SC191
Low Supply Ripple Synchronous
Buck Conversion Regulator
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
Features
The SC191 is a synchronous step-down converter with
integrated power devices and an integrated front-end
LDO regulator to minimize input supply ripple. If supply
ripple is not a concern, the front-end LDO regulator can be
bypassed externally to maximize efficiency.
The internal MOSFET switches provide peak current greater
than 550mA to achieve a DC output of at least 330mA over
the rated input voltage range, making the SC191 ideal for
single-cell Li-ion battery applications as well as fixed 3.3V
and 5V fixed input applications. The output is a fixed 1.2V
- ideal for low-voltage microprocessors. Other voltage
options are available (consult the factory for details).
Additional features include internal soft-start to limit in-
rush current, over-current protection, over-temperature
protection, and over-voltage protection.
The 1MHz switching frequency allows the use of small
surface mount capacitors and inductors, and no other
external compensation components are needed. The
device is available in a low profile (0.8mm max height)
2.3mm x 2.3mm MLPD 8-lead package, minimizing area
without compromising performance.
