MIC33050
4MHz Internal Inductor PWM Buck
Regulator with HyperLight Load
®
General Description
Features
The Micrel MIC33050 is a high-efficiency 600mA PWM
Input voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V
synchronous buck (step-down) regulator with internal
600mA output current
inductor featuring HyperLight Load, a patent-pending
Fixed and adjustable output voltage options
switching scheme that offers best-in-class light load
No external inductor required
efficiency and transient performance while providing very
Ultra-fast transient response
small external components and low output ripple at all
20µA quiescent current
loads.
4MHz switching in PWM mode
The MIC33050 also has a very-low typical quiescent
Low output voltage ripple
current of 20µA and can achieve over 85% efficiency even
>93% peak efficiency
at 1mA.
>85% efficiency at 1mA
In contrast to traditional light load schemes, the HyperLight
Micropower shutdown
Load architecture does not trade off control speed to
obtain low standby currents and in doing so, the device
12-pin 3mm x 3mm MLF

only needs a small output capacitor to absorb the load

transient as the powered device goes from light load to full
load.
Applications
At higher loads, the MIC33050 provides a constant
switching frequency of greater than 4MHz while providing

Pin Function
Supply Voltage (Input): Requires bypass capacitor-to-GND.
Power Ground.
Switch (Output): Internal power MOSFET output switches.
Output after the internal inductor.
Enable (Input): Logic low will shut down the device, reducing the quiescent
current to less than 4µA. Do not leave floating.
Input to the error amplifier. Connect to the external resistor divider network to
see the output voltage. For fixed output voltages connect V
OUT
(internal resistor
network sets the output voltage).
Feed forward capacitor connected to out sense pin.
Feedback voltage. Connect a resistor divider from output to ground to set the
output voltage.
Analog ground.
Exposed Heatsink Pad. Connect to power ground for best thermal performance.
