MIC23201
2MHz PWM 2A Buck Regulator with
Hyper Speed Control
General Description Features
Input voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V
The MIC23201 is a high efficiency 2MHz 2A synchronous
buck regulator with Hyper Speed Control. Micrels Hyper 2A output current
Speed Control provides ultra-fast transient response which Up to 90% peak efficiency
is perfectly suited for supplying processor core voltages.
Programmable Soft-Start
An additional benefit of this proprietary architecture is very

low output ripple voltage throughout the entire load range
2MHz switching frequency
with the use of small output capacitors. The tiny 3mm x
Safe for pre-biased output
3mm MLF package saves precious board space and
Ultra fast transient response
requires only three external components.
Low voltage output ripple, 16mV at full load
The MIC23201 is designed for use with a very small

ground to set the output voltage.
Power Good output: Open Drain output for the power good indicator. Place a resistor between this

pin and a voltage source to detect a power good condition.
Soft Start: Place a capacitor from SS pin to ground to program the soft start time. Do not leave this
