The MIC23050-GYML is a Microchip HyperLight Load® synchronous step-down (buck) regulator that switches at 4 MHz, with a fixed 1.8 V output and 600 mA capability.
Package and thermal: 8-MLF with exposed pad
The junction is rated to 125°C, so the board-level thermal resistance (not just the package) determines the real continuous output current in a 85°C ambient. The 8-VFDFN footprint is the same — order the MLF variant for the smaller 2x2 mm body.
Lifecycle and compliance
No last-time-buy or obsolescence risk on this line; it remains qualified for new production builds. The entry confirms ROHS3 compliance, so no exemption expiry concerns for EU-market products.
