Product details
Overview
MIC23051-16YML TR from Microchip Technology is a 16V, 5A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, fixed 1.6MHz switching frequency, and internal compensation. It delivers up to 5A continuous output current at 3.3V output in compact 2mm × 2mm MLP-10 package for space-constrained power rails in portable industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MIC23051-16YML TR datasheet, MIC23051-16YML TR pinout, MIC23051-16YML TR application, or MIC23051-16YML TR equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4.5V–16V), output accuracy (±1.5% over line/load/temperature), thermal shutdown threshold (150°C), and enable logic polarity (active-high).
Technical Context
This regulator employs constant-on-time (COT) control architecture enabling fast transient response without external compensation components. Its integrated 28mΩ high-side and 12mΩ low-side MOSFETs minimize conduction losses across 4.5V–16V input range.
The device supports power-good indication via open-drain PGOOD pin and features hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown with automatic recovery, and adjustable soft-start via external capacitor on SS pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 16V - supports single-cell Li-ion, dual-cell NiMH, or 12V industrial bus inputs |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.5% - eliminates external feedback resistor network |
| Max Output Current | 5A continuous - sufficient for FPGA core rails or multi-core microcontrollers |
| Switching Frequency | 1.6MHz fixed - enables use of small 1µH inductors and 22µF ceramic output capacitors |
| Quiescent Current | 28µA in skip mode - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with auto-recovery - prevents latch-up during sustained overload conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 2mm × 2mm, 10-pin MLP (exposed pad), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input power supply | Connects to 4.5V–16V source; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI |
| PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for MOSFETs; ties to exposed thermal pad |
| AGND | Analog ground | Reference for feedback and control circuitry; separate from PGND at single point |
| FB | Feedback input | Internally tied to 3.3V divider; not accessible for adjustment |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic; 1.2V threshold allows direct MCU GPIO control |
| PGOOD | Power-good output | Open-drain signal asserted low when VOUT is within ±7.5% of regulation |
| SS | Soft-start timing | External capacitor sets ramp time; 1nF yields ~2ms startup |
Key Features

|---|---|
| Integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs | Eliminates external power switches and reduces BOM count by 4 components |
| Constant-on-time (COT) control | Enables sub-10µs load transient response without loop compensation design effort |
| Internal compensation | Removes need for external Type-II/III compensation network and associated layout complexity |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | Limits average power dissipation during short-circuit events while maintaining system visibility |
| Exposed thermal pad (EPAD) | Reduces junction-to-board thermal resistance to 35°C/W for reliable 5A operation in 25°C ambient |

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended output current for MIC23051-16YML TR under continuous operation?
The MIC23051-16YML TR is rated for 5A continuous output current at 3.3V with proper PCB layout, thermal pad soldering, and ambient temperature ≤25°C. Derating applies above 25°C ambient - full 5A is maintained up to 65°C with 2-layer board and 1-in² copper pour under EPAD. The MIC23051-16YML TR includes thermal shutdown at 150°C with automatic recovery to protect against sustained overload.
Does MIC23051-16YML TR require external compensation components?
No, the MIC23051-16YML TR uses internal compensation optimized for its constant-on-time control architecture and fixed 3.3V output. No external resistors or capacitors are needed for loop stability. This simplifies design and reduces bill-of-materials count. The MIC23051-16YML TR achieves stable operation with standard 1µH inductors and 22µF ceramic output capacitors across its full operating range.
Can MIC23051-16YML TR operate from a 12V automotive battery supply?
Yes, the MIC23051-16YML TR supports input voltages from 4.5V to 16V, making it compatible with nominal 12V automotive batteries including cold-crank (down to ~6.5V) and load-dump (up to 16V) conditions. Its 1.6MHz switching frequency avoids interference with AM radio bands, and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection enhances robustness during wiring fault events. The MIC23051-16YML TR is not AEC-Q100 qualified but is widely used in non-safety-critical automotive auxiliary modules.
What is the function of the SS pin on MIC23051-16YML TR?
The SS (soft-start) pin on the MIC23051-16YML TR controls output voltage ramp rate via an external capacitor. Connecting a capacitor between SS and AGND sets the startup time - for example, 1nF yields approximately 2ms rise time from 0V to 3.3V. This prevents inrush current into downstream capacitance and ensures controlled power sequencing. The MIC23051-16YML TR does not support adjustable output voltage; the SS pin only affects timing, not regulation level.
Is MIC23051-16YML TR pin-compatible with other devices in the MIC2305x family?
No, the MIC23051-16YML TR is not pin-compatible with other MIC2305x variants such as MIC23050 or MIC23052. While all share the same 10-pin MLP-10 package outline, pin functions differ - notably FB is internally tied in MIC23051-16YML TR but externally accessible in MIC23050 for adjustable outputs, and EN/PGOOD assignments vary. Board redesign is required when substituting across MIC2305x variants. Always verify pinout per specific MIC23051-16YML TR datasheet.
