The SC633 is a high-current voltage regulator using
Semtech’s proprietary low-noise charge pump technology. Performance is optimized for use in single Li-Ion
battery cell applications. The regulator provides the performance of a linear, low drop-out (LDO) voltage regulator
when the input is greater than 5.3V. Unlike an LDO, dropout is avoided when the input is less than 5.3V. Instead, a
charge pump is activated to provide voltage boost and
the head-room needed for voltage regulation.
Only two 2.2µF bucket capacitors are required to deliver
the full output current. The charge pump provides a low
EMI solution compared to inductive boost regulators.

The SC633’s charge pump has three modes of operation:
2x, 1.5x, and 1x modes. The 2x and 1.5x modes deliver
current to the load in each of two phases. The 1x mode
turns off the charge pump, delivering current through an
LDO. When active, the charge pump provides low-ripple
operation at 200kHz, which is typically less than 30mVpp
at the output. The SC633 is capable of delivering 275mA
continuous current, with peak current to 400mA. A 22µF
output capacitor is used for decoupling the load and for
smoothing mode transitions. Hysteresis is provided to
prevent chatter between charge pump modes.

Applications Information
General Description
The SC633 is a 5.3V output charge pump regulator
designed to support up to peak current of 400mA (TA ≤
55°C, 3.3V ≤ VIN ≤ 4.2V) and 275mA (TA ≤ 85°C, 3.15V ≤ VIN
≤ 5.5V) of continuous current for powering 5.0V devices in
portable handheld equipment including Compact Flash
and CF+ products.
The SC633 has three operating modes — 1x, 1.5x, and 2x.
The 1x mode is a linear series regulation mode with a low
open-loop output resistance of only 250mW. The 1x mode
functions as a low-noise series linear regulator. The 1.5x
and 2x modes are a low noise, constant frequency, constant duty cycle switch mode, using two bucket capacitors.
One bucket supports the full output current while the
other bucket charges from the input. The two buckets
exchange roles in the next phase, supplying continuous
output current in both phases and reducing the need for
a large output decoupling capacitor. The constant frequency, constant duty cycle operation also produces
predictable constant frequency harmonics.
output current related to the operation efficiency. The
following derating curve is obtained based on efficiency
at input voltage of 5V and 3.3V. For any input conditions,
due to the mode hysteresis, SC633 operation mode might
be determined from its previous operation voltage, it
could be in 1X, 1.5X, or 2X mode. The low efficiency
should always be used for worst case consideration. In
this case, at VIN =3.3V, SC633 operates in 2X mode. At VIN
=5V, SC633 operates either in 2X or 1.5X mode. In the
derating curve below, the DC operating points beneath
each curve are in the safe operating temperature range
of the MLP package.
Thermal Resistance
The SC633 package is thermally efficient when the circuit
board layout connects the thermal pad through multiple
vias to the ground plane. The thermal resistance rating is
dependent upon the connection between the thermal
pad and the ground plane. A layout that is done correctly
should keep the junction temperature below the overtemperature limit while operating the SC633 within the
specified electrical conditions. A poor layout may allow
the junction temperature to reach the over temperature
limit, so it is important to maintain adequate ground plane
around the device to maximize heat transfer to the PCB.
Temperature Derating
The maximum power dissipation of the package can be
calculated by the difference between the junction temperature of 150 degree and the ambient temperature
divided by the thermal impedance 68 °C/W. The higher
the ambient temperature, the lower the maximum allowable power dissipation. At a given V IN condition, the
allowable power dissipation will correlates to the specific
Maximum Continuous Output
Mode Transition
As input voltage varies, the SC633 will experience mode
transitions. The transition threshold changes with input
voltage and load conditions. The mode change hysteresis
at several load current conditions are shown in the operating curves on page 6. Mode transition will bring output
voltage dip or overshoots. The output voltage deviation
in mode transition can be improved by using larger
output capacitors if the output voltage going beyond the
regulation range.
Mode Transition Hysteresis
Hysteresis is provided to prevent chatter between charge
pump modes for input steps of up to 120mV. Decouple

that prevents the device from re-enabling until the junction temperature is reduced by 20°C.
Protection Circuitry
Capacitor Selection
The SC633 also provides protection circuitry that prevents
the device from operating in an unspecified state. These
functions include:
•
•
•
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
Short-Circuit Current Protection (SCCP)
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
Over-Current Protection
Over-current protection is provided to limit the output
current. When VOUT is greater than 2V, OCP limits the output
to 1A typical. The threshold at 2V allows the device to
recover from excessive voltage droop during an over
current.
Short-Circuit Current Protection
Short-circuit current protection is provided to limit the
current that can be sourced when the output is shorted to
ground. When a short circuit forces VOUT to drop below 2V,
the SCCP detects the condition and limits the output
current to 600mA (typical).
Over-Temperature Protection
The over-temperature circuit helps prevent the device
from overheating and experiencing a catastrophic failure.
When the junction temperature exceeds 165°C, the device
is disabled. It remains disabled until the junction temperature drops below this threshold. Hysteresis is included
The SC633 is designed to use low-ESR ceramic capacitors
for the input and output bypass capacitors as well as the
charge pump bucket capacitors. Ideal performance is
achieved when the bucket capacitors are exactly equal.
The value of input and output decoupling capacitors will
vary with system requirements. For best ripple performance CIN and COUT are normally 22µF and the bucket
capacitors C1 and C2 are 2.2µF. For low profile designs, two
10µF capacitors may be used in place of each 22µF.
When selecting capacitors for an application, first consider
the DC voltage characteristic of the capacitor. The value
of capacitance at the DC operating voltage may be considerably lower than the rated value. The following table
lists recommended capacitor values which have been
chosen to minimize the impact of this limitation.

The highest capacitance values in the smallest package
sizes will tend to have poor DC voltage characteristics.
The highest value 0402 size capacitor retains as little as
35% of its rated value at 5VDC. The same value chosen in
the next larger package size, 0603, will retain about 60%
of its rated value at 5VDC.

PCB Layout Considerations
Poor layout can degrade the performance of the regulator and can be a contributory factor in EMI problems,
ground bounce, thermal issues, and resistive voltage
losses. Poor regulation and instability can result.
The following design rules are recommended:
. Place the bucket capacitors as close to the device as
possible and on the same side of the board. Use short
wide copper areas between the capacitor pins and
the device pins.
2. Place the input and output decoupling capacitors
as close as possible to the device and connect these
capacitors’ ground pads together to the ground plane
using multiple vias through a short wide copper
area.
3. Connect pin 1 directly to the copper area under the
thermal pad.
4. The thermal pad at the center of the device is not
electrically connected. Connect this pad to the
ground plane using multiple vias.
5. Use a ground plane to further reduce noise
interference on sensitive circuit nodes.
