DESCRIPTION
- Supports in phase or 180° out of phase synchronization
- Output voltage source and sink capability
• Robust and reliable
The SiC951 is a PMBus 1.3 compliant non-isolated
DC/DC buck regulator module with integrated MOSFETs
and inductor in a 10.6 mm x 6.5 mm x 3 mm thermally
- VIN, VOUT and temperature reporting over PMBus
- Over current protection in pulse-by-pulse mode
- Output over voltage protection
efficient package. It is capable of supplying 25
A
continuously with 30 A peak. Its output voltage is digitally
adjustable from 0.3 V to 5.5 V from a 4.5 V to 20 V input with
switching frequencies up to 1.5 MHz. The SiC951 can
- Output under voltage protection
accommodate
a
variety of applications, including
- Over temperature protection with hysteresis
- Dedicated enable pin for easy power sequencing
- Power good open drain output
computing, consumer electronics, telecom, and industrial.
SiC951 architecture delivers ultrafast transient response
with minimum output capacitance and tight regulation over
a broad load range. The device has integrated internal
compensation and is stable with any type of output
capacitor. The device incorporates a power saving scheme
that significantly increases light load efficiency.
- Remote sense amplifier with true differential voltage
sensing
- Ultrafast transient response
- Optional power saving mode
The SiC951 allows power block configuration programs to
be stored in non volatile memory (NVM). Operation
parameters such as VOUT, IOUT, over temperature etc. can all
be locally stored and used to determine fault behavior.
Operation is firmware based and is field upgradable.
APPLICATIONS
• Servers
• Networking, telecom, storage applications
• Ultrabook, notebook, desktop
• Distributed point of load power architectures
• Storage applications
The SiC951 is available in lead (Pb)-free power enhanced
MLP59-A6C package.
A full featured GUI and interface board is available to
program and facilitate development of SiC951 based
systems.
