DESCRIPTION
The SC1630 is a DC-DC converter designed to drive an external power switch for more flexibility, especially in higher voltage and larger power applications. Typically six components are required to set up a step-up configuration easily achieving an efficiency beyond 80%. A few more components are required to set up a step down configuration delivering 4A load current with 83% typical efficiency, 86% at 2A load, and 300µA quiescent current. The output voltage can be internally set to 5V or externally set to an arbitrary value below breakdown voltage of the power switch. Logic-controlled shutdown mode is provided for power-saving.
