Product details
Overview
MIC23155-GYMT-TR from Micrel is a 3MHz, 2A synchronous buck regulator with HyperLight Load® mode, power good output, and programmable soft start-designed for core voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics. It delivers fixed 1.8V output, achieves 94% peak efficiency at 2A, maintains ultra-low 22µA quiescent current, and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the MIC23155-GYMT-TR datasheet, MIC23155-GYMT-TR pinout, MIC23155-GYMT-TR application, or MIC23155-GYMT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include light-load efficiency (85% @ 1mA), 3MHz PWM switching in CCM, active output discharge, and compatibility with 0.47µH inductors and 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MIC23155-GYMT-TR implements a proprietary HyperLight Load® control architecture that alternates between discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light loads and continuous conduction mode (CCM) above ~180mA, enabling both ultra-fast transient response and high efficiency across the full 0–2A load range. Its internal fully-integrated PMOS/NMOS synchronous switches eliminate external diode losses.
It features a 0.62V internal reference with ±2.5% output voltage accuracy (1.8V fixed), programmable soft-start via external capacitor (e.g., 470pF yields ~320µs ramp), and open-drain power good (PG) output with 91% rising threshold and 68µs delay-enabling precise system power sequencing and fault monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and 3.3V/5V rail inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V - factory-trimmed for processor core or memory I/O supply with ±2.5% accuracy over temp and line. |
| Max Output Current | 2A - sustained delivery with thermal shutdown protection at 160°C and 20°C hysteresis. |
| Switching Frequency | 3MHz - enables use of sub-1µH inductors and compact 2.2µF–4.7µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 22µA - minimizes battery drain in standby, enabling >1000-hour runtime in always-on IoT sensors. |
| Power Good Threshold | 91% of VOUT (1.64V) - provides reliable enable/disable signaling for downstream logic and sequencers. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01µA - ensures near-zero leakage during deep sleep or system off states. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin 2.5mm × 2.5mm Thin DFN with exposed ePAD (connected to PGND), RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, halogen-free mold compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch Node | High-speed connection to inductor; carries pulsed 2A current and requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| 2 EN | Enable Input | Active-high logic control (1.2V min high, 0.5V max low); must not float-requires pull-down or host MCU drive. |
| 3 SNS | Output Sense / Discharge | Direct feedback path for regulation; internally discharges VOUT when EN = low via 165Ω NMOS. |
| 4 NC | No Connect | Not bonded-must remain unconnected per datasheet; no routing or copper fill required. |
| 5 PG | Power Good Output | Open-drain indicator requiring external pull-up (>5kΩ to VOUT); asserts high when VOUT ≥ 1.64V. |
| 6 SS | Soft-Start Control | Accepts external capacitor (e.g., 470pF) to set monotonic 320µs VOUT ramp and prevent inrush overshoot. |
| 7 AGND | Analog Ground | Reference return for FB/SNS/SS/PG circuits; must be isolated from PGND until single-point tie at ePAD. |
| 8,9 VIN | Input Supply | Dual pins reduce IR drop and thermal resistance; require local 2.2µF+ ceramic bypass to PGND. |
| 10 PGND | Power Ground | High-current return for SW and internal MOSFETs; connects directly to ePAD for optimal thermal dissipation. |
| ePAD | Exposed Thermal Pad | Electrically and thermally tied to PGND; mandatory for thermal performance (θJC = 63°C/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| HyperLight Load® Mode | Proprietary DCM control delivering 85% efficiency at 1mA and ultra-fast load transients (<10µs recovery) without external compensation. |
| Integrated Power MOSFETs | Low RDS(ON) (0.20Ω PMOS / 0.19Ω NMOS) eliminates external FETs and gate drivers-reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Active Output Discharge | Internal 165Ω NMOS pulls VOUT to ground within microseconds of EN deactivation-preventing floating rails and ensuring safe power-down sequencing. |
| Programmable Soft Start | External capacitor sets precise VOUT ramp time (e.g., 470pF → 320µs), eliminating need for external timers or RC networks. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes thermal shutdown (160°C), cycle-by-cycle current limit (2.2–3.3A), undervoltage lockout (2.55V typ), and ESD-hardened I/O (HBM 1.5kΩ/100pF). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3MHz, 3A, 2.7–6V input, adjustable only; no fixed 1.8V option; 17µA IQ; no active discharge. | Requires external resistor divider; lacks integrated discharge path-needs external MOSFET for safe power-down. | Choose when higher current headroom (3A) or wider input range (6V) is needed; accept added BOM and layout complexity. |
| RT8059ZSP | 2.5MHz, 2A, 2.5–5.5V input, fixed 1.8V option; 30µA IQ; includes active discharge; no PG output. | Missing power good signal-requires external supervisor IC for sequencing; slightly lower switching frequency limits min inductor size. | Choose when PG is not required and active discharge is critical; verify thermal performance with θJA = 100°C/W vs. MIC23155-GYMT-TR's 90°C/W. |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and RT8059ZSP, the MIC23155-GYMT-TR uniquely combines fixed 1.8V output, integrated power good, active discharge, and HyperLight Load® efficiency down to 1mA-all in a 2.5mm × 2.5mm footprint-making it optimal for space- and battery-life-sensitive portable applications where minimal external components are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the MIC23155-GYMT-TR?
The MIC23155-GYMT-TR is a fixed-output buck regulator delivering 1.8V with ±2.5% accuracy over temperature and line conditions. This value is factory-trimmed and does not require external feedback resistors-unlike the adjustable MIC23155YMT variant which uses the FB pin and a resistor divider.
Does the MIC23155-GYMT-TR include power good functionality?
Yes, the MIC23155-GYMT-TR features an open-drain power good (PG) output on Pin 5. It asserts high when the output voltage reaches 91% of nominal (1.64V for 1.8V output) with 68µs delay and 7% hysteresis, providing reliable sequencing and fault indication for downstream systems.
What is the minimum inductor value supported by the MIC23155-GYMT-TR?
The MIC23155-GYMT-TR is designed to operate with inductors as small as 0.47µH. Using this value optimizes transient response, while larger values (up to 2.2µH) reduce output ripple-enabling flexible trade-offs between dynamic performance and noise in compact layouts.
How does the MIC23155-GYMT-TR achieve high efficiency at light loads?
The MIC23155-GYMT-TR uses Micrel's proprietary HyperLight Load® mode-a discontinuous conduction control scheme that pulses only when needed. This reduces switching losses dramatically, achieving 85% efficiency at 1mA while maintaining ultra-fast transient recovery-critical for burst-mode portable workloads.
Is the MIC23155-GYMT-TR compatible with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 4.7µF?
Yes-the MIC23155-GYMT-TR is explicitly characterized for use with ceramic output capacitors as small as 2.2µF. Its low output ripple and stable regulation with small caps stem from integrated MOSFETs, HyperLight Load® control, and optimized loop compensation-enabling total solution heights under 1mm.
