SC196
1.5A Synchronous Buck Converter
with Integrated Power Devices
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
Features
The SC196 is a synchronous step-down converter with
integrated power devices designed for use in applications
using a single-cell Li-ion battery. Its wide input voltage
range also makes it suitable for use in systems with fixed
3.3V or 5V supply rails available. The switching frequency is
nominally set to 1MHz, allowing the use of small inductors
and capacitors. The current rating of the internal MOSFET
switches allows a DC output current of 1.5A.

The output voltage is set by connecting a resistor divider
from the filter inductor to the feedback pin. See the
SC196A for pin-programmable output voltages.
The SC196 has a flexible clocking methodology that
allows it to be synchronized to an external oscillator or
controlled by the internal oscillator. The device operates
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.

SC196 Detailed Description
The SC196 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.
Table 1 — Recommended ADJ Resistor Combinations
Operation
During normal operation, the PMOS MOSFET 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 external feedback divider. The ontime 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.
The SC196 has an internal synchronous NMOS rectifier
and does not require a Schottky diode on the LX pin.
Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage can be programmed using a resistor
network connected from VOUT to ADJ to GND. The
combined resistance of the divider chain should be
greater than 10KΩ and less than 1MΩ. Table 1 lists
appropriate resistors which limit the bias current required
of the external feedback resistor chain and ensuring good
noise immunity.

Thermal Shutdown
The device has a thermal shutdown feature to protect the
SC196 if the junction temperature exceeds 145°C. In
thermal shutdown, the on-chip power devices are disabled,
effectively tri-stating the LX output. Switching will resume
when the temperature drops by 10°C. During this time,
Resistors with 1% or better tolerance are recommended
to ensure voltage accuracy.

Continuous Conduction & Oscillator Synchronization
The SC196 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.
The output voltage can be adjusted between less than
0.8V and VIN. The output voltage formula is:

if the output voltage decreases by more than 60% of its
programmed value, a soft-start will be invoked.
the output capacitor. The burst-to-off period in PSAVE will
decrease as the load current reduces.
Current Limit
The PMOS and NMOS power devices of the buck switcher
stage 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 "staircasing".
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 SC196 automatically detects when to exit PSAVE
mode by monitoring VOUT . For the SC196 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.
Over-Voltage Protection
Over-voltage protection is provided on the SC196. In the
event of an over-voltage on the output, the PWM drive is
disabled, effectively tri-stating the LX output. The part will
not resume switching until the output voltage has fallen
2% below the regulation voltage.
If PSAVE operation is required, then a 22μF output
capacitor must be used.
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 start-up. 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 through 1/8, 1/4, 1/2
and full internal oscillator frequency. The time at which
these steps are made is controlled by the output voltage
reaching predefined threshold levels. When the output
voltage is within 2% of the regulation voltage, soft-start
mode is disabled.

it should enter PSAVE mode. The SC196 is optimized to
track maximum efficiency with respect to VIN.

100% Duty Cycle Operation
The 100% duty cycle mode may be selected by connecting
the MODE pin high. This will allow the SC196 to maintain
output regulation under conditions of low input voltage/
high output voltage conditions.
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 SC196 is designed for use with a 4.7μH inductor. Where
VOUT > 3.8V is required, a 10μH inductor is recommended.

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:

2S L u COUT
This filter has a single pole and is designed to operate with
a minimum output capacitor value of 10μF. Larger output
capacitor values will improve transient performance.
If PSAVE operation is required, the minimum capacitor
value is 22μF.

Output voltage ripple is a combination of the voltage
ripple from the inductor current charging and discharging
the output capacitor and the voltage created from the
inductor current ripple 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:
Final inductor selection will depend on various design considerations such as efficiency, EMI, size and cost. Table 2
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 input voltage filtering, while a
22μF capacitor is recommended for improved input
voltage filtering.

2. Route the output voltage feedback path away from the
inductor and LX node to minimize noise and magnetic
interference. Keep RFB1 and RFB2 close to the ADJ pin
to avoid noise pickup.
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.
4. Use a ground plane with several vias connecting to
the component side ground to further reduce noise
interference on sensitive circuit nodes.
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.
A few simple design rules can be implemented to ensure
good layout:
1. Place the inductor and filter capacitors as close to the
device as possible and use short wide traces between
the power components.

The output voltage is set at 1.2V by the selection of the two resistors RFB1 and RFB2, using resistor values from
Table 1. PWM-only mode operation is selected by connecting the SYNC/PWM pin to the VIN pin. The 100% duty cycle
capability is selected by connecting the MODE pin to the VIN pin. A 10μF capacitor is selected for the output, as PSAVE
operation is not required in this application.
