Description
Features
The SC1548 is a power supply controller designed to
provide a simple single regulated power supply with over
current protection. It is part of Semtech’s SmartLDO™
family of products. The SC1548 can provide a 1.818V
power supply for the I/O plane or 1.515V for GTL+ / AGP
from either 3.3V or 2.5V. An adjustable option allows
generation and control of any voltage from 1.263V up to
5V.
‹ ± 2.5% output accuracy over line, load and
temperature
‹ 1.515V, 1.818V and adjustable output voltage
options available
‹ Enable control
‹ Over current protection
‹ 5-pin SOT-23 package
Applications
SC1548 features include tight output voltage regulation,
an enable control and over current protection. Over
current protection is provided by feedback to the sense
pin. If the output drops below 50% of the nominal
output voltage (typical) for greater than 4ms (typical), the
output will be shut down.

Applications Infomation
Theory Of Operation
The SC1548 linear FET controller provides a simple way
to drive an N-channel MOSFET to produce a tightly
regulated output voltage from an available, higher,
supply voltage. It takes its power from a 12V supply,
drawing typically 2mA while operating.
Also included is an overcurrent protection circuit that
monitors the output voltage. If the output voltage drops
below 50% of nominal, as would occur during an
overcurrent or short condition, the device will pull the
drive pin low and latch off.
It contains an internal bandgap reference which is
compared to the output voltage via a resistor divider.
This resistor divider is internal on the fixed output
voltage options, and user selectable on the adjustable
option. Since the drive pin can pull up to a 9V
guaranteed minimum, the device can be used to
regulate a large range of output voltages by careful
selection of the external MOSFET (see component
selection, below).
Fixed Output Voltage Options
Please refer to the Application Circuit on Page 1. The
fixed output voltage parts have an internal resistor
divider that draws a nominal 100µA from the output.
The voltage at the common node of the resistor divider
is then compared to the bandgap reference voltage of
1.263V. The drive pin voltage is then adjusted to
maintain the output voltage set by the resistor divider.
Referring to the block diagram on page 5, the nominal
resistor values are:
The SC1548 includes an active high enable control with
an internal pullup resistor. If this pin is pulled low, the
drive pin is pulled low, turning off the N-channel MOSFET.
If the pin is left open or pulled up to 2.5V, 3.3V or 5V,
then the drive pin will be enabled.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Infomation (Cont.)
It is possible to adjust the output voltage of the fixed
voltage options, by applying an external resistor divider
to the sense pin (please refer to Figure 1 below). Since
the sense pin sinks a nominal 100µA, the resistor
values should be selected to allow 10mA to flow through
the divider. This will ensure that variations in this current
do not adversely affect output voltage regulation. Thus a
target value for R2 (maximum) can be calculated:
R2 ≤
V OUT ( FIXED )
Ω
10 mA
The output voltage can only be adjusted upwards from the fixed
output voltage, and can be calculated using the
following equation:

Adjustable Output Voltage Option
Again, a target value for R2 (maximum) can be
calculated:
The adjustable output voltage option does not have an
internal resistor divider. The adjust pin connects directly
to the inverting input of the error amplifier, and the
output voltage is set using external resistors (please
refer to Figure 2 above). In this case, the adjust pin
sources a nominal 0.5µA, so the resistor values should
be selected to allow 50µA to flow through the divider.

To be most effective, the MOSFET RDS(ON) should not be
selected artificially low. The MOSFET should be
chosen so that at maximum required current, it is almost
fully turned on. If, for example, a supply of 1.5V at 4A is
required from a 3.3V ± 5% rail, the maximum allowable
RDS(ON) would be:
R DS ( ON )( MAX ) =
4
To allow for temperature effects 200mΩ would be a
suitable room temperature maximum, allowing a peak
short circuit current of approximately 15A for a short time
before shutdown.
Capacitor Selection
Table 1: Recommended Resistor Values For SC1548
Output Capacitors: low ESR aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitors are recommended for bulk
capacitance, with ceramic bypass capacitors for
decoupling high frequency transients.
The maximum output voltage that can be obtained from
the adjustable option is determined by the input supply
voltage and the RDS(ON) and gate threshold voltage of the
external MOSFET. Assuming that the MOSFET gate
threshold voltage is sufficiently low for the output
voltage chosen and a worst-case drive voltage of 9V,
VOUT(MAX) is given by:
Input Capacitors: placement of low ESR aluminum
electrolytic or tantalum capacitors at the input to the
MOSFET (VPWR) will help to hold up the power supply
during fast load changes, thus improving overall transient
response. The 12V supply should be bypassed with a
0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
V OUT ( MAX ) = V PWR ( MIN ) − I OUT ( MAX ) • R DS ( ON )( MAX )
Short Circuit Protection
Layout Guidelines
The short circuit protection feature of the SC1548 is
implemented by using the RDS(ON) of the MOSFET. As the
output current increases, the regulation loop maintains
the output voltage by turning the FET on more and more.
Eventually, as the RDS(ON) limit is reached, the MOSFET
will be unable to turn on any further, and the output
voltage will start to fall. When the output voltage falls to
approximately 50% of nominal, the LDO controller is
latched off, setting output voltage to 0V. Toggling the
enable pin or cycling the power will reset the latch.
One of the advantages of using the SC1548 to drive an
external MOSFET is that the bandgap reference and
control circuitry do not need to be located right next to
the power device, thus a very accurate output voltage
can be obtained since heating effects will be minimal.
The 0.1µF bypass capacitor should be located close to
the supply pin, and connected directly to the ground plane.
The ground pin of the device should also be connected
directly to the ground plane. The sense or adjust pin does
not need to be close to the output voltage plane, but
should be routed to avoid noisy traces if at all possible.
To prevent false latching due to capacitor inrush currents
or low supply rails, the current limit latch is initially
disabled. It is enabled at a preset time (nominally 5ms)
after both IN and EN rise above their lockout points. If
EN is left floating (using the internal resistor pullup), then
VPWR should come up before VIN, or the device will latch
off. If the enable function is not being used, EN should
be tied to VPWR.
