MIC23303
4MHz PWM 3A Buck Regulator with
HyperLight Load™ and Power Good
General Description
The MIC23303 is a high-efficiency 4MHz 3A synchronous
buck regulator with HyperLight Load™ mode, Power Good
output indicator, and programmable soft-start. HyperLight
Load provides very high efficiency at light loads and ultra-
fast transient response, which makes the MIC23303
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 3mm × 3mm
DFN package saves precious board space and requires
only six external components.
The MIC23303 is designed for use with a very small
inductor, down to 0.33µH, and an output capacitor as small
as 10µF that enables a total solution size less than 1mm in
height.
The MIC23303 has very low quiescent current of 24µA and
can achieve peak efficiency of 93% in continuous
conduction mode. In discontinuous conduction mode, the
MIC23303 can achieve 80% efficiency at 1mA.
The MIC23303 is available in a 12-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN
package with an operating junction temperature range
from –40°C to +125°C.

Pin Function
Switch (Output): Internal power MOSFET output switches.
Power Good: Open-drain output for the power good indicator. Use a pull-up resistor from
this pin to a voltage source to detect a power good condition.
Enable (Input): Logic high enables operation of the regulator. Logic low shuts down the
device. Do not leave floating.
Sense: Connect to V
OUT
as close to output capacitor as possible to sense output voltage.
Feedback: Connect a resistor divider from the output to ground to set the output voltage.
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.
Analog Ground: Connect to central ground point where all high current paths meet (C
IN
,
C
OUT
, and PGND) for best operation.
Supply Voltage (Power Input): Analog control circuitry. Connect to PVIN.
Input Voltage: Connect a capacitor to ground to decouple the noise.
Power Ground.
Thermal pad: Connect to Ground plane for improved heat sinking.
