Digitally Controlled EcoSpeed™ DC-DC Converter Flexible, High-Performance Solution for Complex Power Management Requirements
PWM controller with I2C interface provides ultra-fast transient response and high efficiency with the flexibility of digital control. Description
The SC493 combines Semtech’s Patented(1) EcoSpeed™ adaptive on-time (AOT) controller core with I2C configuration and diagnostics functions delivering the benefits of highperformance analog and the flexibility of digital control. Pure analog controllers can provide high performance, but lack flexibility. Some controllers offer digital flexibility using fully digital topologies that require high-speed ADCs and
power-hungry DSPs. The SC493 wraps Semtech’s best-inclass, EcoSpeed AOT core with a digital interface to deliver ultra-fast transient response, high efficiency across light to full power loads and the flexibility of digital control. The SC493 does not require external compensation components and works with any type of output capacitor, providing a simple, flexible, space-saving and cost-effective power management solution.

Product Brief Digital Voltage Margining
Digital Output Voltage Offset Configuration
Many designers enhance system reliability by conducting voltage margining during the final test phase of product manufacture. Margining is achieved by raising and lowering the supply voltages to stress test the system. The SC493 enables users to digitally control margining up to ±10% from nominal.
The SC493 features a separate configuration function allowing users to fine-tune the output voltage in increments of 0.75% from nominal, up to a maximum of ±9%. This offset can be combined with the voltage margining for even greater offsets.
