MIC23451
3MHz, 2A Triple Synchronous
Buck Regulator with
HyperLight Load
®
and Power Good
General Description
The MIC23451 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 ideal 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 4mm x 4mm QFN package
saves board space and requires only five external
components for each channel.
The MIC23451 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 that is less than
1mm height.
The MIC23451 has a very-low quiescent current of 24µA
each channel and achieves as high as 81% efficiency at
1mA. At higher loads, the MIC23451 provides a constant
switching frequency around 3MHz while achieving peak
efficiencies up to 93%.
The MIC23451 is available in a 26-pin 4mm x 4mm QFN
package with an operating junction temperature range
from –40°C to +125°C.

Pin Function
Switch (Output). Internal power MOSFET output switches for output 1/2/3.
Enable (Input). Logic high enables operation of regulator 1/2/3. Logic low will shut down the
device. Do not leave floating.
Sense. Connect to V
OUT1,2,3
as close to output capacitor as possible to sense output voltage.
Feedback. Connect a resistor divider from output 1/2/3 to ground to set the output voltage.
Power Good. Open-drain output for the power good indicator for output 1/2/3. Place a resistor
between this pin and a voltage source to detect a power good condition.
Analog Ground. Connect to quiet ground point away from high-current paths, for example, C
OUT
,
for best operation. Must be connected externally to PGND.
Power Input Voltage. Connect a capacitor to PGND to localize loop currents and decouple
switching noise.
Analog Input Voltage. Connect a capacitor to AGND to decouple noise.
