Semtech Corporation SC1214
The SC1214 is a high speed, Combi-SenseTM, two-phase driver designed to drive high-side and low-side MOSFETs in two synchronous Buck converters. The driver combined with Combi-Sense PWM controllers, such as Semtech SC2643VX or SC2643, provides a cost effective two-phase voltage regulator for advanced microprocessors The Combi-SenseTM is a technique to sense the inductor current for peak current mode control of voltage regulator without using sensing resistor. It provides the following advantages: - No costly precision sensing resistor - Lossless current sensing - High level noise free signal - Fast response - Suitable for wide range of duty cycle The detailed explanation of the technique can be found in the Applications Information section.
