POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
Features
The SC900 is a highly integrated power management
device for low power portable applications. The device
contains five adjustable low-dropout linear regulators
(LDOs) with CMOS pass-devices as well as a band-gap
reference, I2C interface, and DACs to control the output
voltages.

Many features of the SC900 are programmable through
the I2C interface. These include the ability to independently turn on any combination of the five regulators. All
five of the LDO output voltages are programmable in
50mV steps from 1.45V to 3.00V. Each LDO can have
an active shutdown or nonactive shutdown program option through the interface. There is also a reset monitor
flag that is associated with LDOA. In addition, the device
has a separate programmable power-good monitor flag
that activates when one or more LDOs go out of regulation.
The SC900 offers significant quiescent current and space
savings to the system designer by sharing reference and
biasing among five LDOs. The small and thermally efficient 20-lead MLPQ package make it ideal for use in portable products where minimizing layout area is critical.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Information
General Description
Each of the five low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) can
be independently enabled or disabled and their output
voltages can each be set by an independent DAC. These
controls can be accessed through the I2C serial port.
There are five 8-bit volatile registers in the SC900; one
for each LDO (registers A,B,C,D,E). In addition there is
one common reset and power good control register and
one on/off control register. The active shutdown circuitry
can be accessed through each LDO register (refer to the
section “Active Shutdown” on page 11 for more information).
At power-up, the register contents are reset to their default values and the ARST for LDO A has a default startup delay of 100ms. At any time the part can be put into
it’s lowest power state (shutdown) by pulling the EN pin
low. Whenever the EN pin is forced low, the previous
settings are lost and the part requires reprogramming to
return to the desired state. When EN is pulled high, the
device starts up in the default state. A detailed description of the protocol used to load the registers with data
is described in the section entitled “Using the I2C Interface” on page 13.
VIN and Enable Pin
The VIN supply must be ≥ 2.7V before the EN pin can be
asserted. This means that the EN pin should not be tied
to VIN so that it does not reach a logic high level before
the input supply reaches 2.7V.
LDOA (Core Supply)
LDOA is intended to be used as the MSM core supply. It
has an output current capability of 200mA and a dedicated reset signal ARST. INA is the dedicated input supply for this regulator.
LDOB (Digital I/O Supply)
INB supplies power for the internal I2C interface and other
digital I/O functions, while LDOB supplies power for ARST
and LDOPGD output ports (see block diagram). Therefore it is imperative that LDOB be operational to make
use of ARST and LDOPGD. If LDOB is turned off by the
on/off control register, these output ports will not function.

LDO RESET Control Register:
ARST Pin
There are two functions that can be programmed, defining the ARST pin action:
• Set the polarity of the reset signal
• Set the reset clear delay time in milliseconds
As soon as the LDOA output voltage falls below its programmed value, the ARST pin is asserted. The polarity
of the ARST pin can be set to active high or active low
during a reset condition, by bit 6 of the LDO Reset Control Register. Once the error condition is resolved (output rises to the programmed value), a delay is initiated
before the ARST pin is cleared. The delay is programmable by bits 0-1 of the LDO Reset Control Register. The
Default delay time is 100ms, and the delay can be programmed for 0, 50, 100, or 150ms.
LDOPGD Pin
There are three functions that can be programmed to
define the LDOPGD pin action:
• Set which LDOs are to be monitored for power-good
• Set the polarity of the power-good signal
• Set the power-good delay time in milliseconds
Bits 4 and 5 of the LDO Reset Control Register select
which LDO or LDOs are monitored. LDO C, D and E can
be monitored independently or LDOs A, C, D, & E can be
monitored collectively. The polarity of the LDOPGD pin
can be set to active high or active low by bit 7 of the LDO
Reset Control Register. As soon as any of the selected
LDO output voltages which are monitored falls within spec,
the LDO power-good (LDOPGD) pin is asserted. Once the
LDO output power is stable (output rises to the programmed value), a delay is initiated before the LDOPGD
pin is set. The delay is programmable by bits 2 and 3 of
the LDO Reset Control Register. The default delay is
100ms, and this delay can be programmed to 0, 50,
100, or 150ms.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Information (Cont.)
Active Shutdown
The shutdown control bits determine how the on-chip
active shutdown switches behave. Each LDO register
uses bit 5 of the LDO output voltage data byte to control
the shutdown behavior. When the active shutdown bit is
enabled (set to 1), the capacitance on the LDO output
will be discharged by an on-chip FET after the LDO is disabled. When the active shutdown bit is disabled (set to
0), the output capacitance on the LDO output is discharged by the load. The default active shutdown state
for all LDOs is on.
ON/OFF Control Register
Each individual LDO may be turned on or off by accessing the ON/OFF control register. LDOs are turned on by
setting their respective on/off bit to 1. Likewise, they
can be turned off by setting the on/off bit to 0. This
allows for on/off control with a single write command. If
the enable (EN) pin is high and data is written to the LDO
voltage registers, the LDO outputs will go to the voltage
prescribed by the Output Voltage Code bits (0-4). Data
will not be lost when toggling the on/off bit from 0 to 1.
However, if the EN pin is forced low, all circuitry in the
device is disabled. All programmed information is lost
when the enable bit is subsequently pulled high.
VASEL Pin
The VASEL pin sets the default voltage of LDO A, the
core supply. When this pin is set to VIN, the default voltage is 2.80V. When this pin is set to GND, the default
voltage is 1.80V. The voltage can be changed from its
default state after start up by writing to the LDO voltage
code register.
Device Addressing
Following a start condition, the master must output the
address of the slave it is accessing. The most significant
six bits of the slave are the device type identifier (ID).
For the SC900 this is fixed at 000100[B]. The next significant bit addresses a particular device. A system can
have up to two SC900 devices on the bus. The two
addresses are defined by the state of the A0 input (see
Figure 1).

Pi n A0 to GND = 0
Pi n A0 to VIN = 1
R /W

When the A0 pin is tied to GND, device 1 has an address
of 0 and the combination of device type ID and address
is 0x08H. When the A0 pin is tied to VIN, device 2 has
and address of 1 and the combination of device type ID
and address is 0x09H.
The last bit of the slave address defines the operation to
be performed. When set to a one a read operation is
selected; when set to a zero a write operation is selected.
Following a start condition, the SC900 monitors the SDA
line comparing the slave address being transmitted with
its slave address (device type ID and state of A0 input).
Upon a correct compare the SC900 outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. Depending on the state of the R/
W bit, the SC900 will execute a read or write operation.
Protection Circuitry
The SC900 provides protection circuitry that prevents
the device from operating in an unspecified state. These
include Under-voltage Lockout Protection, Over-temperature Protection and Short-circuit Protection.
Under Voltage Lockout
The SC900 provides an Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
circuit to protect the device from operating in an unknown
state if the input voltage supply is too low. When the
battery voltage drops below the UVLO threshold, the LDOs
are disabled. As the battery voltage increases above
the hysteresis level, the LDOs are re-enabled into their
previous states, provided ENABLE has remained high. If
ENABLE goes low, the SC900 will shut down.
Over-temperature Protection
The SC900 provides an internal Over-temperature (OT)
protection circuit that monitors the internal junction temperature. When the temperature exceeds the OT threshold, the OT protection disables all the LDO outputs. As
the junction temperature drops below the hysteresis level
the OT protection re-enables all the LDOs in their previous states, provided ENABLE has remained high. If ENABLE goes low, the SC900 will shut down.
Short-circuit Protection
Each LDO output has short-circuit protection. If a short
is applied to any output, the output voltage will drop and
the output current will be limited to the short circuit current until the short is removed.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Information (Cont.)
voltage track is very thin, then use five 1µF capacitors
placed very close to the input pins of the SC900. If the
input track is fairly thick, then you can use a single 4.7µF
capacitor at the beginning of the voltage feed track since
a wider track has less inductance per inch. The
SC900EVB has five 1µF capacitors, but these can be
replaced with one 4.7µF in place of C1 and opens in
place of C9, C14, C15, and C16 (see page 20 for details).
Layout Considerations
Layout is straightforward if you use the Gerber files on
page 21 as a reference. Notice that the input voltage
feed to the SC900 is on the bottom of the board and

Output Voltage Code Bits:
A 5-bit linear DAC controls the output voltage of each LDO. The DAC and error-amp gain are scaled so that the LSB
size at the output is 50mV. Output voltage can be set by writing the proper code to the desired LDO register. See
Table A for the bitcodes and their corresponding voltages.

Using the I2C Interface
The SC900 is a read-write slave-mode I2C device and complies with the Philips I2C standard Version 2.1 dated
January 2000. The SC900 has six user-accessible internal 8-bit registers. The I2C interface has been designed for
program flexibility, in that once the slave address has been sent to the SC900 enabling it to be a slave transmitter/
receiver, any register can be written or read from independent of each other. While there is no auto increment/
decrement capability in the SC900 I2C logic, a tight software loop can be designed to randomly access the next
register independent of which register you begin accessing. The start and stop commands frame the data-packet
and the repeat start condition is allowed if necessary.
SC900 Limitations to the I2C Specifications
Seven-bit addressing is required for communicating with the SC900; ten-bit addressing is not allowed. Any general
call address will be ignored by the SC900. Note that the SC900 is not CBUS compatible. Finally, the SC900 can
operate in standard mode (100kbit/s) or fast mode (400kbit/s).

Supported Formats
Direct Format - Write
The simplest format for an I2C write is the direct format. After the start condition [S], the slave address is sent,
followed by an eighth bit indicating a write. The SC900 I2C then acknowledges that it is being addressed, and the
master responds with an 8-bit data byte consisting of the register address. The slave acknowledges and the
master sends the appropriate 8-bit data byte. Once again the slave acknowledges and the master terminates the
transfer with the stop condition [P].

then acknowledges that it is being addressed, and the master responds with an 8-bit data byte consisting of the
register address. The slave acknowledges and the master sends the repeated start condition [Sr]. Once again the
slave address is sent, followed by an eighth bit indicating a read. The slave responds with an acknowledge and the
previously addressed 8-bit data byte. The master then sends a non-acknowledge (NACK). Finally, the master
terminates the transfer with the stop condition [P].

Stop Separated Reads
Another read format is available which is, in effect, an extension of the combined format read. This format allows
a master to set up the register address pointer for a read and return to that slave some time later to read the data.
After the start condition [S], the slave address is sent, followed by a write. The SC900 I2C then acknowledges that
it is being addressed, and the master responds with the 8-bit register address. The master then sends a stop or
restart condition, and may address another slave. Some time later the master sends a start or restart condition,
and a valid slave address is sent, followed by a read. The SC900 I2C then acknowledges and returns the data at the
register address location that had previously been set up.
