Features
Description
ꢀ2-Phase Step-down Controller optimized for Philips
The SC2447 is a versatile high-frequency dual phase PWM
step-down controller optimized for Philips and Renesas
DrMOSTM. Both phases are capable of sourcing or sink-
ing load currents, making the SC2447 suitable for net-
working system power and DDR applications.

ꢀOut of Phase Operation for Low Input Current Ripple
ꢀOutputs Source and Sink Current
ꢀFixed Frequency Peak Current-Mode Control
ꢀLossless Inductor DCR Current Sensing
ꢀOptional Resistor Current-Sensing for Precise Cur-
rent-Limit
The SC2447 employs fixed frequency, continuous-con-
duction peak current-mode control for easy compensa-
tion and fast transient response.
ꢀDual 30A Outputs or 2-Phase 60A Single Output
Operation
ꢀWide Input Voltage Range: 4.65V to 15V
ꢀIndividual Closed-Loop Soft-Start, Overload Shut-
down Timer and Enable
The SC2447 can be used to generate two independent
outputs (up to 30A per output) or a single 60A output
with shared phase current. The PWM signals are 180°
out of phase to minimize input/output ripple.
ꢀOutput Voltage as Low as 0.5V
ꢀStarts into Pre-Bias Output
ꢀTri-State PWM Output during Shutdown
ꢀProgrammable Frequency Up to 1MHz Per Phase
ꢀExternal Synchronization
Either inductor DC resistance or precision sense resistor
can be used for current-mode control. Inductor DC resis-
tance sensing has the advantage of being lossless.
ꢀTSSOP-28 Lead-free Package. Fully WEEE and RoHS
Compliant
Each phase has individual closed-loop soft-start and over-
load shutdown timer. The SC2447 powers up neatly with
pre-biased output. It has tri-state shutdown and hiccup
overload protection. In two-phase single-output configu-
ration, the master timer controls the soft-start and over-
load shutdown functions. The SC2447 is in a lead-free,
WEEE and RoHS compliant, TSSOP-28 package.
