Product details
Overview
MIC23031-CYMT-TR from Microchip Technology is a fixed 1.0 V, 400 mA synchronous buck regulator with HyperLight Load® mode, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V input and delivering up to 93% efficiency at full load. It features 4 MHz PWM switching, 21 µA quiescent current, and ultra-low 20 mVPP output ripple in light-load mode-designed for powering processor cores in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MIC23031-CYMT-TR datasheet, MIC23031-CYMT-TR pinout, MIC23031-CYMT-TR application, or MIC23031-CYMT-TR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.0 V fixed output, 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm TDFN-6 package, –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range, HyperLight Load® transient response, and compatibility with sub-1 mm height designs using 0.47 µH inductors and 2.2 µF ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The MIC23031-CYMT-TR implements a proprietary HyperLight Load® control architecture combining minimum on/off-time PFM at light loads and fixed-frequency 4 MHz PWM above ~4–70 mA (inductor-dependent), enabling seamless mode transition without audible noise or regulation loss. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous topology uses a 0.65 Ω PMOS high-side and 0.8 Ω NMOS low-side switch, with integrated soft-start and undervoltage lockout (2.55 V typical).
It employs a dedicated SNS pin for output voltage sensing near the capacitor, separate AGND and PGND paths for noise isolation, and a logic-level EN pin with 0.9 V typical threshold and 0.01 µA shutdown current-ensuring stable core rail generation under dynamic load conditions typical of mobile SoCs and RF modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB 5 V, and regulated 3.3 V rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.0 V ±2.5% - precision core supply for low-voltage processors, FPGAs, and ASICs requiring tight DC accuracy. |
| Max Output Current | 400 mA - sufficient for mid-tier application processors, Wi-Fi/BT SoCs, and sensor hubs in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 4 MHz nominal - enables use of ultra-small 0.47 µH inductors and compact 0603/0402 ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution footprint. |
| Quiescent Current | 21 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on subsystems such as real-time clocks or wake-on-RF circuits. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA - ensures negligible drain during deep sleep or system off states, critical for multi-week standby operation. |
| Output Ripple | 20 mVPP (HyperLight Load®), 3 mV (PWM) - maintains clean power for noise-sensitive analog blocks and PLLs without large bulk capacitance. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive infotainment, industrial handhelds, and extended-temperature embedded systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm TDFN (MT) with exposed thermal pad (ePAD), rated θJA = 92.4°C/W. Pin 1 marked by dot/delta; ePAD must be soldered to PGND for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to PGND to suppress high-frequency switching noise. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Power Switch Node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node-must be routed short and away from sensitive analog traces to avoid coupling. |
| SNS (Pin 3) | Output Voltage Sense | Direct connection to VOUT near output capacitor; enables accurate regulation independent of PCB trace resistance. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable Control Input | Logic-high (>0.9 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.5 V) disables output and reduces IQ to 0.01 µA; must not float. |
| AGND (Pin 5) | Analog Ground Reference | Reference ground for internal error amplifier and feedback circuitry; connects to central star ground point, separate from PGND loop. |
| PGND (Pin 6) | Power Ground Return | High-current return path for MOSFETs and inductor; requires low-inductance connection to CIN/COUT grounds to minimize switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| HyperLight Load® Mode | Enables PFM operation below ~4–70 mA (inductor-dependent), maintaining >88% efficiency at 1 mA while delivering ultra-fast load transient response (<10 µs). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC23051-CYMT-TR | Same 1.0 V fixed output, but adds integrated soft-start timer and improved light-load efficiency (89% at 1 mA); identical 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm TDFN-6 package. | Preferred where tighter output voltage monotonicity during startup is required, e.g., FPGA configuration sequences. | Select MIC23051-CYMT-TR if soft-start timing control is critical; otherwise MIC23031-CYMT-TR offers proven cost/performance balance. |
| TPS62231DRYR | 1.0 V fixed output, 400 mA, 4 MHz, but uses different control architecture (D-CAP2); 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm DSBGA-6 package; higher IQ (25 µA typ). | Better suited for designs already using TI ecosystem tools and layout practices; slightly smaller footprint but less thermal margin (θJA ≈ 120°C/W). | Choose TPS62231DRYR when leveraging TI's WEBENCH or existing DSBGA routing; MIC23031-CYMT-TR provides superior thermal performance and lower IQ. |
Compared with MIC23051-CYMT-TR, the MIC23031-CYMT-TR lacks programmable soft-start but delivers identical regulation accuracy and ripple performance at lower BOM cost; versus TPS62231DRYR, it offers 2.4°C/W lower θJA and 4 µA lower quiescent current-critical for thermally constrained or battery-limited designs.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MIC23031-CYMT-TR?
The MIC23031-CYMT-TR has a fixed 1.0 V output with ±2.5% accuracy over temperature, line, and load conditions (VIN = 3.6 V, ILOAD = 20 mA). This specification ensures reliable core rail operation for modern low-voltage processors without requiring external trimming or calibration-making MIC23031-CYMT-TR suitable for high-volume portable device manufacturing where yield and test time matter.
Does the MIC23031-CYMT-TR require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the MIC23031-CYMT-TR is a fixed-output variant (1.0 V) and does not require external feedback resistors. Unlike adjustable versions such as MIC23031-AYMT-TR, the MIC23031-CYMT-TR integrates the voltage divider internally-simplifying design, reducing BOM count, and eliminating resistor tolerance errors. This makes MIC23031-CYMT-TR ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications where output voltage is predetermined.
What is the recommended inductor value for the MIC23031-CYMT-TR in a typical 1.0 V application?
Microchip recommends a 1.0 µH inductor for balanced performance across efficiency, transient response, and output ripple in MIC23031-CYMT-TR designs. However, the device supports 0.47 µH to 4.7 µH-selecting 0.47 µH improves transient response for burst-mode loads, while 4.7 µH lowers ripple and EMI. All values maintain stability with ≥2.2 µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitors-enabling flexible optimization of MIC23031-CYMT-TR for specific end-equipment requirements.
How does the HyperLight Load® mode affect efficiency at light loads for the MIC23031-CYMT-TR?
HyperLight Load® mode enables the MIC23031-CYMT-TR to achieve up to 88% efficiency at 1 mA output current-significantly higher than conventional PWM-only regulators. By switching to pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads, MIC23031-CYMT-TR minimizes switching losses and gate drive current, sustaining high conversion efficiency across the full 0–400 mA range without compromising transient performance or output accuracy.
Can the MIC23031-CYMT-TR be used with input voltages below 2.7 V?
No-the MIC23031-CYMT-TR has a specified minimum input voltage of 2.7 V due to its internal UVLO threshold (2.45–2.65 V). Operation below 2.7 V risks erratic regulation or complete shutdown. For sub-2.7 V inputs, consider alternative regulators such as Microchip's MIC24045 or external boost-buck architectures. Always verify VIN裕度 against worst-case battery discharge curves when designing with MIC23031-CYMT-TR.
