MIC33163/4
4MHz, 1A, Buck Regulator with Integrated
Inductor and HyperLight Load
®
General Description
The MIC33163/4 is a highly-efficient synchronous buck
regulator with integrated inductor which provides the
optimal trade-off between footprint and efficiency. The
MIC33163/4 operates at 4MHz switching frequency and
provides up to 1A output current. In addition, the 100%
®
duty cycle and HyperLight Load (HLL) mode-of-operation
delivers very-high efficiency at light loads and ultra-fast
transient response which makes the MIC33163/4 perfectly
suited for any space constrained application and great
alternative for low dropout regulators. 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 MIC33163/4 provides a small compact total solution
size of 4.6mm × 7mm with very few tiny external
components.
At higher loads, the MIC33163/4 provides a constant
switching frequency around 4MHz while achieving peak
efficiencies up to 93%. It also includes under-voltage
lockout to ensure proper operation under power-sag
conditions, internal soft-start to reduce inrush current, fold-
back current limit, power good (PG) indicator and thermal
shutdown. The MIC33163/4 is available in 20-pin 2.5mm ×
3.0mm × 1.1mm QFN package with an operating junction
temperature range from –40°C to +125°C.

Pin Function
Power Input Voltage: Connect a capacitor to PGND to decouple the noise.
Power Ground.
Switch (Output): Internal power MOSFET output switches. Disable pull-down 180Ω (MIC33164 only).
Inductor Output. Connect a capacitor to PGND to filter the switcher output voltage
Analog Ground: Connect to central ground point where all high current paths meet (CIN, COUT,
PGND) for best operation.
Analog Input Voltage: Connect a capacitor to ground to decouple the noise.
Soft-Start: Place a capacitor from SS pin to ground to program the soft start time.
Power Good: Open Drain output for the power good indicator. Place a resistor between this pin and a
voltage source to detect a power good condition.
Feedback: Connect a resistor divider from VOUT to AGND to set the output voltage.
Enable (Input): Logic high enables operation of the regulator. Logic low will shut down the device. Do
not leave floating.
