600kHz, 3A Step-Down
Switching Regulator
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC4519H is a current mode switching regulator with
an integrated switch, operating at 600kHz with separate
sync and enable functions. The integrated switch allows
for cost effective low power solutions (peak switch current
3 amps). The sync function allows customers to
synchronize to a faster clock in order to avoid frequency
beating in noise sensitive applications. High frequency
of operation allows for very small passive components.
Current mode operation allows for fast dynamic response
and instantaneous duty cycle adjustment as the input
varies (ideal for CPE applications where the input is a
wall plug power).
The low shutdown current makes it ideal for portable
applications where battery life is important.
The SC4519H is a 600kHz switching regulator
synchronizable to a faster frequency from 750kHz to
1.2MHz.

This pin provides power to the internal NPN switch. The minimum turn on voltage for this switch
is 2.7V.
Pin IN delivers all power required by control and power circuitry. This pin sees high di/dt during
switching. A decoupling capacitor should be attached to this pin as close as possible.
Pin SW is the emitter of the internal switch. The external freewheeling diode should be connected
as close as possible to this pin.
All voltages are measured with respect to this pin. The decoupling capacitor and the freewheeling
diode should be connected to GND as short as possible.
This is the chip enable input. The regulator is switched on if EN is high, and it is off if EN is low.
The regulator is in standby mode when EN is low, and the input supply current is reduced to a few
microamperes.
Feedback input for adjustable output controllers.
Thi s i s the output of the i nternal error ampli fi er and i nput of the peak current comparator. A
compensation network is connected to this pin to achieve the specified performance.
This is synchronous control pin used to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external pulse
control signal. When not used, it should be connected to GND.
