General Description
The MIC23656 is a high-efficiency, low-voltage input,
6A peak current synchronous step-down regulator. The
Constant-ON-Time (COT) control architecture with
HyperLight Load™ provides very high efficiency at light
loads, while still having ultra-fast transient response.
The I
2
C interface allows programming the output volt-
age between 0.6V and 1.28V, with 5 mV resolution or
between 0.6V and 3.84V, with 10 mV and 20 mV reso-
lution. Three different default voltage options (0.6V,
0.9V and 1.0V) are provided so that the application can
be started with a safe voltage level and then moved to
high performance modes under I
2
C control.
An open-drain Power Good output facilitates output
voltage monitoring and sequencing. If set in shutdown
(EN = GND), the MIC23656 typically draws 1.5 µA,
while the output is discharged through 10pull-down
(if the output discharge feature is enabled).
The MIC23656 pinout is compatible with the
MIC23650, so that applications can be easily
converted.
The 2.4V to 5.5V input voltage range, low shutdown
and quiescent currents make the MIC23656 ideal for
single-cell Li-Ion battery-powered applications. The
100% duty cycle capability provides low dropout
operation, extending operating range in portable
systems.
The MIC23656 is available in a thermally efficient,
16-Lead 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm x 0.55 mm thin FTQFN
package, with an operating junction temperature range
from -40°C to +125°C.
