The Vishay Siliconix SiC401A/B an advanced stand-alone
synchronous buck regulator featuring integrated power
MOSFETs, bootstrap switch, and a programmable LDO in a
space-saving PowerPAK MLP55-32L pin package.
The SiC401A/B is capable of operating with all ceramic
solutions and switching frequencies up to 1 MHz. The
programmable frequency, synchronous operation and
selectable power-save allow operation at high efficiency
across the full range of load current. The internal LDO may
be used to supply 5 V for the gate drive circuits or it may be
bypassed with an external 5 V for optimum efficiency and
used to drive external n-channel MOSFETs or other loads.
Additional features include cycle-by-cycle current limit,
voltage soft-start, under-voltage protection, programmable
over-current protection, soft shutdown and selectable
power-save. The Vishay Siliconix SiC401A/B also provides
an enable input and a power good output.

DESCRIPTION
Feedback input for switching regulator used to program the output voltage - connect to an external
resistor divider from V
OUT
to A
GND
.
Switcher output voltage sense pin - also the input to the internal switch-over between V
OUT
and
V
LDO
. The voltage at this pin must be less than or equal to the voltage at the V
DD
pin.
Bias supply for the IC - when using the internal LDO as a bias power supply, V
DD
is the LDO output.
When using an external power supply as the bias for the IC, the LDO output should be disabled.
Analog ground
Feedback input for the internal LDO - used to program the LDO output. Connect to an external
resistor divider from V
DD
to A
GND
.
Input supply voltage
The soft start ramp will be programmed by an internal current source charging a capacitor on this
pin.
Bootstrap pin - connect a capacitor of at least 100 nF from BST to LX to develop the floating supply
for the high-side gate drive.
No connection
LX Boost - connect to the BST capacitor.
Switching (phase) node
Power ground
Open-drain power good indicator - high impedance indicates power is good. An external pull-up
resistor is required.
Current limit sense pin - used to program the current limit by connecting a resistor from I
LIM
to LXS.
LX sense - connects to R
ILIM
Enable/power save input for the switching regulator - connect to A
GND
to disable the switching
regulator, connect to V
DD
to operate with power-save mode and float to operate in forced
continuous mode.
On-time programming input - set the on-time by connecting through a resistor to A
GND
Enable input for the LDO - connect ENL to A
GND
to disable the LDO. Drive with logic signal for logic
control, or program the V
IN
UVLO with a resistor divider between V
IN
, ENL, and A
GND
.
