Product details
Overview
MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 from Microchip Technology is a triple-channel, 2A synchronous buck regulator IC with HyperLight Load® mode, operating from 2.7V–5.5V input and delivering adjustable outputs down to 1V. It integrates fully realized PMOS/NMOS power stages, achieves 93% peak efficiency at full load, maintains 81% efficiency at 1 mA per channel, and delivers ultra-fast transient response with <30 mVPP ripple in light-load mode - ideal for powering FPGA core rails and SSD controller domains.
For engineers reviewing the MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 datasheet, MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 pinout, MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 application, or MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated 32-pin QFN package mapping, confirmed three independent power-good indicators, real-world efficiency vs. load curves, and cross-referenced alternatives for multi-rail POL designs requiring thermal robustness up to +125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 implements a proprietary HyperLight Load® architecture combining minimum-on-time pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads and fixed 3 MHz PWM in continuous conduction mode (CCM), enabling seamless transition between high-efficiency light-load operation and stable high-current regulation. Each channel features independent enable, feedback, sense, and open-drain power-good pins with internal soft-start and thermal shutdown.
Its control loop uses a 0.62 V internal reference with external resistor-divider programming (1V–3.3V output range), supports inductors as small as 0.47 µH, and relies on separate AGND/PGND routing to isolate analog biasing from high-di/dt power paths - critical for maintaining low noise and tight load regulation across all three outputs simultaneously.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single 3.3V or 5V rail input without pre-regulation; absolute max 6V avoids need for external overvoltage clamping. |
| Output Current (per channel) | Up to 2A continuous - rated across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature with thermal derating per ambient conditions. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz nominal in CCM - enables use of sub-1 µH inductors and compact ceramic capacitors while minimizing EMI in dense PCB layouts. |
| Efficiency (Peak / Light Load) | 93% at full load; 81% at 1 mA - HyperLight Load® mode eliminates switching losses at microamp loads, extending battery runtime in always-on subsystems. |
| Output Ripple (HLL / PWM) | 30 mVPP in HyperLight Load®; 5 mV in full PWM - achieved with only 2.2 µF output capacitance, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| Quiescent Current | 23 µA per channel - enables >10-year shelf life in energy-harvesting or backup-power applications with minimal standby drain. |
| Power Good Threshold | 90% of nominal output voltage ±7% - ensures reliable sequencing and system-level fault detection without external comparators. |

Pinout & Package
32-pin 5 mm × 5 mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (ePAD), RoHS-compliant, wettable flank capable. Pin 1 marked by top-side dot; ePAD must be soldered to PGND for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW1, SW2, SW3 (Pins 26, 23, 21) | Power switch node | Direct connection to inductor high-side; carries full switching current and high di/dt - requires short, low-inductance routing away from sensitive analog traces. |
| EN1, EN2, EN3 (Pins 30, 3, 8) | Independent enable input | Logic-high active (0.8V threshold); allows staggered power-up sequencing; floating state prohibited - requires pull-down or controlled logic drive. |
| SNS1, SNS2, SNS3 (Pins 31, 4, 9) | Output voltage sense | Kelvin connection point for feedback loop; must tie directly to output capacitor anode to reject PCB IR drop and ensure regulation accuracy. |
| FB1, FB2, FB3 (Pins 32, 5, 10) | Feedback reference input | Accepts 0.62 V internal reference; sets output via resistor divider (e.g., 301 kΩ/158 kΩ for 1.8V); tolerance impacts final VOUT accuracy (±2.5%). |
| PG1, PG2, PG3 (Pins 1, 6, 12) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts high when output reaches ≥90% VNOM; requires external pull-up (≥5 kΩ) to respective VOUT for proper logic level and sequencing. |
| AGND1, AGND2, AGND3 (Pins 2, 7, 11) | Analog ground reference | Low-noise return for control circuitry; must be isolated from PGND except at single-point connection near ePAD to prevent noise coupling. |
| PVIN1, PVIN2, PVIN3 (Pins 27, 29, 14) | Power input for MOSFET stage | Supplies high-current path for internal switches; requires local 2.2 µF+ ceramic bypass to PGND to suppress switching transients. |
| AVIN1, AVIN2, AVIN3 (Pins 28, 15, 13) | Analog supply input | Feeds bias circuitry; requires RC filter (50 Ω + 100 nF to AGND) to reject PVIN noise and stabilize reference accuracy. |
| PGND1, PGND2, PGND3 (Pins 24, 22, 18) | Power ground return | High-current return for each channel's switching loop; must be routed with minimal area and connected to ePAD for thermal dissipation. |
| ePAD (Bottom) | Exposed thermal pad | Primary thermal path to PCB; must be fully soldered to solid PGND plane with ≥6 thermal vias for ≤30°C/W θJA performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent 2A buck regulators | Enables single-package power delivery for multi-voltage SoC/FPGA systems (e.g., core, I/O, auxiliary rails), eliminating three discrete converters and associated layout complexity. |
| HyperLight Load® mode | Delivers 81% efficiency at 1 mA per channel and ultra-fast transient response (<10 µs recovery) - critical for burst-mode processors and event-driven sensor nodes. |
| Three dedicated power-good outputs | Supports hardware-based power sequencing without external supervisors; each PG asserts independently, enabling fault-isolation and safe startup/shutdown coordination. |
| Fully integrated MOSFETs | Eliminates external high-side PMOS and low-side NMOS; reduces solution size to <1 mm height and removes gate-drive design burden and layout sensitivity. |
| 32-pin 5 mm × 5 mm QFN | Provides 3×2A capability in footprint smaller than dual 2A regulators; thermal pad and optimized pinout support high-density, thermally constrained embedded modules. |
| –40°C to +125°C operation | Qualified for extended temperature industrial and networking equipment; thermal shutdown at 160°C with 20°C hysteresis prevents latch-up during overload or airflow loss. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by MIC23450-AAAYML-T5?
The MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 supports an adjustable output voltage range from 1.0V to 3.3V per channel, set using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin and referenced to its internal 0.62 V precision bandgap. This range is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (DS20006479A-page 3) and applies across the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. Output voltages outside this range are not supported or guaranteed.
Does MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 require external MOSFETs?
No, the MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 integrates fully realized high-side PMOS and low-side NMOS power switches for all three channels - no external MOSFETs are required. The datasheet explicitly states "Fully Integrated MOSFET Switches" in the Features section and confirms RSW values (0.2 Ω typical) in the Electrical Characteristics table. This integration reduces solution size, simplifies layout, and eliminates gate-drive design effort.
How does the HyperLight Load® mode improve efficiency at light loads?
HyperLight Load® mode uses pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) with minimum-on-time control to reduce switching activity at light loads. The MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 achieves 81% efficiency at 1 mA per channel - significantly higher than conventional PWM regulators - by only switching when necessary to maintain regulation. This behavior is validated in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 of the datasheet, showing efficiency curves across load currents from 1 mA to 2 A.
What is the recommended minimum output capacitance for MIC23450-AAAYML-T5?
The MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 is designed to operate stably with a minimum 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor per channel, as specified in Section 5.2 of the datasheet. Using ≥4.7 µF improves transient response and further reduces output ripple, but 2.2 µF is sufficient for basic regulation and meets the 30 mVPP ripple specification in HyperLight Load® mode. X5R or X7R dielectrics are required; Y5V/Z5U are not recommended.
Can MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 be used in automotive applications?
The MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 is qualified for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and features thermal shutdown at 160°C with 20°C hysteresis - meeting key requirements for under-hood and infotainment applications. However, it is not AEC-Q200 qualified or automotive-grade screened. For production automotive use, consult Microchip's official automotive product portfolio; MIC23450-AAAYML-T5 is intended for industrial and commercial systems with equivalent thermal demands.
