SC452 Datasheet | SEMTECH

Description The SC452 is a single chip high-performance PWM controller designed to power advanced IMVP-6™ processors. On-chip support is provided for all of the IMVP-6 requirements, including Active Voltage Positioning, Geyserville-3 VID transitions, VID-controlled Deeper Sleep voltage setting, PSI# and DPRSL control, fast/slow C4 exit, and default Boot voltage. The SC452 .. implements hysteretic control technology which provides the fastest possible transient response while avoiding the stability issues inherent to classical PWM controllers. Semtech’s proprietary bi-Sense® technology provides a loss-less current sensing scheme which is extremely robust and easy to lay out. Eliminating the sense resistors reduces costs and PCB area, plus increases system efficiency. Integrated Smart Driver™ 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 also increasing overall efficiency.

The SC452 changes from dual-phase to single-phase operation whenever PSI# asserts, providing optimal efficiency across the entire power range. A 7-bit DAC, accurate to...
