u
u
The SC1454 has a bypass pin to enable the user to u
capacitively decouple the bandgap reference for very low u
u
output noise (50µVRMS typically).
u
The SC1454 contains two ultra low dropout voltage
regulators (ULDOs). It operates from an input voltage
range of 2.25V to 6.5V, and a wide variety of output
voltage options are available. One ULDO has a fixed
output, and the other is either fixed (SETA pin grounded)
or adjustable using external resistors. Each ULDO has an
independent enable pin.
Designed specifically for battery operated systems, the
devices utilize CMOS technology to require very low
operating currents (typically 130µA with both outputs
supplying 150mA). In addition, the dropout voltage is
typically 155mV at 150mA, helping to prolong battery
life further. The devices are designed to provide 400mA
of peak current for applications which require high initial
inrush current.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Information
Theory Of Operation
The SC1454 includes thermal shutdown circuitry to turn
off the device if T J exceeds 150°C (typical), with the
device remaining off until TJ drops by 20°C (typical).
Reverse battery protection circuitry ensures that the
device cannot be damaged if the input supply is
accidentally reversed, limiting the reverse current to less
than 1.5mA.
The SC1454 is intended for applications where very low
dropout voltage, low supply current and low output noise
are critical. Furthermore, the SC1454, by combining two
ultra Descriptions
low dropout (ULDO) regulators, along with enable
PIN
controls and output voltage adjustability for one output,
provides a very space efficient solution for multiple
supply requirements.
Component Selection - General
The SC1454 contains two ULDOs, both of which are
supplied by one input supply, between IN and GND. Each
ULDO has its own active high enable pin (ENA/ENB).
Pulling this pin low causes that specific ULDO to enter a
very low power shutdown state.
Output capacitor - Semtech recommends a minimum
capacitance of 1µF at the output with an equivalent
series resistance (ESR) of < 1W over temperature. While
the SC1454 has been designed to be used with ceramic
capacitors, it does not have to be used with ceramic
capacitors, allowing the designer a choice. Increasing the
bulk capacitance will further reduce output noise and
improve the overall transient response.
The SC1454 contains an internal bandgap reference
which is fed into the inverting input of two error
amplifiers, one for each output. The output voltage of
each regulator is divided down internally using a resistor
divider and compared to the bandgap voltage. The error
amplifier drives the gate of a low R DS(ON) P-channel
MOSFET pass device.
Input capacitor - Semtech recommends the use of a 1µF
ceramic capacitor at the input. This allows for the device
being some distance from any bulk capacitance on the
rail. Additionally, input droop due to load transients is
reduced, improving overall load transient response.
Output A has both a fixed and adjustable output voltage
mode. Grounding the SETA pin (pulling it below the Sense/
Select threshold of 40mV) will connect the internal
resistor divider to the error amplifier resulting with the
internally preset output voltage. If SETA is pulled above
this threshold, then the Sense/Select switch will
connect the SETA pin to the error amplifier. Output A will
then be regulated such that the voltage at SETA will equal
VSETA, the SETA reference voltage (typically 1.250V).
Bypass capacitor - Semtech recommends the use of a
10nF ceramic capacitor to bypass the bandgap
reference. Increasing this capacitor to 100nF will
further improve power supply rejection. Reducing this
capacitor below 1nF may result in output overshoot at
turn-on.
Component Selection - Externally Setting Output

Each regulator has its own current limit circuitry to
ensure that the output current will not damage the
device during output short, overload or start-up. The
current limit is guaranteed to be greater than 400mA to
allow fast charging of the output capacitor and high
initial currents for DSP initialization.

Referring to the circuit above, the output voltage of
output A can be externally adjusted anywhere within the
range from 1.25V to (VIN(MAX) - VD(MAX)). The output voltage
will be in accordance with the following equation:

the output voltage to come up quicker.

The worst-case power dissipation for this part is given

(2)
(125 − 85)
Layout Considerations
While layout for linear devices is generally not as critical
as for a switching application, careful attention to detail
will ensure reliable operation.
1) Attaching the part to a larger copper footprint will
enable better heat transfer from the device, especially
on PCBs where there are internal ground and power
planes.
2) Place the input, output and bypass capacitors close
to the device for optimal transient response and device
behaviour.
3) Connect all ground connections directly to the ground
plane. If there is no ground plane, connect to a common
local ground point before connecting to board ground.
Looking at a typical application:
VIN(MAX) = 4.2V
VOUTA = 3V - 2% (worst case) = 2.94V
VOUTB = 3.3V - 2% (worst case) = 3.234V
IOUTA = IOUTB = 150mA
TA = 85°C
Inserting these values into equation (2) above gives us:
PD(MAX ) = (4.2 − 2.94 ) • 0.15 + (4.2 − 3.234 ) • 0.15
= 0.189 + 0.145
= 0.334 W
Using this figure, we can calculate the maximum thermal

− TA (MAX ) )
PD(MAX )
This target value can be achieved by using one square
inch of board copper connected to the GND pin (pin 3),
which connects directly to the device substrate.
Increasing this area or the use of multi layer boards will
lower the junction temperature and improve overall
output voltage accuracy.
For all practical purposes, equation (1) can be reduced
to the following expression:
+ (VIN ( MAX ) − VOUTB ( MIN ) ) • IOUTB (MAX )
J( MAX )
0.334
= 120°C / W
+ VIN(MAX ) • IQ(MAX )
