DESCRIPTION
The SC1152 is a low-cost, full featured, synchronous
voltage-mode controller designed for use in single
ended power supply applicat ions where efficiency is of
primar y c onc er n. Synchronous operation allows for the
elimination of heat si nk s i n many applicati ons. The
SC1152 is ideal for implementing DC/DC converters
needed to power advanced microprocessors such as
Pentium
cessor configurations. Internal level-shif t, high-side
drive circuitry, and preset shoot-thru control, allows for
use of inexpensive n-channel power switches.
SC1152 featur es i nc lude an integrated 5-bit V
temperat ur e c ompensated voltage r eference, triangle
wave oscillator, current limit comparator, frequency
shift over-current protection, and an accessible, internally compensated error ampli fier. Power good signaling, logic compatibl e shutdown, and over voltage protection ar e also provided.
The SC1152 operates at a fixed 200KHz, providing an
optim um compromi se between efficiency, external
component siz e, and cost.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The v oltage at the V
input of the error ampli fier. The non-i nverting input of the error amplifier is supplied wit h a DC voltage derived by
the DAC fr om the internal t r immed bandgap voltage reference. The output of the error amplifier is compared to
the triangular output of the internal oscillator to generate a fix ed frequency, variable duty cycle pulse train. The
internal oscillator uses an on-chip capacitor and precision trimmed current sources to set the frequency to 200
kHz.
The generated pulse tr ain is gated with the output of the current limit latch and t he inhibit signal t o pr oduc e a
drive signal for the upper FET. It is also inverted to produce a drive signal for the lower FET. These FET drive
signals are modified by the “shoot-t hr ough c ontrol” circuitry so that the top FET t ur n- on is delayed until the bot tom
FET has turned off, and v isa-versa.
The current limit l atch is set (ending the upper FET dr ive pulse early) if the current limit comparator indicates an
overc ur r ent condition. The latch is reset at the start of each oscillator period.
The PWRGOOD and OVP signals are derived from the voltage at the V
internal feedback chain.
