Internal soft-start
The SC202F is a high efficiency 500mA step-down regula-
tor that includes an integrated inductor inside the
package. The input voltage range makes it ideal for
battery operated applications with space limitations. The
SC202F operates at a fixed 3.5MHz switching frequency in
normal PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) mode. The
SC202F also includes fifteen programmable output
voltage settings that can be selected using the four
control pins, eliminating the need for external feedback
resistors. The output voltage can be fixed to a single
setting or dynamically switched between different levels.
Pulling all four control pins low disables the output.
Over-voltage protection
The SC202F provides several protection features to safe-
guard the device under stressed conditions. These
include short circuit protection, over-temperature protec-
tion, under-voltage lockout, and soft-start to control
in-rush current. These features, coupled with the small
2.5 x 3.0 x 1.0 (mm) package, make the SC202F a versatile
device ideal for step-down regulation in products needing
high efficiency and a small PCB footprint.
