DESCRIPTION
• Diode emulation mode at light loads for high efficiency
over the full load range using GLCTRL pin
The SiC840 is an integrated power stage solution optimized
for synchronous buck applications to offer high current, high
efficiency, and high power density performance. Packaged
in Vishay's 5 mm x 6 mm MLP package, SiC840, enables
voltage regulator design to deliver in excess of 80 A per
phase current.
• Low PWM propagation delay (< 20 ns)
• Current sense monitor (IMON
)
• Temperature monitor (TMON
• Over temperature alert
)
• HS MOSFET over-current and short alert
• Under voltage lockout for VDRV and BOOT
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.

The SiC840 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
overcurrent, over temperature and HS MOSFET short
failures.
