Product details
Overview
MIC23356-HAYFT-TR from Microchip Technology is a 3A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with I²C programmability, designed for low-voltage FPGA, ASIC, and SSD power rails. It operates from 2.4V–5.5V input, delivers 1.0V default output (5 mV resolution), achieves ±1.5% output accuracy over line/load/temperature, and integrates latch-off thermal and current-limit protection.
For engineers reviewing the MIC23356-HAYFT-TR datasheet, MIC23356-HAYFT-TR pinout, MIC23356-HAYFT-TR application, or MIC23356-HAYFT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-configurable slew rate (0.2–3.2 ms/V), 1.5 µA shutdown current, 100% duty cycle capability for ultra-low dropout, and compatibility with MIC23350 for drop-in migration in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MIC23356-HAYFT-TR uses Constant-On-Time (COT) control with HyperLight Load™ mode to maintain high efficiency at light loads while delivering ultra-fast transient response. Its adaptive COT architecture dynamically adjusts switching frequency based on load and input conditions, enabling stable operation across 0–3A output range without external compensation.
I²C interface (up to 3.4 MHz) provides full configuration of output voltage (0.6–1.28 V @ 5 mV steps), high-side current limit (5 A typical), enable delay (0.2–3 ms), and soft-start slew rate. Fault reporting-including thermal warning (118°C), latch-off shutdown (165°C), and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection-is communicated via dedicated registers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC23350YFT | Same pinout, 0.6 V default, 3.5 A high-side current limit, no output discharge, lower thermal shutdown threshold (150°C). | Targeted at cost-sensitive, fixed-voltage applications without I²C configuration needs or active discharge requirement. | Select when migrating legacy MIC23350 designs; verify thermal margin and disable discharge function if unused. |
| TPS628641RQYR | 3 A, 0.6–1.2 V output, 1.8–5.5 V input, 1.2 MHz fixed frequency, no I²C, 2.5 µA shutdown current, no PG or thermal latch-off. | Designed for simpler, non-sequenced point-of-load applications where configurability and fault reporting are secondary. | Choose for minimal BOM count and layout simplicity; avoid where I²C telemetry, PG sequencing, or latch-off safety is required. |
Compared with MIC23356-HAYFT-TR, MIC23350YFT offers pin compatibility but lacks I²C programmability and active discharge, while TPS628641RQYR trades configurability and fault intelligence for lower quiescent current and simpler integration-making MIC23356-HAYFT-TR optimal for systems demanding dynamic voltage control, robust fault handling, and precise sequencing.

FAQ
What is the default output voltage of the MIC23356-HAYFT-TR at power-up?
The MIC23356-HAYFT-TR powers up with a factory-programmed default output voltage of 1.0 V. This value is stored in nonvolatile configuration bits and remains active until overwritten via I²C. The device supports subsequent reprogramming to any value between 0.6 V and 1.28 V in 5 mV increments, ensuring safe startup before dynamic voltage scaling begins. The 1.0 V default aligns with common FPGA core and SSD controller requirements.
Does the MIC23356-HAYFT-TR support remote voltage sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MIC23356-HAYFT-TR supports true remote voltage sensing via the dedicated VOUT pin (Pin 11). This pin connects directly to the load side of the output capacitor to compensate for PCB trace IR drop. When enabled, the internal error amplifier regulates based on this sensed voltage-not the IC's VOUT pin voltage-ensuring ±1.5% accuracy at the point of load. Remote sensing is mandatory for applications requiring tight regulation under high-current or long-trace conditions.
Can the MIC23356-HAYFT-TR operate with an input voltage below its nominal 2.4 V minimum?
No-the MIC23356-HAYFT-TR has a hard undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold of 2.225 V (typical), with hysteresis of 153 mV. Below 2.15 V (min), the device disables switching and asserts PG low. However, it supports 100% duty cycle operation down to ~1.1 V above the programmed output voltage (e.g., 2.1 V input for 1.0 V output), enabling extended battery runtime right up to UVLO activation.
How does the MIC23356-HAYFT-TR handle short-circuit faults?
The MIC23356-HAYFT-TR detects short circuits using dual high-side and low-side current sensing. Upon exceeding the programmed high-side current limit (5 A typical for MIC23356-HAYFT-TR), it enters hiccup mode: eight current-limit pulses occur, followed by a 1 ms restart attempt. If fault persists over four thermal cycles, it latches off permanently until EN is cycled. This behavior prevents thermal damage and ensures predictable failure mode in safety-critical systems.
Is the MIC23356-HAYFT-TR pin-compatible with other devices in the MIC2335x family?
Yes-the MIC23356-HAYFT-TR shares identical 16-pin FTQFN pinout and footprint with the MIC23350 series, including MIC23350YFT. This allows direct replacement in existing layouts without PCB revision. However, functional differences exist: MIC23356-HAYFT-TR adds I²C programmability, output discharge, higher current limit (5 A vs. 3.5 A), and enhanced thermal protection (165°C latch-off vs. 150°C), requiring firmware and system-level validation during migration.
