Product details
Overview
MIC28517T-E/PHA from Microchip Technology is a synchronous buck DC/DC regulator with Hyper Speed Control® adaptive on-time architecture, delivering up to 8A output current across 4.5V–70V input and 0.6V–32V adjustable output. It achieves ±1% feedback accuracy, supports pre-biased start-up, and operates from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature - deployed in industrial power supplies and solar energy converters.
For engineers reviewing the MIC28517T-E/PHA datasheet, MIC28517T-E/PHA pinout, MIC28517T-E/PHA application, or MIC28517T-E/PHA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 270–800 kHz programmable switching frequency, selectable HyperLight Load® (HLL) or Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM), internal bootstrap diode, 5V integrated bias regulator, and 32-pin 6 mm × 6 mm VQFN package with validated thermal resistance of 33.3°C/W.
Technical Context
The MIC28517T-E/PHA implements an adaptive on-time control architecture that dynamically adjusts off-time to maintain regulation while enabling ultra-fast transient response and high VIN/VOUT conversion ratios (e.g., 70V → 0.6V). Its dual-mode operation-selectable via MODE pin-allows HLL for light-load efficiency or CCM for stable frequency across full load range.
Protection features include hiccup-mode short-circuit response, thermal shutdown at +150°C with +15°C hysteresis, UVLO with 4.2V trip and 600 mV hysteresis, and safe start-up into pre-biased outputs. Internal compensation, Any Capacitor™ stability (0–high ESR), and programmable current limit (via ILIM resistor) eliminate external loop components and simplify design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 70V - enables direct integration into 24V/48V industrial buses and solar MPPT front-ends without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 8A continuous - supports high-power point-of-load conversion for FPGAs, ASICs, and motor controllers. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures tight output regulation under thermal stress in embedded systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 270 kHz to 800 kHz, adjustable via FREQ pin - allows EMI optimization and inductor size trade-off (e.g., 6.8 µH typical). |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive auxiliary supplies and industrial control cabinets. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 33.3°C/W (6 mm × 6 mm VQFN) - enables 8A operation with standard 2-layer PCB and minimal copper area. |
| Current Limit Accuracy | ±8% over temperature - provides repeatable overcurrent protection without calibration across life cycle. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-pin, 6 mm × 6 mm VQFN with exposed thermal pad (pin 21 PGND tied to thermal pad per layout guidelines).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ILIM (Pin 1) | Current limit programming input | Resistor-to-SW sets precise overcurrent threshold (e.g., 6.25 A typ. with 2.21 kΩ); enables scalable protection without sense resistors. |
| SW (Pins 3,12–15,17–19,22,29) | Switch node | High-current path connecting internal HS/LS MOSFETs; requires low-inductance connection to inductor and input/output capacitors. |
| PGND (Pins 2,16,17,18,19,22,29) | Power ground return | Carries peak inductor current and switch-node ripple; must be routed separately from AGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| FREQ (Pin 25) | Frequency programming input | Voltage divider from PVIN sets switching frequency (270–800 kHz); enables dynamic EMI tuning during system validation. |
| MODE (Pin 26) | Operation mode select | GND = HyperLight Load® (HLL) for >90% efficiency at <100 mA; VDD = CCM for constant-frequency operation above 500 mA. |
| FB (Pin 27) | Feedback input | Regulated to 0.6V reference; resistor divider from VOUT sets output voltage (0.6V–32V) with ±1% accuracy over full temp range. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hyper Speed Control® Architecture | Enables 70V→0.6V conversion with <100 ns minimum on-time and fast transient response (<200 µs recovery from 0→8A load step). |
| Any Capacitor™ Stability | Stable with zero-ESR ceramic or high-ESR electrolytic output capacitors - eliminates capacitor qualification effort and reduces BOM cost. |
| Internal Bootstrap Diode | Removes need for external bootstrap diode - simplifies layout, improves reliability, and reduces component count in high-density designs. |
| Auxiliary EXTVDD LDO | Bypasses internal HV LDO when external ≥4.7V supply applied - improves system efficiency by reducing VDD quiescent current by ~60% at 48V input. |
| Pre-Biased Output Start-up | Safe enable into existing VOUT voltage - prevents reverse current flow and protects downstream loads during hot-swap or redundant supply sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5143AQPWPRQ1 | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100, 60V max input, no internal bootstrap diode, requires external bootstrap circuit. | Targeted for automotive ADAS ECUs requiring functional safety (ASIL-B capable); lacks HLL mode. | Select when automotive qualification and fault reporting are mandatory; not drop-in due to missing internal diode and different pinout. |
| MPQ4333GLED-A | 40V max input, 6A output, integrated MOSFETs only (no external switch option), 500 kHz fixed frequency. | Optimized for space-constrained consumer electronics; lacks programmable frequency and pre-biased start-up. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-power applications where 70V input capability and HLL mode are unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC28517T-E/PHA?
The MIC28517T-E/PHA has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +71V on PVIN/SVIN pins, with a recommended operating range of 4.5V to 70V. This allows direct use with 48V industrial buses and unregulated solar arrays. Exceeding 70V during normal operation risks violating the device's specified electrical characteristics and may impact long-term reliability.
Does the MIC28517T-E/PHA support start-up into a pre-biased output?
Yes, the MIC28517T-E/PHA supports safe start-up into a pre-biased output voltage. Its control architecture prevents reverse current flow during enable, protecting downstream loads and ensuring reliable operation in hot-swap and redundant power systems. This behavior is verified across the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the MIC28517T-E/PHA?
The MIC28517T-E/PHA switching frequency is set via the FREQ pin: connect directly to PVIN for 800 kHz, or use a resistor divider from PVIN to AGND to achieve frequencies from 270 kHz to 800 kHz. The relationship is linear and specified in the datasheet - e.g., 33% PVIN yields ~270 kHz. No external clock source is required.
What is the purpose of the EXTVDD pin on the MIC28517T-E/PHA?
The EXTVDD pin on the MIC28517T-E/PHA accepts an external ≥4.7V supply to bypass the internal high-voltage LDO, reducing VDD quiescent current by up to 60% at high input voltages (e.g., 48V). When unused, EXTVDD should be left floating or grounded; a 2.2 µF capacitor to PGND is required if externally powered.
Can the MIC28517T-E/PHA operate in both HLL and CCM modes simultaneously?
No, the MIC28517T-E/PHA operates exclusively in either HyperLight Load® (HLL) mode or Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM), selected by the MODE pin voltage: GND selects HLL (optimized for light-load efficiency), and VDD selects CCM (fixed-frequency operation across full load range). Automatic mode transition is not supported.
