MIC2827
Triple Output PMIC with HyperLight Load DC-
2
DC, two LDOs, and I C Control
General Description
Features
The Micrel MIC2827 is a three output, programmable
2
Power Management IC, optimized for high efficiency
Fast-mode I C control interface
power support in Mobile Application Processors, Co-
Tiny 14-pin 2.5mm x 2.5mm MLF package
Processors, DSPs, GPS and Media Player chipsets. The
Default start-up voltage states and sequencing
device integrates a single 500mA PWM/PFM synchronous
buck (step-down) regulator with two Low Dropout Fault indication processor flag - IRQb
Regulators and a 400kHz IC interface that provides
-40C to 125C junction temperature range
programmable Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS), Power
Thermal shutdown and current-limit protection
Sequencing, and individual output Enable/Disable controls
Power On After Fault (POAF) function
allowing the user to optimally control all three outputs.
The 4MHz synchronous buck regulator features a patented
DC-DC Synchronous Buck
HyperLight Load (HLL) architecture which minimizes
2.7V to 5.5V input voltage range
switching losses and provides low quiescent current
500mA continuous output current
operation for high efficiency at light loads. Additional
HyperLight Load mode
benefits of this proprietary architecture are low output
25A quiescent current
ripple voltage and fast transient response throughout the
entire load range with the use of small output capacitors,
90% peak efficiency; 85% at 1mA
reducing the overall system size.
Ultra-fast transient response
Two high performance LDOs are integrated into the
Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) range: 0.8V to 1.8V
MIC2827 to provide additional system voltages for I/O,
0.8V to 1.2V in 25mV steps
memory and other analog functions. Each LDO is capable
1.2V to 1.8V in 50mV steps
of sourcing 150mA output current with high PSRR and low
3% over temperature
output noise. A 2% output voltage accuracy, low dropout
voltage (150mV @ 150mA), and low ground current of
Low output voltage ripple: 20mVpp in HyperLight
83A (both LDOs operating) makes this device ideally
Load mode, 3mV in full PWM mode
suited for mobile applications.
LDOs
The MIC2827 is available in a tiny 14-pin 2.5mm x 2.5mm
1.8V to V input voltage range
Thin MLF with a junction operating range from -40C to DVIN
+125 C.
