Description
The SC631 is a high-current voltage regulator using
Semtechs proprietary low-noise charge pump technol-
ogy. Performance is optimized for use in single Li-Ion
battery cell applications. The regulator provides the per-
formance of a linear, low drop-out (LDO) voltage regulator
when the input is greater than 4.4V. Unlike an LDO, drop-
out is avoided when the input is less than 4.4V. Instead, a
charge pump is activated to provide voltage boost and
the head-room needed for voltage regulation.
Only two 2.2
µF bucket capacitors are required to deliver
the full output current. The charge pump provides a low
EMI solution compared to inductive boost regulators.
The SC631’s charge pump has three modes of operation:
2x, 1.5x, and 1x modes. The 2x and 1.5x modes deliver
current to the load in each of two phases. The 1x mode
turns o the charge pump, delivering current through an
LDO. When active, the charge pump provides low-ripple
operation at 200kHz, which is typically less than 30mVpp
at the output. The SC631 is capable of delivering 250mA
continuous current, with peak current to 500mA. A 22
µF
output capacitor is used for decoupling the load and for
smoothing mode transitions. Hysteresis is provided to
prevent chatter between charge pump modes.
The micro lead-frame package is both small and thermally
e cient, measuring 2 x 2 x 0.6 (mm).
