SC453

Portable, VID Programmed Single Phase Power Supply Controller POWER MANAGEMENT Description The SC453 IC is a single chip high-performance Hysteretic PWM controller. With its integrated SmartDriver™, it powers advanced graphics and core processors. It provides sleep mode and boot voltage support. Automatic "powersave" is present to prevent negative current flow in the low-side FET during light loading conditions saving even more power. The high side driver initially turns on with a weak drive to reduce ringing, EMI, and capacitive turn-on of the low side. A 6-bit DAC, accurate to 0.85%, sets the output voltage reference, and implements the 0.700V to 1.708V range required by the processor. The hysteretic converter uses a comparator without an error amplifier, and therefore provides the fastest possible transient response, while avoiding the stability issues inherent to classical PWM controllers. The DAC is externally slew rate limited to minimize transient currents and audible noise. The SC453 operates from 5VDC and also features softstart, an open-drain PWRGD signal with power good blanking, and an enable input. Programmable current limiting shuts down the SC453 after 32 current limit pulses.
