MIC23603
4MHz PWM 6A Buck Regulator with
HyperLight Load
®
Revision 1.1
General Description
The MIC23603 is a high-efficiency 4MHz 6A 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 tiny 4mm x 5mm DFN
package saves precious board space and requires few
external components.
The MIC23603 is designed for use with a very small
inductor, down to 0.33µH, and an output capacitor as small
as 47µF that enables a sub-1mm height.
The MIC23603 has a very low quiescent current of 24µA
and achieves as high as 81% efficiency at 1mA. At higher
loads, the MIC23603 provides a constant switching
frequency around 4MHz while achieving peak efficiencies
up to 93%.
The MIC23603 is available in 20-pin 4mm x 5mm DFN
package with an operating junction temperature range
from –40°C to +125°C.

Pin Function
Switch output. Internal power MOSFET output switches.
Input voltage. Connect a capacitor to ground to decouple the noise.
Power good. Connect an external resistor to a voltage source to supply a power good indicator.
Enable input. Logic high enables operation of the regulator. Logic low shuts down the device. Do
not leave floating.
Sense input. Connect to VOUT as close to output capacitor as possible to sense output voltage.
Feedback input. Connect an external divider between VOUT and ground to program the output
voltage.
Analog ground. Connect to central ground point where all high current paths meet (CIN, COUT,
PGND) for best operation.
Soft Start. Place a capacitor from this pin to ground to program the soft start time. Do not leave
floating, 2.2nF minimum C
SS
is required.
Supply voltage. Analog control circuitry. Connect to VIN through a 10Ω resistor.
Power Ground.
