SC2442/H High Performance Wide Input Range Dual Synchronous Buck Controller POWER MANAGEMENT Description Features SC2442 and SC2442H are high performance dual buck converter controllers that can be configured for a variety of synchronous buck applications where efficiency is most important. Both converters are synchronized to prevent beat frequencies. The dual buck converters are also operated out of phase reducing input ripple, allowing for fewer input capacitors. High frequency operation up to 1.1 MHz reduces the size of output inductors and capacitors. The controller has separate power pins for both VCC and GND to improve noise immunity. The VCC supplies can be regulated to 7V using an external PNP transistor. Other features include: bootstrapping for high side drive supplies, asynchronous mode start up, power up sequencing to prevent latchups, individual soft start for each convertor, bootstrapped drivers for high side N-channel MOSFETs, input side current sensing, dual mode current limit with hiccup, enable and external frequency synchronization. Applications The SC2442 operates over the range of 4.75V to 30V and SC2442H operates over the range of 4.75V to 36V.

When the SYNC/EN pin is pulled high above 1.8V, normal operation occurs. When an external clock signal is applied that is marginally higher in frequency to that set by the ROSC resistor, the internal oscillator will synchronize to this signal. The external signal should have TTL compatible transition. The undervoltage lockout circuitry monitors the AVCC pin. During undervoltage lockout all output drives are turned off and both SS pins are discharged to ground. Typically, for AVCC increasing, normal operation will not occur until AVCC reaches 4.6V. For AVCC falling, undervoltage lockout will not occur until AVCC falls below 4.5V. Voltage Regulator Operating Frequency Using an external PNP transistor as shown in the Typical Applications Circuit, the SC2442/H provide a regulated AVCC supply. The same AVCC with adequate filtering can be connected to PVCC to provide power for the output drives. The AVCC is regulated at 7V typical which provides optimum drive for most low Voltage power MOSFETs. The BDI pin will provide at least 3 mA to regulate the external PNP. The operating frequency is set by a resistor from ROSC pin to AGND. ROSC sets the clock frequency Fc that is twice the operating frequency of each converter. The clock frequency is given by Fc = Fc is in kHz and ROSC is in kOhm. For VIN voltages below 8V, the PNP pass transistor will always be operating in saturation and it is recommended to connect VIN directly to AVCC and PVCC so long as maximum input voltage is below 8V. The BDI pin may be left unconnected. Alternately if an additional supply <8V is available in addition to VIN, it can be used for separately powering both the VCCs. Current Limiting The SC2442/H provide cycle-by-cycle current limiting by sensing the current in the input line. A non inductive resistor should be used for precise current sensing and limiting. When the voltage drop across a sense resistor in the input line exceeds 105 mV, the PWM pulse is latched off and is not reset until the next clock cycle. Overcurrent condition affects only the high side driver. An RC filter should be placed across the sense resistor as shown in the Typical Application Circuit to reduce noise due to turn-on spikes. The filter capacitor should be connected between VIN and respective OCx pins for proper filtering. Typically a ceramic or similar low esr capacitor is placed between the current sense resistor and the switching circuit. If this capacitor value is large, it can significantly distort the current feedback waveform aross the sense resistors. This should be taken into account while designing the overcurrent protection circuit. Soft Start and Hiccup Mode The SC2442/H controllers utilize asynchronous start up to provide glitch free output rise times. During start up, the SS1 and SS2 pins are held low and the gate drive signals are also pulled low. Once AVCC reaches 4.6V and above, the SS capacitors are charged by a 10 A internal current source. The error amplifier outputs are clamped by the respective SSx voltages. As the SSx pin voltage goes above the oscillator valley voltage of 1.5V, the high-side driver will begin switching. The low-side driver will not begin switching until the SSx voltage has reached 3.3V. During normal operation, the SC2442/H will enter hiccup mode if the SS pin voltage is above 3.3V and the FB pin voltage is below 0.525V (70% of 0.750V). If this occurs the GDxH and GDxL signals will go low and the SS pin will begin to sink 2 A. The 2 A of sink current will slowly discharge the SS capacitor until its voltage reaches 1V, which will trigger the SS pin to begin sourcing 10 A. The convertor will operate in the asynchronous mode during hiccup. (c) 2007 Semtech Corp. 33,000 / ROSC Gate Drive Considerations The SC2442/H provide high side gate drive with bootstrapping as shown in the Typical Application Circuit. A ceramic capacitor is recommended between each BSTx pin to the corresponding Phase Node. Each gate drive can source and sink a minimum of 0.5A current with 100 nS dead time between transistions to prevent shoot throughs. 7 www.semtech.com SC2442/H POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Contd) 0.075R, 1/4W J1-1 C7 R3 100R C8 J1-3 1 7 5R 10K 13 R10 18 23 15 uF SS1 C16 0.22 uF C17 0.1 uF TP2 * QB QT 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5 1 6 5 SS2 19 OSC 20 R11 40.2K 22 VIN U1 BD I OC 1 OC 2 AVCC G D 1H P VC C G D 1L SS1 SS2 ROS C FB1 G D 2H G D 2L PH1 BS T 1 E A1 PH2 FB2 BS T 2 E A2 P G ND S YN C /E N AG ND 3.3V/0.6A L1 P1166.473T 2 VOUT1 C3 100 uF 4V 4 D1 D2 21 9 QD2 FDS6982S * 1 R6 2R 16 2 3 1 J2-2 1.8V/1A L2 P1166.223T 2 100 uF 4V R12 10 PH1 8 BST1 15 PH2 17 BST2 12 RTN C24 220K FB1 J2-3 C12 2.2 uF 2.2 uF R16 100R 1 nF R17 14K R14 C21 47 pF C18 R13 C19 4.7 nF 100K 10 nF C25 1 nF C13 24 EA1 C15 R8 3.3R 14 10K 47 pF J2-4 VOUT2 C4 QT 4 J2-1 TP3 * * * QB 11 ENA C20 C14 RTN SCH 2 C11 5 R5 2R OC2 SC2442ITSTR 3 C10 R9 R7 3.3R 6 10 nF PVCC RTN 15 uF 100R OC1 C23 TP1 7 * * * R4 10 nF C22 8 FDS6982S SCH 2.2 uF J1-2 2.2 uF 56 uF 10V C2 QD1 0.06R, 1/4W R2 2.2 uF R1 2.2 uF 4.75-6V VIN R18 34K R19 100R R15 10K EA2 FB2 Fig 1) Application Circuit for 5V to 3.3V/1.8V Low Power Dual Synchronous Buck Convertor Input 5V 3.3V Output 1.8V Output Fig 2) Input and output rise times with full load (c) 2007 Semtech Corp. 8 www.semtech.com SC2442/H POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Contd) Fig 3) Switching waveforms at Phase Node with full load.
