•
Input voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V
HyperLight Load™
synchronous buck regulator with HyperLight Load™ mode.
•
Dual output current 400mA/400mA
HyperLight Load™ provides very high efficiency at light
•
Up to 94% peak efficiency and 85% efficiency at 1mA
loads and ultra-fast transient response which is perfectly
•
33µA dual quiescent current
suited for supplying processor core voltages. An additional
•
1µH inductor with a 4.7µF capacitor
benefit of this proprietary architecture is very low output
•
4MHz in PWM operation
ripple voltage throughout the entire load range with the use
of small output capacitors. The fixed output MIC23250 has
•
Ultra fast transient response
®
a tiny 2mm x 2mm Thin MLF package that saves
•
Low voltage output ripple
precious board space by requiring only 6 additional
•
20mVpp in HyperLight Load™ mode
external components to drive both outputs up to 400mA
•
3mV output voltage ripple in full PWM mode
each.
•
0.01µA shutdown current
The device is designed for use with a 1µH inductor and a
•
Fixed output:10-pin 2mm x 2mm Thin MLF®
4.7µF output capacitor that enables a sub-1mm height.
•
Adjustable output:12-pin 2.5mm x 2.5mm Thin MLF®
The MIC23250 has a very low quiescent current of 33µA
•
–40°C to +125°C junction temperature range
with both outputs enabled and can achieve over 85%
efficiency at 1mA. At higher loads the MIC23250 provides a
constant switching frequency around 4MHz while providing
Applications
peak efficiencies up to 94%.

to set output 1 voltage.
Enable 1 (Input): Logic low will shut down output 1. Logic high powers up
output 1. Do not leave unconnected.
Analog Ground. Must be connected externally to PGND.
Switch Node 1 (Output): Internal power MOSFET output.
Power Ground.
Supply Voltage (Power Input): Requires close bypass capacitor to PGND.
Switch Node 2 (Output): Internal power MOSFET output.
Supply Voltage (Power Input): Analog control circuitry. Connect to VIN.
Enable 2 (Input): Logic low will shut down output 2. Logic high powers up
output 2. Do not leave unconnected.
Sense 2 (Input): Error amplifier input. Connect to feedback resistor network
to set output 2 voltage.
Feedback VOUT2 (Input): Connect resistor divider at this node to set output
voltage. Resistors should be selected based on a nominal VFB of 0.72V.
