MIC23031
®
4 MHz PWM 400 mA Buck Regulator with HyperLight Load
Features
General Description
• Input Voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V
The MIC23031 is a high-efficiency, 4 MHz, 400 mA
synchronous buck regulator with HyperLight Load®
mode. HyperLight Load provides very high efficiency at
light loads and ultra-fast transient response that is
perfectly suited for supplying processor core voltages.
An additional benefit of this proprietary architecture is
the very low output ripple voltage throughout the entire
load range with the use of small output capacitors. The
tiny 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm TDFN package saves precious
board space and requires only three external
components.
• 400 mA Output Current
• Up to 93% Efficiency and 88% at 1 mA
• 21 µA Typical Quiescent Current
• 4 MHz PWM Operation in Continuous Mode
• Ultra-Fast Transient Response
• Low Voltage Output Ripple
- 20 mVPP Ripple in HyperLight Load® Mode
- 3 mV Output Voltage Ripple in Full PWM
Mode
The MIC23031 is designed for use with a very small
inductor, down to 0.47 µH, and an output capacitor as
small as 2.2 µF that enables a sub 1 mm height.
• 0.01 µA Shutdown Current
• MIC23031 Fixed and Adjustable Output Voltage
Options Available
The MIC23031 has a very low quiescent current of
21 µA and achieves as high as 88% efficiency at 1 mA.
At higher loads, the MIC23031 provides a constant
switching frequency around 4 MHz while achieving
peak efficiencies up to 93%.
• 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm 6-Lead TDFN Package
