Product details
Overview
MIC23155YMT-TR from Micrel is a 3MHz synchronous buck regulator delivering up to 2A output current with HyperLight Load® mode, power good (PG) indicator, and programmable soft start. It operates from 2.7V–5.5V input, supports adjustable output down to 0.7V via external resistor divider, and achieves 94% peak efficiency in continuous conduction mode. Its 2.5mm × 2.5mm Thin DFN package enables compact power delivery for mobile processor core rails.
For engineers reviewing the MIC23155YMT-TR datasheet, MIC23155YMT-TR pinout, MIC23155YMT-TR application, or MIC23155YMT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include light-load efficiency (85% at 1mA), ultra-fast transient response, active output discharge, and compatibility with ultra-small passive components (0.47µH inductor, 2.2µF output capacitor).
Technical Context
The MIC23155YMT-TR implements a proprietary minimum-on/off-time control architecture enabling seamless transition between HyperLight Load® discontinuous mode (for high efficiency at light loads) and fixed-frequency 3MHz PWM mode (for stable regulation above ~180mA). It integrates fully matched PMOS and NMOS power switches with typical RDSON of 0.20Ω/0.19Ω.
Its feedback loop uses a precision 0.62V internal reference (±1.5% over temperature), with FB pin bias current <1nA, enabling accurate adjustable output voltage setting. The device includes thermal shutdown (160°C), current limit (~2.2A), undervoltage lockout (2.55V typ), and active discharge path through the SNS pin when disabled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion and USB-powered systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 2A - sufficient for application processors, FPGAs, and high-speed memory I/O rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 3MHz (typ) - enables use of sub-1µH inductors and reduces output ripple without large capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 22µA (typ) - minimizes battery drain in always-on subsystems like RTC or sensor hubs. |
| Efficiency @ 1mA | 85% (typ) - critical for standby power in portable devices with extended sleep cycles. |
| Power Good Threshold | 91% of VOUT (rising) - provides reliable system reset signaling with 7% hysteresis. |
| Soft Start Time | 320µs (with 470pF capacitor) - prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive infotainment and industrial edge computing environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin 2.5mm × 2.5mm Thin DFN with exposed thermal pad (ePAD), RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, halogen-free mold compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switch Node | High-frequency switching node connecting to inductor; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| EN | Enable Input | Active-high logic control; 0.5V low / 1.2V high thresholds; must not be left floating. |
| SNS | Sense / Discharge | Direct connection to output for regulation; provides active discharge path to PGND when EN = low. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Connects to resistor divider for adjustable output; 0.62V reference enables precise VOUT tuning from 0.7V. |
| PG | Power Good Output | Open-drain signal requiring external pull-up; asserts high when VOUT ≥ 91% of target. |
| SS | Soft Start Control | Capacitor-connected pin controlling ramp time; 2.7µA constant current source sets rise profile. |
| AGND | Analog Ground | Reference ground for control circuitry; must be separated from PGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| VIN | Input Supply | Dual pins (8 & 9) for low-impedance power entry; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic bypass close to PGND. |
| PGND | Power Ground | High-current return path for switch node and inductor; connects directly to ePAD for thermal performance. |
| ePAD | Thermal Pad | Exposed copper pad under package; must be soldered to solid PGND plane for θJC = 63°C/W. |

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor value supported by the MIC23155YMT-TR?
The MIC23155YMT-TR is designed to operate stably with an output capacitor as small as 2.2µF. This low requirement enables compact designs using 0603-size X5R/X7R ceramics. Larger capacitance improves load transient response and reduces output ripple but increases solution size and cost. Recommended part: Murata GRM188R60J475KE19D (4.7µF, 0603).
Does the MIC23155YMT-TR support fixed-output voltage configurations?
No - the MIC23155YMT-TR is the adjustable-output variant, requiring an external resistor divider on the FB pin to set VOUT from 0.7V upward. Fixed-output versions (e.g., MIC23155-GYMT) have internal feedback networks and different marking codes (QLG vs. QLA). Using MIC23155YMT-TR with fixed-VOUT configuration will result in incorrect regulation.
How does the MIC23155YMT-TR achieve ultra-fast transient response?
The MIC23155YMT-TR achieves ultra-fast transient response through its HyperLight Load® architecture, which uses minimum-on/off-time control to deliver energy precisely when needed. During light-load transients, it avoids fixed-frequency switching overhead and responds within microseconds. In CCM mode, the 3MHz switching frequency and low-output-impedance design further reduce recovery time to under 10µs for 1A load steps.
What is the function of the SNS pin on the MIC23155YMT-TR?
The SNS pin on the MIC23155YMT-TR serves two functions: (1) it senses the output voltage for regulation feedback in adjustable configurations, and (2) it provides an active discharge path to PGND when EN is pulled low. This dual role eliminates the need for external discharge circuitry and ensures rapid rail collapse during shutdown, critical for system-level power sequencing.
Can the MIC23155YMT-TR be used with input voltages below 2.7V?
No - the MIC23155YMT-TR has a specified minimum input voltage of 2.7V per absolute maximum and operating ratings. Below this threshold, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) disables the regulator. Attempting operation at 2.5V or lower may cause erratic behavior, failure to start, or damage due to insufficient gate drive for internal MOSFETs. Always maintain VIN ≥ 2.7V for guaranteed functionality.
