The SC1404 is a multiple-output power supply controller designed
for battery operated systems. The SC1404 provides synchronous
rectified buck converter control for two power supplies. An efficiency of 95% can be achieved. The SC1404 uses Semtech’s
proprietary Virtual Current SenseTM technology along with external
error amplifier compensation to achieve enhanced stability and
DC accuracy over a wide range of output filter components while
maintaining fixed frequency operation. The SC1404 also provides two linear regulators for system housekeeping. The 5V linear regulator takes its input from the battery; for efficiency, the
output is switched to the 5V output when available. The 12V linear regulator output is generated from a coupled inductor off the
5V switching regulator.
Control functions include: power up sequencing, soft start, powergood signaling, and frequency synchronization. Line and load
regulation is to +/-1% of the output voltage. The internal oscillator can be adjusted to 200 kHz or 300 kHz or synchronized to an
external clock. The mosfet drivers provide >1A peak drive current
for fast mosfet switching.
Applications
Notebook and Subnotebook Computers
Automotive Electronics
Desktop DC-DC Converters
The SC1404 includes a PSAVE# input to select pulse skipping
mode for high efficiency at light load, or fixed frequency mode for
low noise operation.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Detailed Description
Under light load conditions when the PSAVE# pin is low, the
SC1404 operates hysteretically in the discontinuous conduction
mode to reduce its switching frequency and switching bias current.
The switching of the output mosfet does not depend on a given
oscillator frequency, but on the hysteretic voltage set around the
nominal output voltage. When entering PSAVE# mode (from heavy
to light load), if the minimum (valley) inductor current measured
at CSHx-CSLx is below the Zero Cross threshold (typically 5 mV) for
four switching cycles, the virtual current sense circuitry will shut off
and the mode changes to hysteretic mode. As the load current
increases, if the minimum (valley) inductor current is above the
threshold for four switching cycles, the converter stops psave mode
and enters PWM operation. The change in frequency between
hysteretic psave and PWM mode provides hysteresis to inhibit
chattering between the two modes of operation.
The SC1404 is a versatile multiple-output power supply controller
for battery operated systems. The SC1404 provides synchronous
rectified buck control in fixed frequency forced-continuous (PWM)
mode and hysteretic PSAVE mode, for two switching power supplies
over a wide load range. Out of phase switching reduces input
noise and RMS current, which reduces the input filter inductors
and capacitors. The two switchers have on-chip preset output
voltages of 5.0V and 3.3V.
The control circuitry for each PWM controller includes digital
softstart, voltage error amplifier with built-in slope compensation,
pulse width modulator, power save, overcurrent, overvoltage and
undervoltage fault protection. Two linear regulators and a precision
reference voltage are also provided. The 5V/30mA linear regulator
(VL) uses battery power to feed the gate drivers. For improved
efficiency, VL automatically switches over the +5V converter output
if available. The 12V linear regulator supplies up to 200mA.
Semtech’s proprietary Virtual Current SenseTM provides greater
advantages in the aspect of stability and signal-to-noise ratio than
the conventional current sense method.
Gate Drive / Control
The gate drivers on the SC1404 are designed to switch large
mosfets. The high-side gate driver must drive the gate of high-side
mosfet above the V+ input. The supply for the gate drivers is
generated by charging a boostrap capacitor from the VL supply
when the low-side driver is on. In continuous conduction mode,
the low-side driver output that controls the synchronous rectifier
in the power stage is on when the high-side driver is off. Under light
load conditions when PSAVE# pin is low, the inductor ripple current
will approach the point where it reverses polarity. This is detected
by the low-side driver control and the synchronous rectifier is turned
off before the current reverses, preventing energy drain from the
output. The low-side driver operation is also affected by various
fault conditions as described in the Fault Protection section.
PWM Control
There are two separate PWM control blocks for each switcher.
They are switched out-of-phase with each other. This interleaved
topology reduces input filter requirements by reducing current
drawn from the filter capacitors. To avoid both switchers switching
at the same instance, there is a built-in delay between the turn-on
of the 3.3V switcher and 5V switcher, the amount of which depends
on the input voltage (see Out-of-Phase Switching).
Internal Bias Supply
The PWM provides two modes of control over the entire load range.
The SC1404 operates in forced continuous conduction mode as
a fixed frequency peak current mode controller with falling edge
modulation. Current sense is done differently than in conventional
peak current mode control. Semtech’s proprietary Virtual Current
SenseTM emulates the necessary inductor current information for
proper functioning of the IC. In order to accommodate a wide
range of output filters, a COMP pin is also available for
compensating the error amplifier externally. A nominal error
amplifier gain of 18 improves the system loop gain and the output
transient behavior.
The VL linear regulator is a 5V output that powers the gate drivers,
2.5V reference and internal controls of the SC1404. The regulator
is capable of supplying up to 30mA (including mosfet gate charge
current). The VL pin should be bypassed to GND with 4.7uF to
supply the large gate drive current pulses.
The regulator receives input power from the V+ battery input. Efficiency is improved by providing a bootstrap for the VL output.
When the 5V SMPS output voltage reaches 5V, internal circuitry
turns on a PMOS device between CSL5 and VL. The internal VL
regulator is then disabled, and VL bias is provided by the high
efficiency 5V switcher.
When operating in continuous conduction mode, the high-side
mosfet is turned on at the start of each switching cycle. It is turned
off when the desired duty cycle is reached. Active shoot-through
protection will delay the lower mosfet turn-on until the phase node
drops below 1V. The low-side mosfet remains on until the beginning
of the next switching cycle. Again, active shoot-through protection
ensures that the low-side mosfet gate voltage drops low before
the high-side mosfet turns on.
 2004 Semtech Corp.
The REF output is accurate to +/- 2% over temperature. It is capable
of delivering 5mA max and should be bypassed with 1uF minimum
capacitor. Loading the REF pin will reduce the REF voltage slightly
as seen in the following table.

Current Sense (CSH, CSL)
Output current of each supply is sensed at the CSH and CSL pins.
Overcurrent is reached when the current sense voltage exceeds
55mV typical. On a cycle-by-cycle basis, a positive overcurrent
turns off the high-side driver and a negative overcurrent turns off
the low-side driver.
Power up Controls and Soft Start
The user controls the SC1404 RESET# through the SEQ, ON3 and
ON5 pins, as shown in the Startup Sequence Chart. At startup,
RESET# is held low for 32K switching cycles, and then RESET# is
determined by the output voltages and the SEQ pin.
Oscillator
When the SYNC pin is high the oscillator runs at 300kHz; when
SYNC is low the frequency is 200kHz. The oscillator will synchronize
to the falling edge of a clock on the SYNC pin with a frequency
between 240kHz and 350kHz. In general, 200kHz operation
provides highest efficiency, while 300kHz allows for smaller output
ripple and/or smaller filter components.
To prevent surge currents at startup, each SMPS has a counter
and DAC to incrementally raise the current limit (CSH-CSL voltage).
The current limit follows discrete steps of typically 25%, 40%, 60%,
80%, and 100%, each step lasting 128 clock cycles. To charge up
the output capacitors, inductor current at startup must exceed
load current. When the output voltage reaches it’s nominal value
the SMPS will reduce duty cycle, but the excess LI2 energy of the
inductor must flow into the load and output capacitors. If the
output capacitor is relatively small, the peak output voltage can
approach the overvoltage trip point. To prevent nuisance OVP at
startup, the inductance and capacitance must meet the following
criteria:
Fault Protection
In addition to cycle-by-cycle current limit, the SC1404 provides
overtemperature, output overvoltage, and undervoltage
protection. Overtemperature protection will shut the device down
if die temperature exceeds 150°C, with 10°C hysteresis.
If either SMPS output is more than 10% above its nominal value,
both SMPS are latched off and the low side mosfets are latched
on. To prevent the output from ringing below ground in a fault
condition, a 1A Schottky diode should be placed across each output.
L MAX
V O _ NOM 2
≤
⋅ 1 . 59
C MIN IL MAX _ OC 2
ILMAX_OC is the maximum inductor current set by the current-limit
components, and VO_NOM is the nominal output voltage.
Two different levels of undervoltage (UV) are detected. If the output
falls 9% below its nominal value, the RESET# output is pulled low.
If the output falls 25% below its nominal value, both SMPS are
latched off.
12OUT Supply
The 12OUT linear regulator is capable of supplying 200mA. The
input voltage to the 12OUT regulator is generated by a secondary
winding on the 5V SMPS inductor.
Both of the latched faults (OVP and UV) persist until SHDN or ON3
is toggled, or the V+ input is brought below 1V.
A heavy load on the 12OUT regulator when the 5V SMPS operates
in PSAVE mode will cause VDD to sag, causing 12OUT to drop. If
12OUT output drops 0.8% from its nominal value, the 5V SMPS is
forced out of PSAVE mode and into PWM mode for several cycles.
This recharges the bulk input capacitor on VDD.
Shutdown and Operating Modes
Holding the SHDN pin low disables the SC1404, reducing the V+
input current to less than 10uA. When SHDN is high, the part
enters standby mode where the VL regulator and VREF are enabled.
Turning on either SMPS will put the SC1404 in run mode.
 2004 Semtech Corp.
The 12OUT linear regulator has internal protection to prevent
damage under short circuit conditions. Overvoltage protection is
provided on the VDD input. If VDD rises above 19V, a 10mA shunt
load is applied to VDD to reduce the voltage. The overvoltage
threshold has 0.5V hysteresis.

Applications Information
To specify the output capacitance, the allowable output ripple
voltage must be determined. Output ripple is often specified at
1% of the output voltage. For the 3.3V output, we selected a
maximum ripple voltage of 33mVp-p. The maximum allowable
ESR would then be:
Reference Circuit Design
The schematic for the reference circuit is shown on page 20. The
reference circuit is configured as follows:
Switching Regulator 1
Switching Regulator 2

ESR MAX = ∆V O / ∆ IO = 33mV / 1.5 A = 22m Ω
Vout1 = 3.3V @ 6A
Vout2 = 5.0V @ 6A
Vout3 = 5.0V @ 30mA
Vout4 = 12.0V @ 200mA
Vin = 7 to 21V
Panasonic SP Polymer Aluminum capacitors are a good choice.
For this design, use one 180uF, 4V device, with ESR of 15mΩ.
The output capacitor must support the inductor RMS ripple current.
To check the actual ripple versus the capacitor’s RMS rating:
Designing the Output Filter
IRMS_ actual =
Before calculating the filter inductance and capacitance, an
acceptable inductor ripple current is determined. Ripple current
is usually set at 10% to 20% of the maximum load. However,
increasing the ripple current allows for a smaller inductor and will
also quicken the output transient response. In this example, we
set the ripple current to be 25% of maximum load.
∆ I O = 25 % × 6 A = 1 . 5 A
The inductance is found from ripple current, frequency, input
voltage, and output voltage. Minimum required inductance is
found at maximum Vin, where ripple current is the greatest.
L min = Vo ×
This is much less than the capacitor’s ripple rating of 3.3A.
Choosing the Main Switching mosfet
The IRF7143 is used in the reference design. Before choosing the
main (high-side) mosfet, we need to check three parameters: voltage, power, and current rating.
The maximum drain to source voltage of the mosfet is mainly
determined by the switcher topology. With a buck topology,
(1 − Vo / Vin )
= 6 . 18 uH
F × ∆ Io
VDS _ MAX = VIN _ MAX = 21 V
For the reference design, the Coiltronics DR127-6R8 is used. This
is acceptable for the 3V output, which uses a simple inductor. The
5V inductor must have a 12V winding with a turns ratio of 2.2:1.
For the 5V inductor, the TTI-8215 from Transpower Technologies
is used, which has 5V inductance of 6.4uH.

A good loop design is a combination of the power train and compensation design. In the SC1404, the control-to-output/power train
response is dominated by the load impedance, the inductor, output capacitance, and the ESR of the output caps. The low frequency gain is dominated by the output load impedance and the
effective current sense resistor. Inherent to Virtual Current SenseTM,
there is one additional low frequency pole sitting between 100Hz
and 1kHz and a zero between 15kHz and 25kHz. he output of
error amplifier COMP pin is available for external compensation. A
traditional pole-zero-pole compensation is not necessary in the
design using SC1404, a simple high frequency pole is usually
sufficient.

As input voltage decreases, the duty cycle increases and the ripple
current decrease, and overall the RMS mosfet current will increase.

Applications Information
As the input voltage is reduced, the duty cycle of both converters
increases. At input voltages less than 8.3V, it is impossible to
prevent overlap regardless of the phase between the converters.
Overlap is seen in the following figure.
Input Capacitor Selection and Out-of-phase Switching
The SC1404 uses out-of-phase switching between the two
converters to reduce input ripple current, allowing smaller cheaper
input capacitors compared to in-phase switching.
period
The figure below shows in-phase switching. I3in is the input current
for the 3V converter, I5in is the input current for the 5V converter.
The two converters start each switching cycle simultaneously,
causing a significant amount of overlap and a high peak current.

two currents add together. The fourth waveform is current in and

From an input filter standpoint it is desirable to minimize the
overlap; but it is also desirable to keep the turn-on and turn-off
transitions of the two converters separated in time, to minimize
interaction between the two converters. The SC1404 keeps the
turn-on and turn-off transitions separated in time by changing the
phase between the converters depending on the input voltage.
The following table shows the phase relationship between 3V and
5V turn-on, based on input voltage.

The next figure shows out-of-phase switching. The 3V and 5V
pulses are spaced apart, so there is no overlap. This gives two
benefits; the peak current is reduced, and the effective switch
frequency is raised. Both of these make filtering easier. The third
waveform is the total input current, and the fourth waveform shows
the current flowing in and out of the input capacitors. The rms
value of the capacitor current is significantly lower than the inphase case, which allows for smaller capacitors.

IF_AVG
Input ripple current can be calculated from the following equations.
D3 = 3.3V/V IN = 3V duty cycle
where 100nsec is the estimated time between the mosfet turnoff and the Schottky diode turn-on and Ts = 3.33uS.A Schottky
diode with a forward current of 0.5A is sufficient for this design.
D5 = 5V/V IN = 5V duty cycle
I3 = 3V DC load current
I5 = 5V DC load current
Operation below 6V input
The SC1404 will operate below 6V input voltage with careful
design, but there are limitations. The first limitation is the
maximum available duty cycle from the SC1404, which limits
the obtainable output voltage. The design should minimize all
circuit losses through the system in order to deliver maximum
power to the output.
DOVL = overlapping duty cycle of the 3V and 5V pulses
(varies according to input voltage)
DOVL = 0 for 9.6V ≤ VIN
DOVL = (D5 - 0.41) for 6.7V ≤ VIN < 9.6V
DOVL = (D5 - 0.36) for VIN < 6.7
A second limitation with operation below 6V is transient
response. When load current increases rapidly, the output
voltage drops slightly; the feedback loop normally increases duty
cycle briefly to bring the output voltage back up. If duty cycle is
already near the maximum limit, the duty cycle cannot increase
enough to meet the demand, and the output voltage sags more
than normal. This problem can not be solved by changing the
feedback compensation, it is a function of the input voltage,
duty cycle, and inductor and capacitor values.
IIN = Average DC input current
IIN = I3 ⋅ D3 + I5 ⋅ D5

If an application requires 5V output from an input voltage below
6V, the following guidelines should be used:
1 - Set the switching frequency to 200 kHz (Tie SYNC to
ground). This increases the maximum duty cycle
compared to 300 kHz operation.
The worst-case ripple current varies by application. For the case
6A load on both outputs, the worst-case ripple occurs at Vin =
7.5V, and the rms capacitor current is 4.2A. The reference design
uses 4 paralleled ceramic capacitors, (Murata GRM32NF51E106Z,
10 uF 25V, size 1210). Each capacitor is rated at 2.2A.
2 - Minimize the resistance in the power train. Select
mosfets, inductor, and current sense resistor to provide
the lowest resistance as is practical.
Choosing Synchronous mosfet and Schottky Diode
3 - Minimize the pcb resistance for all traces carrying
high current. This includes traces to the input
capacitors, mosfetS and diodes, inductor, current sense
resistor, and output capacitor.
Since this is a buck topology, the voltage and current ratings of the
synchronous mosfet are the same as the main switching mosfet.
It makes sense cost- and volume-wise to use the same mosfet for
the main switch as for the synchronous mosfet. Therefore, IRF7413
is used again in the design for synchronous mosfet.
4 - Minimize the resistance between the SC1404
circuit and the power source (battery, battery charger,
AC adaptor).
To improve overall efficiency, an external Schottky diode is used in
parallel with the low side mosfet. The freewheeling current enters
the Schottky diode instead of the inefficient body diode of the
synchronous mosfet. It is really important when laying out the
board to place the synchronous mosfet and Schottky diode close
to each other to reduce the current ramp-up and ramp-down time
due to parasitic inductance between the channel of the mosfet
and the Schottky diode. The current rating of the Schottky diode
can be determined by the following equation:

POWER MANAGEMENT
5V Start-up with slow Vin ramp.
The following guidelines for 12V loading apply to the typical circuit,
page 22.
Proper startup of the 5V output can be hampered by slow dV/dt on
the input. The SC1404 will power up and attempt to generate an
output when the input voltage exceeds 4.5 volts. If the input has
a slow dV/dt, the input voltage will not rise significantly during the
start-up sequence, leading to two conditions. First, the VL supply
can be hundreds of mV below 5V, since the input may not yet be
above 5V. Second, the duty cycle will be at maximum, leading to
very small off-times. These two conditions tend to reduce the
boost voltage; if continued indefinitely, the boost capacitor may
be unable to recharge fully, and eventually the high-side driver
loses its boost bias.
To avoid this the following steps should be taken:
1. If possible the dV/dt of the input supply should exceed .02V/
usec. This dV/dt condition only applies when the input passes
between 4 and 6 volts, the point at which the SC1404 begins a
startup sequence. An alternative is to make sure the input voltage
reaches 6 volts within 100 usec of SC1404 startup at
approximately 4.2 volts. This is sufficiently fast to allow VL and
duty cycle to achieve normal levels and prevents the boost voltage
from falling.

2. If the input dV/dt cannot meet condition 1, the startup of the
SC1404 should be delayed until the input voltage reaches 6V.
This can be done using either the SHDN# or ON5 pin. If the dV/dt
is moderate (slews from 4 to 6 volts in several msecs), an RC
delay on either the SHDN# or ON5 pin should be enough to delay
turn-on until the input reaches 6V.
3. For slow dV/dt on the input (10’s of msec), the SC1404 should
be held off until the input reaches 6V. This can be done using a
comparator or external logic to hold the SHDN# or ON5 pin low
until the input reaches 6V.
12V Load Limitations
The 12V regulator derives input power from a secondary winding
on the 5V inductor. During the 5V off-time, the inductor transfers
energy from the 5V winding to the secondary winding, thereby
providing a crudely regulated 15V that feeds the 12V regulator.
Note that duty cycle increases at low input voltages, and therefore
the on-time decreases. At low input voltages, the duty cycle
increases to maintain the 5V output. The off-time consequently
decreases, which has two detrimental effects. It allows less time
to recharge the raw 15V capacitor, and it also raises the peak 15V
current required to maintain the average 12V load. The 15V
winding needs higher peak current, delivered in less time. But the
stray (leakage) inductance of the inductor resists rapid changes in
winding current, and ultimately limits how much current can be
drawn from 15V before the voltage falls.

Overvoltage Test
Measuring the overvoltage trip point can be problematic. Any
buck converter with synchronous mosfets can act as a boost converter, sending energy from output to input. In some cases the
energy sent to the input is enough to drive the input voltage beyond normal levels, causing input overvoltage. To prevent this,
enable the SC1404 PSAVE# feature, which effectively disables
the low side mosfet drive so that little energy, if any, is transferred
back to the input.

Layout Guidelines
b. Current Sense.
As with any high frequency switching regulator design, a good PCB
layout is essential to optimize performance of the converter. Before starting pcb layout, a careful layout strategy is strongly recommended. See the pcb layout in the SC1404 Evaluation Kit manual
for example. In most applications, FR4 board material with 4 or
more layers and at least 2-ounce copper is recommended(for
output current up to 6A). Use at least one inner layer for ground
connection. It is good practice to tie signal ground and power ground
together at one single point so that the signal ground is not easily
contaminated. Also be sure that high current paths have low inductance and resistance by making trace widths as wide as possible and lengths as short as possible. Use low-impedance bypassing for lines that pull large amounts of current in short periods
of time. The following step by step layout strategy is recommended.
Minimize the length of current sense signal traces. Keep them
less than 15mm. Kelvin connections should be used; try to keep
the traces parallel to each other and route them close to each
other as much as possible. Even though SC1404 implements
Virtual Current Sense scheme, the current sense signal is sampled
by the SC1404 to determine the PSAVE threshold. See the following figure for a Kelvin connection of the current sense signal.

c. Gate Drive.
D1
L1
SC1404 has built-in gate drivers capable of sinking/sourcing 1A
peaks. Upper gate drive signals are noisier than the lower ones.
Therefore, place them away from sensitive analog circuitries. Make
sure the lower gate traces are as close as possible to the IC pins
and both upper and lower gate traces as wide as possible.
Q2
Step #2: PWM controller placement (pins) and signal ground island.
The phase node is generally the largest source of noise in the
converter circuit since it switches at very high rate of speed. The
phase node connections should be kept to a minimum size consistent with its connectivity and current carrying requirements.
Place the Schottky diode as close to the phase node as possible
to minimize the trace inductance between it and the low side
mosfet, to reduce the efficiency loss due to the current ramp-up
and down time. This is important when the converter needs to
handle high di/dt requirements.

plane, which connects to the SC1404’s GND pin. This includes
REF, COMP3, COMP5, SYNC, ON3, ON5, PSV# and RESET#.
Step #3: Ground plane arrangement.
There are several ways to tie the different grounds together. Since
this is a buck topology converter, the output ground is relatively
quieter than the input ground. Therefore connect analog ground
to power ground at the output side. Often it is useful to use a
separate ground symbol for the two grounds, and tie the two
grounds together at a single point through a 0Ω resistor. The
power ground for the input side and the power ground for the
output side is the same ground and they can be tied together
using internal planes.
