MIC24053
12V, 9A High-Efficiency Buck Regulator
SuperSwitcher II
General Description
The Micrel MIC24053 is a constant-frequency, synchronous
buck regulator featuring a unique adaptive on-time control
architecture. The MIC24053 operates over an input supply
range of 4.5V to 19V and provides a regulated output of up to
9A 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 MIC24053 offers 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, foldback current limit, “hiccup mode” short-circuit
protection, and thermal shutdown. An open-drain Power
Good (PG) pin is provided.

Pin Description

Pin Name
PVDD
Pin Function
5V Internal Linear Regulator output. PVDD supply is the power MOSFET gate drive supply voltage
created by internal LDO from VIN. When VIN
< +5.5V,
PVDD should be tied to PVIN pins. A 2.2µF
ceramic capacitor from the PVDD pin to PGND (pin 2) must be placed next to the IC.
Power Ground. PGND is the ground path for the MIC24053 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.
No Connect.
Switch Node output. Internal connection for the high-side MOSFET source and low-side MOSFET
drain. Because of the high-speed switching on this pin, the SW pin should be routed away from
sensitive nodes.
High-Side N-internal MOSFET Drain Connection input. The PVIN operating voltage range is from
4.5V to 19V. Input capacitors between the PVIN pins and the power ground (PGND) are required;
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.

Pin Name
CS
Pin Function
Current Sense input. The CS pin senses current by monitoring the voltage across the low-side
MOSFET during the OFF-time. Current sensing is necessary for short circuit protection. 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 Recommendations
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, the device’s supply current is greatly reduced (typically 5µA).
Do not leave the EN pin floating.
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,
tie VDD to
PVIN pins. A 1µF ceramic capacitor from the VDD pin to SGND pins must be placed next to the IC.
