Product details
Overview
MIC23356-SAYFT-TR from Microchip Technology is a 3A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with I²C programmability, operating from 2.4V to 5.5V input and delivering 1.0V default output (configurable 0.6–3.84V), ±1.5% voltage accuracy, and 95% peak efficiency. It serves as a core power supply for FPGA, ASIC, and SSD rails requiring fast transient response and precise sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MIC23356-SAYFT-TR datasheet, MIC23356-SAYFT-TR pinout, MIC23356-SAYFT-TR application, or MIC23356-SAYFT-TR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, I²C-configurable parameters (voltage, slew rate, current limit), thermal latch-off protection, Power Good signaling, and 16-pin FTQFN package details - all confirmed from Microchip's DS20006130A.
Technical Context
The MIC23356-SAYFT-TR implements Constant-ON-Time (COT) control with HyperLight Load™ mode, enabling ultra-fast load transient response (<80 µs) and high light-load efficiency. Its adaptive COT architecture maintains near-constant switching frequency in continuous conduction mode while automatically reducing frequency under light loads.
I²C interface (up to 3.4 MHz) provides full configuration of output voltage (0.6–1.28V @ 10 mV step; 1.28–3.84V @ 20 mV step), slew rate (100–3710 µs/V), enable delay (0.25–3 ms), high-side current limit (3.5–5 A), and output discharge. Fault reporting includes latch-off thermal shutdown (165°C) and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection.

Pinout & Package
The MIC23356-SAYFT-TR is housed in a thermally efficient 16-lead 2.5 mm × 2.5 mm × 0.55 mm thin FTQFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP), rated for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature and θJA = 45°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 (SW) | Switch Node | High-current connection to internal MOSFETs; requires short, wide PCB trace to inductor. |
| 2, 3, 13, 14, 15 (PGND) | Power Ground | Low-impedance return path for power stage; must be separated from AGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| 4, 5 (PVIN) | Main Input Supply | 2.4–5.5V input source for high-side P-MOSFET; requires local ceramic decoupling. |
| 6 (SVIN) | Analog Reference Supply | Internally connected to PVIN via 10Ω; powers control circuitry and requires dedicated 1.0 µF capacitor. |
| 7 (SCL) | I²C Clock Input | Slave-mode clock input supporting up to 3.4 MHz (high-speed mode); no internal pull-up. |
| 8 (SDA) | I²C Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional data line; requires external pull-up resistor. |

| 11 (VOUT) | Remote Sense & Discharge | Connects directly to output capacitor for precision regulation; internally discharges VOUT via 10Ω when EN = GND. |
| 12 (AGND) | Analog Ground | Reference ground for feedback and control circuits; must connect to quiet ground plane near output cap. |
| 17 (EP) | Exposed Thermal Pad | Electrically tied to PGND; requires multiple thermal vias to inner ground plane for thermal management. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC23356-HAYFT | Same 16-pin FTQFN package and I²C interface; default 1.0V output but 5 mV resolution (0.6–1.28V) vs. SAYFT's 10/20 mV steps. | Preferred where finer voltage granularity is required below 1.28V, e.g., advanced FPGA core tuning. | Select HAYFT if 5 mV resolution across full 0.6–1.28V range is mandatory; SAYFT offers extended 3.84V max for auxiliary rails. |
| TPS62864DRLR | 3A buck with I²C, 2.4–5.5V input, but fixed 1.0V output (non-programmable); 0.5% accuracy vs. ±1.5%; no output discharge. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, fixed-voltage applications lacking need for dynamic voltage scaling or sequencing. | Choose TPS62864DRLR only for static 1.0V rails where I²C configurability and discharge are unnecessary. |
Compared with MIC23356-HAYFT, the MIC23356-SAYFT-TR trades 5 mV resolution below 1.28V for extended 3.84V output capability and coarser 10/20 mV steps - making it better suited for multi-rail systems needing both core and I/O voltage flexibility. Versus TPS62864DRLR, it adds full I²C programmability and safety features at higher BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the default output voltage of the MIC23356-SAYFT-TR at power-up?
The MIC23356-SAYFT-TR powers up with a default output voltage of 1.0V, as specified in Microchip's ordering information table. This value is factory-programmed and remains active until modified via the I²C interface. The MIC23356-SAYFT-TR supports subsequent reconfiguration to any value between 0.6V and 3.84V using its 8-bit DAC register, with 10 mV resolution up to 1.28V and 20 mV beyond.
Does the MIC23356-SAYFT-TR support output voltage discharge when disabled?
Yes, the MIC23356-SAYFT-TR includes an I²C-controllable output discharge feature that activates an internal 10Ω pull-down resistor between VOUT and PGND when EN is pulled low. This ensures rapid, controlled discharge of the output capacitor, preventing floating voltages and enabling safe re-enabling. The function is enabled by default in the SAYFT variant and can be toggled via the CTRL2 register.
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the MIC23356-SAYFT-TR?
The MIC23356-SAYFT-TR supports I²C communication up to 3.4 MHz in high-speed mode, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (DS20006130A, page 8). This allows rapid voltage updates and status reads without compromising system responsiveness. The device operates as an I²C slave at address 0x5B (7-bit), and the interface remains functional even when EN = GND, provided PVIN exceeds the UVLO threshold (2.225V typical).
How does the MIC23356-SAYFT-TR handle thermal overload conditions?
The MIC23356-SAYFT-TR implements latch-off thermal shutdown at 165°C (typical), with 22°C hysteresis to prevent oscillation. Once triggered, the device halts switching and holds shutdown until power cycling or reset. A thermal warning flag (118°C) is also reported via I²C status register, allowing firmware to initiate derating before critical shutdown. The MIC23356-SAYFT-TR's 2.5 mm × 2.5 mm FTQFN package with exposed thermal pad facilitates effective heat dissipation in dense layouts.
Is the MIC23356-SAYFT-TR pin-compatible with other members of the MIC2335x family?
Yes, the MIC23356-SAYFT-TR shares identical 16-pin FTQFN pinout and footprint with the MIC23350 and other MIC2335x variants, as explicitly stated in the General Description (DS20006130A, page 1). This enables drop-in replacement in existing designs - for example, upgrading from MIC23350 to MIC23356-SAYFT-TR adds I²C programmability and enhanced fault reporting without PCB revision.
