Product details
Overview
MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO from Microchip Technology is a 4.5V–70V input, 8A synchronous buck regulator with Hyper Speed Control® architecture, ±1% feedback accuracy, and adjustable 270–800 kHz switching frequency-enabling high-VIN/low-VOUT conversion (e.g., 70V→0.6V) in industrial power supplies and solar energy systems.
For engineers reviewing the MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO datasheet, MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO pinout, MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO application, or MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO equivalent, key selection considerations include AEC-Q104 qualification (VAO suffix), selectable HyperLight Load®/CCM mode, internal bootstrap diode, programmable current limit, and safe start-up into pre-biased outputs.
Technical Context
The MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO implements an adaptive on-time control architecture that merges fixed-frequency stability with ultra-fast transient response-reducing required output capacitance while supporting wide VIN/VOUT ratios. Its dual-mode operation (HLL for light-load efficiency, CCM for load-invariant frequency) is selected via the MODE pin.
Protection includes hiccup-mode short-circuit response, thermal shutdown at +150°C with +15°C hysteresis, UVLO (4.2V trip, 600 mV hysteresis), and safe pre-biased start-up. Internal compensation, Any Capacitor™ stability, and integrated 5V regulator enable single-supply operation without external bias rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
Package: 32-pin, 6 mm × 6 mm VQFN with exposed thermal pad (pin 1 marked). Designed for high-power density and thermal performance in space-constrained industrial and automotive DC/DC converters.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ILIM | Current limit programming input | Connects to SW via resistor to set precise overcurrent threshold (5.75–6.75A); enables robust fault protection without sensing resistors. |
| 2,16–19,22,29 PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high-current switch node return; must be routed separately from AGND to avoid noise coupling into control loop. |
| 12–15,20 SW | Switch node | High-current connection point for inductor; ties internal high-side drain and low-side source; requires minimal loop area for EMI reduction. |
| 3 SW | Switch node feedback | Provides internal controller with SW voltage reference; must be connected directly to main SW node on PCB. |
| 4 BST | Bootstrap supply output | Drives high-side gate via internal diode and external 0.1 µF BST capacitor; eliminates need for external bootstrap circuitry. |
| 5–11 PVIN | Main power input | Parallel high-voltage input pins reduce IR drop and thermal stress; require short, low-inductance connections to bulk input capacitors. |
| 21 PVDD | MOSFET driver supply | Powered via 2 Ω resistor from VDD; decoupled with ≥4.7 µF ceramic cap to sustain gate drive during high dI/dt switching events. |
| 23 EXTVDD | Auxiliary LDO input | Accepts 4.7–13.2V external supply to bypass internal HV LDO, improving system efficiency when auxiliary rail is available. |
| 24 EN | Enable control input | CMOS-compatible logic input (1.6V high, 0.6V low); reduces quiescent current to 0.15 µA in shutdown state. |
| 25 FREQ | Frequency programming | Resistor-divider input sets switching frequency from 270–800 kHz; enables EMI compliance tuning and inductor selection flexibility. |
| 26 MODE | Operation mode select | GND = HyperLight Load® (HLL) for peak light-load efficiency; VDD = Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) for stable frequency across load range. |
| 27 FB | Voltage feedback input | Regulated to 0.6V reference; used with resistor divider to set output from 0.6V to 32V; ±1% accuracy maintained over full temperature range. |
| 28 AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for all internal control circuits; must connect to PGND at single point near IC to prevent ground bounce in feedback path. |
| 30 VDD | Bias supply input | 4.5–5.5V supply for internal reference and logic; requires local 2.2 µF ceramic decoupling to ensure stable startup and regulation. |
| 31 SVIN | Internal regulator input | Supplies internal 5V regulator via 2 Ω series resistor; decoupled with 1 µF cap to AGND to filter noise from high-voltage input path. |
| 32 PG | Open-drain Power Good | Asserts low when VOUT falls below 90% of target; provides system-level sequencing and fault indication with 100 µs delay and 6% hysteresis. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO?
The MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO 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, solar arrays, and automotive 24V/48V systems without external pre-regulation. Operation above 70V is not guaranteed and may impact reliability.
Does the MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO support start-up into a pre-biased output?
Yes, the MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO supports safe start-up into a pre-biased output-a critical feature for hot-swap and redundant power systems. The device prevents reverse current flow by controlling high-side FET turn-on timing and monitoring SW node voltage during soft-start, ensuring controlled ramp-up even when VOUT is initially charged.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO?
The MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO switching frequency is programmed via the FREQ pin using a resistor divider from PVIN to AGND. Connecting FREQ directly to PVIN sets fSW to 800 kHz; connecting to a midpoint yields frequencies down to 270 kHz. The relationship is linear and specified in the datasheet's Section 5.1, enabling precise EMI and efficiency tuning.
What does the "VAO" suffix in MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO indicate?
The "VAO" suffix in MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO indicates AEC-Q104 qualification-validating the device for automotive applications. It confirms compliance with stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, ESD, and lifetime reliability under automotive conditions, including operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Can the MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO operate in both HyperLight Load® and Continuous Conduction Mode?
Yes, the MIC28517T-E/PHAVAO supports both modes via the MODE pin: tie MODE to GND for HyperLight Load® (HLL) mode-optimized for peak light-load efficiency-and tie MODE to VDD for Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)-which maintains nearly constant switching frequency across the full 0–8A load range. Both modes are fully supported and characterized in the datasheet.
