Microchip Technology MIC2102YML-TR

The MIC2102YML-TR uses Microchip's Hyper Speed Control architecture to regulate a synchronous buck converter at a nominal constant frequency in continuous-conduction operation. Adaptive on-time control supports fast transient response and high step-down ratios while simplifying loop compensation.

The controller includes a 5 V regulator, high-side and low-side gate drivers, programmable frequency and current limit, enable control, power-good indication, soft-start, undervoltage lockout, thermal shutdown, and hiccup short-circuit protection.

MIC2102YML-TR is supplied in a 16-lead 3 mm × 3 mm VQFN surface-mount package with an exposed thermal pad. The product database identifies the package as 16-VFQFN Exposed Pad. The TR ordering option uses a standard tape-and-reel quantity of 5,000 pieces.

Layout checks

• Use the current Microchip 16-lead VQFN package drawing for the land pattern and pin-1 orientation.
• Connect the exposed pad to the PGND plane with suitable thermal vias.
• Keep the SW copper compact and away from FB, ILIM, and other sensitive control nodes.
• Separate AGND and PGND return paths and join them according to the reference layout.

The package registry already contains 16-VFQFN Exposed Pad, but 16-VFQFN-Exposed-Pad.jpg is currently marked as missing. Add and verify the JPEG before publishing this page.

The following mapping is for the 16-lead 3 mm × 3 mm VQFN, top view in the Microchip datasheet. The exposed pad is a separate thermal and electrical connection.

Confirm pin orientation, absolute maximum ratings, bootstrap design, gate resistance, current-sense routing, and grounding in the current Microchip datasheet before PCB layout.

Typical and limit values use specific test conditions and do not establish guaranteed system performance. Apply the complete electrical-characteristics table and design equations to the actual converter.

Microchip documents MIC2101 and MIC2102 in the same controller family and package. The control behavior at light load differs, so the related part below requires converter-level validation.

• MIC2101YML-TR: same 16-lead 3 mm × 3 mm VQFN family option with HyperLight Load operation. It enters variable-frequency discontinuous mode at light load, while MIC2102 is intended for fixed-frequency continuous-conduction operation. Recheck ripple, efficiency, EMI, transient behavior, and approved operating mode before substitution.

A common footprint does not establish full electrical interchangeability. Confirm the exact orderable code, control mode, current-limit setup, MOSFET selection, compensation and ripple injection, thermal design, and qualification requirements.

Microchip Technology publishes MIC2101/02 electrical limits, application guidance, pin descriptions, and package information in datasheet DS20005922B. Use the exact MIC2102YML-TR orderable code for procurement and traceability.

Match the full MIC2102YML-TR orderable code, package marking, reel label, lot code, and moisture-barrier packaging to traceable procurement records. Inspect the exposed-pad VQFN package and confirm storage and reflow controls before assembly.

This page supports component identification and initial selection. Final approval must use the current Microchip datasheet, package drawing, quality records, and converter validation across line, load, temperature, startup, shutdown, short circuit, and transient conditions.
