SC2677
Dual Synchronous Voltage Mode
Controller with Current Sharing Circuitry
POWER MANAGEMENT
Features
Description
The SC2677 is a versatile 2 phase, synchronous, volt-
age mode PWM controller that may be used in two dis-
tinct ways. First, the SC2677 is ideal for applications
where point of use output power exceeds any single in-
put power budget. Alternatively, the SC2677 can be used
as a dual switcher. The SC2677 features a temperature
compensated voltage reference, an under voltage lock-
out over current protection and internal level-shifted, high-
side drive circuitry.
300kHz to 1MHz externally programmable
frequency operation
Soft Start and Enable function
Power Good output provided
Under voltage short circuit protection
Phase-shifted switchers minimize ripple
High efficiency operation, >90%
Programmable output(s) as low as 0.5V
Industrial temperature range
TSSOP-20 package
In current sharing configuration, the SC2677 can pro-
duce a single output voltage from two separate voltage
sources (which can be different voltage levels) while
maintaining current sharing between the channels. Cur-
rent sharing is programmable to allow loading each input
supply as required by the application.
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
provided for independent control of the separate outputs.
The device will provide a regulated output from flexibly
configured inputs (3.3V, 5V, 12V), provided 5V is present
for VCC. The phasing between the two switchers is ad-
justable to minimize the input and output ripple.
