MIC23150 4MHz, PWM, 2A Buck Regulator with HyperLight Load General Description The MIC23150 is a high-efficiency 4MHz 2A synchronous HyperLight Load buck regulator with HyperLight Load mode. HyperLight Load provides very high efficiency at light loads and ultra- Features fast transient response which is perfectly suited for supplying processor core voltages. An additional benefit of Input voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V this proprietary architecture is very low output ripple 2A output current voltage throughout the entire load range with the use of Up to 93% peak efficiency small output capacitors. The tiny 2mm 2mm Thin DFN 87% typical efficiency at 1mA (TDFN) package saves precious board space and requires only three external components. 23A typical quiescent current 4MHz PWM operation in continuous mode The MIC23150 is designed for use with a very small inductor, down to 0.47H, and an output capacitor as small Ultra-fast transient response as 2.2 F that enables a total solution size, less than 1mm Low ripple output voltage height. 14mVpp ripple in HyperLight Load mode The MIC23150 has a very low quiescent current of 23A 5mV output voltage ripple in full PWM mode and achieves a peak efficiency of 93% in continuous 0.01A shutdown current conduction mode. In discontinuous conduction mode, the Thermal-shutdown and current-limit protection MIC23150 can achieve 87% efficiency at 1mA. Output voltage as low as 0.95V The MIC23150 is available in 8-pin 2mm 2mm Thin DFN 8-pin 2mm 2mm Thin DFN (TDFN) package package with an operating junction temperature range from 40C to +125C.
