POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
Features
The SC196A is a synchronous step-down converter with
integrated power devices. The SC196A is designed for
single-cell Li-Ion battery applications but can also be used
in fixed 3.3V or 5V applications. The switching frequency
is nominally set to 1MHz, allowing the use of small
inductors and capacitors. The maximum current rating of
the internal MOSFET switches allows a DC output current
of 1.5A.

Four programable output voltages 1.00V/1.05V/1.20V/
1.80V are available. See SC196 with external feedback
for other output voltage settings.
The SC196A has a flexible clocking methodology that
allows it to be synchronized to an external oscillator or
controlled by the internal oscillator. The device can
operate in either forced PWM mode or in PSAVE mode. If
PSAVE mode is enabled, the part will automatically enter
PFM at light loads to maintain maximum efficiency across
the full load range.

Applications Information
• Over-voltage protection
• Soft-start
SC196A Detailed Description
The SC196A is a synchronous step-down, Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM), DC-DC converter utilizing a 1MHz
fixed-frequency current mode architecture. The device
is designed to operate in a fixed-frequency PWM mode
across the full load range and can enter Power Save Mode
(PSAVE), utilizing Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) at
light loads to maximize efficiency.
Thermal Shutdown
The device has a thermal shutdown feature to protect
the SC196A if the junction temperature exceeds 145°C.
In thermal shutdown, the on-chip power devices are
disabled, tri-stating the LX output. Switching will resume
when the temperature drops by 10°C. During this time,
if the output voltage decreases by more than 60% of its
programmed value, a soft-start will be invoked.
Operation
During normal operation, the PMOS is activated on each
rising edge of the internal oscillator. Current feedback
for the switching regulator uses the PMOS current path,
and it is amplified and summed with the internal slope
compensation network. The voltage feedback loop uses
an internal feedback divider. The on-time is determined by
comparing the summed current feedback and the output
of the error amplifier. The period is set by the onboard
oscillator or by an external clock attached to the SYNC/
PWM pin.
Current Limit
The PMOS and NMOS power devices of the buck switcher
are protected by current limit functions. In the case of a
short to ground on the output, the part enters frequency
foldback mode, which causes the switching frequency to
divide by a factor determined by the output voltage. This
prevents the inductor current from "stair-casing".
Over-Voltage Protection
Over-voltage protection is provided on the SC196A. In
the event of an over-voltage on the output, the PWM drive
is disabled, tri-stating the LX output. The part will not
resume switching until the output voltage has fallen 2%
below the regulation voltage.
The SC196A has an internal synchronous NMOS rectifier
and does not require a Schottky diode on the LX pin.
Programmable Output Voltage
The SC196A has four pre-determined output voltage
values which can be individually selected by the correct
programming of the VID0 and VID1 pins (see Programmable
Output Voltage table on Page 4). This eliminates the need
for external programming resistors, saving PCB area and
inventory. The VID pins can be statically tied to GND or
VIN for fixed output configurations, or they may be driven
by a microprocessor, enabling the possibility of dynamic
voltage adjustment for host equipment "sleep" states.
Soft-Start
The soft-start mode is enabled after every shutdown cycle
to limit in-rush current. In conjunction with the frequency
foldback, this controls the maximum current during startup. The PMOS current limit is stepped up through seven
soft-start levels to the full value by a timer driven from
the internal oscillator. During soft-start, the switching
frequency is stepped by 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 of the internal
oscillator frequency up to the full value, under control of
three output voltage thresholds. As soon as the output
voltage is within 2% of the regulation voltage, soft-start
mode is disabled.
Continuous Conduction & Oscillator Synchronization
The SC196A is designed to operate in continuous
conduction, fixed-frequency mode. When the SYNC/PWM
pin is tied high, the part runs in PWM mode using the
internal oscillator. The part can be synchronized to an
external clock by driving a clock signal into the SYNC/
PWM pin. The part synchronizes to the rising edge of the
clock.
Power Save Mode Operation
The PSAVE mode may be selected by tying the SYNC/
PWM pin to GND. Selecting PSAVE mode will enable the
SC196A to automatically activate/deactivate operation
at light loads, maximizing efficiency across the full load
range. The SC196A automatically detects the load current
at which it should enter PSAVE mode. The SC196A is
optimized to track maximum efficiency with respect to
VIN.
Protection Features
The SC196A provides the following protection features:
• Thermal shutdown
• Current limit

POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Information (Cont.)
In PSAVE mode, VOUT is driven from a lower level to an
upper level by a switching burst. Once the upper level has
been reached, the switching is stopped and the quiescent
current is reduced. VOUT falls from the upper to lower levels
in this low current state as the load current discharges
the output capacitor. The burst-to-off period in PSAVE will
decrease as the load current reduces.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
The 100% duty cycle mode may be selected by connecting
the MODE pin high. This will allow the SC196A to maintain
output regulation under low input voltage/high output
voltage conditions.
In 100% duty cycle operation, as the input supply drops
toward the output voltage, the PMOS on-time increases
linearly above the maximum value in fixed-frequency
operation until the PMOS is active continuously. Once
the PMOS is switched on continuously, the output voltage
tracks the input voltage minus the voltage drop across
the PMOS power device and inductor according to the
following relationship:
The PSAVE switching burst frequency is controlled so that
the inductor current ripple is similar to that in PWM mode.
The minimum switching frequency during this period is
limited to 650kHz.
The SC196A automatically detects when to exit PSAVE
mode by monitoring VOUT . For the SC196A to exit PSAVE
mode, the load must be increased, causing VOUT to
decrease until the power save exit threshold is reached.
PSAVE levels are set high to minimize the undershoot
when exiting PSAVE. The lower PSAVE comparator level
is set +0.7% above VOUT, and the upper comparator level
at +1.5% above VOUT with the exit threshold at -2% below
VOUT.
VOUT = VI N − IOUT × ( RDSP + RIND )

If PSAVE operation is required, then a 22µF output
capacitor must be used.

Applications Information (Cont.)
Output voltage ripple is a combination of the voltage ripple
from the charge - discharge cycle of the output capacitor
and the voltage created by the inductor ripple current
passing through the output capacitor ESR. Selecting an
output capacitor with a low ESR will reduce the output
voltage ripple component, as can be seen in the following
equation:
Inductor Selection
The SC196A is designed for use with a 4.7μH inductor.
The magnitude of the inductor current ripple is dependent
on the inductor value and can be determined by the
following equation:

'9287 (65 ',/ ULSSOH u (65 &287 This equation demonstrates the relationship between
input voltage, output voltage, and inductor ripple current.
Capacitors with X7R or X5R ceramic dielectric are
strongly recommended for their low ESR and superior
temperature and voltage characteristics. Y5V capacitors
should not be used as their temperature coefficients
make them unsuitable for this application. Table 2 lists
the manufacturers of recommended capacitor options.
The inductor should have a low DCR to minimize the
conduction losses and maximize efficiency. As a minimum
requirement, the DC current rating of the inductor
should be equal to the maximum load current plus half
of the inductor current ripple, as shown by the following
equation:

Final inductor selection will depend on various design
considerations, such as efficiency, EMI, size and cost.
Table 1 lists the manufacturers of practical inductor
options.
CIN Selection
The source input current to a buck converter is noncontinuous. To prevent large input voltage ripple, a low
ESR ceramic capacitor is required. A minimum value of
10μF should be used for sufficient input voltage filtering,
and a 22μF should be used for improved input voltage
filtering.

PCB Layout Considerations
Poor layout can degrade the performance of the DC-DC
converter and can contribute to EMI problems, ground
bounce, and resistive voltage losses. Poor regulation and
instability can result.
2. Route the output voltage feedback path away from the
inductor and LX node to minimize noise and magnetic
interference.
3. Maximize ground metal on the component side to
improve the return connection and thermal dissipation.
Separation between the LX node and GND should be
maintained to avoid coupling of switching noise to the
ground plane.
. Use a ground plane with several vias connecting to
the component side ground to further reduce noise
interference on sensitive circuit nodes.
A few simple design rules can be implemented to ensure
good layout:
. Place the inductor and filter capacitors as close to the
device as possible and use short wide traces between
the power components.
