70 A VRPower®, Smart Power Stage With Current Sensing and
Temperature Monitor
(Datasheet in Brief)
FEATURES
• Thermally enhanced PowerPAK® MLP56-39L package
• Optimize MOSFET switching performance with integrated
Schottky diode in LS MOSFET
• Up to 70 A output current capability
• High frequency operation up to 2 MHz
• Power MOSFETs optimized for 12 V input stage and
10 % to 15 % duty cycle operation
• 3.3 V / 5 V PWM logic with tri-state and hold-off
• PWM minimum controllable on time of 30 ns
DESCRIPTION
• Diode emulation mode at light loads for high efficiency
The SiC832 is an integrated power stage solution optimized
over the full load range using GLCTRL pin
for synchronous buck applications to offer high current, high
efficiency, and high power density performance. Packaged
• Low PWM propagation delay (< 20 ns)
• Current sense monitor (IMON
)
in Vishay’s 5 mm x 6 mm MLP package, SiC832 enables
voltage regulator design to deliver in excess of 70 A per
phase current.
• Temperature monitor (TMON
• Over temperature alert
)
The
internal
power
MOSFETs
utilize
Vishay’s
state-of-the-art TrenchFET® Gen IV technology that delivers
industry bench mark performance to significantly reduce
switching and conduction losses.
• HS MOSFET over-current and short alert
• Under voltage lockout for VDRV and VCC
• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance

The SiC832 incorporates an advanced MOSFET gate driver
IC that features high current driving capability, adaptive
dead-time control, and integrated bootstrap switch, a
thermal monitor that alerts the system of excessive junction
temperature. This driver is also compatible with wide range
of PWM controllers with the support of both 3.3 V and 5 V
PWM logic with tri-state. Diode emulation mode can be
enabled at light loads through the use of GLCTRL signal.
The device also integrates a current monitor to provide a real
time scale down of inductor current (IMON). A temperature
monitor provides the system an indication of the power
stage internal temperature (TMON) and can be used to
throttle the system operation down to a safer level if needed.
The device also integrates fault alerts such as HS FET
over-current, over temperature and HS MOSFET short
failures.
