General Description
The MIC2125 and MIC2126 are constant-frequency
synchronous buck controllers featuring a unique
adaptive ON-time control architecture. The MIC2125/6
operate over an input voltage range from 4.5V to 28V
and can be used to supply load current up to 25A. The
output voltage is adjustable down to 0.6V with a
guaranteed accuracy of ±1%. The device operates with
programmable switching frequency from 200 kHz to
750 kHz.

HyperLight Load
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.
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.

This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those indicated
in the operational sections of this specification is not intended. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.

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.
