The SC4519H is a current mode switching regulator with
an integrated switch, operating at 600kHz with separate
sync and enable functions. The integrated switch allows
for cost effective low power solutions (peak switch current
3 amps). The sync function allows customers to
synchronize to a faster clock in order to avoid frequency
beating in noise sensitive applications. High frequency
of operation allows for very small passive components.
Current mode operation allows for fast dynamic response
and instantaneous duty cycle adjustment as the input
varies (ideal for CPE applications where the input is a
wall plug power).
The low shutdown current makes it ideal for portable
applications where battery life is important.
The SC4519H is a 600kHz switching regulator
synchronizable to a faster frequency from 750kHz to
1.2MHz.

The SC4519H is a current mode buck converter regulator.
SC4519H has an internal fixed-frequency clock. The
SC4519H uses two feedback loops that control the duty
cycle of the internal power switch. The error amplifier
functions like that of the voltage mode converter. The
output of the error amplifier works as a switch current
reference. This technique effectively removes one of the
double poles in the voltage mode system. With this, it is
much simpler to compensate a current mode converter
to have better performance. The current sense amplifier
in the SC4519H monitors the switch current during each
cycle. Overcurrent protection (OCP) is triggered when the
current limit exceeds the upper limit of 3A, detected by a
voltage on COMP greater than about 2V. When an OCP
fault is detected, the switch is turned off and the external
COMP capacitor is discharged at the rate of dv/dt = 3
. Once the COMP voltage has fallen below 250mV,
C
comp
the part enters a normal startup cycle. C
is the total
comp
capacitance value attached to COMP. In the case of
sustained overcurrent or dead-short, the part will
continually cycle through the retry sequence as described
above, at a rate dependent on the value of Ccomp. During
start up, the voltage on COMP rises roughly at the rate of
dv/dt = 120
µA/C
. Therefore, the retry time for a
comp
sustained overcurrent can be approximately calculated
as:

Oscillator
Its internal free running oscillator sets the PWM frequency
at 600kHz for the SC4519H without any external
components to program the frequency. An external clock
with a duty cycle from 20% to 80% connected to the
SYNC pin activates synchronous mode. The frequency
of the external clock can be from 700kHz to 1.2MHz.
UVLO
When the EN pin is pulled and held above 1.8V, the voltage
on Pin IN determines the operation of the SC4519H. As
increases during power up, the internal circuit senses

and the air cooling condition. Therefore, the maximum

on if the EN pin is pulled high.

Inductor Selection
The factors for selecting the inductor include its cost,
efficiency, size and EMI. For a typical SC4519H
application, the inductor selection is mainly based on its
value, saturation current and DC resistance. Increasing
the inductor value will decrease the ripple level of the
output voltage while the output transient response will
be degraded. Low value inductors offer small size and
fast transient responses while they allow large ripple
currents, poor efficiencies and require more output
capacitance for low output ripple. The inductor should
be able to handle the peak current without saturating
and its copper resistance in the winding should be as low
as possible to minimize its resistive power loss. A good
trade-off among its size, loss and cost is to set the
inductor ripple current to be within 15% to 30% of the
maximum output current.
The inductor value can be determined according to its
operating point under its continuous mode and the
switching frequency as follows:

After the required inductor value is selected, the proper
selection of the core material is based on the peak
inductor current and efficiency specifications. The core
must be able to handle the peak inductor current I
without saturation and produce low core loss during the
high frequency operation.
The power loss for the inductor includes its core loss and
copper loss. If possible, the winding resistance should
be minimized to reduce inductor’s copper loss. The core
must be able to handle the peak inductor current I
without saturation and produce low core loss during the
high frequency operation. The core loss can be found in
the manufacturer’s datasheet. The inductor’s copper loss
can be estimated as follows:

Output Capacitor Selection
Basically there are two major factors to consider in
selecting the type and quantity of the output capacitors.
The first one is the required ESR (Equivalent Series
Resistance) which should be low enough to reduce the
output voltage deviation during load changes. The second
one is the required capacitance, which should be high
enough to hold up the output voltage. Before the
SC4519H regulates the inductor current to a new value
during a load transient, the output capacitor delivers all
the additional current needed by the load. The ESR and
ESL of the output capacitor, the loop parasitic inductance
between the output capacitor and the load combined
with inductor ripple current are all major contributors to
the output voltage ripple. Surface mount ceramic
capacitors are recommended.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor selection is based on its ripple current
level, required capacitance and voltage rating. This

Because the input capacitor is exposed to the large surge

tantalum capacitors are used at the input side of the
converter, one needs to ensure that the RMS and surge
ratings are not exceeded. For generic tantalum
capacitors, it is suggested to derate their voltage ratings
at a ratio of about two to protect these input capacitors.

The internal driver of the switch requires a minimum 2.7V
to fully turn on that switch to reduce its conduction loss.
If the output voltage is less than 2.7V, the boost capacitor
can be connected to either the input side or an
independent supply with a decoupling capacitor. But the
Pin BST should not see a voltage higher than its maximum
rating.
Freewheeling Diode Selection
This diode conducts during the switch’s off-time. The diode
should have enough current capability for full load and
short circuit conditions without any thermal concerns.
Its maximum repetitive reverse block voltage has to be
higher than the input voltage of the SC4519H. A low
forward conduction drop is also required to increase the
overall efficiency. The freewheeling diode should be
turned on and off fast with minimum reverse recovery
because the SC4519H is designed for high frequency
applications. SS23 Schottky rectifier is recommended
for certain applications. The average current of the diode,

Layout Guidelines:
In order to achieve optimal electrical and thermal
performance for high frequency converters, special
attention must be paid to the PCB layouts. The goal of
layout optimization is to identify the high di/dt loops and
minimize them. The following guidelines should be used
to ensure proper operation of the converters.
1. A ground plane is suggested to minimize switching
noises and trace losses and maximize heat
transferring.
2. Start the PCB layout by placing the power components
first. Arrange the power circuit to achieve a clean
power flow route. Put all power connections on one
side of the PCB with wide copper filled areas if
possible.
3. The V
bypass capacitor should be placed next to
IN
the VIN and GND pins.
4. The trace connecting the feedback resistors to the
output should be short, direct and far away from any
noise sources such as switching node and switching
components.
5. Minimize the loop including input capacitor, the
SC4519H and freewheeling diode D2. This loop
passes high di/dt current. Make sure the trace width
is wide enough to reduce copper losses in this loop.
6. Maximize the trace width of the loop connecting the
inductor, freewheeling diode D2 and the output
capacitor.
7. Connect the ground of the feedback divider and the
compensation components directly to the GND pin
of the SC4519H by using a separate ground trace.
8. Connect Pin 4 to a large copper area to remove the
IC heat and increase the power capability of the
SC4519H. A few feedthrough holes are required to
connect this large copper area to a ground plane to
further improve the thermal environment of the
SC4519H. The traces attached to other pins should
be as wide as possible for the same purpose.
