FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The SiC47x is a family of wide input voltage, high efficiency
synchronous buck regulators with integrated high side
and low side power MOSFETs. Its power stage is capable
of supplying high continuous current at up to 2 MHz
switching frequency. This regulator produces an adjustable
output voltage down to 0.8 V from 4.5 V to 55 V input
rail to accommodate a variety of applications, including
computing, consumer electronics, telecom, and industrial.
SiC47x’s architecture allows for ultrafast transient response
with minimum output capacitance and tight ripple regulation
at very light load. The device enables loop stability
regardless of the type of output capacitor used, including
low ESR ceramic capacitors. The device also incorporates a
power saving scheme that significantly increases light load
efficiency. The regulator integrates a full protection feature
set, including over current protection (OCP), output
overvoltage protection (OVP), short circuit protection (SCP),
output undervoltage protection (UVP) and over temperature
protection (OTP). It also has UVLO for input rail and a user
programmable soft start.
The SiC47x family is available in 3 A, 5 A, 8 A, 12 A pin
compatible 5 mm by 5 mm lead (Pb)-free power enhanced
MLP55-27L package.

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
Device Overview
Power Stage
SiC47x is a high efficiency synchronous buck regulator
family capable of delivering up to 12 A continuous current.
The device has programmable switching frequency of
100 kHz to 2 MHz. The voltage mode, constant on time
control scheme delivers fast transient response, minimizes
the number of external components and enables loop
stability regardless of the type of output capacitor used,
including low ESR ceramic capacitors. The device also
incorporates a power saving feature that enables diode
emulation mode and frequency fold back as the load
decreases.
SiC47x integrates a high performance power stage with a
n-channel high side MOSFET and a n-channel low side
MOSFET optimized to achieve up to 98 % efficiency.
SiC47x has a full set of protection and monitoring features:
• Over current protection in pulse-by-pulse mode
• Output overvoltage protection
• Output undervoltage protection with auto retry
• Over temperature protection with hysteresis
• Dedicated enable pin for easy power sequencing
• Power good open drain output
• This device is available in MLP55-27L package to deliver
high power density and minimize PCB area
SPending-Rev. A, 04-Jul-2018
The power input voltage (VIN) can go up to 55 V and down
as low as 4.5 V for power conversion.
Control Scheme
SiC47x employs a voltage mode COT control mechanism in
conjunction with adaptive zero current detection which
allows for power saving in discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM). The switching frequency, fSW, is set by an external
resistor to AGND, Rfsw. The SiC47x operates between
100 kHz to 2 MHz depending on VIN and VOUT conditions.
V OUT
R fsw = --------------------------------------------12
f sw 190 10
Note, as long as VIN and VCIN are connected together, fSW
has no dependency on VIN as the on time is adjusted as VIN
varies. During steady-state operation, feedback voltage
(VFB) is compared with internal reference (0.8 V typ.) and the
amplified error signal (VCOMP) is generated at the comp node
by the external compensation components, RCOMP and
CCOMP. An externally generated ramp signal and VCOMP feed
into a comparator. Once VRAMP crosses VCOMP, an on-time

pulse is generated for a fixed time. During the on-time pulse,
the high side MOSFET will be turned on. Once the on-time
pulse expires, the low side MOSFET will be turned on after
a dead time period. The low side MOSFET will stay on for a
minimum duration equal to the minimum off-time (tOFF_MIN.)
and remains on until VRAMP crosses VCOMP. The cycle is then
repeated.

Fig. 5 - SiC47x Operational Principle
The need for ripple injection in this architecture is explained
below. First, let us understand the basic principles of this
control architecture:
• The reference of a basic voltage mode COT regulator
is replaced with a high gain error amplifier loop. The loop
ensures the DC component of the output voltage follows
the internal accurate reference voltage, providing
excellent regulation
• A second voltage feedback path via VSNS with a VRAMP
scheme ensures rapid correction of the transient
perturbation
• This establishes two voltage loops, one is the steady state
voltage feedback path (via the FB pin) and the other is the
feed forward path (via the VSNS pin). The scheme gives the
user the fast transient response of a COT regulator and
the stable, jitter free, line and load regulation performance
of a PWM controller
Choosing the Ripple Injection Component Values
For stability purposes the SiC47x requires adequate ripple
injection amplitude. Adequate ripple amplitude is required
for two main reasons:
1. To reduce jitter due to noise coupled into the system
2. To provide stable operation. Sub harmonic oscillation
can occur with constant on time ripple control if below
condition is not met
t ON
ESR C OUT --------2
Therefore, when the converter design uses an all ceramic
output capacitor or other low ESR output capacitors,
instability can occur. In order to avoid this, a VRAMP network
is used to increase the equivalent RESR in order to satisfy the
above condition. The VRAMP amplitude must be large
enough to avoid instability or noise sensitivity but not too
large that it degrades transient performance. To ensure
stable operation under CCM, DCM and ultrasonic mode,
minimum VRAMP amplitude of 100 mV is recommended for
the SiC47x family of regulators. A maximum VRAMP of
900 mV is recommended so as not to degrade transient
response.
SPending-Rev. A, 04-Jul-2018
VRAMP amplitude is a function of VIN, VOUT, and switching
frequency and should be adjusted whenever VIN, VOUT, or
switching frequency is changed.
For a given buck regulator design, VOUT and switching
frequency is typically fixed, while the converter may be
expected to work for a wide VIN range. The VRAMP amplitude
will increase as VIN is increased and increase the power
dissipated by Rx. A proper selection of RX, package size and
value, should take into account the maximum power
dissipation at the expected operating conditions.
In order to optimize the VRAMP amplitude over a desired VIN
range use the following procedure to calculate Rx, Cx, and
Cy.
1. The equation below calculates RX as a function of VIN,
VOUT, and maximum allowable power dissipated by RX.
V IN_MAX. V OUT 1 – D
R x = -------------------------------------------------------------------P RX_MAX.
where PRX_MAX. is the maximum allowed power
dissipation in Rx. Note, the maximum power dissipation
of a 0603 sized resistor is typically 25 mW. Power

small enough not to load excessively the VRAMP network
(Rx and Cx). Please use the follow formula:
Cy = 1/(0.82 x fsw)
This procedure allows for a maximum range of operation. In
order to simplify the procedure for calculating VRAMP and

Error Amplifier Compensation Value Selection (for reference only)
RCOMP and CCOMP in the Fig. 6 are the components used to compensate the control loop.
For optimal transient response, the crossover frequency should be:
• Set typically at 1/10th to 1/5th of the converter switching frequency (Vishay’s component calculator tool uses 1/10th the
converter switching frequency)
• Be above the LC filter resonance frequency which is 1/2 LC
The procedure to select the RCOMP and CCOMP such that the above conditions are met is as follows:
1. Plot the magnitude and phase of the control to output transfer function using the equation below.

Rc - output capacitor ESR
2. From the plot of the control to output transfer function, determine the gain and phase at the crossover frequency
3. Calculate the RCOMP using the equation
1
R COMP = -------------------------------------G H gm r FB
where GH is the gain of the transfer function at cross over frequency, “gm” is the transconductance of the error amplifier
(300 μS) and rFB is the ratio of the feedback divider, rFB = R_FB_L/(R_FB_L + R_FB_H)
4. Select CCOMP based on the placement of the zero such that phase margin is sufficient at the cross over frequency. A phase
margin of over 60° is sufficient for converter stability. A good starting point is to place the compensation zero at 1/5th of the
LC pole
5 LC
C COMP = ------------------R COMP
Once the component values are calculated, it is now possible to calculate the total loop gain. The total loop gain is the product
of the control to output transfer function and the error amplifier transfer function.
The transfer function of the error amplifier is given by the equation below.

Where Ro = 40 M is the output resistance of the transconductance amplifier.

well as error amplifier compensation components using user selected operating conditions.

Power-Save Mode, Mode Pin, and Ultrasonic Pin Operation
To improve efficiency at light-loads, SiC47x provides a set
of innovative implementations to reduce low side
re-circulating current and switching losses. The internal zero
crossing detector monitors SW node voltage to determine
when inductor current starts to flow negatively. In power
saving mode, as soon as inductor current crosses zero, the
device first deploys diode mode by turning off the low side
MOSFET. If load further decreases, switching frequency is
reduced proportional to the load condition to save switching
losses while keeping output ripple within tolerance. If the
ultrasonic pin is tied to VDD, the minimum switching
frequency in discontinuous mode is > 20 kHz to avoid
switching frequencies in the audible range. If this feature is
not required ultrasonic mode can be disabled by floating the
ULTRASONIC pin. When ultrasonic mode is disabled, the
regulator will operate in forced continuous mode or power
save mode where there is no limit to the lower frequency
limit. In this state, at zero load, switching frequency can go
as low as hundreds of hertz.
Vishay Siliconix
To improve the converter efficiency, the user can choose to
disable the internal VDRV regulator by picking either mode 3
or mode 4 and connecting a 5 V supply to the VDRV pin. This
reduces power dissipation in the SiC47x by eliminating the
VDRV linear regulator losses.
The mode pin supports several modes of operation as
shown in table 1. An internal current source is used to set
the voltage on this pin using an external resistor:

OUTPUT MONITORING AND PROTECTION FEATURES
Output Over-Current Protection (OCP)
SiC47x has pulse-by-pulse over current limit control. The
inductor current is monitored during low side MOSFET
conduction time through RDS(on) sensing. After a pre-defined
blanking time, the inductor current is compared with an
internal OCP threshold. If inductor current is higher than
OCP threshold, high side MOSFET is kept off until the
inductor current falls below OCP threshold.
OCP is enabled immediately after VDD passes UVLO level.
OCP is set by an external resistor, RLIM to AGND. (See table 2)
OCPthreshold
Iload
Iinductor
GH
Fig. 7 - Over-Current Protection Illustration
Output Undervoltage Protection (UVP)
UVP is implemented by monitoring the FB pin. If the voltage
level at FB drops below 0.16 V for more than 25 μs, a UVP
event is recognized and both high side and low side
MOSFETs are turned off. After a duration equivalent to
20 soft start periods, the IC attempts to re-start. If the fault
condition still exists, the above cycle will be repeated.
UVP is only active after the completion of soft-start
sequence.
Output Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
OVP is implemented by monitoring the FB pin. If the voltage
level at FB rising above 0.96 V, a OVP event is recognized
and both high side and low side MOSFETs are turned off.
Normal operation is resumed once FB voltage drop below
0.91 V.
SPending-Rev. A, 04-Jul-2018
Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
OTP is implemented by monitoring the junction
temperature. If the junction temperature rises above 150 °C,
a OTP event is recognized and both high side and low
MOSFETs are turned off. After the junction temperature falls
below 115 °C (35 °C hysteresis), the device restarts by
initiating a soft start sequence.
Sequencing of Input / Output Supplies
SiC47x has no sequencing requirements on its supplies or
enables (VIN, VCIN, VDD, VDRV, EN).
Enable
The SiC47x has an enable pin to turn the part on and off.
Driving this pin above 1.4 V enables the device, while driving
the pin below 0.4 V disables the device.
The EN pin is internally pulled to AGND by a 5 M resistor to
prevent unwanted turn on due to a floating GPIO.
Soft-Start
During soft start time period, inrush current is limited and the
output voltage is ramped gradually. The following control
scheme is implemented:
Once the VDD voltage reaches the UVLO trip point, an
internal “Soft start Reference” (SR) begins to ramp up. The
SR ramp rate is determined by the external soft start
capacitor and an internal 5 μA current source tied to the soft
start pin.
The internal SR signal is used as a reference voltage to the
error amplifier (see functional block diagram). The control
scheme guarantees that the output voltage during the soft
start interval will ramp up coincidently with the SR voltage.
The soft-start time, tSS, is adjustable by calculating a
capacitor value from the following equation.
C ss x 0.8 V
t ss = -----------------------------5 μA
During soft-start period, OCP is activated. Short circuit
protection is not active until soft-start is complete.

Pre-Bias Start-Up
Power Good
In case of pre-bias startup, output is monitored through FB
pin. If the sensed voltage on FB is higher than the internal
reference ramp value, control logic prevents high side and
low side MOSFETs from switching to avoid negative output
voltage spike and excessive current sinking through low
side MOSFET.
SiC47x’s power good is an open-drain output. Pull PGOOD
pin high through a > 10K resistor to use this signal. Power
good window is shown in Fig. 9. If voltage on FB pin is out
of this window, PGOOD signal is de-asserted by pulling down
to AGND. To prevent false triggering during transient events,
PGOOD has a 25 μs blanking time.

EXTERNAL COMPONENT SELECTION FOR THE SiC47x
This section explains external component selection for the
SiC47x family of regulators. Component reference
designators in any equation refer to the schematic shown in
Fig. 10.
An excel based calculator is available on the website to
make external component calculation simple. The user
simply needs to enter required operating conditions.
Output Voltage Adjustment
If a different output voltage is needed, simply change the
value of VOUT and solve for R_FB_H based on the following
formula:
R _FB_L V OUT - VFB
R _FB_H = ----------------------------------------------------V FB
where VFB is 0.8 V. R_FB_L should be a maximum of 10 k to
prevent VOUT from drifting at no load.
Switching Frequency Selection
The following equation illustrates the relationship between
frequency, VIN, VOUT, and Rfsw value:
V OUT
R fsw = --------------------------------------------------– 12
f sw x 190 x 10
Inductor Selection
In order to determine the inductance, the ripple current must
first be defined. Low inductor values allow for the use of
smaller package sizes but create higher ripple current which
can reduce efficiency. Higher inductor values will reduce the
ripple current and, for a given DC resistance, are more
efficient. However, larger inductance translates directly into
larger packages and higher cost. Cost, size, output ripple,
and efficiency are all used in the selection process.
The ripple current will also set the boundary for power save
operation. The SiC47x will typically enter power save mode
when the load current decreases to 1/2 of the ripple current.
For example, if ripple current is 1.8 A, power save operation
will be active for loads less than 0.9 A. If ripple current is set
at 30 % of maximum load current, power save will typically
start at a load which is 15 % of maximum current.
The inductor value is typically selected to provide ripple
current of 25 % to 50 % of the maximum load current. This
provides an optimal trade-off between cost, efficiency, and
transient performance. During the on-time, voltage across
the inductor is (VIN - VOUT). The equations for determining
inductance are shown below.
V OUT
t ON = -----------------------V IN x f sw
and
V IN - VOUT x t ON
L = -------------------------------------------------I OUT_MAX. x K
where, K is the maximum percentage of ripple current. The
designer can quickly make a choice of inductor if the ripple
percentage is decided, usually no more than 30 % however
higher or lower percentages of IOUT can be acceptable
SPending-Rev. A, 04-Jul-2018
depending on application. This device allows choices larger
than 30 %.
Other than the inductance the DCR and saturation current
parameters are key values. The DCR causes an I2R loss
which will decrease the system efficiency and generate
heat. The saturation current has to be higher than the
maximum output current plus ½ of the ripple current. In an
over current condition the inductor current may be very high.
All this needs to be considered when selecting the inductor.
Output Capacitor Selection
The SiC47x is stable with any type of output capacitors by
choosing the appropriate VRAMP components. This allows
the user to choose the output capacitance based on the
best trade off of board space, cost and application
requirements.
The output capacitors are chosen based upon required ESR
and capacitance. The maximum ESR requirement is
controlled by the output ripple voltage requirement and the
DC tolerance. The output voltage has a DC value that is
equal to the valley of the output ripple plus half of the
peak-to-peak ripple. A change in the output ripple voltage
will lead to a change in DC voltage at the output. The
relationship between output voltage ripple, output
capacitance and ESR of the output capacitor is shown by
the following equation:
1
V RIPPLE = I RIPPLE MAX. x --------------------------------- + ESR
8 x C o x f sw
(1)
Where VRIPPLE is the maximum allowed output ripple
voltage; IRIPPLE(MAX.) is the maximum inductor ripple current;
fsw is the switching frequency of the converter; Co is the total
output capacitance; ESR is the equivalent series resistance
of the total output capacitors.
In addition to the output ripple voltage requirement, the
output capacitors need to meet transient requirements. A
worst case load release condition (from maximum load to no
load at the exact moment when inductor current is at the
peak) determines the required capacitance. If the load
release is instantaneous (load changes from maximum to
zero within 1 μs), the output capacitor must absorb all the
energy stored in the inductor. The peak voltage on the
capacitor, VPK, under this worst case condition can be
calculated by following equation:
2
1
L x I OUT + --- x I RIPPLE(MAX.)
2
= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------2
2
V PK - V OUT
(2)
C OUT_MIN.
During the load release time, the voltage across the inductor
is approximately -VOUT. This causes a down-slope or falling
di/dt in the inductor. If the load di/dt is not much faster than
the di/dt of the inductor, then the inductor current will tend
to track the falling load current. This will reduce the excess
inductive energy that must be absorbed by the output
capacitor; therefore a smaller capacitance can be used. The
following can be used to calculate the required capacitance
for a given diLOAD/dt.

using all ceramic input capacitors.

1. Layout VIN and PGND planes as shown above
2. Ceramic capacitors should be placed between VIN and
PGND, and very close to the device for best decoupling
effect
1. Connect output inductor to device with large plane to
lower resistance
2. If any snubber network is required, place the
components on the bottom side as shown above
Step 4: VDD/VDRV Input Filter
3. Various ceramic capacitor values and package sizes
should be used to cover entire coupling spectrum
e.g. 1210 and 0603
4. Smaller capacitance values, closer to VIN pin(s), provide
better high frequency response

1. VCIN is the input pin for both internal LDO and tON block.
tON varies with input voltage and it is necessary to put a
decoupling capacitor close to this pin
1. CVDD cap should be placed between VDD and AGND to
achieve best noise filtering
2. The connection can be made through a via and the
capacitor can be placed at bottom layer
SPending-Rev. A, 04-Jul-2018
2. CVDRV cap should be placed close to VDRV and PGND pins
to reduce effects of trace impedance and provide
maximum instantaneous driver current for low side
MOSFET during switching cycle

1. CBOOT and RBOOT need to be placed very close to the
device, between PHASE and BOOT pins
2. In order to reduce parasitic inductance, it is
recommended to use 0402 chip size for the resistor and
the capacitor
Fig. 61
1. Separate the small analog signal from high current path.
As shown above, the high current paths with high dv/dt,
di/dt are placed on the left side of the IC, while the small
control signals are placed on the right side of the IC. All
the components for small analog signal should be
placed closer to IC with minimum trace length
2. IC analog ground (AGND), pin 23, should have a single
connection to PGND. The AGND ground plane connected
to pin 23 helps to keep AGND quiet and improves noise
immunity
3. Feedback signal can be routed through inner layer. Make
sure this signal is far from SW node and shielded by
inner ground layer

1. Thermal relief vias can be added on the VIN and PGND
pads to utilize inner layers for high current and thermal
dissipation
2. To achieve better thermal performance, additional vias
can be placed on VIN and PGND planes. It is also
necessary to duplicate the VIN and ground plane at
bottom layer to maximize the power dissipation
capability of the PCB
3. SW pad is a noise source and it is not recommended to
place vias on this pad
4. 8 mil vias on pads and 10 mil vias on planes are ideal via
sizes. The vias on pad may drain solder during assembly
and cause assembly issues. Please consult with the
assembly house for guideline

Fig. 63
1. It is recommended to make the entire inner layer (next to
top layer) ground plane
2. This ground plane provides shielding between noise
source on top layer and signal trace within inner layer
3. The ground plane can be broken into two sections, PGND
and AGND
