SC412A
Synchronous Buck Controller
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC412A is a versatile, constant on-time synchronous
buck, pseudo
fi
xed-frequency, PWM controller intended
for notebook computers and other battery operated
portable devices. The SC412A contains all the features
needed to provide cost-effective control of switch-mode
power outputs.
The output voltage is programmable from 0.75 to 5.25
volts using external resistors. Switching frequency is
internally preset to 325kHz. Additional features cycle-
by-cycle current limit, voltage soft-start, under-voltage
protection, programmable over-current protection, soft
shutdown, automatic power save and non-overlapping
gate drive. The SC412A also provides an enable input
and a power good output.

The constant on-time topology provides fast, dynamic
response. The excellent transient response means that
SC412A based solutions require less output capacitance
than competing
fi
xed-frequency converters. Switching
frequency is constant until a step in load or line voltage
occurs, at which time the pulse density and frequency
will increase or decrease to counter the change in
output voltage. After the transient event, the controller
frequency returns to steady state operation. At light loads,
the automatic power save mode reduces the switching
frequency for improved efficiency.

Notes:
(1) Guaranteed by design.
(2) Semtech’s SmartDriver™ FET drive
fi
rst pulls DH high with a pull-up resistance of 10Ω (typical) until LX = 1.5V (typical). At this point,
an additional pull-up device is activated, reducing the resistance to 2Ω (typical). This negates the need for an external gate or boost
resistor.
