MIC33M356
3A, Power Module Buck Converter
with HyperLight Load® Mode and I2C Interface
Features
General Description
• Input Voltage Range: 2.4V to 5.5V
• 3A Output Current
• Multiple Faults Indication through I2C
• I2C Programmable:
The Microchip MIC33M356 is a I2C programmable,
high-efficiency, low-voltage input, 3A current, synchro-
nous step-down regulator power module with
integrated inductor. The Constant On-Time (COT)
control architecture with HyperLight Load® mode
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. Two different default voltage options (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 to 1.28V at 5 mV resolution or
0.6V to 3.84V, 10 and 20 mV resolution
- Slew rate: 0.2 ms/V to 3.2 ms/V
- On-time (switching frequency)
- High-side current limit: 3.5A or 5A
- Enable delay: 0.2 ms-3 ms
- Output discharge when disabled (EN = GND)
• High Efficiency (up to 95%)
An open-drain Power Good output facilitates output
voltage monitoring and sequencing. If set in shutdown
(EN = GND), the MIC33M356 typically draws 1.5 µA of
current, while the output is discharged through a 10
pull-down resistor (if the output discharge feature is
enabled).
• Ultra-Fast Transient Response
• ±1.5% Output Voltage Accuracy Over
Line/Load/Temperature Range
• 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 MIC33M356 pinout is compatible with the
Microchip MIC33M350, so that applications can be
easily converted.
• Latch-Off Thermal Shutdown Protection
• Latch-Off Current Limit Protection
• Power Good (PG) Open-Drain Output
• Meets the CISPR32 Class B Emissions
The 2.4V to 5.5V input voltage range, low shutdown and
quiescent currents make the MIC33M356 ideal for
single-cell Li-Ion battery-powered applications. The 100%
duty cycle capability provides low dropout operation,
extending operating range in portable systems.
Applications
The MIC33M356 is available in a thermally-efficient,
24-lead, 3.0 mm × 4.5 mm × 1.8 mm QFN package,
with an operating junction temperature range of -40°C
to +125°C.
• Solid-State Drives (SSD)
• Tablets, Notebooks and Ultrabooks
• FPGAs, DSP and Low-Voltage ASIC Power
