Selectable ultra-sonic power-save (SC417)
Selectable power-save (SC427)
The SC417/SC427 is a stand-alone synchronous buck
power supply. It features integrated power MOSFETs, a
bootstrap switch, and a programmable LDO in a space-
saving MLPQ-5x5mm 32-pin package. The device is highly
efficient and uses minimal PCB area. It uses pseudo-fixed
frequency adaptive on-time operation to provide fast
transient response.
The SC417/SC427 supports using standard capacitor types
such as electrolytic or special polymer, in addition to
ceramic, at switching frequencies up to 1MHz. The pro-
grammable frequency, synchronous operation, and select-
able power-save provide high efficiency operation over a
wide load range.
Internal soft-start and soft-shutdown at output
Internal reference — 1% tolerance
Over-voltage/under-voltage fault protection
Power good output
The LDO output is programmable from 0.75V to 5.25V
using external resistors. The bias voltage for the device
can be supplied by the on-chip LDO when VIN > 4.5V, or by
an external 5V supply. When a separate source is used as
the bias supply, the LDO can be programmed to provide a
different voltage.

Point of load power supplies
Additional features include cycle-by-cycle current limit,
soft-start, under and over-voltage protection, program-
mable over-current protection, soft shutdown, and select-
able power-save. The device also provides separate enable
inputs for the PWM controller and LDO as well as a power
good output for the PWM controller.
The input voltage can range from 3V to 28V. The wide
input voltage range, programmable frequency, and pro-
grammable LDO make the device extremely flexible and
easy to use in a broad range of applications. Support is
provided for single cell or multi-cell battery systems in
addition to traditional DC power supply applications.
