Dual Synchronous Voltage Mode
Controller with Current Sharing Circuitry
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC1176 is a versatile 2 phase, synchronous, volt-
age mode PWM controller that may be used in two dis-
tinct ways. First, the SC1176 is ideal for applications
where point of use output power exceeds any single in-
put power budget. Alternatively, the SC1176 can be used
as a dual switcher. The SC1176 features a temperature
compensated voltage reference, over current protection
with 50% fold-back and internal level-shifted, high-side
drive circuitry.
In current sharing configuration, the SC1176 can pro-
duce a single output voltage from two separate voltage
sources (which can be different voltage levels) while
maintaining current sharing between the channels. Cur-
rent sharing is programmable to allow loading each input
supply as required by the application.
In dual switcher configuration, two feedback paths are
provided for independent control of the separate out-
puts. The device will provide a regulated output from
flexibly configured inputs (3.3V, 5V, 12V), provided 5V is
present for V
CC
. The two switchers are 180° out of phase
to minimize input and output ripple.
The SC1176A has the phases of the Master and the Slave
inverted.
It offers a different pattern for ripple cancellation and
prevents phase fold back during current limit.
The two chips are pin compatible.

(2) The soft start pin sources 25µA to an external capacitor. The converter operates in synchronous mode above the soft
start transition threshold and in asynchronous mode below it.
(3) Power good is an open collector pulled low when the output voltage is outside the ±10% window.
(4) This device is ESD sensitive. Use of standard ESD handling precautions is required.
(5) 200ns maximum at 75°.
