About this manual

The SC1144 is a high-performance, multi-phase PWM controller designed for high-power microprocessors requiring ultra-fast transient response, such as the Pentium II and beyond. It utilizes a unique design to distribute the output load across up to four converter channels by digitally phase-shifting the PWM outputs, which reduces stress on components and lowers input ripple current.

Key features include selectable 2, 3, or 4-phase operation, a programmable output voltage via a 5-bit DAC, and the ability to use either an internal or external clock. The device also offers soft-start capability, over-current protection, and a floating feedback ground for remote sensing.
