SC4501MSETRT

Introduction

The SC4501MSETRT is a P-Channel MOSFET power IC from Nexperia and is used in DC-DC switching regulator applications. This IC offers a wide range of integrated features such as over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and over-temperature protection circuits. In addition, other features such as soft-start and reference step-down settings are included to ensure steady, reliable operation.

Application and Features

The SC4501MSETRT is ideal for use in DC-DC switch-mode power supply (SMPS) and DC-DC converters. It is also suitable for use in linear power supply and low voltage regulator designs. The device is capable of supplying currents up to 24A and voltages up to 72V. SPI, UART and I2C serial communications are supported.

Working Principle

The SC4501MSETRT employs a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control method to regulate switch-mode operations. It is designed to convert a DC input voltage into a regulated output voltage, by using a fixed frequency oscillator to determine the switch on/off times. The fixed frequency oscillator regulates the duty cycle, which is inversely proportional to the output voltage. The device also has a built-in current limit circuit to keep the peak current within a pre-set value.

Conclusion

The SC4501MSETRT is a versatile integrated circuit suitable for a variety of applications including DC-DC switch-mode power supplies and linear power supplies. It has a number of integrated features such as over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and over-temperature protection circuits, as well as SPI, UART and I2C serial communications. It also employs a PWM control method to regulate switch-mode operations, making it a reliable and efficient power IC.
