MIC33030
8MHz 400mA Internal Inductor Buck
Regulator with HyperLight Load™
General Description
Features
• Internal Inductor
− Simplifies design to two external capacitors
• Input voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V
• Output voltage accuracy of ±2.5% over temperature
• 400mA output current
• Efficiency up to 78% at 1mA
• 21µA typical quiescent current
• Up to 8MHz PWM operation in continuous mode
• Ultra-fast transient response
The MIC33030 is a high-efficiency, 8MHz, 400mA
synchronous buck regulator with an internal inductor and
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 2.5mm x 2.0mm MLF® package
saves precious board space and requires only two external
capacitors.
• Low-voltage output ripple
− 30mVpp ripple in HyperLight Load™ mode
− 7mV output voltage ripple in full PWM mode
• Fully-integrated MOSFET switches
The MIC33030 is designed for use with tiny output
capacitors as small as 2.2µF. This gives the MIC33030 the
ease of use of an LDO with the efficiency of a HyperLight
Load™ DC converter.
• 0.01µA shutdown current
• Thermal shutdown and current-limit protection
The MIC33030 achieves efficiency in HyperLight Load™
mode as high as 78% at 1mA, with a very-low quiescent
current of 21µA. At higher loads, the MIC33030 provides a
constant switching frequency up to 8MHz.
• Fixed and adjustable output voltage options available
(0.7V to 3.6V)
• 2.5mm x 2.0mm 10-Lead MLF®
• –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range
The MIC33030 is available in a 10-pin 2.5mm x 2.0mm
MLF® package with an operating junction temperature
range of –40°C to +125°C.
