MIC23030 8MHz PWM 400mA Buck Regulator with HyperLight LoadTM General Description Features The MIC23030 is a high efficiency 8MHz 400mA synchronous buck regulator with HyperLight LoadTM mode. HyperLight LoadTM provides very high efficiency at light loads and ultra-fast transient response which is perfectly suited for supplying processor core voltages. An additional benefit of this proprietary architecture is very low output ripple voltage throughout the entire load range with the use of small output capacitors. The tiny 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF(R) package saves precious board space and requires only three external components. The MIC23030 is designed for use with a very small inductor, down to 0.47H, and an output capacitor as small as 2.2 F that enables a sub-1mm height. The MIC23030 has a very low quiescent current of 21A and achieves as high as 83% efficiency at 1mA. At higher loads, the MIC23030 provides a constant switching frequency around 8MHz while achieving peak efficiencies up to 91%. The MIC23030 is available in a 6-pin 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF(R) package with an operating junction temperature range from -40C to +125C.

MIC23030 FB (Adjustable Output Only) The feedback pin (FB) allows the regulated output voltage to be set by applying an external resistor network. The internal reference voltage is 0.62V and the recommended value of R2 is 200k. The output voltage is calculated from the equation below: Functional Description VIN The input supply (VIN) provides power to the internal MOSFETs for the switch mode regulator along with the internal control circuitry. The VIN operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V so an input capacitor, with a minimum voltage rating of 6.3V, is recommended. Due to the high switching speed, a minimum 2.2F bypass capacitor placed close to VIN and the power ground (PGND) pin is required. Refer to the layout recommendations for details. R1 VOUT = 0.62V + 1 200k U1 MIC23030 VIN EN A logic high signal on the enable pin activates the output voltage of the device. A logic low signal on the enable pin deactivates the output and reduces supply current to 0.01A. MIC23030 features built-in soft-start circuitry that reduces in-rush current and prevents the output voltage from overshooting at start up.

MIC23030 in inductance. Ensure the inductor selected can handle the maximum operating current. When saturation current is specified, make sure that there is enough margin so that the peak current does not cause the inductor to saturate. Peak current can be calculated as follows: Application Information The MIC23030 is a high performance DC/DC step down regulator offering a small solution size. Supporting an output current up to 400mA inside a tiny 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF(R) package and requiring only three external components, the MIC23030 meets today's miniature portable electronic device needs. Using the HyperLight LoadTM switching scheme, the MIC23030 is able to maintain high efficiency throughout the entire load range while providing ultra-fast load transient response. The following sections provide additional device application information. 1 - VOUT /VIN I PEAK = IOUT + VOUT 2 x f x L As shown by the calculation above, the peak inductor current is inversely proportional to the switching frequency and the inductance; the lower the switching frequency or the inductance the higher the peak current. As input voltage increases, the peak current also increases. The size of the inductor depends on the requirements of the application. Refer to the Typical Application Circuit and Bill of Materials for details. DC resistance (DCR) is also important. While DCR is inversely proportional to size, DCR can represent a significant efficiency loss. Refer to the Efficiency Considerations. Input Capacitor A 2.2F ceramic capacitor or greater should be placed close to the VIN pin and PGND / GND pin for bypassing. A TDK C1608X5R0J475K, size 0603, 4.7F ceramic capacitor is recommended based upon performance, size and cost. A X5R or X7R temperature rating is recommended for the input capacitor. Y5V temperature rating capacitors, aside from losing most of their capacitance over temperature, can also become resistive at high frequencies. This reduces their ability to filter out high frequency noise. Compensation The MIC23030 is designed to be stable with a 0.47H to 2.2H inductor with a minimum of 2.2F ceramic (X5R) output capacitor. Output Capacitor The MIC23030 was designed for use with a 2.2F or greater ceramic output capacitor. Increasing the output capacitance will lower output ripple and improve load transient response but could increase solution size or cost. A low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic output capacitor such as the TDK C1608X5R0J475K, size 0603, 4.7F ceramic capacitor is recommended based upon performance, size and cost. Both the X7R or X5R temperature rating capacitors are recommended. The Y5V and Z5U temperature rating capacitors are not recommended due to their wide variation in capacitance over temperature and increased resistance at high frequencies. Duty Cycle The typical maximum duty cycle of the MIC23030 is 80%. Efficiency Considerations Efficiency is defined as the amount of useful output power, divided by the amount of power supplied. V xI Efficiency % = OUT OUT VIN x IIN Maintaining high efficiency serves two purposes. It reduces power dissipation in the power supply, reducing the need for heat sinks and thermal design considerations and it reduces consumption of current for battery powered applications. Reduced current draw from a battery increases the devices operating time and is critical in hand held devices. There are two types of losses in switching converters; DC losses and switching losses. DC losses are simply the power dissipation of I2R. Power is dissipated in the high side switch during the on cycle. Power loss is equal to the high side MOSFET RDSON multiplied by the Switch Current squared. During the off cycle, the low side Nchannel MOSFET conducts, also dissipating power. Device operating current also reduces efficiency. The product of the quiescent (operating) current and the supply voltage represents another DC loss. The current required driving the gates on and off at a constant 8MHz frequency and the switching transitions make up the switching losses. Inductor Selection When selecting an inductor, it is important to consider the following factors (not necessarily in the order of importance): * Inductance * Rated current value * Size requirements * DC resistance (DCR) The MIC23030 was designed for use with a 0.47H to 2.2H inductor. For faster transient response, a 0.47H inductor will yield the best result. For lower output ripple, a 2.2H inductor is recommended. Maximum current ratings of the inductor are generally given in two methods; permissible DC current and saturation current. Permissible DC current can be rated either for a 40C temperature rise or a 10% to 20% loss August 2008 x 100 11 M9999-082608-B Micrel Inc. MIC23030 off-time until the output drops below the threshold. The NMOS acts as an ideal rectifier that conducts when the PMOS is off. Using a NMOS switch instead of a diode allows for lower voltage drop across the switching device when it is on. The asynchronous switching combination between the PMOS and the NMOS allows the control loop to work in discontinuous mode for light load operations. In discontinuous mode, the MIC23030 works in pulse frequency modulation (PFM) to regulate the output. As the output current increases, the off-time decreases, thus provides more energy to the output. This switching scheme improves the efficiency of MIC23030 during light load currents by only switching when it is needed. As the load current increases, the MIC23030 goes into continuous conduction mode (CCM) and switches at a frequency centered at 8MHz. The equation to calculate the load when the MIC23030 goes into continuous conduction mode may be approximated by the following formula: Figure 2. Efficiency Under Load The figure above shows an efficiency curve. From no load to 100mA, efficiency losses are dominated by quiescent current losses, gate drive and transition losses. By using the HyperLight LoadTM mode, the MIC23030 is able to maintain high efficiency at low output currents. Over 100mA, efficiency loss is dominated by MOSFET RDSON and inductor losses. Higher input supply voltages will increase the Gate-to-Source threshold on the internal MOSFETs, thereby reducing the internal RDSON. This improves efficiency by reducing DC losses in the device. All but the inductor losses are inherent to the device. In which case, inductor selection becomes increasingly critical in efficiency calculations. As the inductors are reduced in size, the DC resistance (DCR) can become quite significant. The DCR losses can be calculated as follows: (V - VOUT ) x D I LOAD > IN 2L x f As shown in the previous equation, the load at which MIC23030 transitions from HyperLight LoadTM mode to PWM mode is a function of the input voltage (VIN), output voltage (VOUT), duty cycle (D), inductance (L) and frequency (f). This is illustrated in the graph below. Since the inductance range of MIC23030 is from 0.47H to 2.2H, the device may then be tailored to enter HyperLight LoadTM mode or PWM mode at a specific load current by selecting the appropriate inductance. For example, in the graph below, when the inductance is 2.2H the MIC23030 will transition into PWM mode at a load of approximately 30mA. Under the same condition, when the inductance is 0.47H, the MIC23030 will transition into PWM mode at approximately 120mA. PDCR = IOUT2 x DCR From that, the loss in efficiency due to inductor resistance can be calculated as follows: VOUT x IOUT Efficiency Loss = 1 - V OUT x IOUT + PDCR x 100 Efficiency loss due to DCR is minimal at light loads and gains significance as the load is increased. Inductor selection becomes a trade-off between efficiency and size in this case. HyperLight LoadTM Mode MIC23030 uses a minimum on and off time proprietary control loop (patented by Micrel). When the output voltage falls below the regulation threshold, the error comparator begins a switching cycle that turns the PMOS on and keeps it on for the duration of the minimum-on-time. This increases the output voltage. If the output voltage is over the regulation threshold, then the error comparator turns the PMOS off for a minimum- August 2008 Figure 3.
