SC2677B
Dual Synchronous Voltage Mode
Controller with Current Sharing Circuitry
POWER MANAGEMENT
Features
Description
The SC2677B is a versatile 2 phase, synchronous, voltage
mode PWM controller that can be used in two distinct ways.
First, the SC2677B is ideal for applications where point of
use output power exceeds any single input power budget.
Alternatively, the SC2677B can be configured as a dual
switcher. The SC2677B features a precise temperature
compensated voltage reference, cycle-by-cycle peak cur-
rent limit, under voltage lockout over current protection,
and internal level-shifted high-side gate drive circuitry.
300kHz to 1MHz externally programmable
frequency operation
Soft Start and Enable function
Power Good output provided
Cycle-by-cycle peak current limit
Latch Off for over current protection
Phase-shifted switchers minimize ripple
High-efficiency operation, >90%
Programmable output(s) as low as 0.5V
Industrial temperature range
TSSOP-24 package
In current sharing configuration, the SC2677B can produce
a single output voltage from two separate input voltage
sources (which can be different in voltage levels) while
maintaining current sharing between the two channels.
Current sharing is programmable to allow each input sup-
ply to be loaded differently per application requirements.
TSSOP-24 EDP package
Bias voltage as low as 4.5V
Adjustable phase shift between channels
Two Phase, Current Sharing Controller
Flexible, same or separate VIN
Programmable current sharing
Thermal distribution via multi-phase output
In dual switcher configuration, two feedback paths are pro-
vided for independent control of the separate outputs. The
device will provide a regulated output from flexibly config-
ured inputs, such as 3.3V, 5V, 12V etc. The phasing be-
tween the two switchers is adjustable to minimize the input
and output ripple.
