Semtech SC1159 Programmable Synchronous DC/DC Hysteretic Controller Datasheet

The SC1159 is a programmable synchronous DC/DC hysteretic controller designed for use in single ended power supply applications where efficiency is the primary concern. It is ideal for implementing DC/DC converters needed to power advanced microprocessors such as Pentium III and Athlon, in both single and multiple processor configurations. The controller features an integrated 5-bit D/A converter, temperature compensated voltage reference, current limit comparator, over-current protection, and an adaptive deadtime circuit to prevent shoot-through of the power MOSFET during switching transitions. It also provides power good signaling, logic compatible shutdown, and over-voltage protection.
