Chapter 1. Product Overview

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides an overview of the MIC23356 Evaluation Board and covers the

following topics:

•MIC23356 Short Overview

•What is the MIC23356 Evaluation Board?

•Contents of the MIC23356 Evaluation Board Kit

1.2 MIC23356 SHORT OVERVIEW

The MIC23356 device is a compact I2C programmable, high-efficiency, 3A continuous

current, synchronous step-down regulator. The Constant-ON-Time (COT) control

architecture with HyperLight Load™ (HLL) provides very high efficiency at light loads,

while still having ultra-fast transient response. The user can program, via the I2C

interface, various parameters, such as: output voltage, ON-time, soft start slope,

high-side current limit, HLL or Forced PWM mode of operation. The 2.4V to 5.5V input

voltage range, low shutdown and quiescent currents make the MIC23356 ideal for

single-cell, Li-Ion, battery-powered applications.

An open-drain Power Good (PG) output is provided to indicate when the output voltage

is within 9% of regulation and facilitates output voltage monitoring and sequencing.

When set in Shutdown mode (EN = GND), the current consumption of MIC23356 is

reduced to 1.5 µA (typical).

The MIC23356 is available in a thermally-efficient, 16-Lead 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.55 mm thin

MLF package, with an operating junction temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

More detailed information regarding the capabilities of the MIC23356 are available in

the data sheet.

2.3 GETTING STARTED

The MIC23356 Evaluation Board is fully assembled and tested to evaluate and

demonstrate the MIC23356 product. This board requires the use of external lab

supplies and a PC. The MIC23356 is offered in four different product options, depend-

ing on the default settings at power-up, prior to any I2C write operation. The differences

among the various product options are described in the MIC23356 data sheet. The

Evaluation Board carries the -YFT option, whose default output voltage is 0.6V. All the

device options may be fitted on the board, as is.

2.3.1 Power Input and Output Connection

2.3.1.1 POWERING THE MIC23356 EVALUATION BOARD

When the board is ready for evaluation, apply positive input voltage to the VIN terminal

and the corresponding return to the GND-IN terminal. The maximum input voltage

should not exceed 5.5V. An electronic load or resistive load can be used for evaluation.

Some electronic loads can sink the programmed current starting from very low output

voltage levels during start-up. For a more realistic start-up behavior evaluation, a

resistive load or constant resistance is recommended. Connect the positive voltage

terminal of the load to the VOUT terminal on the evaluation board and connect the

negative or return side of the load to the GND-OUT terminal. If changing the regulator

parameters is required or simply to monitor the part, make sure to connect the

Micro-USB cable between the Evaluation Board and the PC. Then, install the GUI

according to Chapter 3. “GUI Installation and Operation” and follow the indications

in Chapter 2. “Installation and Operation” for more extensive evaluation.

Installation and Operation

2.3.1.2 BOARD POWER-UP PROCEDURE

For the power-up procedure, follow the steps below:

1. Connect the PC, input supply, voltmeter, ammeter and load as shown in

Figure 2-2. Set the ammeter on a 10A range.

2. Fit a jumper on the EN position across the J6 header, as marked on the silk-

screen.

3. Once the input voltage is greater than 2.35V at the board input (VIN), the device

begins to switch.

4. The Voltmeter should now indicate an output voltage according to the preset

to vary more than a few mV over the operating range of the converter.

5. Set the input voltage and the load to the desired values, with a maximum of 5.5V

on the input voltage and a maximum load of 3A.

6. Adjust the regulator output and monitor the STATUS registers, as described in

Chapter 4. “GUI Description”.

7. Optionally, for more advanced readings, place Oscilloscope probe 1 in “SW” test

point to monitor the switching waveforms and probe 2 on the output header

(close to the output capacitors) to measure the AC ripple of the output voltage.

FIGURE 2-2: MIC23356 Evaluation Board Test Setup.

Note: The inductance associated with long wires on the board input may cause

voltage spikes at load stepping or start-up into heavy load. If the spikes

exceed the 5.5V maximum input voltage rating, the MIC23356 may fail.

This can be prevented by populating a 470 µF Electrolytic Capacitor on C8

footprint.

FIGURE 2-5: Efficiency vs. IOUT at 0.6V.

2.3.1.4 LOOP GAIN MEASUREMENT

The MIC23356 Evaluation Board provides injection points and a termination resistor

(R12) for AC loop gain measurements. If needed, the value of R12 can be changed to

optimize the injection signal level. Inject the oscillator at J9 through the insulation trans-

former (i.e., across resistor R12).

2.3.1.5 I2C PULL-UP VOLTAGE SELECTION

The MIC23356 Evaluation Board is equipped with a jumper for selecting the I2C pull-up

supply voltage. The J8 header can be used to select the I2C pull-up voltage to either

VUSB or VIN. If a different pull-up voltage is desired, it can be injected into the PWR pin

of J2. In this case, make sure that no jumper is installed on header J8, to prevent short-

ing of the externally injected pull-up voltage to either VUSB or VIN.

2.3.1.6 USING THE MIC23356 EVALUATION BOARD WITH THE EXTERNAL I2C

MASTER

In order to use the MIC23356 with an external I2C master (like a microcontroller,

microprocessor or another I2C master), the on-board MCP2221 must be disabled. To

accomplish this, the pull-down resistor R10 must be populated to avoid any interfer-

ence between the MCP2221 and the external I2C master. Then, the desired I2C master

can be connected to J2. If the external I2C master already provides pull-up resistors for

the SDA and SCL lines, then the I2C pull-up resistors R6 and R9, present on the

MIC23356 Evaluation Board, are not needed and must be removed to prevent pull-up

voltage conflicts.

2.3.1.7 STARTING THE MIC23356 WITH A CUSTOM OUTPUT VOLTAGE

To power-up the MIC23356 with a custom output voltage, the MIC23356 Evaluation

Board must be first powered-up with the MIC23356 disabled (either by placing the EN

jumper on the J6 header, SDN position, or applying a Logic ‘0’ voltage on the EN test

point). Program it via I2C interface to the desired output voltage and then start it by plac-

ing the EN jumper on J6, EN position (or by applying a Logic ‘1’ voltage on the EN test

point). The MIC23356 does not retain the set voltage and returns to the default config-

uration after a power cycle.

2.3.1.8 MIC23356 EVALUATION BOARD ENABLE OPTIONS

In order to enable the MIC23356 on the Evaluation Board, three options are provided:

1. The EN jumper placed on the J6 header – by placing a jumper on the EN position

as described by the silkscreen and by having EN_INT of register CTRL1

(address 0x00) set to ‘1’, the MIC23356 is enabled. By placing a jumper on the

SDN position, the MIC23356 is disabled. The MIC23356 Evaluation Board fea-

tures a pull-down resistor R3 connected to the EN pin, so, by default, without any

jumper connected, the regulator will be disabled.

2. Software controlled – by clearing EN_INT (bit 1) of register CTRL1 (address

0x00), the MIC23356 status is controlled by EN_CON (bit 0) of the CTRL1 reg-

ister and the EN pin status is ignored. By setting the EN_CON bit, the MIC23356

is enabled and by clearing the EN_CON bit, the MIC23356 is disabled.

3. MCP2221 GPIO control – by checking “Enable GP0 Control” in the I2CMonitor

GUI, the EN pin is controlled by the GP0 output of the MCP2221 and by using

the “GP0 active” button, the MIC23356 is enabled or disabled.

2.3.1.9 PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

For the best performance with the minimum occupied board space, some proper layout

techniques should be applied. First, the input and output capacitors should be placed

as close to the MIC23356 as possible and on the same layer as the IC. This will ensure

low ripple and lower switching noise. Then, vias must be used under the MIC23356,

from its exposed pad to the GND plane, in order to improve heat dissipation. Lastly, the

switching node (from the SW pin of the MIC23356 to the inductor) should be as small

as possible to decrease EMI emission.

2.3.1.10 BENCH TESTING AT HIGH CURRENTS

When testing the MIC23356 device at high-load currents or when checking the over-

current protection behavior, it may be necessary to remove the series ammeter shown

in Figure 2-2 or to replace it with a very low-value shunt resistor. This is because the

internal resistance of many Digital Multimeters (DMMs) used for current measurements

is generally too high.

2.3.1.11 THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS

The MIC23356 Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance JA, as measured on the

Evaluation Board, is approximately +45°C/W. Depending on the loading conditions,

ambient temperature, and device settings, the junction temperature might exceed the

rated operating limit of +125°C due to internal power dissipation. Continuous operation

above the maximum operating limits stated in the data sheet should be avoided.

Note: When using MCP2221 GPIO control, remove any low-impedance connec-

tion between the EN pin and VIN or GND (e.g., a jumper on the J6 header),

as this may cause undefined behavior.

device.

GUI Description

 2018 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002834A-page 26

The MIC23356 I2C Diagnostic area resumes the information contained in the STATUS

bits are set when the corresponding Fault condition occurs and do not return to zero

once the Fault condition ceases. If such a fault occurs, the user can clear the faults by

toggling the enable function or power cycling the device. Status bits are set when the

corresponding Fault condition has occurred, and return to zero automatically once the

Fault condition has ceased. This information is refreshed once every two seconds.

Because of this refresh traffic, when using a logic analyzer it is more difficult to

synchronize the exact moment of a certain command. In order to simplify this, an

auxiliary trigger signal is provided on pin GP2 of the MCP2221. This signal is triggered

for each user Read/Write command.

TABLE 4-5: STATUS BAR ITEMS

Item Description

Status Label The status label shows if there is any device connected to the board. Refer to

Tab l e 4 -6 for a list of possible labels.

Progress Bar This bar shows the level of completion for a given command.
