POWER MANAGEMENT  
Description  
Features  
The SC4607 is a voltage mode step down (buck) regula-  
tor controller that provides accurate high efficiency power  
conversion from an input supply range of 2.25V to 5.5V.  
The SC4607 is capable of producing an output voltage  
as low as 0.5V and has a maximum duty cycle of 97%. A  
high level of integration reduces external component  
count, and makes it suitable for low voltage applications  
where cost, size, and efficiency are critical.

BST  
This pin enables the converter to drive an N-Channel high side MOSFET. BST connects to  
the external charge pump circuit. The charge pump circuit boosts the BST pin voltage to a  
sufficient gate-to-source voltage level for driving the gate of the high side MOSFET.

VCC  
ISET  
Positive supply rail for the IC. For improved noise immunity, bypass this pin to GND with a  
0.1 to 4.7µF low ESL/ESR ceramic capacitor.  
The ISET pin is used to limit current in the high side MOSFET. The SC4607 uses the  
voltage across the Vin and ISET pins in order to set the current limit. The current limit  
threshold is set by the value of an external resistor (R3 in the Typical Application Circuit  
Diagram). Current limiting is performed by comparing the voltage drop across the sense  
resistor with the voltage drop across the drain to source resistance of the high side  
MOSFET during the MOSFET's conduction period. The voltage drop across the drain to  
source resistance of the high side MOSFET is obtained from the Vin and PHASE pins.

5
COMP  
This is the output of the voltage amplifier. The voltage at this output is inverted internally and  
connected to the non-inverting input of the PWM comparator. A lead-lag network from the  
COMP pin to the VSENSE pin compensates for the two pole LC filter characteristics  
inherent to voltage mode control. The lead-lag network is required in order to optimize the  
dynamic performance of the voltage mode control loop.  
FS/SYNC  
The FS/SYNC pin sets the PWM oscillator frequency through an external timing capacitor  
that is connected from the FS/SYNC pin to the GND pin. Sleep mode operation is invoked  
by clamping the FS/SYNC pin to a voltage below 75mV. The typical supply current during  
sleep mode is 10µA. The SC4607 can be operated in synchronous mode by inserting a  
resistor in series between the timing capacitor and GND pin. The other terminal of the  
timing capacitor will remain connected to the FS/SYNC pin.

VSENSE  
GND  
This pin is the inverting input of the voltage amplifier and serves as the output voltage  
feedback point for the Buck converter. VSENSE is compared to an internal reference value  
of 0.5V. VSENSE is hardwired to the output voltage when an output of 0.5V is desired.  
For higher output voltages, a resistor divider network is necessary (R7 and R9 in the Typical  
Application Circuit Diagram).  
Signal and power ground for the IC. All voltages are measured with respect to this pin. All  
bypass and timing capacitors connected to GND should have leads as short and direct as  
possible.

DRVL  
Gate drive pin. DRVL drives the gate of the low side (synchronous rectifier) MOSFET. The  
output driver is rated for 1A peak current. The PWM circuitry provides complementary drive  
signals to the output stages. The cross conduction of the external MOSFETs is prevented  
by monitoring the voltage on the DRVH and DRVL driver pins of the MOSFET pair in  
conjunction with a time delay optimized for FET turn-off characteristics

The PHASE pin is used to limit current in the high side MOSFET. The SC4607 uses the

then connected to the junction of the external timing  
capacitor and the added resistor as shown in Figure 1.  
The SC4607 is enabled by applying a voltage greater than  
2.25 volts to the VCC pin. The SC4607 is disabled when  
VCC falls below 1.95 volts or when sleep mode opera-  
tion is invoked by clamping the FS/SYNC pin to a voltage  
below 75mV. 10µA is the typical current drawn through  
the VCC pin during sleep mode. During the sleep mode,  
the high side and low side MOSFETs are turned off and  
the internal soft start voltage is held low.

The FS/SYNC pin is used to set the PWM oscillator fre-  
quency through an external timing capacitor that is con-  
nected from the FS/SYNC pin to the GND pin. The re-  
sulting ramp waveform on the FS/SYNC pin is a triangle  
at the PWM frequency with a peak voltage of 1.3V and a  
valley voltage of 0.3V. The PWM duty ratio is limited by  
the ramp to a maximum of 97%, which allows the boot-  
strap capacitor to be charged during each cycle. The ca-  
pacitor tolerance adds to the accuracy of the oscillator  
frequency. The approximate operating frequency and soft  
start time are both determined by the value of the exter-  
nal timing capacitor as shown in Table 1.  
Figure 1  
UVLO:  
When the FS/SYNC pin is not pulled and held below 75mV,  
the voltage on the Vcc pin determines the operation of  
the SC4607. 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 SC4607  
will initiate a soft start when Vcc exceeds 2.25V. A hys-  
teresis (100mV) in the UVLO comparator provides noise  
immunity during its start up.

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 SC4607 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 obtained from Table 1.

current protection. Because the RDS(ON) has a positive  
temperature coefficient, the 50µA current source has a  
positive coefficient of about 0.28%/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 N-  
MOSFET and the SC4607 due to the compact layout of

slew rate of the output voltage, then preventing over-  
shoot and limiting inrush current during its start up. Dur-  
ing start up of a converter with a big capacitive load, the  
load current demands large supply current. To avoid this  
an external soft start scheme can be implemented as  
shown in Figure 2. Cs can be adjusted for different appli-  
cations.  
When the converter detects an over current condition (I  
> IMAX) as shown in Figure 3, the first action the SC4607  
takes is to enter the 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 SC4607 is invoked  
and the internal soft start capacitor is discharged. This is  
like a typical soft start cycle:

Over Current Protection:  
The SC4607 detects over current conditions by sensing  
the voltage across the drain-to-source of the high side  
MOSFET. The SC4607 determines the high side MOSFET  
current level by sensing the drain-to-source conduction  
voltage across the high side MOSFET via the Vin (see the  
Typical Application Circuit on page 1) and PHASE pin dur-  
ing the high side MOSFET’s conduction period. This volt-  
age value is then compared internally to a user pro-  
grammed current limit threshold. Note that user should  
place Kelvin sensing connections directly from the high  
side MOSFET source to the PHASE pin.

The current limit threshold is programmed by the user  
based on the RDS(on) of the high side MOSFET and the  
value of the external set resistor RSET (where RSET is  
represented by R3 in the applications schematics of this  
document). The SC4607 uses an internal current source  
to pull a 50µA current from the input voltage to the ISET  
pin through external resistor RSET.

Power MOSFET Drivers:  
The current limit threshold resistor (RSET) value is calcu-  
lated using the following equation:  
The SC4607 has two drivers which are optimized for driv-  
ing external power N-Channel MOSFETs.. The driver block  
consists two 1 Amp drivers. DRVH drives the high side  
N-MOSFET (main switch), and DRVL drives the low side  
N-MOSFET (synchronous rectifier transistor).  
The output drivers also have gate drive non-overlap  
mechanism that provides a dead time between DRVH  
and DRVL transitions to avoid potential shoot through  
problems in the external MOSFETs. By using the proper  
design and the appropriate MOSFETs, the SC4607 is  
capable of driving a converter with up to 12A of output

The peak to peak inductor current is:

top MOSFET off to the bottom MOSFET on is adaptive by  
the delay from the

Ipp = ∆IIOMAX  
detecting the voltage of the phase node. t , the delay  
from the bottom MOSFET off to the top MOSFET on is  
d2  
fixed, is 40ns for the SC4607. This control scheme guar-  
antees avoidance of cross conduction or shoot through  
between the upper and lower MOSFETs and also mini-  
mizes the conduction loss in the body diode of the bot-  
tom MOSFET 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  
must be able to handle the peak inductor current IPEAK  
without saturation and produce low core loss during the  
high frequency operation is:

The power loss for the inductor includes its core loss and  
copper loss. If possible, the winding resistance should  
be minimized to reduce inductor’s copper loss. The core  
loss can be found in the manufacturer’s datasheet. The  
inductor’ copper loss can be estimated as follows:

The factors for selecting the inductor include its cost,  
efficiency, size and EMI. For a typical SC4607 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  
ripple current to be within 15% to 30% of the maximum  
output current.  
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  
SC4607 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  
that 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

Where:  
fs = the switching frequency and  
Dmax = maximum duty ratio, 0.97 for the SC4607.  
Input Capacitor Selection:  
The required minimum capacitance for boost capacitor  
will be:  
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:

CIN(RMS)  
This capacitor’s RMS loss can be a significant part of the  
total loss in the converter and reduce the overall con-  
verter efficiency. The input ripple voltage mainly depends  
on the input capacitor’s ESR and its capacitance for a  
given load, input voltage and output voltage. Assuming  
that the input current of the converter is constant, the  
required input capacitance for a given voltage ripple can  
be calculated by:  
Power MOSFET Selection:  
The SC4607 can drive an N-MOSFET at the high side  
and an N-MOSFET synchronous rectifier at the low side.  
The use of the high side N-MOSFET will significantly re-  
duce its conduction loss for high current. For the top  
MOSFET, its total power loss includes its conduction loss,  
switching loss, gate charge loss, output capacitance loss  
and the loss related to the reverse recovery of the bot-  
tom diode, shown as follows:

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.

QGT = the total gate charge of the top MOSFET,  
QOSS = the output charge of the top MOSFET and  
Qrr = the reverse recovery charge of the bottom diode.  
Boost Capacitor Selection:  
The boost capacitor selection is based on its discharge  
ripple voltage, worst case conduction time and boost  
current. The worst case conduction time Tw can be esti-  
mated as follows:  
For the top MOSFET, it experiences high current and high  
voltage overlap during each on/off transition. But for the

For a low voltage and high output current application such  
as the 3.3V/1.5V@12A case, the conduction loss is of-  
ten dominant and selecting low RDS(ON) MOSFETs will no-  
ticeably improve the efficiency of the converter even  
though they give higher switching losses.

The gate charge loss portion of the top/bottom MOSFET’s

charge loss is based on certain operating conditions (fs,

Loop Compensation Design:  
The compensation network will have the characteristic  
as follows:  
For a DC/DC converter, it is usually required that the  
converter has a loop gain of a high cross-over frequency  
for fast load response, high DC and low frequency gain  
for low steady state error, and enough phase margin for  
its operating stability. Often one can not have all these  
properties at the same time. The purpose of the loop  
compensation is to arrange the poles and zeros of the  
compensation network to meet the requirements for a  
specific application.

Layout Guidelines:

=
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.  
ωP1

Where:  
GPWM = PWM gain  
VM = 1.0V, ramp peak to valley voltage of SC4607  
The design guidelines for the SC4607 applications are  
as following:  
3. The Vcc bypass capacitor should be placed next to  
the Vcc and GND pins.  
1. Set the loop gain crossover corner frequency ω C  
for given switching corner frequency ωS = 2πfs,  
2. Place an integrator at the origin to increase DC  
and low frequency gains.  
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.  
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 compensator  
pole ωP1 (ωP1 = ωESR = 1/( RCC4)).  
5. Place a high frequency compensator pole ωp2 (ωp2  
= πfs) to get the maximum attenuation of the switch-  
ing ripple and high frequency noise with the adequate  
phase lag at ωC.  
5. Minimize the traces between DRVH/DRVL 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.  
7. ISET and PHASE connections to the top MOSFET for  
current sensing must use Kelvin connections.  
8. Maximize the trace width of the loop connecting the  
inductor, bottom MOSFET and the output capacitors.  
The compensated loop gain will be as given in Figure 6:  
9. Connect the ground of the feedback divider and the  
compensation components directly to the GND pin  
of the SC4607 by using a separate ground trace.  
Then connect this pin to the ground of the output  
capacitor as close as possible
