MIC23050
4MHz PWM Buck Regulator with
HyperLight Load™ Switching Scheme
General Description
The Micrel MIC23050 is a high efficiency 600mA PWM
synchronous buck (step-down) regulator featuring the
HyperLight Load™ patented switching scheme that offers
best-in-class light load efficiency and transient
performance while providing very small external
components and low output ripple at all loads.
The MIC23050 also has a very low typical quiescent
current draw of 20µA and can achieve over 89% efficiency
even at 1mA. The device allows operation with a tiny
inductor ranging from 0.47µH to 2.2µH and uses a small
output capacitor that enables a sub-1mm height.
In contrast to traditional light load schemes, the HyperLight
Load™ architecture does not need to trade off control
speed to obtain low standby currents and in doing so the
device only needs a small output capacitor to absorb the
load transient as the powered device goes from light load
to full load.
At higher loads the MIC23050 provides a constant
switching frequency of greater than 4MHz while providing
peak efficiencies greater than 93%.
The MIC23050
comes in fixed output voltage options from
0.72V to 3.3V eliminating external feedback components.
®
The MIC23050 is available in an 8-pin 2mm x 2mm MLF
with a junction operating range from –40°C to +125°C.
