Application Note: SQ33068
6V to 75V Synchronous Buck Controller
With Wide Duty Cycle Range
Advanced Design Specification
General Description
Features
The SQ33068 is 75V synchronous buck controller with
type Ⅲ voltage mode control and feedforward.
Minimum tens of nanosecond on-time facilitates large
step-down ratios. The SQ33068 continues to operate
when input voltage decreases to as low as 6V.

VIN pin voltage determines whether SQ33068 enters
DEM to prevent reverse charging. Cycle-by-cycle over
current protection is accomplished by measuring the
voltage across the low-side MOSFET or current sense
resistor. Forced-PWM (FPWM) eliminates frequency
variation and a selectable diode emulation lowers power
consumption at light-load conditions. The switching
frequency as high as 1 MHz can be set or synchronized
to an external clock.

Note 1: Stresses beyond the listed “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are for
stress ratings. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational
sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may remain possibility to affect
device reliability.
Note 2: θJA is measured in the natural convection at TA=25ºC on a high effective four-layer PCB with thermal via according
with JESD 51-2, -5, -7, -8, -14 measurement standard.
