It uses top FET sensing for current limit together with a soft-start circuit and hiccup overcurrent protection. The EN/SS pin can be pulled low to put the SC1409 in a low quiescent shutdown state. It uses a wide bandwidth error amplifier for optimum transient response and minimum external compensation requirements. Overcurrent limit is preset at 1.5A, but can be set at a lower value by use of an external ISET resistor. EN/SS When power is first applied to the device, the EN/SS pin sources approximately 1uA to the external soft-start capacitor, most of the rest of the internal circuitry is disabled and the device is in low-power mode. If the soft-start pin is held low, the SC1409 will remain in lowpower mode, drawing approximately 5uA from the supply. Once the soft start pin is released, the external softstart capacitor will charge up slowly to the EN/SS threshold, where the source current will increase to approximately 30uA, charging the soft-start capacitor more quickly. The voltage at the soft-start pin modifies the internal reference voltage and hence controls the output voltage (see Soft-Start control of Vout). Once the soft start capacitor has charged to approximately 3V, the reference voltage at the input to the error amp will have reached its final value and the output voltage will no longer be under the control of the soft-start. Overcurrent Limit The SC1409 internally mirrors and scales the current through the top FET. This scaled, mirrored current is used to detect an overcurrent condition. In the event an overcurrent is detected, the output is immediately disabled and the soft-start capacitor is discharged at approximately 30uA until SS/EN reaches 1.5V. At this point the output is enabled and a normal soft-start cycle is initiated. If the fault persists, the output will be disabled, the soft-start capacitor will continue charging at 30uA until SS/EN reaches 4.5V before the discharge cycle is initiated. Some combinations of high output voltage, low inductance and high output capacitance will cause this “hiccup” mode of operation to continue even if the fault is cleared. In this case, input power will need to be cycled, or EN/SS cycled through shutdown to restore normal operation. Operating Frequency The frequency of operation can be set to a nominal 300kHz by grounding the FSET pin, or to a nominal 500kHz by returning the FSET pin to VIN. The SC1409 can also be synchronized to an external clock using the FSET pin. LAYOUT GUIDELINES The SC1409 should preferably be laid out over a ground plane. Since the power section and the control section of the IC share a common VIN pin, the VIN pin must be decoupled to ground by a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor as close to the IC as possible. The traces between VIN and the decoupling capacitor and the decoupling capacitor and the PGND pin should be 25 mils wide and no more than 100 mils long. The main input capacitor should be placed within about 1” of the IC using solid copper areas to connect to the IC. Ideally AGND should be returned to the output capacitor and connected to the ground plane at that point. Feedback resistors and all traces associated with them should be kept away from the phase node. The inductor should be placed as close to the PHASE pin as possible to minimize EMI. These principles are illustrated in the Evaluation Board shown below.

Total capacitance values of 22uF to 47uF are suitable with Esr of less than 350mΩ. Typical capacitors would be AVX TPS Tantalum surface mount type TPSC476M010R350 or Panasonic Specialty Polymer Aluminum Electrolytic surface mount type ECGC0KB470RA. Other types of capacitor are also suitable, such as high value ceramic or Aluminum electrolytics. Inductor Suitable Inductor values are in the range of 47uH to 330uH, higher inductor values give lower output voltage ripple and slower transient response time. Inductor ripple current acts with the output capacitor ESR to produce output voltage ripple. For a given output voltage ripple requirement, L can be calculated from Soft Start Capacitor The soft start capacitor value determines the soft start time according to the following equation:C = 0.015t where C is the soft start capacitor value in uF and t is the soft start time in mS Startup from a shutdown condition will take longer than this since the soft start capacitor must charge from its shutdown value to approximately 1V at a charge current of 1uA before the shutdown is released and true soft start begins. Divider Resistors The current through the divider chain should be at least 1000 times higher than the FB input bias current to eliminate ratio errors. This gives a maximum value for the bottom divider resistor (R4) of 24kΩ The top resistor (R2) can then be determined from R2 = (Vo-1.203)·R4/1.203 Compensation Normally, external compensation is not recommended, however, if required, loop response can be tailored with suitable values for R3, R5, C4 and C5. Consult the factory for details.
