POWER MANAGEMENTApplications Information1N914) and a small (0.1µF – 0.47µF) ceramic capacitorcan be used. In Figure 7(a) the power switch isbootstrapped from the output. This is the most efficientconfiguration and it also results in the least voltage stressat the BST pin. The maximum BST pin voltage is about
OUTIN VV + . If the output is below 2.8V, then DBSTT willpreferably be a small Schottky diode (such as BAT-54) tomaximize bootstrap voltage. A 0.33-0.47µF bootstrapcapacitor may be needed to reduce droop. Benchmeasurement shows that using Schottky bootstrappingdiode has no noticeable efficiency benefit.
The SC4524 can also be bootstrapped from the input(Figure 7(b)). This configuration is not as efficient as Figure7(a). However this may be only option if the outputvoltage is less than 2.5V and there is no other supplywith voltage higher than 2.5V. Voltage stress at the BSTpin can be somewhat higher than 2VIN. The Zener diodein Figure 7(c) reduces the maximum BST pin voltage. TheBST pin voltage should not exceed its absolute maximumrating of 42V.
Figures 7(d) and (e) show how to bootstrap the SC4524from a second power supply VS with voltage > 2.5V.
Since the inductor current charges CBST, the bootstrapcircuit requires some minimum load current to get going.Figures 8(a) and 8(b) show the dependence of theminimum input voltage required to properly bootstrap a
5V and a 3.3V converters on the load current. Oncestarted the bootstrap circuit is able to sustain itself downto zero load.
Shutdown and Soft-Start
Pulling the soft-start pin below 0.8V with an open-collector NPN or an open-drain NMOS transistor turnsoff the regulator. In “Typical Characteristics”, the soft-start pin current is plotted against the soft-start voltagewith VIN = 5V. When the soft-start pin is pulled below 1V,105µA current flows out of the pin. Pulling the soft-startpin below 0.2V shuts off the internal bias circuit of theSC4524. The total VIN current decreases to 40µA. Inshutdown the SS pin sources only 2µA. A fast chargingcircuit (enabled by the internal bias circuit), which chargesthe soft-start capacitor below 1V, causes the differencein the soft-start pin currents.
If the SS pin is released in shutdown, the internal currentsource pulls up on the SS pin. When this SS voltagereaches 0.4V, the SC4524 turns on and the VIN quiescentcurrent increases to 3.5mA. The fast charging circuitquickly pulls the released soft-start capacitor to 1V(slightly below the switching threshold). The fast chargingcircuit is then disabled. A 1.8µA current source continuesto charge the soft-start capacitor (Figure 3). The soft-

POWER MANAGEMENTApplications Information
start voltage ramp at the SS pin clamps the error amplifieroutput (Figure 2). During regulator start-up, COMP voltagefollows the SS voltage. The converter starts to switchwhen its COMP voltage exceeds 1.1V. The peak inductorcurrent gradually increases until the converter outputcomes into regulation. Proper soft-start prevents outputovershoot during start-up. Current drawn from the inputsupply is also well controlled. Notice that the inductorcurrent, not the converter output voltage, is rampedduring soft-start.
The soft-start capacitor is charged to a final voltage ofabout 2.4V.
Overload / Short-Circuit Protection
The current limit comparator in the SC4524 limits thepeak inductor current to 3.2A (typical). The regulatoroutput voltage will fall if the load is increased above thecurrent limit. If overload is detected (the output voltagefalls below 70% of the set voltage), then the regulatorwill be shut off. An internal 0.8µA current sink starts todischarge the soft-start capacitor. As the soft-startcapacitor is discharged below 1V, the discharge currentsource turns off and the soft-start capacitor is rechargedwith a 1.8µA current source. The regulator undergoessoft-start. During soft-start (1V < VSS < 2V), the overloadshutdown latch in Figure 3 cannot be set. When VSS
exceeds 2V, the set input of the overload latch is no
