The SC250 is a synchronous step-down converter
designed specifically for use as an adaptive voltage
supply for CDMA and WCDMA RF Power Amplifiers (PAs).
The output voltage can be adjusted dynamically between
0.3V and (Vin - 0.4)V through a linear analog control input.
For high power operation, a maximum control input signal
level forces the device into bypass mode where the input
is connected directly to the output via an internal PChannel pass transistor. Bypass mode also occurs when
the output load demands duty cycles in excess of the
maximum rated duty cycle.
The SC250 also provides an LDO regulator which can be
used to supply a 2.85V bias to the PA. The internal clock
runs at 1MHz to maximize efficiency while still allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors
can be used.
Applications
‹
‹
‹
‹
The peak current rating of the internal PMOS switch allows
a DC output current of 600mA. The bypass PMOS current
rating allows a minimum of 1A DC output current in the
bypass mode. Shutdown turns off all the control circuitry
to achieve a typical shutdown current of 0.1μA.

Applications Information
SC250 Detailed Description
The SC250 adaptive power controller is a step-down,
fixed frequency pulse-width modulated DC-DC converter
designed for use with RF Power Amplifiers (PAs) in
CDMA and WCDMA handsets and modules. The SC250
output is used to supply DC power to the PA rather than
connecting the DC input pin directly to the battery supply.
A substantial system power efficiency improvement can
be achieved by allowing the system controller to adaptively
adjust the DC power to the PA, reducing the total power
consumption of the device when in low-power mode. To
improve efficiency at all RF output gain settings, the PA
supply voltage is adjusted in a linear fashion, minimizing
PA supply headroom and losses.
Bias Supply Output
In addition to the main output, the SC250 also provides a
low current LDO output that can be used as a bias supply
for power amplifiers. This output provides a regulated
2.85V with output current capability up to 20mA. The
2.85V output is guaranteed for input supply voltages in
excess of 2.95V.
A consequence of using the SC250 to power the PA, rather
than using a linear regulator or direct connection to the
battery, is that less current is needed. Reduced current
consumption results in more talk-time for the handset.
Thermal Shutdown
The device has a thermal shutdown feature to protect the
device if the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. In
thermal shutdown, the PWM drive is disabled, effectively
tri-stating the LX output. The device will not be enabled
again until the temperature reduces by 10°C.
Protection Features
The SC250 provides the following protection features:
• Thermal shutdown
• Current limit
• Under-voltage lockout
Operation Modes
The SC250 output voltage is dependent on the VDAC analog
control voltage, defined by the following relationship:
Short-Circuit Protection
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 LX pin will switch
with minimum duty cycle. The duty cycle is short enough to
allow the inductor to discharge during each cycle, thereby
preventing the inductor current from “staircasing.”
VOUT = 3 × VDAC
In a typical PA system application, the system controller
determines what output power level is needed from the
PA and adjusts the VDAC voltage to match the required PA
headroom for optimized efficiency.
The pass-through PMOS is also protected by a current
limit function. When the part is first enabled in passthrough, the output capacitor charges up with a large
surge current. This surge current is internally limited for
protection purposes, but the limit is set high enough to
meet fast start-up times. In order to protect against a
short-circuit condition and to allow the transient response
time, an internal timer allows the part to operate under
current limit conditions for a maximum of 64 cycles of the
internal clock (1MHz typical). If the short-circuit conditions
persists, the pass-through PMOS will turn off for 1ms,
after which the first timer is restarted. This allows the part
to manage thermal dissipation while giving it the ability to
recover when the fault condition is removed.
Pass-Through Mode
When the VDAC voltage reaches 1.36V, the SC250
enters pass-through mode. If the demanded output
voltage is within 430mV of the input voltage, the SC250
automatically enters pass-through as this exceeds the
maximum controlled duty cycle of the power converter.
In pass-through mode, the device enables an internal PChannel MOSFET that bypasses the converter, connecting
the output directly to the input. The RDSON of this FET is
extremely low, so there is little voltage drop across the part.
Pass-through allows the lowest insertion loss possible
between VIN and VOUT under high-power conditions, thereby
maintaining maximum efficiency under these conditions.

Applications Information (Cont.)
Under-Voltage Lockout
Under-voltage lockout protection is used to prevent
erroneous operation. As the input decreases, the device
shuts down when the voltage drops below 2.35V and will
not restart until the input voltage exceeds approximately
2.5V.
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.
COUT Selection
The internal compensation is designed to work with a
certain output filter corner frequency defined by the
equation:
Inductor Selection
The SC250 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:
fC
This single pole filter is designed to operate with an output
capacitor value of 4.7μF.

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 that is dependent
upon this ESR, as can be seen in the following equation:
This equation demonstrates the relationship between
input voltage, output voltage, and inductor ripple current.
The inductor should have a low DC resistance 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:
'IL
ILPK IOUT (MAX ) 2
'VOUT (ESR) 'IL (ripple ) u ESR( COUT )
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.
Final inductor selection depends on various design
considerations such as efficiency, EMI, size, and cost.
Table 1 lists the manufacturers of practical inductor
options.

PCB Layout Considerations
Poor layout can degrade the performance of the DCDC converter and can be a contributory factor in EMI
problems, ground bounce and resistive voltage losses.
Poor regulation and instability can result.
3. Maximize ground metal on 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. To further reduce noise interference on sensitive
circuit nodes, use a ground plane with several vias
connecting to the component side ground.
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.
2. Route the output voltage feedback and VDAC path away
from inductor and LX node to minimize noise and
magnetic interference.
