MICREL MIC23155YMT

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 ultra
fast 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 MLF® 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 2.2 µF 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 MLF® package with an operating junction temperature
range from –40°C to +125°C.

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 layout recommendations for
details.
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.
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
milliseconds is 270x103 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 the following
equation:
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.

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 the 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.
The transition between Continuous Conduction Code
(CCM) to HyperLight Load® mode is determined by the
inductor ripple current and the load current.
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
MLF® 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.
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)
The diagram shows the signals for High Side switch
Drive (HSD) for Ton control, the Inductor current, and
the Low Side 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.
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:
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. Peak current can be calculated as follows:

⎠
There are two types of losses in switching converters;
DC losses and switching losses. DC losses are simply
the power dissipation of I2R. 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.
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. 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

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 4, 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.
The figure above shows 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
follows:
PDCR = IOUT2 x DCR
From that, the loss in efficiency due to inductor
resistance can be calculated as follows:
