MIC23450
3MHz, PWM, 2A Triple Buck Regulator
with HyperLight Load^® and Power Good
General Description
The MIC23450 is a high-efficiency, 3MHz, triple 2A,
synchronous buck regulator with HyperLight Load^® mode.
HyperLight Load provides very-high efficiency at light
loads and ultra-fast transient response which is perfectly
suited for supplying processor core voltages. An additional
benefit of this proprietary architecture is very low output
ripple voltage throughout the entire load range with the use
of small output capacitors. The 5mm x 5mm MLF^®
package saves board space and requires only five external
components for each channel.
The MIC23450 is designed for use with a very small
inductor, down to 0.47µH, and an output capacitor as small
as 2.2µF that enables a total solution size, less than 1mm
height.
The MIC23450 has a very-low quiescent current of 23µA
each channel and achieves as high as 81% efficiency at
1mA. At higher loads, the MIC23450 provides a constant
switching frequency around 3MHz while achieving peak
efficiencies up to 93%.
The MIC23450 is available in 32-pin 5mm x 5mm MLF
package with an operating junction temperature range
from –40°C to +125°C.
