Description
SC483
Dual Synchronous Buck Pseudo Fixed
Frequency Power Supply Controller
Features
The SC483 is a dual output constant-on synchronous
buck PWM controller intended for use in notebook
computers and other battery operated portable devices.
Features include high efficiency and a fast dynamic
response with no minimum on time. The excellent
transient response means that SC483 based solutions
will require less output capacitance than competing fixed
frequency converters.
The switching frequency is constant until a step in load
or line voltage occurs at which time the pulse density
and frequency will increase or decrease to counter the
change in output or input voltage. After the transient
event, the controller frequency will return to steady state
operation. At light loads, Power-Save Mode enables the
SC483 to skip PWM pulses for better efficiency.
Each output voltage can be independently adjusted from
0.5V to VCCA. Two frequency setting resistors set the
on-time for each buck controller. The frequency can thus
be tailored to minimize crosstalk. The integrated gate
drivers feature adaptive shoot-through protection and
soft switching. Additional features include cycle-by-cycle
current limit, digital soft-start, over-voltage and under-
voltage protection, and a PGOOD output for each
controller.
