SiC778A
Vishay Siliconix
High Performance DrMOS – Integrated Power Stage
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
•
The SiC778 is an integrated power stage solution optimized
for synchronous buck applications offering high current, high
efficiency and high power density. Packaged in Vishay’s
proprietary 6 mm x 6 mm MLP package, SiC778 enables
voltage regulator designs to deliver in excess of 40 A per
phase current with 91 % peak efficiency.
The internal Power MOSFETs utilize Vishay’s state-of-the-art
TrenchFET Gen III technology that delivers industry
bench-mark performance by significantly reducing switching
and conduction losses.
The SiC778 incorporates an advanced MOSFET gate driver
IC that features high current driving capability, adaptive
dead-time control, an integrated bootstrap Schottky diode,
and a thermal warning (THDN) that alerts the system of
excessive junction temperature. The driver is also compatible
with a wide range of PWM controllers and supports tri-state
PWM, 3.3 V (SiC778ACD) PWM logic, and skip mode
(SMOD) to improve light load efficiency.
