Product details
Overview
MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR from Microchip Technology is a triple-channel synchronous buck regulator IC delivering three independent 2A outputs with HyperLight Load® operation, 3 MHz PWM switching, and ultra-fast transient response-designed for powering µC/FPGA core rails in high-density SSDs and servers where low output ripple (5 mVPP in full PWM) and 81% efficiency at 1 mA are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR datasheet, MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR pinout, MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR application, or MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR equivalent, key selection factors include its 26-lead 4 mm × 4 mm FQFN package, per-channel 0.1 µA shutdown current, 0.62 V feedback reference, and independent EN/PG/SNS/FB pins enabling sequenced power-up and precise voltage monitoring across all three outputs.
Technical Context
The MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR implements a proprietary HyperLight Load® architecture combining fixed on-time pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads with continuous conduction mode (CCM) PWM at ≥130 mA per channel, maintaining 93% peak efficiency while achieving <30 mVPP ripple in HLL mode. Its control loop uses internal 0.62 V reference, integrated PMOS/NMOS switches, and per-channel error comparators with UVLO (2.55 V typ), thermal shutdown (160°C), and foldback current limit (2.3 A).
Each channel features independent analog and power input domains (AVIN/PVIN), separate AGND/PGND routing requirements, and open-drain PG outputs with 90% nominal threshold and 10% hysteresis-enabling robust sequencing and fault detection without external supervision circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single 3.3 V or 5 V rail with 6 V absolute max rating on PVIN/AVIN |
| Output Current per Channel | 2 A continuous - validated across –40°C to +125°C junction range with thermal derating curves for 1–3 active channels |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz (typ) in CCM - enables use of sub-1 µH inductors (0.47 µH min) and compact 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitors |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.62 V (0.604–0.635 V) - sets output from 1 V to 3.3 V via resistor divider; stable over temperature (±0.5 mV drift from –40°C to +125°C) |
| Quiescent Current | 24 µA per channel - enables >81% efficiency at 1 mA load, critical for always-on subsystems in surveillance cameras and SSDs |
| Output Ripple | 5 mVPP in full PWM mode - achieved with 4.7 µF X5R/X7R output capacitor; no additional LC filtering required |
| Power Good Threshold | 90% of VOUT (83–96%) - open-drain PGx outputs assert after soft-start with 150 µs delay; 10% hysteresis prevents chatter |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA per channel - allows individual channel disable via ENx without affecting others; total system standby <0.3 µA |
Pinout & Package
Package: 26-lead 4 mm × 4 mm FQFN (FL) with exposed thermal pads EP1/EP2; requires separate AGND and PGND planes per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW1/SW2/SW3 (Pins 26,4,7) | Switch Node Output | Direct connection to inductor high-side; carries high di/dt PWM current-must be routed short and away from sensitive nodes |
| EN1/EN2/EN3 (Pins 21,19,15) | Enable Input | Logic-high (>0.9 V) activates channel; internal pull-down ensures safe default-off state; not floating |
| SNS1/SNS2/SNS3 (Pins 22,18,12) | Output Voltage Sense | Connected directly to VOUT near capacitor; provides regulation feedback independent of FB divider losses |
| FB1/FB2/FB3 (Pins 23,17,14) | Feedback Input | Compares divided VOUT against 0.62 V internal reference; sets output voltage per Equation 4-1 |
| PG1/PG2/PG3 (Pins 20,16,13) | Power Good Indicator | Open-drain output pulled up to VOUT; asserts high when VOUT ≥90% nominal-used for sequencing and fault reporting |
| AVIN1/AVIN2/AVIN3 (Pins 3,6,9) | Analog Supply Input | Powers control circuitry; requires RC filter + 100 nF decoupling to AGND to reject PVIN noise |
| PVIN1/PVIN2/PVIN3 (Pins 25,5,8) | Power Supply Input | Feeds internal MOSFETs; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic bypass to PGND close to pin |
| AGND (Pins EP1,24,11) | Analog Ground | Reference for FB/SNS/AVIN; must be externally tied to PGND at single point only |
| PGND (Pins EP2,10,2,1) | Power Ground | High-current return path for SW/PVIN; requires wide copper pour and short loop to minimize EMI |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-output synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP8859GQ-Z (Monolithic Power) | Triple 3 A outputs; 2.5–6 V input; 1.2 MHz switching; no HyperLight Load mode; higher IQ (45 µA/ch) | Better suited for higher-current, lower-frequency designs where PCB area is less constrained than ripple/noise | Select MP8859GQ-Z when >2 A per rail or wider input range (up to 6 V) is required; avoid if 3 MHz switching or <30 mVPP ripple is mandatory |
| TPS65270PWP (Texas Instruments) | Dual 3 A + single 2 A outputs; 4.5–18 V input; 300–2000 kHz adjustable frequency; external compensation; larger HTSSOP-28 package | Targeted at industrial motor drives and PoE-powered systems needing higher VIN and programmable frequency | Select TPS65270PWP for >5.5 V input or when design flexibility (frequency adjust, external loop compensation) outweighs size/efficiency goals |
Compared with MP8859GQ-Z and TPS65270PWP, the MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR uniquely combines 3 MHz operation, HyperLight Load® efficiency at microamp loads, and 4 mm × 4 mm footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, low-noise, battery-sensitive applications like SSDs and portable vision systems where alternatives require trade-offs in ripple, size, or light-load performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR?
The MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR supports output voltages from 1.0 V to 3.3 V per channel, set via external resistor dividers connected to FB1/FB2/FB3 pins using the internal 0.62 V reference. The upper limit is constrained by the SNS pin absolute maximum rating of +6 V and the specified output voltage range in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Does MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR require external compensation components?
No, the MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR is internally compensated and designed to be stable with inductors from 0.47 µH to 2.2 µH and 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitors. External compensation is neither required nor supported-simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
How does the HyperLight Load® mode affect efficiency at light loads?
In HyperLight Load® mode, the MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR operates in pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) with fixed on-time and variable off-time, reducing switching losses dramatically. This achieves 81% typical efficiency at 1 mA per channel-more than double the efficiency of conventional 3 MHz PWM regulators at the same load.
Can MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR support power sequencing between its three outputs?
Yes, the MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR supports hardware-based sequencing using its independent EN and PG pins: PG1 can drive EN2, and PG2 can drive EN3, enabling controlled, self-timed startup without external controllers. This is validated in Figure 2-33 of the datasheet.
What thermal derating applies when all three channels operate at 2 A simultaneously?
When all three channels deliver 2 A continuously, the MIC23451-AAAYFL-TR requires ≥1 in² copper area and forced airflow to maintain ≤125°C junction temperature. Derating curves in Figures 2-18 and 2-19 show maximum output current drops to ~1.4 A per channel at +85°C ambient with standard 2-layer PCB layout.
