MIC23153
4MHz PWM 2A Buck Regulator with
HyperLight Load™ and Power Good
General Description
The MIC23153 is a high-efficiency, 4MHz, 2A,
synchronous buck regulator with HyperLight Load™ mode,
Power Good output indicator, and programmable soft-start.
HyperLight Load™ provides very-high efficiency at light
loads and ultra-fast transient response which makes the
MIC23153 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 output
®
capacitors. The tiny 2.5mm x 2.5mm Thin MLF package
saves precious board space and requires only four
external components.
The MIC23153 is designed for use with a very-small
inductor, down to 0.47µH, and an output capacitor as small
as 2.2 µF that enables a total solution size, less than 1mm
in height.
The MIC23153 has a very-low quiescent current of 22µA
and achieves a peak efficiency of 93% in continuous
conduction mode. In discontinuous conduction mode, the
MIC23153 can achieve 85% efficiency at 1mA.
The MIC23153 is available in 10-pin 2.5mm x 2.5mm Thin
MLF
®
package with an operating junction temperature
range from –40°C to +125°C.

Pin Function
Switch (Output): Internal power MOSFET output switches.
Enable (Input): Logic high enables operation of the regulator. Logic low will shut
down the device. Do not leave floating.
Sense: Connect to V
OUT
as close to output capacitor as possible to sense output
voltage.
Not Internally Connected.
Feedback: Connect a resistor divider from the output to ground to set the output
voltage.
Power Good: Open drain output for the power good indicator. Use a pull-up resistor
from this pin to a voltage source to detect a power good condition.
Soft Start: Place a capacitor from this pin to ground to program the soft start time.
Do not leave floating, 100pF minimum C
SS
is required.
Analog Ground: Connect to central ground point where all high current paths meet
(C
IN
, C
OUT
, PGND) for best operation.
Input Voltage: Connect a capacitor to ground to decouple the noise.
