Description
Features
The SC4603 is a voltage mode step down (buck) regula-
tor controller that provides accurate high efficiency power
conversion from input supply range 2.25V to 5.5V. A high
level of integration reduces external component count
and makes it suitable for low voltage applications where
cost, size and efficiency are critical.

The SC4603 drives external complementary power
MOSFETs; P-channel on the high side and N-channel on
the low side. The use of high side P-channel MOSFETs
eliminates the need for an external charge pump and
simplifies the high side gate driver. Non-overlap protec-
tion is provided for the gate drive signals to prevent shoot
through of the MOSFET pair. The voltage drop across the
P-channel MOSFET during its conduction is sensed for
lossless short circuit current limiting.
Applications
Distributed power architecture
Servers/workstations
A low power sleep mode can be achieved by forcing the
SYNC/SLEEP pin below 0.8V. A synchronous mode of op-
eration is activated as the SYNC/SLEEP pin is driven by
an external clock. The quiescent supply current in sleep
mode is typically lower than 10µA. A 1.7ms soft start is
internally provided to prevent output voltage overshoot
during start-up. A 100% maximum duty cycle allows the
SC4603 to operate as a low dropout regulator in the
event of a low battery condition.

Pulling and holding the SYNC/SLEEP pin below 0.8V ini-
tializes the SLEEP mode of the SC4603 with its typical
SLEEP mode supply current of 10uA. During the SLEEP
mode, the high side and low side MOSFETs are turned
off and the internal soft start voltage is held low.
An external clock connected to the SYNC/SLEEP acti-
vates its synchronous mode and the frequency of the
clock can be up to 1MHz.
Oscillator
UVLO
The oscillator uses an external resistor to set the oscilla-
tion frequency when the SYNC/SLEEP pin is pulled and
held above 2V. The ramp waveform is a triangle at the
PWM frequency with a peak voltage of 1.25V and a val-
ley voltage of 0.25V. A 100% maximum duty cycle allows
the SC4603 to operate as a low dropout regulator in the
event of a low battery condition. The resistor tolerance
adds to the accuracy of the oscillator frequency. The ex-
ternal resistor connected to the FS pin, as shown below
determines the approximate operating frequency:
When the SYNC/SLEEP pin is pulled and held above 2V,
the voltage on the VCC pin determines the operation of
the SC4603. As VCC increases during start up, the UVLO
block senses VCC and keeps the high side and low side
MOSFETs off and the internal soft start voltage low until
VCC reaches 2.25V. If no faults are present, the SC4603
will initiate a soft start when VCC exceeds 2.25V. A
hysteresis (100mV) in the UVLO comparator provides
noise immunity during its start up.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Information - (Cont.)
Soft Start
IMAX and the internal 50µA pull down current available on
the ISET pin based on the following expression:
The soft start function is required for step down control-
lers to prevent excess inrush current through the DC bus
during start up. Generally this can be done by sourcing a
controlled current into a timing capacitor and then using
the voltage across this capacitor to slowly ramp up the
error amp reference. The closed loop creates narrow
width driver pulses while the output voltage is low and
allows these pulses to increase to their steady state duty
cycle as the output voltage reaches its regulated value.
With this, the inrush current from the input side is con-
trolled. The duration of the soft start in the SC4603 is
controlled by an internal timing circuit which is used dur-
ing start up and over current to set the hiccup time. The
soft start time can be calculated by:
IMAX • RDS(ON)
RSET
=
50µA
Kelvin sensing connections should be used at the drain
and source of P-MOSFET.
The RDS(ON) sensing used in the SC4603 has an addi-
tional feature that enhances the performance of the over
current protection. Because the RDS(ON) has a positive
temperature coefficient, the 50µA current source has a
positive coefficient of about 0.3%/C° providing first or-
der correction for current sensing vs temperature. This
compensation depends on the high amount of thermal
transferring that typically exists between the high side P-
MOSFET and the SC4603 due to the compact layout of
the power supply.

TSOFT _START
fS
When the converter detects an over current condition
(I > IMAX) as shown in Figure 1, the first action the SC4603
takes is to enter cycle by cycle protection mode (Point B
to Point C), which responds to minor over current cases.
Then the output voltage is monitored. If the over current
and low output voltage (set at 70% of nominal output
voltage) occur at the same time, the Hiccup mode op-
eration (Point C to Point D) of the SC4603 is invoked
and the internal soft start capacitor is discharged. This is
like a typical soft start cycle.
As can be seen here, the soft start time is switching
frequency dependant. For example, if fs = 600kHz,

START = 1020/1M = 1.02ms.
START
The SC4603 implements its soft start by ramping up the
error amplifier reference voltage providing a controlled
slew rate of the output voltage, then preventing over-
shoot and limiting inrush current during its start up.
Over Current Protection
A
Over current protection for the SC4603 is implemented
by detecting the voltage drop of the high side P-MOSFET
during conduction, also known as high side RDS(ON) detec-
tion. This loss-less detection eliminates the sense resis-
tor and its loss. The overall efficiency is improved and
the number of components and cost of the converter
are reduced. RDS(ON) sensing is by default inaccurate and
is mainly used to protect the power supply during a fault
case. The over current trigger point will vary from unit to
unit as the RDS(ON) of P-MOSFET varies. Even for the same
unit, the over current trigger point will vary as the junc-
tion temperature of P-MOSFET varies. The SC4603 pro-
vides a built-in 50µA current source, which is combined
with RSET (connected between VCC and ISET) to determine
the current limit threshold. The value of RSET can be prop-
erly selected according to the desired current limit point

ripple current to be within 15% to 30% of the maximum
output current.
The inductor value can be determined according to its
operating point and the switching frequency as follows:
The SC4603 has two drivers for external complemen-
tary power MOSFETs. The driver block consists of one
high side P-MOSFET driver, PDRV, and one low side N-
MOSFET driver, NDRV, which are optimized for driving
external power MOSFETs in a synchronous buck con-
verter. The output drivers also have gate drive non-over-
lap mechanism that gives a dead time between PDRV
and NDRV transitions to avoid potential shoot through
problems in the external MOSFETs. By using the proper
design and the appropriate MOSFETs, a 6A converter can
be achieved. As shown in Figure 2, td1, the delay from
the P-MOSFET off to the N-MOSFET on is adaptive by
detecting the voltage of the phase node. td2, the delay
from the N-MOSFET off to the P-MOSFET on is fixed, is
50ns for the SC4603. This control scheme guarantees
avoiding the cross conduction or shoot through between
two MOSFETs and minimizes the conduction loss in the
bottom diode for high efficiency applications.

After the required inductor value is selected, the proper
selection of the core material is based on the peak in-
ductor current and efficiency requirements. The core

ILRMS is the RMS current in the inductor. This current can

Inductor Selection
The factors for selecting the inductor include its cost,
efficiency, size and EMI. For a typical SC4603 applica-
tion, the inductor selection is mainly based on its value,
saturation current and DC resistance. Increasing the in-
ductor value will decrease the ripple level of the output
voltage while the output transient response will be de-
graded. Low value inductors offer small size and fast tran-
sient responses while they cause large ripple currents,
poor efficiencies and more output capacitance to smooth
out the large ripple currents. The inductor should be able
to handle the peak current without saturating and its
copper resistance in the winding should be as low as
possible to minimize its resistive power loss. A good trade-
off among its size, loss and cost is to set the inductor

Output Capacitor Selection
Basically there are two major factors to consider in se-
lecting the type and quantity of the output capacitors.
The first one is the required ESR (Equivalent Series Re-
sistance) which should be low enough to reduce the volt-
age deviation from its nominal one during its load changes.
The second one is the required capacitance, which should
be high enough to hold up the output voltage. Before the
SC4603 regulates the inductor current to a new value

during a load transient, the output capacitor delivers all
the additional current needed by the load. The ESR and
ESL of the output capacitor, the loop parasitic inductance
between the output capacitor and the load combined
with inductor ripple current are all major contributors to
the output voltage ripple. Surface mount speciality poly-
mer aluminum electrolytic chip capacitors in UE series
from Panasonic provide low ESR and reduce the total
capacitance required for a fast transient response.
POSCAP from Sanyo is a solid electrolytic chip capacitor
which has a low ESR and good performance for high fre-
quency with a low profile and high capacitance. Above
mentioned capacitors are recommended to use in
SC4603 applications.
Because the input capacitor is exposed to the large surge
current, attention is needed for the input capacitor. If
tantalum capacitors are used at the input side of the
converter, one needs to ensure that the RMS and surge
ratings are not exceeded. For generic tantalum capaci-
tors, it is wise to derate their voltage ratings at a ratio of
2 to protect these input capacitors.
Power MOSFET Selection
The SC4603 can drive a P-MOSFET at the high side and
an N-MOSFET synchronous rectifier at the low side. The
use of the high side P-MOSFET eliminates the need for
an external charge pump and simplifies the high side gate
driver circuit.
Input Capacitor Selection
For the top MOSFET, its total power loss includes its con-
duction loss, switching loss, gate charge loss, output ca-
pacitance loss and the loss related to the reverse
recovery of the bottom diode, shown as follows:
The input capacitor selection is based on its ripple cur-
rent level, required capacitance and voltage rating. This
capacitor must be able to provide the ripple current by
the switching actions. For the continuous conduction
mode, the RMS value of the input capacitor can be cal-
culated from:

QGS2 = the gate to source charge of the top MOSFET,

QOSS = the output charge of the top MOSFET, and
Qrr = the reverse recovery charge of the bottom diode.
This current gives the capacitor’s power loss as follows:
PCIN = I2
RCIN(ESR)
CIN(RMS)
This capacitor’s RMS loss can be a significant part of the
total loss in the converter and reduce the overall
converter efficiency. The input ripple voltage mainly de-
pends on the input capacitor’s ESR and its capacitance
for a given load, input voltage and output voltage. As-
suming that the input current of the converter is con-
stant, the required input capacitance for a given voltage
ripple can be calculated by:
For the top MOSFET, it experiences high current and high
voltage overlap during each on/off transition. But for the
bottom MOSFET, its switching voltage is the bottom
diode’s forward drop during its on/off transition. So the
switching loss for the bottom MOSFET is negligible. Its
total power loss can be determined by:

For a low voltage and high output current application such
as the 3.3V/1.5V@6A case, the conduction loss is often
dominant and selecting low RDS(ON) MOSFETs will notice-
ably improve the efficiency of the converter even though
they give higher switching losses.

The gate charge loss portion of the top/bottom MOSFET’s
total power loss is derived from the SC4603. This gate
charge loss is based on certain operating conditions

In order to achieve optimal electrical, thermal and noise
performance for high frequency converters, special at-
tention must be paid to the PCB layouts. The goal of lay-
out optimization is to identify the high di/dt loops and
minimize them. The following guideline should be used to
ensure proper functions of the converters.

1. A ground plane is recommended to minimize noises
and copper losses, and maximize heat dissipation.
2. Start the PCB layout by placing the power compo-
nents first. Arrange the power circuit to achieve a
clean power flow route. Put all the connections on
one side of the PCB with wide copper filled areas if
possible.
3. The VCC bypass capacitor should be placed next to
the VCC and GND pins.
4. The trace connecting the feedback resistors to the
output should be short, direct and far away from the
noise sources such as switching node and switching
components.
5. Minimize the traces between PDRV/NDRV and the
gates of the MOSFETs to reduce their impedance to
drive the MOSFETs.
6. Minimize the loop including input capacitors, top/bot-
tom MOSFETs. This loop passes high di/dt current.
Make sure the trace width is wide enough to reduce
copper losses in this loop.
VM = 1.0V, ramp peak to valley voltage of SC4603.
The design guidelines for the SC4603 applications are
as following:
1. Set the loop gain crossover corner frequency
ωC for given switching corner frequency
ωS =2 πfs,
2. Place an integrator at the origin to increase DC
and low frequency gains.
3. Select ωZ1 and ωZ2 such that they are placed
near ωO to damp the peaking and the loop gain
has a -20dB/dec rate to go across the 0dB
line for obtaining a wide bandwidth.
4. Cancel the zero from C4’s ESR by a compensa-
tor pole ωP1 (ωP1 = ωESR = 1/( RCC4)),
5. Place a high frequency compensator pole ωp2
(ωp2 = πpfs) to get the maximum attenuation of
the switching ripple and high frequency noise
with the adequate phase lag at ωC.
7. ISET and PHASE connections to P-MOSFET for cur-
rent sensing must use Kelvin connections.

8. Maximize the trace width of the loop connecting the
inductor, bottom MOSFET and the output capacitors.
9. Connect the ground of the feedback divider and the
compensation components directly to the GND pin
of the SC4603 by using a separate ground trace.
Then connect this pin to the ground of the output
capacitor as close as possible.
