SC4201IMSTRT

Multi-Phase Link Controller POWER MANAGEMENT Description The SC4201 is a multi-phase link controller, ideal for isolated and non-isolated applications. Its frequency of operation can be programmed in excess of 2MHz per phase (oscillator frequency = phase frequency times number of phases 3 or 4) and can be easily synchronized to an external faster frequency. The SC4201 output frequencies can be set to 2/4 or 3 phase operation. A single pin can either set a 4 phase operation (each phase is 90 degrees apart) or 3 phase operation (120 degrees apart). Multi-phase operation of multiple primary or secondary controllers reduces input/output ripple, the number of components required for filtering, and noise due to frequency beating generated by multiple free running oscillators. The SC4201 is available in the MSOP-8 surface mount package.

A reel contains 2500 devices. (2) Lead free product. This product is fully WEEE and RoHS compliant. Pin Descriptions Pin 1 2 3 Pin Name RT VD D SYNC Pin Function Oscillator frequency is configured by connecting resistor R from RT to ground. Values for R can be selected to provide desired 3 phase or 4 phase output frequencies. The power input connection for the device. SYNC is a positive edge triggered input with a threshold of ~VDD/3. SYNC should be grounded when not required or connected to an external synchronization clock with frequency higher than the on board oscillator frequency (with respect to internal clock). SYNC frequency = phase frequency times number of phases 3 or 4. Logic level output clock. Phase "A", totem-pole type. Logic level output clock. Phase "B", totem-pole type. Logic level output clock. Phase "C", totem-pole type. Logic level output, totem-pole type, lock and phase selection pin. Default operation 4 phase/2 phase (90°/180°). Tie D to VDD to select 3 phase operation through A, B and C 120° out of phase. Reference ground and power ground for all functions. 4 5 6 7 A B C D 8 GND Marking Information yyww = Datecode (Example: 0012) xxxx = Semtech Lot # (Example: E901 xxxx = 01-1)  2004 Semtech Corp. 3 www.semtech.com SC4201 POWER MANAGEMENT Block Diagram Figure 1  2004 Semtech Corp. 4 www.semtech.com SC4201 POWER MANAGEMENT Typical Characteristics Phase Frequency vs. RT, 4-Phase Operation Vdd = 6V 10000 Vdd = 3V 1000 Frequency, (kHz) 100 10 10 100 1000 RT, (kOhm) Figure 2 Phase Frequency vs. RT, 3-Phase Operation Vdd = 6V 10000 Vdd = 3V 1000 Frequency, (kHz) 100 10 10 100 1000 RT, (kOhm) Figure 3  2004 Semtech Corp. 5 www.semtech.com SC4201 POWER MANAGEMENT Typical Characteristics (Cont.) 4-Phase Figure 4 3-Phase Figure 5  2004 Semtech Corp. 6 www.semtech.com SC4201 POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information Diagram in Figure 6 shows multi-phase operation of several power converters with fixed switching frequency FSW.
