The output an ideal capacitor in series with its parasitic ESR and inductor selection/design is based on the output DC ESL as shown in Figure 4. and transient requirements. Both output current and voltage ripples are reduced with larger inductance but it takes longer to change the inductor current during load transients. Conversely smaller inductance Co Lesl Resr results in lower DC copper losses but the AC core losses (flux swing) and the winding AC resistance losses are higher.

P P P P Po o o o ow w w w wer Stage er Stage er Stage er Stage er Stage 1) Separate the power ground from the signal ground. In SC2544 design, use an isolated local ground plane for the controller and tie it to power grand. 2) Minimize the size of the high pulse current loop. Keep the top MOSFET, the bottom MOSFET and the input capacitors within a small area with short and wide traces. In addition to the aluminum energy storage capacitors, add multi-layer ceramic (MLC) capacitors from the input to the power ground to improve high frequency bypass. 3) Reduce high frequency voltage ringing. Widen and shorten the drain and source traces of the MOSFETs to reduce stray inductances. Add a small RC snubber if necessary to reduce the high frequency ringing at the phase node. Sometimes slowing down the gate drive signal also helps in reducing the high frequency ringing at the phase node if the EMI is a concern for the system. 4) Shorten the gate drive trace. Integrity of the gate drive (voltage level, leading and falling edges) is important for circuit operation and efficiency. Short and wide gate drive traces reduce trace inductances. Bond wire inductance is about 2~3nH. If the length of the PCB trace from the gate driver to the MOSFET gate is 1 inch, the trace inductance will be about 25nH. If the gate drive current is 2A with 10ns rise and falling times, the voltage drops across the bond wire and the PCB trace will be 0.6V and 5V respectively. This may slow down the switching transient of the MOSFET’s. These inductances may also ring with the gate capacitance. 5) Put the decoupling capacitor for the gate drive power supplies (BST and PVCC) close to the IC and power ground.  2005 Semtech Corp. 17 www.semtech.com SC2544 POWER MANAGEMENT Typical Application Circuit SC2544MLTRT VO2 U1 SC2544 VIN+ R2 10K C1 1uF/25V 1 24 VIN AGND VCC C2 1uF/16V 2 23 R3 73.2K VCC ROSC 3 22 EN EN PWRGD PWGRD 4 21 FB1 FB2 FB1 FB2 SS1 SS2 1n C4 C3 1n 5 20 ERROUT1 ERROUT2 C9 4.7n 470nF 18k C12 4.7n R4 C11 C10 220nF 6 19 R5 18k SS1 SS2 R6 R7 4.7K 7 18 4.7K ILIM1 ILIM2 C17 1uF/16V C32 N.P. 8 17 C18 1uF/16V C33 N.P.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Elite.Parts unique?

chervon down
At GID Industrial (Elite.Parts' parent company), we specialize in procuring industrial parts. We know where to find the rare and obsolete equipment that our customers need in order to get back to business. There are other companies who claim to do what we do, but we're confident that our commitment to quality and value is unparalleled in our field.

What kind of warranty will the SC2544 have?

chervon down
Warranties differ by part and by which suppliers we use to procure it for you. Sometimes, a part will be sold as-is and without a warranty. Our specialty, single board computers, tend to receive a one-year warranty.

Which carriers does Elite.Parts work with?

chervon down
Elite.Parts can ship via FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS. We have accounts with each of them and generally ship using one of those, but we can also ship using your account if you would prefer. However, we can use other carriers if it will be more convenient for you.

Will Elite.Parts sell to me even though I live outside the USA?

chervon down
Absolutely! We are happy to serve customers regardless of location. We work with international clients all the time, and we are familiar with shipping to destinations all across the globe.

I have a preferred payment method. Will Elite.Parts accept it?

chervon down
All major credit cards are accepted: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. We will also accept payment made with wire transfer or PayPal. Checks will only be accepted from customers in the USA. Terms may available for larger orders, upon approval.

EXCELLENT SERVICE

star star star star star

With our strict fundamentals and high expectations, we were surprised when we came across GID Industrial and their competitive pricing. When we approached them with our issue, they were incredibly confident in being able to provide us with a seamless solution at the best price for us. GID Industrial quickly understood our needs and provided us with excellent service, as well as fully tested product to ensure what we received would be the right fit for our company.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER

star star star star star

Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.

CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS

star star star star star

Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.
