SC457
POWER MANAGEMENT Description
The SC457 is a single phase, high performance PWM controller designed to power advanced processors. On-chip support is provided for VID on-the-fly transitions and active voltage positioning. The SC457 implements hysteretic control technology providing the fastest possible transient response while avoiding the stability issues inherent to classical PWM controllers. Eliminating the sense resistors reduces costs www.DataSheet4U.com and PCB area while increasing system efficiency. Integrated SmartDriver™ technology initially turns on the high-side driver with soft drive to reduce ringing, EMI, and capacitive turn-on of the low side MOSFET, while increasing overall efficiency. Hysteretic operation adaptively reduces the SC457 switching frequency at light loads.
