600kHz/200kHz
Step-Down DC/DC Converter
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC2612 is a voltage mode switcher designed for low
cost, “point of use” voltage conversion. SC2612 is avail-
able with fixed switching frequencies of 600kHz
(SC2612A) and 200kHz (SC2612C).
The SC2612 has soft start and enable functions and is
short circuit protected. The output of the switcher may
be set anywhere between 0.8V and 75% of Vin. Short
circuit protection is disabled during start-up to allow the
output capacitors time to fully charge.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Theory of Operation
The SC2612 is a step down DC/DC controller designed
for minimum cost and size without sacrificing accuracy
and protection. Overcurrent protection is implemented
by a simple undervoltage detection scheme and is dis-
abled until soft start has been completed to eliminate
false trips due to output capacitor charging. The SS/EN
pin is held low, as are the DH and DL pins, until the
undervoltage lockout points are exceeded. Once the VCC
and BST pins both rise above their undervoltage lockout
points, the SS capacitor begins to charge, controlling the
duty cycle of the switcher, and therefore slowly ramping
up the switcher output voltage. Once the SS capacitor is
charged, the current limit circuitry is enabled. If a short
circuit is applied , the output will be pulled down below
it’s trip point and shut down. The device may be restarted
by either cycling power, or momentarily pulling SS/EN low.
Component Selection
OUTPUT INDUCTOR - A good starting point for output
filter component selection is to choose an inductor value
that will give an inductor ripple current of approximately
20% of max. output current.
Inductor ripple current is given by:-

OUTPUT CAPACITOR(S) - The output capacitors should
CAPACITOR(S)
be selected to meet output ripple and transient response
criteria. Output ripple voltage is caused by the inductor
ripple current flowing in the output capacitor’s ESR (There
is also a component due to the inductor ripple current
charging and discharging the output capacitor itself, but
this component is usually small and can often be ignored).
Given a maximum output voltage ripple requirement, ESR
is given by:-

Output voltage transient excursions are a function of load
current transient levels, input and output voltages and
inductor and capacitor values.

sient condition can be calculated from:-

values for positive and negative transients must be cal-
culated seperately and the worst case value chosen. For
Capacitor values, the calculated value should be doubled
to allow for duty cycle limitation and voltage drop issues.
