Product details
Overview
MIC4930YFL-TR from Microchip Technology is a 3A synchronous buck regulator with Hyper Speed Control® architecture, designed for processor core and I/O voltage regulation from 2.7V–5.5V input buses. It delivers up to 95% efficiency at 3.3 MHz switching frequency, supports safe start-up into pre-biased outputs, and features a 0.625V feedback reference with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature.
For engineers reviewing the MIC4930YFL-TR datasheet, MIC4930YFL-TR pinout, MIC4930YFL-TR application, or MIC4930YFL-TR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and electrical specifications, and real-world design constraints for high-frequency DC/DC conversion in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MIC4930YFL-TR implements a proprietary ripple-based adaptive constant-on-time control loop with three internal timers (min ON, max ON, min OFF), enabling near-constant frequency operation at light loads and smooth transition to ON-time modulation under high duty cycles. Regulation occurs at the valley of the FB ripple waveform in low-duty mode and at the peak in high-duty mode.
It integrates matched P-channel (30 mΩ) and N-channel (25 mΩ) MOSFETs, supports 1 μH inductors and 10 μF ceramic output capacitors without external ripple injection, and includes dedicated AVIN/AGND rails for analog reference stability-separate from high-current PVIN/PGND paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct regulation from standard 3.3V and 5V system rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 3A continuous - sufficient for mid-tier processor cores and FPGA I/O banks in DTVs and set-top boxes. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 3.3 MHz - enables use of sub-2.2 μH inductors and <10 μF output capacitance while maintaining low output ripple. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.625V ±1.5% - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 0.7V–5.5V programmable VOUT with precision line/load regulation. |
| Junction Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature consumer applications including printers and DVD players. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 μA - allows ultra-low-power standby states in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Power Good Threshold | 88% of nominal VOUT (±7% hysteresis) - provides reliable power sequencing signal for downstream logic and processors. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin 3 mm × 4 mm DFN (Flip Chip), exposed pad (EP) for thermal dissipation. Thermal resistance θJA = 35°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, EP | PGND | High-current power ground return path for SW node; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane with short, wide traces. |
| 3, 8 | PVIN | Main power input for internal MOSFETs; requires ≥10 μF ceramic capacitor to PGND for high-frequency decoupling. |
| 4 | AVIN | Analog supply rail for error amplifier and reference; must be decoupled with 1 μF ceramic cap to AGND, isolated from PVIN noise. |
| 5 | AGND | Analog ground reference; connects to quiet ground plane and ties to PGND at single point to avoid noise coupling. |
| 6 | FB | Feedback input referenced to 0.625V internal reference; accepts resistive divider to program VOUT; sensitive to ripple injection. |
| 7 | PG | Open-drain Power Good output; requires external pull-up to VOUT or ≤VIN; asserts high when VOUT ≥88% of target. |
| 9 | EN | Logic-enable input; threshold 0.5–1.2V; drives device into 0.01 μA shutdown state when pulled low; must not float. |
| 10 | SW | Switch node output connecting to inductor; carries high di/dt current; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hyper Speed Control® topology | Adaptive constant-on-time control with seamless mode transition ensures stable regulation across 0–3A load and 2.7–5.5V input without external compensation. |

| Ultra-fast transient response | Sub-20 μs recovery from 1.5A–3A load steps with <200 mV undershoot/overshoot using 10 μF ceramic output capacitor. |
| Integrated low-RDS(ON) MOSFETs | 30 mΩ high-side + 25 mΩ low-side switches reduce conduction losses and eliminate external FET selection complexity. |
| Thermal & current protection | Internal thermal shutdown at 150°C (20°C hysteresis) and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (3.5–8A range) prevent damage during fault conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC4950YFL | 5A rated output current; identical pinout and package; higher RDS(ON) (35/30 mΩ) and lower peak efficiency (93%) at 3A. | Better suited for future-proofing or designs requiring >3A headroom; same PCB layout but higher thermal mass required. | Select MIC4950YFL only if sustained >3.5A load or long-term derating margin is needed; otherwise MIC4930YFL-TR offers optimal size/performance balance. |
| TPS54331DR | 3A output, 28V max input, fixed 500kHz frequency, external compensation required; no pre-bias start-up support. | Targeted at wider-input industrial supplies; lacks integrated PG and safe-start capability critical for consumer electronics sequencing. | Choose TPS54331DR for cost-sensitive 12V-input systems where layout flexibility and external compensation are acceptable trade-offs. |
Compared with MIC4950YFL and TPS54331DR, the MIC4930YFL-TR uniquely combines 3.3 MHz operation, pre-biased start-up, and integrated PG in a 3×4 mm DFN-making it the most space- and sequence-efficient choice for 3.3V/5V-fed consumer digital video platforms.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor value for stable operation of the MIC4930YFL-TR?
The MIC4930YFL-TR is designed for stable operation with a minimum 10 μF ceramic output capacitor. Using X5R or X7R dielectrics is recommended to maintain effective capacitance under DC bias. Smaller values may compromise load transient response and increase output voltage ripple beyond specification limits, especially at full 3A load and 3.3 MHz switching.
Does the MIC4930YFL-TR support power sequencing into a pre-charged output bus?
Yes, the MIC4930YFL-TR explicitly supports safe start-up into a pre-biased output-a key feature for multi-rail systems where downstream circuitry retains residual voltage. This capability is implemented via internal circuitry that prevents reverse current flow and ensures controlled soft-start even when VOUT > 0V at EN assertion.
What is the function of the AVIN and AGND pins on the MIC4930YFL-TR, and why are they separate from PVIN and PGND?
The AVIN and AGND pins supply and reference the internal analog circuitry-including the error amplifier, reference generator, and feedback comparator-while PVIN and PGND handle high-current switching paths. Separation prevents switching noise from degrading regulation accuracy and enables precise 0.625V feedback reference stability across temperature and load.
Can the MIC4930YFL-TR operate reliably at its maximum 3.3 MHz switching frequency across the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range?
Yes, the MIC4930YFL-TR maintains switching frequency within 1.2–3.6 MHz across –40°C to +125°C, as verified in Figure 2-14 of the datasheet. At 125°C, typical frequency remains ≥3.0 MHz under 1.8V/3A conditions, ensuring consistent small-component sizing and predictable EMI behavior in thermally demanding environments.
How does the MIC4930YFL-TR achieve ultra-fast transient response without external compensation components?
The MIC4930YFL-TR achieves ultra-fast transient response through its proprietary Hyper Speed Control® ripple-based control loop, which uses internal timing circuits and adaptive on/off time modulation. This eliminates the need for external compensation networks while maintaining stability across 0–3A load steps and 2.7–5.5V input variations-verified in Figures 2-27 and 2-28.
