DESCRIPTION

The SiC47x is a family of wide input voltage, high efficiency

synchronous buck regulators with integrated high side

and low side power MOSFETs. Its power stage is capable

of supplying high continuous current at up to 2 MHz

switching frequency. This regulator produces an adjustable

output voltage down to 0.8 V from 4.5 V to 55 V input

rail to accommodate a variety of applications, including

computing, consumer electronics, telecom, and industrial.

SiC47x’s architecture allows for ultrafast transient response

with minimum output capacitance and tight ripple regulation

at very light load. The device enables loop stability

regardless of the type of output capacitor used, including

low ESR ceramic capacitors. The device also incorporates a

power saving scheme that significantly increases light load

efficiency. The regulator integrates a full protection feature

set, including over current protection (OCP), output

overvoltage protection (OVP), short circuit protection (SCP),

output undervoltage protection (UVP) and over temperature

protection (OTP). It also has UVLO for input rail and a user

programmable soft start.

The SiC47x family is available in 3 A, 5 A, 8 A, 12 A pin

compatible 5 mm by 5 mm lead (Pb)-free power enhanced

MLP55-27L package.
