Product details
Overview
MIC23356YFT-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 0.6V–1.28V output at ±1.5% accuracy. It features HyperLight Load™ mode for >95% efficiency at light loads, ultra-fast transient response, and latch-off thermal/current protection-used in SSD power rails and FPGA core voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MIC23356YFT-TR datasheet, MIC23356YFT-TR pinout, MIC23356YFT-TR application, or MIC23356YFT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-configurable slew rate (100–3710 µs/V), 3.5A high-side current limit, 1.5 µA shutdown current, 16-pin 2.5 mm × 2.5 mm FTQFN package, and Power Good open-drain signaling for sequencing.
Technical Context
The MIC23356YFT-TR uses Constant-ON-Time (COT) control with adaptive HyperLight Load™ mode to maintain high efficiency across load ranges while enabling sub-100 ns switching ON-time adjustment (260 ns default). Its 8-bit DAC supports 5 mV output voltage resolution from 0.6V to 1.28V, and internal soft-start is programmable via SLEW_RATE[3:0] bits.
I²C interface operates up to 3.4 MHz (High-Speed mode), remains active during EN = LOW (if PVIN > UVLO), and retains register state across shutdown. Fault reporting includes overtemperature (165°C latch-off), overcurrent (8-cycle hiccup), and undervoltage lockout (2.225V threshold with 153 mV hysteresis).

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead 2.5 mm × 2.5 mm × 0.55 mm thin FTQFN 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 external inductor; requires short, wide trace to minimize EMI and conduction loss. |
| 2, 3, 13, 14, 15 (PGND) | Power Ground | Return path for high-side/low-side MOSFETs and input/output capacitors; must be separated from AGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| 4, 5 (PVIN) | Power Input Supply | Main input rail (2.4V–5.5V); requires local 10 µF ceramic capacitor to PGND for high-frequency decoupling. |
| 6 (SVIN) | Analog Input Supply | Bias supply for control circuitry; internally connected to PVIN via 10 Ω resistor; requires 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND. |

| 11 (VOUT) | Remote Sense / Discharge Path | Connects directly to output capacitor for accurate regulation; enables internal 10 Ω discharge path when EN = LOW. |
| 12 (AGND) | Analog Ground | Reference for feedback, reference, and I²C circuits; must tie to clean ground plane near output capacitor. |
| 17 (EP) | Exposed Thermal Pad | Internally connected to PGND; requires ≥4 thermal vias to inner ground plane for thermal dissipation. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2143GQ-Z | 3A, 2.5V–5.5V input, no I²C interface; fixed or resistor-programmed output; 12-pin QFN. | Lacks digital programmability and Power Good; suited for cost-sensitive, static-voltage designs. | Select MP2143GQ-Z only if I²C control, slew rate tuning, or PG sequencing are unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the default output voltage of the MIC23356YFT-TR at power-up?
The MIC23356YFT-TR defaults to 0.6V at power-up, as specified in the Ordering Information table for the YFT variant. This safe-start voltage allows system initialization before I²C programming to higher performance levels. The device retains its last programmed output voltage across EN toggles, provided PVIN remains above UVLO.
Does the MIC23356YFT-TR support remote voltage sensing?
Yes, the MIC23356YFT-TR supports true remote sensing via the dedicated VOUT pin, which connects directly to the load-side of the output capacitor. This compensates for IR drop in PCB traces and ensures ±1.5% regulation accuracy at the point of load-critical for FPGA and ASIC core rails where voltage margin is tight.
Can the MIC23356YFT-TR operate with input voltage below 2.4V?
No-the MIC23356YFT-TR has an absolute minimum input voltage of 2.4V per its operating ratings, and undervoltage lockout triggers at 2.225V (typical). Operation below 2.4V is not functional or characterized; attempting to operate below this risks failure to regulate or undefined behavior.
How does the MIC23356YFT-TR handle short-circuit conditions?
The MIC23356YFT-TR implements latch-off current limiting: upon detecting overcurrent, it disables switching after eight fault pulses and holds shutdown until EN is cycled. This differs from hiccup mode and prevents repeated stress on MOSFETs and inductors during sustained shorts-enhancing reliability in SSD and industrial applications.
Is the MIC23356YFT-TR pin-compatible with other members of the MIC2335x family?
Yes-the MIC23356YFT-TR shares identical pinout and footprint with the MIC23350, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs. However, register mapping and default configurations differ; firmware must be validated for full functional equivalence, especially regarding I²C address (0x5B) and CTRL register bit definitions.
