MIC33050 4MHz Internal Inductor PWM Buck Regulator with HyperLight Load General Description Features The Micrel MIC33050 is a high-efficiency 600mA PWM Input voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V synchronous buck (step-down) regulator with internal 600mA output current inductor featuring HyperLight Load, a patent-pending Fixed and adjustable output voltage options switching scheme that offers best-in-class light load No external inductor required efficiency and transient performance while providing very Ultra-fast transient response small external components and low output ripple at all 20A quiescent current loads. 4MHz switching in PWM mode The MIC33050 also has a very-low typical quiescent Low output voltage ripple current of 20A and can achieve over 85% efficiency even at 1mA. >93% peak efficiency >85% efficiency at 1mA In contrast to traditional light load schemes, the HyperLight Load architecture does not trade off control speed to Micropower shutdown obtain low standby currents and in doing so, the device 12-pin 3mm x 3mm MLF only needs a small output capacitor to absorb the load 40 C to +125 C junction temperature range transient as the powered device goes from light load to full load. Applications At higher loads, the MIC33050 provides a constant switching frequency of greater than 4MHz while providing Cellular phones peak efficiencies greater than 93%. Digital cameras The MIC33050 is available in fixed and adjustable output Portable media players voltages and comes in a 12-pin 3mm x 3mm MLF with a Wireless LAN cards junction operating range of 40 C to +125 C.
