The SC630A is a high-current voltage regulator using
Semtech’s proprietary low-noise charge pump technology. The charge pump provides a low EMI solution
compared to inductive boost regulators. Performance is
optimized for use in single Li-Ion battery cell applications.
The regulator provides the performance of a linear, low
drop-out (LDO) voltage regulator when the battery is
greater than 3.3V. Unlike an LDO, drop-out is avoided
when the battery is less than 3.3V. Instead, a charge pump
is activated to provide voltage boost and the head-room
needed for regulation.
The SC630A’s charge pump has three modes of operation:
2x, 1.5x, and 1x modes. The 2x and 1.5x modes deliver
current to the load in each of two phases. The 1x mode
turns off the charge pump, delivering current through an
LDO. Hysteresis is provided to prevent chatter between
charge pump modes. When active, the charge pump provides low-ripple operation at 1MHz. Typically the output
ripple is 1% of the output voltage — 33mVpp at 215mA.
A small 2.2µF capacitor is recommended for all four capacitors. The full rated output current is provided when 2.2µF
is used for both bucket capacitors. At the output, a 2.2µF
capacitor decouples the load and provides smoothing for
mode transitions, while another 2.2µF is used to decouple
the input.

Applications Information
General Description
Temperature Derating
The SC630A is a 3.3V output charge pump regulator
designed to support up to 300mA (TA ≤ 85°C, 2.95V ≤ VIN ≤
5.5V) of continuous current. It is used for powering Micro
HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) and other 3.3V devices in portable handheld equipment including Compact Flash and
CF+ products.
The load current and battery voltage range of the application should be compared with the efficiency plots on
page 6 to determine if 2x mode is required by the application. The data provided in the following derating curve
for 2x mode is based on the peak power dissipation that
could occur while in 2x mode. 1x and 1.5x modes do not
require derating.
Mode Transition Hysteresis
Hysteresis is provided to prevent chatter between charge
pump modes. The hysteresis between charge pump
modes is shown in the efficiency plots of the Typical
Characteristics section. For optimum transient performance, the input should be decoupled to prevent steps
greater than the hysteresis voltage. Note that hysteresis is
load dependent, and increases with the load current to
prevent chatter between the charge pump modes.
Thermal Resistance
The SC630A package is thermally efficient when the
circuit board layout connects the thermal pad through
multiple vias to the ground plane. The thermal resistance
is dependent upon the connection between the thermal
pad and the ground plane. A layout that is done correctly
should keep the junction temperature below the overtemperature limit while operating the SC630A within the
specified electrical conditions. A poor layout may allow
the junction temperature to reach the over temperature
limit, so it is important to maintain adequate ground
plane around the device to maximize heat transfer to the
PCB.
350
300
IOUT (mA)
The SC630A has three operating modes — 1x, 1.5x, and
2x. The 1x mode is a linear series regulation mode with a
low output resistance of only 300mW. The 1x mode functions as a low noise series linear regulator. The 1.5x and 2x
modes are a low noise constant frequency, constant duty
cycle switch mode, using two bucket capacitors. One
bucket supports the full output current while the other
bucket charges from the input. The two buckets exchange
roles in the next phase, supplying continuous output
current in both phases and reducing the need for a large
output decoupling capacitor. The constant frequency,
constant duty cycle operation also produces predictable
constant frequency harmonics.

Protection Circuitry
The SC630A also provides protection circuitry that prevents the device from operating in an unspecified state.
These functions include:
•
•
•
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
Short-Circuit Current Protection (SCCP)
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
Over-Current Protection
Over-current protection is provided to limit the output
current. When VOUT is greater than 2V, OCP limits the
output to 1A typical. The threshold at 2V allows the device
to recover from excessive voltage droop during an over
current.
Short-Circuit Current Protection
Short-circuit current protection is provided to limit the
current that can be sourced when the output is shorted
to ground. When a short circuit forces VOUT to drop below
2V, the SCCP detects the condition and limits the output
current to 600mA (typical).

Applications Information (continued)
Over-Temperature Protection
The over-temperature circuit helps prevent the device
from overheating and experiencing a catastrophic failure.
When the junction temperature exceeds 165°C the device
is disabled. It remains disabled until the junction temperature drops below this threshold. Hysteresis is included
that prevents the device from re-enabling until the junction temperature is reduced by 20°C.

Capacitor Selection
The SC630A is designed to use low-ESR ceramic capacitors
for the input and output bypass capacitors as well as the
charge pump bucket capacitors. The value of input, output
and decoupling capacitors will vary with system requirements for ripple and output current. Performance as
shown in the Typical Characteristic section is expected
when using 2.2µF capacitors in the 0603(1608 metric) case
size with X5R dielectric for CIN , COUT , C1 and C2 capacitors
(refer to Table 1).
Consider the DC voltage characteristic of the capacitor
when choosing capacitors for an application. The value of
capacitance at the DC operating voltage may be considerably lower than the rated value. The following table lists
recommended capacitor values which have been chosen
to minimize the impact of this limitation.
The highest capacitance values in the smallest package
sizes tend to have poor DC voltage characteristics. The
highest value 0402 size capacitor retains as little as 35% of
its rated value at 5VDC. The same value chosen in the next
larger package size, 0603, will retain about 60% of its rated
value at 5VDC.

PCB Layout Considerations
Poor layout can degrade the performance of the regulator and can be a contributory factor in EMI problems,
ground bounce, thermal issues, and resistive voltage
losses. Poor regulation and instability can result.
The following design rules are recommended:
. Place the bucket capacitors as close to the device as
possible and on the same side of the board. Use short
wide copper areas between the capacitor pins and
the device pins.
2. Place the input and output decoupling capacitors
as close as possible to the device and connect these
capacitors’ ground pads together to the ground plane
using multiple vias through a short wide copper
area.
3. Connect pin 1 directly to the copper area under the
thermal pad.
4. The thermal pad at the center of the device is not
electrically connected. Connect this pad to the
ground plane using multiple vias.
5. Use a ground plane to further reduce noise
interference on sensitive circuit nodes.
