MIC23155 3MHz PWM 2A Buck Regulator with HyperLight Load and Power Good General Description Features The MIC23155 is a high-efficiency 3MHz 2A synchronous Input voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V buck regulator with HyperLight Load mode, power good Output voltage: fixed or adjustable (down to 0.7V) output indicator, and programmable soft start. HyperLight Up to 2A output current Load provides very high efficiency at light loads and ultra- Up to 94% peak efficiency fast transient response which makes the MIC23155 85% typical efficiency at 1mA perfectly suited for supplying processor core voltages. An additional benefit of this proprietary architecture is very low Power good output output ripple voltage throughout the entire load range with Programmable soft start the use of small output capacitors. The tiny 2.5mm x 22A typical quiescent current 2.5mm Thin DFN package saves precious board space 3MHz PWM operation in continuous conduction mode and requires only four external components. Ultra-fast transient response The MIC23155 is designed for use with a very small inductor, down to 0.47H, and an output capacitor as small Active output discharge when disabled as 2.2F that enables a total solution size, less than 1mm Low output voltage ripple in height. Fully-integrated MOSFET switches The MIC23155 has a very low quiescent current of 22A 0.01A shutdown current and achieves a peak efficiency of 94% in continuous Thermal-shutdown and current-limit protection conduction mode. In discontinuous conduction mode, the MIC23155 can achieve 85% efficiency at 1mA. 10-pin 2.5mm x 2.5mm Thin DFN 40C to +125C junction temperature range The MIC23155 is available in a 10-pin 2.5mm x 2.5mm Thin DFN package with an operating junction temperature Applications range from 40C to +125C.
