SC4520
3A Step-Down Switching Regulator with
Adjustable Switching Frequency
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC4520 is a current mode switching regulator with
an integrated switch and an adjustable frequency with
enable function. The integrated switch allows for cost-
effective, low power solutions with a peak switch current
of 3 amps. An adjustable high frequency of 100kHz to
600kHz provides for fast dynamic response and
instantaneous duty cycle adjustment as the input varies,
making the device ideal for CPE applications where the
input is a wall plug power. Low shutdown current also
makes the this device an excellent choice for portable
applications where conserving battery life is of prime
concern.
