The Vishay Siliconix SiC414 and SiC424 are an advanced
stand-alone synchronous buck regulator featuring
integrated power MOSFETs, bootstrap switch, and an
internal 5 V
LDO
in a space-saving PowerPAK MLP44-28L
package.
The SiC414 and SiC424 are capable of operating with all
ceramic solutions and switching frequencies up to 1 MHz.
The programmable frequency, synchronous operation and
selectable power-save allow operation at high efficiency
across the full range of load current. The internal LDO may
be used to supply 5 V for the gate drive circuits or it may be
bypassed with an external 5 V for optimum efficiency and
used to drive external n-channel MOSFETs or other loads.
Additional features include cycle-by-cycle current limit,
voltage soft-start, under-voltage protection, programmable
over-current protection, soft shutdown, and selectable
power-save. The Vishay Siliconix SiC414 and SiC424 also
provides an enable input and a power good output.
FEATURES
• High efficiency > 95 %
• 6 A continuous output current capability
• Integrated bootstrap switch
• Integrated 5 V / 200 mA LDO with bypass logic
• Temperature compensated current limit
• Pseudo fixed-frequency adaptive on-time control
• All ceramic solution enabled
• Programmable input UVLO threshold
• Independent enable pin for switcher and LDO
• Selectable ultrasonic power-save mode (SiC414)
• Selectable power-save mode (SiC424)
• Internal soft-start and soft-shutdown
• 1 % internal reference voltage
• Power good output and over voltage protection
• PowerCAD Simulation software available at
www.vishay.com/power-ics/powercad-list/
• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance

DESCRIPTION
Feedback input for switching regulator used to program the output voltage - connect to an external
resistor divider from V
OUT
to A
GND
.
Bias input for internal analog circuits and gate drives - connect to external 3 V or 5 V supply or bias
connection to V
LDO
.
Analog ground.
Switcher output voltage sense pin, and also the input to the internal switch-over between V
OUT
and V
LDO
.
Input supply voltage.
5 V LDO output.
Bootstrap pin - connect a capacitor from BST to LXBST to develop the floating supply for the high-side
gate drive.
LX Boost - connect to the BST capacitor.
Switching (Phase) node.
Power ground.
Open-drain power good indicator. High impedance indicates power is good. An external pull-up resistor
is required.
Current limit sense pin - used to program the current limit by connecting a resistor from I
LIM
to LXS.
LX sense - connect to R
ILIM
resistor.
Enable / power save input for the switching regulator - connect to A
GND
to disable the switching regulator.
Float to operate in forced continuous mode (power save disabled).
For SiC414, connect to V5V to operate with ultrasonic power save mode enabled.
For SiC424, connect to V5V to operate with power save mode enabled with no minimum frequency.
On-time programming input - set the on-time by connecting through a resistor to A
GND
.
Enable input for the LDO - connect ENL to A
GND
to disable the LDO. Drive with logic to +3 V for logic
control, or program the V
IN
UVLO with a resistor divider between V
IN
, ENL, and A
GND
.

Notes
a. V
IN UVLO
is programmable using a resistor divider from V
IN
to ENL to A
GND
. The ENL voltage is compared to an internal reference.
b. Guaranteed by design.
c. The switch-over threshold is the maximum voltage differential between the V
LDO
and V
OUT
pins which ensures that V
LDO
will internally
switch-over to V
OUT
. The non-switch-over threshold is the minimum voltage differential between the V
LDO
and V
OUT
pins which ensures that
V
LDO
will not switch-over to V
OUT
d. The LDO drop out voltage is the voltage at which the LDO output drops 2 % below the nominal regulation point.
