| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DL) | Low-side gate driver output | Internally connected to low-side MOSFET gate; must remain unconnected - no external drive or feedback required. |
| 2,10,11,22,23,26 (PGND) | Power ground return | Low-impedance source node for low-side MOSFET; all pins must be tied together and connected directly to input capacitor negative terminal. |
| 3 (DH) | High-side gate driver output | Internally connected to high-side MOSFET gate; must remain unconnected - no external drive or feedback required. |
| 4,7,8,9,25 (PVIN) | Main power input | Supplies high-side/low-side power switches; all pins must be shorted and bypassed locally with ceramic capacitors near input filter. |
| 5 (LX) | Switch node return | Reference for bootstrap capacitor (CBST); connects to SW pins and enables zero-current detection for adaptive timing control. |
| 6 (BST) | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate via 0.1 µF capacitor from LX; requires series resistor for noise filtering in high-dV/dt applications. |
| 12,21,27 (SW) | Power switch output | Internal node connecting both MOSFETs; ties directly to inductor input - forms critical high-current loop requiring minimal trace length. |
| 13 (AGND) | Analog reference ground | Separate return for FB, EN, PGOOD, and internal error amplifier; must be isolated from PGND to avoid noise coupling into regulation loop. |
| 14 (FB) | Output voltage sense | Compares divider voltage against 0.8 V reference; accuracy ±1% ensures <±12 mV error at 1.2 V output for DDR memory rails. |
| 15 (PGOOD) | Power status flag | Open-drain output asserting high when FB > 90% of 0.8 V; used for sequencing enable signals or fault latching in multi-rail systems. |
| 16 (EN) | Enable control input | Logic-high threshold 1.8 V (with 200 mV hysteresis); supports direct connection to MCU GPIO or upstream supervisor IC outputs. |
| 17 (VIN) | Main supply input | Primary input for internal LDO and control logic; accepts full 4.6–70 V range and requires local 1 µF AGND decoupling. |
| 18 (ILIM) | Current limit programming | Connects to SW node via resistor to set foldback threshold; enables accurate overcurrent protection matching load requirements. |
| 19 (VDD) | Internal 5 V regulator output | Supplies core logic; delivers 5.2 V ±0.2 V at 10 mA; must be bypassed with 1 µF capacitor - ties to VIN if VIN < 5.5 V. |
| 20 (PVDD) | Low-side driver supply | Provides gate drive energy for low-side MOSFET; can be tied to VDD externally; requires 1 µF PGND decoupling. |
| 24 (FREQ) | Switching frequency adjust | Voltage-controlled input: connect to VIN for 680 kHz, or use resistor divider for 200–680 kHz tuning - sets oscillator timing without external crystal. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC28512-2YFL-TR?
The MIC28512-2YFL-TR has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +76 V on PVIN/VIN pins, with a recommended operating range of 4.6 V to 70 V. This wide range enables direct connection to 48 V telecom systems, 24 V industrial buses, and automotive battery rails - including cold-crank and load-dump transients - without external pre-regulation stages.
Does the MIC28512-2YFL-TR require external MOSFETs?
No, the MIC28512-2YFL-TR integrates both high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs (77 mΩ and 43 mΩ typical RDS(ON)). This eliminates external FETs, gate drivers, and associated layout complexity - reducing solution size and improving reliability in space-constrained applications such as base station RF modules and PLC edge nodes.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the MIC28512-2YFL-TR?
The MIC28512-2YFL-TR switching frequency is set via the FREQ pin (pin 24): connecting it directly to VIN selects 680 kHz; applying a resistor divider from VIN to FREQ enables continuous adjustment between 200 kHz and 680 kHz. This allows designers to balance inductor size, EMI compliance, and light-load efficiency without changing the IC or layout.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on the MIC28512-2YFL-TR?
The ILIM pin (pin 18) enables precise programming of the current-limit threshold by connecting a resistor between ILIM and the SW node. This sets foldback behavior during overcurrent events - protecting downstream loads and the MIC28512-2YFL-TR itself - and supports customization for different inductor saturation currents or cable-drop compensation requirements.
Can the MIC28512-2YFL-TR operate with a pre-biased output?
Yes, the MIC28512-2YFL-TR supports start-up into a pre-biased output, as confirmed in Figures 2-31 and 2-32 of the datasheet. This capability prevents reverse current flow during hot-plug or multi-rail sequencing scenarios - ensuring safe power-up of systems where the output capacitor may retain residual voltage before input is applied.
