MIC23156
1.5A, 3MHz Synchronous Buck Regulator
with HyperLight Load
®
and I
2
C Control for
Dynamic Voltage Scaling
General Description
The MIC23156 is a high-efficiency 1.5A synchronous buck
®
regulator with HyperLight Load mode and dynamic
2
voltage scaling control through I C. HyperLight Load
provides very high efficiency at light loads and ultra-fast
transient response. The ability to dynamically change the
output voltage and maintain high output voltage accuracy
make the MIC23156 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
2
output capacitors. Fast mode plus I C provides output
2
voltage and chip enable/disable control from standard I C
2
bus with I C clock rates of 100kHz, 400kHz, and 1MHz.
The MIC23156 is designed for use with 1µH, and an
output capacitor as small as 2.2µF that enables a total
solution size, less than 1mm in height.
The MIC23156 is available in both 16-ball, 0.4mm Pitch,
1.81mm x 1.71mm wafer level chip scale (WLCSP), and
®
17-pin 2.8mm x 2.5mm MLF packages with an operating
junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
