MIC23656
6A, Step-Down Converter
with HyperLight Load™ and I2C Interface
Features
General Description
• Input Voltage Range: 2.4V to 5.5V
• 6A (pulsed) Output Current
• Multiple Faults Indication through I2C
• I2C Programmable:
The MIC23656 is a high-efficiency, low-voltage input,
6A peak current synchronous step-down regulator. The
Constant-ON-Time (COT) control architecture with
HyperLight Load™ provides very high efficiency at light
loads, while still having ultra-fast transient response.
The I2C interface allows programming the output volt-
age between 0.6V and 1.28V, with 5 mV resolution or
between 0.6V and 3.84V, with 10 mV and 20 mV reso-
lution. Three different default voltage options (0.6V,
0.9V and 1.0V) are provided so that the application can
be started with a safe voltage level and then moved to
high performance modes under I2C control.
- Output Voltage: 0.6V - 1.28V, 5 mV
Resolution or 0.6V - 3.84V, 10/20 mV
Resolution
- Slew Rate: 0.2 ms/V - 3.2 ms/V
- ON time (Switching Frequency)
- High Side Current Limit: 3.5A - 10A
- Enable Delay: 0.2 ms - 3 ms
- Output Discharge when Disabled
(EN = GND)
An open-drain Power Good output facilitates output
voltage monitoring and sequencing. If set in shutdown
(EN = GND), the MIC23656 typically draws 1.5 µA,
while the output is discharged through 10pull-down
(if the output discharge feature is enabled).
• High Efficiency (up to 95%)
• Ultra-Fast Transient Response
• ±1.5% Output Voltage Accuracy Over
Line/Load/Temperature Range
The MIC23656 pinout is compatible with the
MIC23650, so that applications can be easily
converted.
• Safe Start-Up with Pre-Biased Output
• Typical 1.5 µA Shutdown Supply Current
• Low Dropout (100% Duty Cycle) Operation
• I2C Speed up to 3.4 MHz
The 2.4V to 5.5V input voltage range, low shutdown
and quiescent currents make the MIC23656 ideal for
single-cell Li-Ion battery-powered applications. The
100% duty cycle capability provides low dropout
operation, extending operating range in portable
systems.
• Latch-Off Thermal Shutdown Protection
• Latch-Off Current Limit Protection
• Power-Good (PG) Open-Drain Output
The MIC23656 is available in a thermally efficient,
16-Lead 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm x 0.55 mm thin FTQFN
package, with an operating junction temperature range
from -40°C to +125°C.
Applications
• Solid State Drives (SSD)
• FPGAs, DSP and Low-Voltage ASIC Power
