USER’S GUIDE Chapter 2. Installation and Operation SYSTEM AND CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS The MIC2128 Evaluation Board requires only a single power supply with at least 10A current capability. The MIC2128 has internal V LDO so no external linear regulator is required to power the internal biasing of the IC. In the applications with V <...
EQUATION 1 --------- - The MIC2128 output is optimized for 5V output. All other voltages other than 5V can be set by modifying R11 value according to: EQUATION 2-2: EQUATION 2 R10 V -------------------------------- - –...

30% margin to ICL in the above 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 R DS(ON) 2016 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002533A-page 15...
20Ω to 50Ω. 2.3.5 Setting the Switching Frequency The MIC2128 Evaluation Board is an adjustable-frequency, synchronous buck controller featuring a unique adaptive on-time control architecture. The switching frequency can be adjusted between 270 kHz and 800 kHz by changing the resistor divider network consisting of R2 and R3.
The value of the capacitor can be calculated using the following equation: EQUATION 2-5: EQUATION 5 -------------------- where: Capacitor from SS pin to AGND µA Internal soft-start current (1.3 typical) Output soft-start time Reference voltage (0.6V) 2016 Microchip Technology Inc.

Auxiliary Bootstrap LDO (EXTVDD) The MIC2128 Evaluation Board features an auxiliary bootstrap LDO which improves the system efficiency by supplying the MIC2128 internal circuit bias power from the converter output voltage. This LDO is enabled when the voltage on the EXTVDD pin is above 4.6V (typical) and at the same time, the main LDO which operates from V...
