SC2677B
Dual Synchronous Voltage Mode
Controller with Current Sharing Circuitry
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC2677B is a versatile 2 phase, synchronous, voltage
mode PWM controller that can be used in two distinct ways.
First, the SC2677B is ideal for applications where point of
use output power exceeds any single input power budget.
Alternatively, the SC2677B can be configured as a dual
switcher. The SC2677B features a precise temperature
compensated voltage reference, cycle-by-cycle peak cur-
rent limit, under voltage lockout over current protection,
and internal level-shifted high-side gate drive circuitry.
In current sharing configuration, the SC2677B can pro-
duce a single output voltage from two separate input volt-
age sources (which can be different in voltage levels) while
maintaining current sharing between the two channels.
Current sharing is programmable to allow each input sup-
ply to be loaded differently per application requirements.
In dual switcher configuration, two feedback paths are pro-
vided for independent control of the separate outputs. The
device will provide a regulated output from flexibly config-
ured inputs, such as 3.3V, 5V, 12V etc. The phasing be-
tween the two switchers is adjustable to minimize the in-
put and output ripple.
