The SC1153 is a low-cost, full featured, synchronous
voltage-mode controller designed for use in single
ended power supply applications where efficiency is of
primary concern. Synchronous operation allows for the
elimination of heat sinks in many applications. The
SC1153 is ideal for implementing DC/DC converters
needed to power advanced microprocessors, such as
Pentium
figurations. Internal level-shift, high-side drive circuitry,
and preset shoot-thru control, allows for use of inexpensive n-channel power switches.
SC1153 features include an integrated 5-bit VID
temperature compensated voltage reference, triangle
wave oscillator, current limit comparator, frequency
shift over-current protection, and an accessible, internally compensated error amplifier. Power good signaling, logic compatible shutdown, and over voltage protection are also provided.
The SC1153 operates at a fixed 200KHz, providing an
optimum compromise between efficiency, external
component size, and cost.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The voltage at the VOSENSE pin is applied, through the internal precision resistor feedback chain, to the inverting
input of the error amplifier. The non-inverting input of the error amplifier is supplied with a DC voltage derived by
the DAC from the internal trimmed bandgap voltage reference. The output of the error amplifier is compared to the
triangular output of the internal oscillator to generate a fixed frequency, variable duty cycle pulse train. The internal
oscillator uses an on-chip capacitor and precision trimmed current sources to set the frequency to 200kHz.
The generated pulse train is gated with the output of the current limit latch and the inhibit signal to produce 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-through control” circuitry so that the top FET turn-on is delayed until the bottom FET has
turned off, and visa-versa.
The current limit latch is set (ending the upper FET drive pulse early) if the current limit comparator indicates an
overcurrent condition. The latch is reset at the start of each oscillator period.
The PWRGOOD and OVP signals are derived from the voltage at the VOSENSE pin by comparators fed from the
internal feedback chain.
