50 A VRPower
®
Integrated Power Stage
DESCRIPTION
The SiC638 are integrated power stage solutions optimized
for synchronous buck applications to offer high current, high
efficiency, and high power density performance. Packaged
in Vishay’s proprietary
5 mm x 5 mm
MLP package, SiC638
enables voltage regulator designs to deliver up to 50 A
continuous current per phase.
The internal power MOSFETs utilizes Vishay’s
state-of-the-art Gen IV TrenchFET technology that delivers
industry benchmark performance to significantly reduce
switching and conduction losses.
The SiC638 incorporate an advanced MOSFET gate driver
IC that features high current driving capability, adaptive
dead-time control, an integrated bootstrap Schottky diode,
a thermal warning (THWn) that alerts the system of
excessive junction temperature, and zero current detection
to improve light load efficiency. The drivers are also
compatible with a wide range of PWM controllers and
supports tri-state PWM, 3.3 V / 5 V PWM logic.
