General Description
The Micrel MIC22400 is a high-efficiency, 4A integrated switch synchronous buck (step-down) regulator. The MIC22400 is optimized for highest efficiency, achieving over 90% efficiency while still switching at 1MHz over a broad load range. The ultra-high-speed control loop keeps the output voltage within regulation even under extreme transient load swings commonly found in FPGAs and lowvoltage ASICs.
