SC2463
High Performance Quad Output
Switching Regulator
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
Features
The SC2463 is a high performance controller for multi-
output converters that can be configured for a wide vari-
ety of applications. The SC2463 utilizes PWM synchro-
nous buck topologies where efficiency is most important.
It also provides two dedicated programmable positive
linear regulators using external transistors. Each of the
four outputs is adjustable down to 0.5V. The two PWM
switchers are synchronized 180° out of phase reducing
input ripple, allowing for fewer input capacitors. Power
up sequencing prevents converter latch-up.
Two synchronized converters for low noise
Power up sequencing to prevent latch-up
Out of phase operation for low input ripple
Over current protection
Wide input range, 4.5 to 30V
Programmable frequency up to 700kHz
Low shutdown current 100uA
Two synchronous bucks for high efficiency at high
current
Two programmable positive linear regulators
Output voltage as low as 0.5V
Small package TSSOP-28. This product is fully
WEEE and RoHS compliant
The SC2463 can be synchronized to other converters to
prevent beat frequencies. The wide range programmable
operating frequency allows users to optimize a converter
design. The PWM switchers sense the voltage across the
low-side MOSFETs on-resistance to efficiently provide
adjustable current-limit, eliminating costly current-sense
resistors. A POK signal is issued when soft-start is com-
plete on both PWM switchers and their outputs are within
10% of the set point.
Applications
DSL applications with multiple input voltage
requirements
Mixed-Signal applications requiring 4 positive
output voltages
Cable modem power management
Base station power management
