Programmable Frequency, 2A Output
30V Step-Down Switching Regulator
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC4524 is an adjustable frequency peak current-
mode step-down switching regulator with an integrated
2.3A, 30V switch. The SC4524 can be programmed up
to 1.5MHz. This allows the use of small inductor and
ceramic capacitors, resulting in very compact power
supplies. The SC4524 is suitable for next generation XDSL
modems, set-top boxes and point of load applications.

u
Up to 1.5 MHz Programmable Switching Frequency
2.3A Integrated Switch
Wide Input Voltage Range 2.8V to 30V
Peak Current-Mode Control with Cycle-by-Cycle
Current Limiting
Hiccup Overload Protection
Soft-Start and Enable
Thermal Shutdown
Thermally Enhanced 8-Pin SOIC Package
Fully WEEE and RoHS Compliant

The SC4524 uses peak current-mode PWM control for
ease of compensation. Cycle-by-cycle current limit and
u
hiccup overload protection reduce power dissipation
u
during overload. Combined soft start and enable pin not
only eliminates output start up overshoot but also allows
power sequencing.
The SC4524 is available in SOIC-8 EDP package.
