Product details
Overview
MIC33263YGK-T5 from Micrel is a 4MHz synchronous buck regulator with integrated inductor and HyperLight Load® mode, delivering up to 2A output current at adjustable 0.7V–5V output voltage. It features 100% duty cycle operation, 33µA quiescent current, and operates in a compact 2.5mm × 3.0mm × 1.9mm QFN-20 package for space-constrained POL applications in portable devices and SSD systems.
For engineers reviewing the MIC33263YGK-T5 datasheet, MIC33263YGK-T5 pinout, MIC33263YGK-T5 application, or MIC33263YGK-T5 equivalent, key selection criteria include light-load efficiency (85% at 1mA), ultra-fast transient response, integrated inductor solution size (4.6mm × 7mm), and thermal performance (θJA = 50°C/W) under −40°C to +125°C junction conditions.
Technical Context
The MIC33263YGK-T5 employs a proprietary HyperLight Load® (HLL) control architecture combining minimum on/off time pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads (<120mA) and fixed 4MHz PWM in continuous conduction mode (CCM) above ~220mA. Its integrated power MOSFETs and inductor eliminate external magnetics while enabling 100% duty cycle low-dropout operation when VIN approaches VOUT.
This architecture delivers low output ripple across full load range using only a 22µF ceramic output capacitor, supports pre-bias start-up via configurable soft-start (SS pin), and integrates protection including undervoltage lockout (2.53V turn-on threshold), foldback current limit (2.5A min), thermal shutdown (160°C), and open-drain power good (PG) indicator with 90% VOUT rising threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 4MHz nominal in CCM; enables small external capacitors and high PSRR at RF-sensitive frequencies. |
| Output Current | 2A maximum continuous; sufficient for core logic rails in portable SoCs and SSD controllers. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB 5V, and 3.3V system rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 33µA typical; minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.7V ±1.5% internal reference; enables precise output regulation from 0.7V to 5V via resistor divider. |
| Efficiency | 85% at 1mA / 93% peak at 1A; maintains high conversion efficiency across full load spectrum due to HLL mode. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 50°C/W; supports 2A operation without forced airflow in standard PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin, 2.5mm × 3.0mm × 1.9mm QFN (GK), RoHS-compliant, matte tin lead finish, halogen-free mold compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN (Pins 1, 20) | Power Input Voltage | Supplies internal high-side MOSFET; requires local 2.2µF ceramic decoupling to PGND for noise suppression. |
| PGND (Pins 2, 8, 9) | Power Ground | Low-impedance return path for high-current switching loops; must be isolated from AGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| SW (Pins 3–7) | Switch Node | Internal MOSFET output connecting to integrated inductor; high dv/dt node requiring minimal trace area and no external connection. |
| VOUT (Pins 10–13) | Regulated Output | Inductor output terminal; connects directly to 22µF ceramic capacitor and load; rated for 2A DC current. |
| AGND (Pin 14) | Analog Ground | Reference ground for feedback, soft-start, and control circuitry; ties to central star ground point near CIN/COUT/PGND. |
| AVIN (Pin 15) | Analog Input Voltage | Bias supply for control circuitry; must be tied to PVIN with dedicated 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| SS (Pin 16) | Soft-Start Control | Sets ramp-up time via external capacitor (e.g., 1nF → ~575µs); prevents output overshoot and limits inrush current. |
| PG (Pin 17) | Power Good Indicator | Open-drain output asserting high when VOUT ≥ 90% of target; requires external pull-up resistor to VOUT (≥5kΩ). |
| FB (Pin 18) | Feedback Input | Compares output voltage divider ratio against 0.7V reference; sets regulated output voltage per R1/R2 equation. |
| EN (Pin 19) | Enable Input | Logic-controlled startup/shutdown; 0.8V typical turn-on threshold; must not float; pulls device into 0.1µA shutdown state when low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Inductor + MOSFETs | Eliminates external magnetics and layout sensitivity; reduces total solution size to 4.6mm × 7mm. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the MIC33263YGK-T5?
The MIC33263YGK-T5 supports up to 2A of continuous output current under specified thermal conditions (TJ ≤ +125°C, θJA = 50°C/W). Peak current limit is guaranteed at 2.5A minimum across temperature, enabling robust handling of short-duration load transients without foldback activation. Derating is required above ambient temperatures exceeding 60°C unless additional copper pour or airflow is applied.
Does the MIC33263YGK-T5 require an external inductor?
No, the MIC33263YGK-T5 does not require an external inductor-it integrates a high-efficiency power inductor within the 2.5mm × 3.0mm QFN package. This eliminates inductor selection, placement, and EMI tuning effort, reducing total solution size to just 4.6mm × 7mm. The internal inductor is optimized for 4MHz operation and rated for 2A DC current with low DCR.
How does HyperLight Load® mode improve efficiency at light loads in the MIC33263YGK-T5?
HyperLight Load® mode in the MIC33263YGK-T5 uses a proprietary minimum on/off time PFM scheme that disables switching until output voltage droops below regulation threshold. This eliminates unnecessary gate drive and switching losses, achieving 85% efficiency at 1mA output-far exceeding conventional 4MHz PWM regulators. The mode transitions seamlessly to fixed-frequency PWM above ~220mA for optimal heavy-load efficiency.
What is the purpose of the SS (Soft-Start) pin on the MIC33263YGK-T5?
The SS pin on the MIC33263YGK-T5 controls output voltage ramp rate during startup via an external capacitor. A 1nF capacitor yields ~575µs rise time, preventing output overshoot and limiting inrush current into bulk capacitance. It also enables pre-bias start-up-allowing safe activation when output already holds residual voltage-critical for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications using the MIC33263YGK-T5.
Can the MIC33263YGK-T5 operate with input voltage equal to the output voltage?
Yes, the MIC33263YGK-T5 supports 100% duty cycle operation, allowing it to maintain regulation when input voltage drops to within tens of millivolts of the programmed output voltage. In this mode, the high-side MOSFET remains continuously on, and dropout is determined solely by the MOSFET's RDS(on) and inductor DCR-making the MIC33263YGK-T5 ideal for maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems.
