eq. 4
fO = Switching frequency when R17 is open, per the
Electrical Characteristics section in the MIC28511
datasheet.
In case of hard short, the short current-limit threshold (VCL)
is reduced by half to the short-circuit threshold. This allows
an indefinite hard short on the output without any
destructive effect. It is critical to make sure that the
inductor current used to charge the output capacitance
during soft start is below the foldback short-circuit level;
otherwise the supply may go into hiccup mode and latch
up at start up. This should be verified over the operating
temperature range as well.
For a more precise setting, it is recommended to use the
Figure 3:
The MOSFET RDS(ON) varies 30% to 40% with temperature.
Therefore, it is recommended to add a 50% margin to ICL
in Equation 4 to avoid false current limiting due to
increased MOSFET junction temperature rise. Table 1
shows typical output current limit value for a given R22.
