Product details
Overview
MIC28511-1YFL-TR from Microchip Technology is a synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with integrated high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs, delivering up to 3A output current from 4.6V–60V input. It features HyperLight Load® architecture, 0.8V ±1% reference voltage, and fixed 5 ms soft-start - enabling high-efficiency industrial power supplies and base station regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MIC28511-1YFL-TR datasheet, MIC28511-1YFL-TR pinout, MIC28511-1YFL-TR application, or MIC28511-1YFL-TR equivalent, key selection considerations include its wide VIN range, programmable switching frequency (200–680 kHz), internal 5V LDO, PGOOD output, and thermal shutdown with 160°C trip point.
Technical Context
The MIC28511-1YFL-TR uses adaptive on-time control to maintain constant switching frequency in CCM while reducing frequency in DCM for light-load efficiency. Its zero-crossing comparator enables discontinuous conduction mode (MIC28511-1 variant only), and it senses overcurrent via low-side RDS(ON) with foldback hiccup protection.
Internal compensation eliminates external loop components; the 0.8V feedback reference is trimmed across –40°C to +125°C (±2%), and the 5V VDD regulator supports single-supply operation down to 4.6V input. The FQFN-24 package integrates thermal pad (ePad) for enhanced heat dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.6V to 60V - supports wide industrial and automotive supply rails without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous - sufficient for point-of-load regulation in distributed power systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8V ±1% (0°C to +85°C) - enables precise output setting down to 0.8V with minimal resistor tolerance impact. |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz to 680 kHz, programmable via FREQ pin - allows optimization of size vs. EMI vs. efficiency. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 15°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed environments. |
| Soft-Start Time | Fixed 5 ms - limits inrush current during startup, preventing input rail sag and output overshoot. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.4 mA typical (MIC28511-1) - enables low-power standby operation in always-on systems. |
| Package | 24-pin 3 mm × 4 mm FQFN with exposed thermal pad - provides low θJA = 30°C/W for compact high-power density layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin 3 mm × 4 mm thermally enhanced FQFN (FL) with exposed PGND ePad (pins 25, 26, 27).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DL (Pin 1) | Low-side gate driver output | Internally connected to low-side MOSFET gate; must remain unconnected externally. |
| PGND (Pins 2, 10, 11, 22, 23, 26) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for low-side MOSFET source and input capacitor negative terminal; ties to ePad for thermal conduction. |
| DH (Pin 3) | High-side gate driver output | Internally connected to high-side MOSFET gate; must remain unconnected externally. |
| PVIN (Pins 4, 7, 8, 9, 25) | Main power input | Supplies high-side and low-side power switches; all pins must be shorted and bypassed locally with ceramic capacitors. |
| LX (Pin 5) | Bootstrap return / switch node monitor | Return path for BST capacitor; tied to SW pins; used for zero-current detection in DCM. |
| BST (Pin 6) | Bootstrap supply | Connects via 0.1 µF capacitor to LX to generate floating gate drive for high-side MOSFET. |
| SW (Pins 12, 21, 27) | Switch node output | Internal power switch outputs; tied together and connected to inductor; includes ePad for thermal relief. |
| AGND (Pin 13) | Analog ground reference | Separate ground return for FB, VDD, and control circuitry - must be isolated from PGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| FB (Pin 14) | Voltage feedback input | Senses output via resistive divider; regulates output by maintaining 0.8V at this pin. |
| PGOOD (Pin 15) | Power-good open-drain output | Asserts high when FB ≥ 90% of 0.8V; requires external pull-up; delays 100 µs after valid regulation. |
| EN (Pin 16) | Enable input | Active-high logic input with 1.8V threshold and 200 mV hysteresis - enables precise UVLO functionality. |
| VIN (Pin 17) | Input supply for internal LDO | Primary input for 5V VDD regulator; requires local 1 µF AGND decoupling capacitor. |
| ILIM (Pin 18) | Current-limit programming | Connects to SW node via resistor to set peak current limit based on low-side RDS(ON) sensing. |
| VDD (Pin 19) | Internal 5V regulator output | Supplies internal circuitry; regulated to 4.8–5.4V at 10 mA; tie to VIN if input <5.5V. |
| PVDD (Pin 20) | Low-side driver supply | Can be tied to VDD; requires 1 µF PGND decoupling for stable gate drive. |
| FREQ (Pin 24) | Switching frequency adjust | Resistor divider from VIN sets frequency; direct connection to VIN yields 680 kHz. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC28511-1YFL-TR?
The MIC28511-1YFL-TR has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +65V on PVIN/VIN pins, with guaranteed operational range from 4.6V to 60V. Exceeding 60V may trigger undervoltage lockout or cause reliability degradation; sustained operation above 60V is not recommended per DS20005520B specifications.
Does the MIC28511-1YFL-TR support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the MIC28511-1YFL-TR supports fully adjustable output voltage down to 0.8V using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. The internal 0.8V reference is accurate to ±1% over 0°C to +85°C, enabling precise regulation for custom voltage rails such as 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V.
How does the MIC28511-1YFL-TR implement short-circuit protection?
The MIC28511-1YFL-TR uses low-side MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing with foldback "hiccup" mode. When current exceeds the programmed limit (set via ILIM-to-SW resistor), it enters current-limit mode; during hard shorts, the threshold folds down to prevent thermal runaway and automatically recovers after a delay - no latch-off or manual reset required.
Is the MIC28511-1YFL-TR pin-compatible with other variants in the MIC28511 family?
No - MIC28511-1YFL-TR (HyperLight Load®) and MIC28511-2YFL-TR (HyperSpeed Control®) share identical pinout and package but differ in internal control architecture and light-load behavior. They are not functionally interchangeable without verifying transient response and efficiency requirements in the target application.
What thermal performance can be expected from the MIC28511-1YFL-TR in a standard 2-layer PCB layout?
In a standard 2-layer board with 1 oz copper and minimum thermal vias to inner ground plane, the MIC28511-1YFL-TR achieves θJA ≈ 30°C/W. At 3A output with 12V input, junction temperature rise is ~45°C above ambient - well within the –40°C to +125°C operating range, assuming ambient ≤80°C.
