The SC4524A is a constant frequency peak current-mode
step-down switching regulator capable of producing 2A
output current from an input ranging from 3V to 28V. The
switching frequency of the SC4524A is programmable
up to 2MHz, allowing the use of small inductors and
ceramic capacitors for miniaturization, and high input/
output conversion ratio. The SC4524A is suitable for
next generation XDSL modems, high-definition TVs and
various point of load applications.
Peak current-mode PWM control employed in the
SC4524A achieves fast transient response with simple loop
compensation. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting and hiccup
overload protection reduces power dissipation during
output overload. Soft-start function reduces input start-
up current and prevents the output from overshooting
during power-up.
The SC4524A is available in SOIC-8 EDP package.

Pin Function
Emitter of the internal NPN power transistor. Connect this pin to the inductor, the freewheeling diode and the
bootstrap capacitor.
Power supply to the regulator. It is also the collector of the internal NPN power transistor. It must be closely by-
passed to the ground plane.
An external resistor from this pin to ground sets the oscillator frequency.
Ground pin
Soft-start and regulator enable pin. A capacitor from this pin to ground provides soft-start and overload hiccup
functions. Hiccup can be disabled by overcoming the internal soft-start discharging current with an external pull-
up resistor connected between the SS/EN and the IN pins. Pulling the SS/EN pin below 0.2V completely shuts off
the regulator to low current state.
The output of the internal error amplifier. The voltage at this pin controls the peak switch current. A RC compensa-
tion network at this pin stabilizes the regulator.
The inverting input of the error amplifier. If V
FB
falls below 0.8V, then the switching frequency will be reduced to
improve short-circuit robustness (see Applications Information for details).
Supply pin to the power transistor driver. Tie to an external diode-capacitor bootstrap circuit to generate drive
voltage higher than V
IN
in order to fully enhance the internal NPN power transistor.
The exposed pad serves as a thermal contact to the circuit board. It is to be soldered to the ground plane of the
