SC4626

Detailed Description

The SC4626 is a synchronous step-down pulse width

modulated (PWM) voltage mode DC-DC regulator

operating at 2.5MHz fixed-frequency. The switching

frequency is chosen to minimize the size of the external

inductor and capacitors while maintaining high

efficiency.

Operation

During

normal

operation,

the

internal

high-

side PMOS device is activated on each ris-

ing edge of the internal oscillator.

The voltage

feedback loop uses an internal feedback resistor divider.

The period is set by the on board oscillator when in PWM

mode at average to high loads. The device has an internal

low-side synchronous NMOS device and does not require a

SchottkydiodeontheLXpin.Thedeviceoperatesasabuck

converter in PWM mode with a fixed frequency of 2.5MHz.

Output Voltage Selection

The SC4626 is designed for fixed output voltage. There

are some options for preset output voltage shown in

Table . If the voltage desired is not shown in the Table

, it can be programmed via an external resistor di-

vider. There will be typical uA current flowing into the

VOUT pin. The typical schematic of adjustable output

voltage option from the part with standard .0V, the

SC4626A, is shown in Figure . The C

FF is needed for

maintain the performance of the transient response. The

proper value of C

FF can be calculated by the equation

,where the V

OSTD is the standard voltage shown in Table .

To simplify the design, it is recommended to program the

desired output voltage from standard .0V as shown in

Figure with a proper C

FF calculated from the equation

shown above. For programming the output voltage from

other standard voltage, the R

FB, RFB2 and CFF need to be

adjusted to meet the equation shown above.

Protection Features

The SC4626 provides the following protection features:

Thermal Shutdown

Current Limit

Over-Voltage Protection

Soft-Start Operation

Thermal Shutdown

The device has a thermal shutdown feature to protect

the SC4626 if the junction temperature exceeds 60°C.

During thermal shutdown, the on-chip power devices

are disabled with the LX output floating. When the die

temperature drops by 0°C, the part will initiate a soft

start recovery to normal operation.

Current Limit

The internal PMOS power device in the switching stage is

protected by current limit feature. If the output is loaded

above the PMOS current limit for 32 consecutive cycles,

the SC4626 enters foldback current limit mode and the

output current is limited to the current limit holding

current (I

CL_HOLD) of a few hundred milliampere. Under

these conditions the output voltage will be the product

of I

CL_HOLD and the load resistance. The

current limit

holding current (I

CL_HOLD) will be decreased when output

voltage is increased. The load presented must fall below

the current limit holding current for the SC4626 to exit

foldback current limit mode. Figure 2 shows the typical

current limit holding current decreasing rate over differ-

ent output voltage. The SC4626 is capable of sustaining

a indefinite short circuit without damage and will resume

normal operation when the fault is removed. The fold-

back current limit mode will be disabled during the

soft-start.
