SC4502/SC4502H
1.4Amp, 2MHz Step-Up Switching
Regulator with Soft-Start
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC4502/SC4502H is a high-frequency current-mode
step-up switching regulator with an integrated 1.4A
power transistor. Its high switching frequency (program-
mable up to 2MHz) allows the use of tiny surface-mount
external passive components. Programmable soft-start
eliminates high inrush current during start-up. The inter-
nal switch is rated at 32V (40V for the SC4502H) mak-
ing the converter suitable for high voltage applications
such as Boost, SEPIC and Flyback.
The operating frequency of the SC4502/SC4502H can
be set with an external resistor. The ability to set the
operating frequency gives the SC4502/SC4502H design
flexibilities. A dedicated COMP pin allows optimization of
the loop response. The SC4502/SC4502H is available
in thermally enhanced 10-pin MLPD package.
Features
Low saturation voltage switch: 210mV
(250mV for the SC4502H)
Constant switching frequency current-mode control
Programmable switching frequency up to 2MHz
Soft-Start function
Input voltage ranges from 1.4V to 16V
Output voltage up to 32V (40V for the SC4502H)

package. This product is fully WEEE and RoHS
compliant.

Pin Function
The output of the internal transconductance error amplifier. This pin is used for loop compensation.
The inverting input of the error amplifier. Tie to an external resistive divider to set the output voltage.
Shutdown Pin. The accurate 1.1V shutdown threshold and the 4.6uA shutdown pin current
hysteresis allow the user to set the undervoltage lockout threshold and hysteresis for the switching
regulator. Pulling this pin below 0.1V causes the converter to shut down to low quiescent current.
Tie this pin to IN if the UVLO and the shutdown features are not used. This pin should not be left
floating.
Ground. Tie both pins to the ground plane. Pins 4 and 5 are not internally connected.
Collector of the internal power transistor. Connect to the boost inductor and the rectifying diode.
Power Supply Pin. Bypassed with capacitors close to the pin.
A resistor from this pin to the ground sets the switching frequency.
Soft-Start Pin. A capacitor from this pin to the ground lengthens the start-up time and reduces start-
up current.
The exposed pad must be soldered to the ground plane on the PCB for good thermal conduction.
