SC4603

POWER MANAGEMENT

Applications Information - (Cont.)

For a low voltage and high output current application such

as the 3.3V/1.5V@6A case, the conduction loss is often

dominant and selecting low R

DS(ON) MOSFETs will notice-

ably improve the efficiency of the converter even though

they give higher switching losses.

The gate charge loss portion of the top/bottom MOSFET’s

total power loss is derived from the SC4603. This gate

charge loss is based on certain operating conditions

s, VGATE, and IO).

The thermal estimations have to be done for both

MOSFETs to make sure that their junction temperatures

do not exceed their thermal ratings according to their

total power losses P

TOTAL, ambient temperature TA and their

thermal resistances

Rθ

as follows:

Loop Compensation Design:

For a DC/DC converter, it is usually required that the

converter has a loop gain of a high cross-over frequency

for fast load response, high DC and low frequency gain

for low steady state error, and enough phase margin for

its operating stability. Often one can not have all these

properties at the same time. The purpose of the loop

compensation is to arrange the poles and zeros of the

compensation network to meet the requirements for a

specific application.

The SC4603 has an internal error amplifier and requires

the compensation network to connect among the COMP

pin and VSENSE pin, GND, and the output as shown in

Figure 3. The compensation network includes C1, C2,

R1, R7, R8 and C9. R9 is used to program the output

voltage according to:

As indicated in Internal Reference Change section, the

internal reference voltage (measured at VSENSE pin)

changes slightly if the input voltage of the SC4603 is

away from 3.3V.

For example, if
