SC2602L
Synchronous Voltage Mode Controller
for Distributed Power Supply
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
Features
The SC2602L is low-cost, full featured, synchronous voltage-mode controller designed for use in single ended
power supply applications where efficiency is of primary
concern. Synchronous operation allows for the elimination of heat sinks in many applications. The SC2602L is
ideal for implementing DC/DC converters needed to
power advanced microprocessors in low cost systems,
or in distributed power applications where efficiency is
important. Internal level-shift, high-side drive circuitry, and
preset shoot-through control, allows the use of inexpensive N-channel power MOSFETs.

Theory of Operation
Synchronous Buck Converter
The output rail is regulated by a synchronous, voltagemode pulse width modulated (PWM) controller. This
section has all the features required to build a high efficiency synchronous buck converter, including “Power
Good” flag, shut-down, and cycle-by-cycle current limit.
As SENSE increases, the output voltage of the error
amplifier decreases. This causes a reduction in the ontime of the high-side MOSFET connected to DH, hence
lowering the output voltage.
Under Voltage Lockout
The under voltage lockout circuit of the SC2602L assures that the high-side MOSFET driver outputs remain
in the off state whenever the supply voltage drops below
set parameters. Lockout occurs if VCC falls below 4.1V.
Normal operation resumes once VCC rises above 4.2V.
The output voltage of the synchronous converter is set
and controlled by the output of the error amplifier. The
external resistive divider reference voltage is derived from
an internal trimmed-bandgap voltage reference (See Fig.
1). The inverting input of the error amplifier receives its
voltage from the SENSE pin.
Over-Voltage Protection
The over-voltage protection pin (OVP) is high only when
the voltage at SENSE is 20% higher than the target value
programmed by the external resistor divider. The OVP
pin is internally connected to a PNP’s collector.
The internal oscillator uses an on-chip capacitor and
trimmed precision current sources to set the oscillation
frequency to 200kHz. The triangular output of the oscillator sets the reference voltage at the inverting input of
the comparator. The non-inverting input of the comparator receives it’s input voltage from the error amplifier.
When the oscillator output voltage drops below the error amplifier output voltage, the comparator output goes
high. This pulls DL low, turning off the low-side FET, and
DH is pulled high, turning on the high-side FET (once
the cross-current control allows it). When the oscillator
voltage rises back above the error amplifier output voltage, the comparator output goes low. This pulls DH low,
turning off the high-side FET, and DL is pulled high, turning on the low-side FET (once the cross-current control
allows it).

Power Good
The power good function is to confirm that the regulator
outputs are within +/-10% of the programmed level.
PWRGD remains high as long as this condition is met.
PWRGD is connected to an internal open collector NPN
transistor.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Information (Cont.)
Soft Start
Initially, SS/SHDN sources 10µA of current to charge an
external capacitor. The outputs of the error amplifiers
are clamped to a voltage proportional to the voltage on
SS/SHDN. This limits the on-time of the high-side
MOSFETs, thus leading to a controlled ramp-up of the
output voltages.
An over-current condition occurs when the high-side drive
is turned on, but the PHASE node does not reach the
voltage level set at the OCSET pin. The PHASE node is
sampled only once per cycle during the valley of the triangular oscillator. Once an over-current occurs, the highside drive is turned off and the low-side drive turns on
and the SS/SHDN pin begins to sink 1.5µA. The softstart voltage will begin to decrease as the 1.5µA of current discharges the external capacitor. When the softstart voltage reaches 0.8V, the SS/SHDN pin will begin
to source 10µA and begin to charge the external capacitor causing the soft-start voltage to rise again. Again,
when the soft-start voltage reaches the level of the internal oscillator, switching will occur.
R DS(ON) Current Limiting
The current limit threshold is set by connecting an external resistor from the VCC supply to OCSET. The voltage drop across this resistor is due to the 200µA internal sink sets the voltage at the pin. This voltage is compared to the voltage at the PHASE node. This comparison is made only when the high-side drive is high to
avoid false current limit triggering due to uncontributing
measurements from the MOSFETs off-voltage. When
the voltage at PHASE is less than the voltage at OCSET,
an overcurrent condition occurs and the soft start cycle
is initiated. The synchronous switch turns off and SS/
SHDN starts to sink 1.5µA. When SS/SHDN reaches
0.8V, it then starts to source 10µA and a new cycle begins.
If the over-current condition is no longer present, normal operation will continue. If the over-current condition
is still present, the SS/SHDN pin will again begin to sink
1.5µA. This cycle will continue indefinitely until the overcurrent condition is removed.
In conclusion, below is shown a typical “12V Application
Circuit” which has a BSTH voltage derived by
bootstrapping input voltage to the PHASE node through
diode D1. This circuit is very useful in cases where only
input power of 12V is available.
Hiccup Mode
During power up, the SS/SHDN pin is internally pulled
low until VCC reaches the undervoltage lockout level of
4.2V. Once VCC has reached 4.2V, the SS/SHDN pin is
released and begins to source 10µA of current to the
external soft-start capacitor. As the soft-start voltage
rises, the output of the internal error amplifier is clamped
to this voltage. When the error signal reaches the level
of the internal triangular oscillator, which swings from
1V to 2V at a fixed frequency of 200kHz, switching occurs. As the error signal crosses over the oscillator signal, the duty cycle of the PWM signal continues to increase until the output comes into regulation. If an overcurrent condition has not occurred the soft-start voltage
will continue to rise and level off at about 2.2V.

Fig. 2. SC2602L small signal model.
The control model of SC2602L control loop small signal
can be depicted in Fig. 2. This model can also be used in
SPICE kind of simulator to generate loop gain Bode plots.
The bandgap reference is 0.8V and trimmed to +/-1%
accuracy. The desired output voltage can be achieved
by setting the resistive divider network, R1 and R2.
The error amplifier is transconductance type with fixed
gain of:
Gm
1.8. mA
V
The compensation network includes a resistor and a
capacitor in series, which terminates from the output of
the error amplifier to the ground.
This device uses voltage mode control with input voltage feed forward. The peak-to-peak ramp voltage is
proportional to the input voltage, which results in an excellent performance to reject input voltage variation. The
PWM gain is inversion of the ramp amplitude, and this
gain is given by:
G pwm

where the ramp amplitude (peak-to-peak) is 1.0 volts
when input voltage is 12 volts.

(3) Check that the ESR zero frequency is not too high.
F esr <

5
If this condition is not met, the compensation structure
may not provide loop stability. The solution is to add
some electrolytic capacitors to the output capacitor bank
to correct the output filter corner frequency and the ESR
zero frequency. In some cases, the filter inductance
may also need to be adjusted to shift the filter corner
frequency. It is not recommended to use only high frequency multi-layer ceramic capacitors for output filter.
(4) Choose the loop gain cross over frequency (0 dB
frequency). It is recommended that the crossover frequency is always less than one fifth of the switching
frequency :
F
F x_over ≤

If the transient specification is not stringent, it is better to
choose a crossover frequency that is less than one tenth
of the switching frequency for good noise immunity. The
resistor in the compensation network can then be calculated as:

(6) The final step is to generate the Bode plot, either by
using the simulation model in Fig. 2 or using the equations provided here with Mathcad. The phase margin
can then be checked using the Bode plot. Usually, this
design procedure ensures a healthy phase margin.
(7) An additional capacitor should be reserved at the
compensation pin to ground to have another high frequency pole.
An example is given below to demonstrate the procedure introduced above. The parameters of the power
supply are given as :
R = 4.8 KΩ
Step 5. Calculate the compensator C:
C = 65.886 nF
