Output voltage scaling option
performance while providing very small external
•
Ultra fast transient response
components and low output ripple at all loads.
•
20µA typical quiescent current
The MIC23051 has an output voltage scaling feature that
can toggles between two different voltage levels.
•
4MHz in CCM PWM operation in normal mode
The MIC23051 also has a very low typical quiescent

0.47µH to 2.2µH inductor
current draw of 20µA and can achieve over 85% efficiency
•
Low voltage output ripple
even at 1mA. The device allows operation with a tiny
– 25mVpp in HyperLight Load mode
inductor ranging from 0.47µH to 2.2µH and uses a small
– 3mV output voltage ripple in full PWM mode
output capacitor that enables a sub-1mm height solution.
•
>93% efficiency
In contrast to traditional light load schemes HyperLight
•
~85% at 1mA
Load™ architecture does not need to trade off control
speed to obtain low standby currents and in doing so the

Micropower shutdown
device only needs a small output capacitor to absorb the

Switch (Output): Internal power MOSFET output switches.
Enable (Input). Logic low will shut down the device, reducing the quiescent
current to less than 4µA. Do not leave floating.
Voltage scaling pin (input): A low on this pin will scale the output voltage
down to specified level. Do not leave floating.
Connect to V
