Features
Description
Wide Input Voltage Range: 3V to 28V
3A Output Current
200kHz to 2MHz Programmable Frequency
Precision ꢀV Feedback Voltage
Peak Current-Mode Control
Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting
Hiccup Overload Protection with Frequency Foldback
Soft-Start and Enable
The SC4525E is a constant frequency peak current-mode
step-down switching regulator capable of producing 3A
output current from an input ranging from 3V to 28V. The
switching frequency of the SC4525E can be programmed
up to 2MHz for component miniaturization or it can be
set at lower frequencies to accommodate high step-down
ratios. The SC4525E is suitable for next generation XDSL
modems, high-definition TVs and various point of load
applications.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermally Enhanced 8-pin SOIC Package
Fully RoHS and WEEE Compliant
Peak current-mode PWM control employed in the
SC4525E achieves fast transient response with simple loop
compensation. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting and hiccup
overload protection reduces power dissipation during
output overload. Soft-start function reduces input start-
up current and prevents the output from overshooting
during power-up.
Applications
