MIC23155 3MHz PWM 2A Buck Regulator with HyperLight Load® and Power Good General Description Features The MIC23155 is a high-efficiency 3MHz 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 ultrafast transient response which makes the MIC23155 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 DFN package saves precious board space and requires only four external components. The MIC23155 is designed for use with a very small inductor, down to 0.47µH, and an output capacitor as small as 2.2µF that enables a total solution size, less than 1mm in height. The MIC23155 has a very low quiescent current of 22µA and achieves a peak efficiency of 94% in continuous conduction mode. In discontinuous conduction mode, the MIC23155 can achieve 85% efficiency at 1mA. The MIC23155 is available in a 10-pin 2.5mm x 2.5mm Thin DFN package with an operating junction temperature range from –40°C to +125°C.

MIC23155 PGND The power ground pin is the ground path for the high current in PWM mode. The current loop for the power ground should be as small as possible and separate from the analog ground (AGND) loop as applicable. Refer to the layout recommendations for more details. Functional Description VIN The input supply (VIN) provides power to the internal MOSFETs for the switch mode regulator along with the internal control circuitry. The VIN operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V. An input capacitor with a minimum voltage rating of 6.3V is recommended. Due to the high switching speed, a minimum 2.2µF bypass capacitor placed close to VIN and the power ground (PGND) pin is required. Refer to the PCB Layout Recommendations for details. PG The power good (PG) pin is an open drain output which indicates when the output voltage is within regulation. This is indicated by a logic high signal when the output voltage is above the PG threshold. Connect a pull up resistor greater than 5kΩ from PG to VOUT. EN A logic high signal on the enable pin activates the output voltage of the device. A logic low signal on the enable pin deactivates the output and reduces supply current to 0.01µA. MIC23155 features external soft start circuitry via the SS pin that reduces inrush current and prevents the output voltage from overshooting at start up. Do not leave the EN pin floating. SS The SS pin is used to control the output voltage ramp up time. The approximate equation for the ramp time in 3 milliseconds is 270x10 x ln(10) x CSS. For example, for a CSS = 470pF, TRISE ≈ 300µs. Refer to the “VOUT Rise Time vs. CSS” graph in the Typical Characteristics section. The minimum recommended value for CSS is 200pF. SW The switch (SW) connects directly to one end of the inductor and provides the current path during switching cycles. The other end of the inductor is connected to the load, SNS pin, and output capacitor. Due to the high speed switching on this pin, the switch node should be routed away from sensitive nodes whenever possible. FB The feedback (FB) pin is provided for the adjustable voltage option. This is the control input for setting the output voltage. A resistor divider network is connected to this pin from the output and is compared to the internal 0.62V reference within the regulation loop. The output voltage can be calculated using Equation 1: SNS The sense (SNS) pin is connected to the output of the device to provide feedback to the control circuitry. The SNS connection should be placed close to the output capacitor. Refer to the layout recommendations for more details. The SNS pin also provides the output active discharge circuit path to pull down the output voltage when the device is disabled. R1 VOUT = VREF ⋅ 1 + R2 Recommended feedback resistor values: AGND The analog ground (AGND) is the ground path for the biasing and control circuitry. The current loop for the signal ground should be separate from the power ground (PGND) loop. Refer to the layout recommendations for more details.

MIC23155 Peak current can be calculated in Equation 2: Application Information The MIC23155 is a high performance DC/DC step-down regulator offering a small solution size. Supporting an output current up to 2A in a tiny 2.5mm x 2.5mm Thin DFN package, the IC requires only four external components while meeting today’s miniature portable electronic device needs. Using the HyperLight Load switching scheme, the MIC23155 is able to maintain high efficiency throughout the entire load range while providing ultra fast load transient response. The following sections provide additional device application information. 1 − VOUT /VIN IPEAK = IOUT + VOUT 2× f ×L Eq. 2 As shown by the calculation above, the peak inductor current is inversely proportional to the switching frequency and the inductance. The lower the switching frequency or inductance, the higher the peak current. As input voltage increases, the peak current also increases. The size of the inductor depends on the requirements of the application. Refer to the typical application circuit and Bill of Materials for details. DC resistance (DCR) is also important. While DCR is inversely proportional to size, DCR can represent a significant efficiency loss. Refer to the “Efficiency Considerations” subsection. The transition between continuous conduction code (CCM) to HyperLight Load mode is determined by the inductor ripple current and the load current. Input Capacitor A 2.2µF ceramic capacitor or greater should be placed close to the VIN pin and PGND pin for bypassing. A Murata GRM188R60J475ME84D, size 0603, 4.7µF ceramic capacitor is recommended based upon performance, size and cost. A X5R or X7R temperature rating is recommended for the input capacitor. Output Capacitor The MIC23155 is designed for use with a 2.2µF or greater ceramic output capacitor. Increasing the output capacitance will lower output ripple and improve load transient response but could also increase solution size or cost. A low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic output capacitor such as the Murata GRM188R60J475ME84D, size 0603, 4.7µF ceramic capacitor is recommended based upon performance, size and cost. Both the X7R or X5R temperature rating capacitors are recommended. Inductor Selection When selecting an inductor, it is important to consider the following factors: • Inductance • Rated current value • Size requirements • DC resistance (DCR) Figure 3. Transition between CCM Mode to HLL Mode Figure 3 illustrates the signals for high-side switch drive (HSD) for TON control, the Inductor current, and the lowside switch drive (LSD) for TOFF control. In HLL mode, the inductor is charged with a fixed Ton pulse on the high side switch. After this, the low side switch is turned on and current falls at a rate VOUT/L. The controller remains in HLL mode while the inductor falling current is detected to cross approximately -50mA. When the LSD (or TOFF) time reaches its minimum and the inductor falling current is no longer able to reach the threshold, the part is in CCM mode. The MIC23155 is designed for use with a 0.47µH to 2.2µH inductor. For faster transient response, a 0.47µH inductor will yield the best result. For lower output ripple, a 2.2µH inductor is recommended. Maximum current ratings of the inductor are generally given in two methods; permissible DC current, and saturation current. Permissible DC current can be rated either for a 40°C temperature rise or a 10% to 20% loss in inductance. Ensure the inductor selected can handle the maximum operating current. When saturation current is specified, make sure that there is enough margin so that the peak current does not cause the inductor to saturate. November 2012 12 M9999-110812-A Micrel Inc. MIC23155 Figure 4 illustrates an efficiency curve. From no load to 100mA, efficiency losses are dominated by quiescent current losses, gate drive and transition losses. By using the HyperLight Load mode, the MIC23155 is able to maintain high efficiency at low output currents. Over 100mA, efficiency loss is dominated by MOSFET RDSON and inductor losses. Higher input supply voltages will increase the gate-to-source threshold on the internal MOSFETs, thereby reducing the internal RDSON. This improves efficiency by reducing DC losses in the device. All but the inductor losses are inherent to the device. In which case, inductor selection becomes increasingly critical in efficiency calculations. As the inductors are reduced in size, the DC resistance (DCR) can become quite significant. The DCR losses can be calculated as in : Once in CCM mode, the TOFF time will not vary. Therefore, it is important to note that if L is large enough, the HLL transition level will not be triggered. That inductor is illustrated in Figure 3: L MAX = VOUT − 135ns Eq. 3 2 − 50mA Duty Cycle The typical maximum duty cycle of the MIC23155 is 80%. Efficiency Considerations Efficiency is defined as the amount of useful output power, divided by the amount of power supplied (see Figure 4): V ×I Efficiency % = OUT OUT VIN × IIN × 100 2 PDCR = IOUT x DCR From that, the loss in efficiency due to inductor resistance can be calculated as in Equation 6: Eq. 4 VOUT × IOUT Efficiency Loss = 1 − VOUT × IOUT + PDCR There are two types of losses in switching converters; DC losses and switching losses. DC losses are simply 2 the power dissipation of I R. Power is dissipated in the high side switch during the on cycle. Power loss is equal to the high side MOSFET RDSON multiplied by the switch current squared. During the off cycle, the low side Nchannel MOSFET conducts, also dissipating power. Device operating current also reduces efficiency. The product of the quiescent (operating) current and the supply voltage represents another DC loss. The current required driving the gates on and off at a constant 3MHz frequency and the switching transitions make up the switching losses. Efficiency loss due to DCR is minimal at light loads and gains significance as the load is increased. Inductor selection becomes a trade off between efficiency and size in this case. HyperLight Load Mode The MIC23155 uses a minimum on and off time proprietary control loop (patented by Micrel). When the output voltage falls below the regulation threshold, the error comparator begins a switching cycle that turns the PMOS on and keeps it on for the duration of the minimum-on-time. This increases the output voltage. If the output voltage is over the regulation threshold, then the error comparator turns the PMOS off for a minimumoff-time until the output drops below the threshold. The NMOS acts as an ideal rectifier that conducts when the PMOS is off. Using a NMOS switch instead of a diode allows for lower voltage drop across the switching device when it is on. The asynchronous switching combination between the PMOS and the NMOS allows the control loop to work in discontinuous mode for light load operations. In discontinuous mode, the MIC23155 works in HyperLight Load to regulate the output. As the output current increases, the off time decreases, thus provides more energy to the output. This switching scheme improves the efficiency of MIC23155 during light load currents by only switching when it is needed.

MIC23155 As the load current increases, the MIC23155 goes into continuous conduction mode (CCM) and switches at a frequency centered at 3MHz. The equation to calculate the load when the MIC23155 goes into continuous conduction mode may be approximated as illustrated in Figure 7: (V − VOUT ) × D ILOAD > IN 2L × f Eq. 7 As shown in the previous equation, the load at which the MIC23155 transitions from HyperLight Load mode to PWM mode is a function of the input voltage (VIN), output voltage (VOUT), duty cycle (D), inductance (L) and frequency (f). As shown in Figure 5, as the output current increases, the switching frequency also increases until the MIC23155 goes from HyperLight Load mode to PWM mode at approximately 180mA. The MIC23155 will switch at a relatively constant frequency around 3MHz once the output current is over 180mA.
