SIC402BCD-T1-GE3

The SIC402BCD-T1-GE3 is a linear and switching regulator integrated circuit. It is capable of supplying up to 6A of current with a wide variety of output voltages and includes features to manage over-current protection, over-temperature protection, output voltage accuracy and much more.

In its most basic form, the SIC402BCD-T1-GE3 is a linear and switching regulator that can take an input voltage between 4.5V and 15V and adjust it for an output voltage between 1.2V and 3.38V. It does this using several methods including pulse width modulation (PWM), pulse frequency modulation (PFM) and Hybrid Pulse Frequency Modulation (HPFM).

The PWM method works by switching the supply voltage on and off rapidly at a fixed frequency and duty cycle. This allows for a smooth voltage output at a preset level. The PFM works in a similar manner, but with a variable frequency and duty cycle, allowing for dynamic voltage regulation. The HPFM combines the best of both worlds, eliminating the need for complicated algorithms that require high-accuracy analog input offsets.

The SIC402BCD-T1-GE3 also includes several sophisticated protection mechanisms. The over-current protection prevents the regulator from delivering more current than it is designed for, protecting both the IC and the device it is powering. The SIC402BCD-T1-GE3 also includes thermal protection, which will shut off the output when the die temperature exceeds a preset threshold. This protection is adjustable, allowing the user to set the maximum allowable die temperature.

The SIC402BCD-T1-GE3 also has excellent output voltage accuracy and can be adjusted within ± 2.5%. This allows the user to set the output voltage precisely at the desired level. This precise voltage is actively regulated, meaning it can handle sudden changes in load current with little effect to the actual output voltage.

The SIC402BCD-T1-GE3 is a versatile regulator IC with a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in a variety of devices, from portable electronics to industrial applications. It can also be used in automotive, medical and military systems. It is an excellent building block for designs that require high performance, high efficiency, precise voltage control and sophisticated protection mechanisms.
