Description
The SC173 is an integrated, synchronous 3A EcoSpeedTM
step-down regulator, which incorporates Semtechâs
advanced, patented adaptive on-time architecture to
achieve best-in-class performance in dynamic point-of-
load applications. The input voltage range is 3V to 5.5V
with a programmable output voltage from 0.75V up to
95% x VIN. The device features low-RDS(ON) internal switch-
es and optional PSAVE mode for high efficiency across
the output load range.
Adaptive on-time control provides programmable pseu-
do-fixed frequency operation and excellent transient
performance. The switching frequency can be set from
200kHz to 1MHz - allowing the designer to reduce exter-
nal LC filtering and minimize light load (standby) losses.
Disabling PSAVE operation reduces output voltage ripple
at light load for ceramic output capacitors.
Additional features include cycle-by-cycle current limit,
soft start, input UVLO and output OV protection, and
over temperature protection. The open-drain PGOOD pin
provides output status. Standby current is less than 10μA
when disabled.
The device is available in a low profile, thermally en-
hanced MLPD-3x3mm 10-pin package.
