MIC23254
4MHz Dual 400mA Synchronous Buck
Regulator with Low Input Voltage and
HyperLight Load™
General Description
Features
The MIC23254 is a low-input voltage, high-efficiency 4MHz
•
Low input voltage range: 2.5V to 5.5V
dual 400mA synchronous buck regulator with HyperLight
•
Dual output current 400mA/400mA
Load™ mode. HyperLight Load™ provides very-high
•
Up to 94% peak efficiency and 85% efficiency at 1mA
efficiency at light loads and ultra-fast transient response
•
33µA dual quiescent current
which is perfectly suited for supplying processor core
•
1µH inductor with a 4.7µF capacitor
voltages. An additional benefit of this proprietary
•
4MHz in PWM operation
architecture is very-low output ripple voltage throughout
the entire load range with the use of small output
•
Ultra-fast transient response
capacitors. MIC23254 operates from an input voltage
•
Low voltage output ripple
down to 2.5V for low battery states. The MIC23254 has a
•
20mVpp in HyperLight Load™ mode
®
tiny 2mm x 2mm Thin MLF package that saves precious
•
3mV output voltage ripple in full PWM mode
board space by requiring only 6 additional external
•
0.01µA shutdown current
components to drive both outputs up to 400mA each.
•
Fixed output:10-pin 2mm x 2mm Thin MLF®
The device is designed for use with a 1µH inductor and a
•
–40°C to +125°C junction temperature range
4.7µF output capacitor that enables a sub-1mm height.
The MIC23254 has a very-low quiescent current of 33µA
with both outputs enabled and can achieve over 85%
Applications
efficiency at 1mA. At higher loads the MIC23254 provides a
•
Mobile handsets
constant switching frequency around 4MHz while providing
•
Portable media players
peak efficiencies over 90%.
•
Portable navigation devices (GPS)
The MIC23254 fixed output voltage option is available in a
•
WiFi/WiMax/WiBro modules
10-pin 2mm x 2mm Thin MLF
®
. The MIC23254 is designed
•
Digital cameras
to operate over the junction operating range from –40°C to
