SCT2420STER

SCT · DC-DC Converters · ESOP-8

SCT2420STER from SCT, in a ESOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 BOOT power_in Power supply bias for the high-side power MOSFET gate driver. Connect a 0.1µF bootstrap capacitor from BOOT to SW. The capacitor is charged when the low-side MOSFET is on or SW voltage is low. Absolute max rating -0.3V to 46V; BOOT-SW max 6V.
2 VIN power_in Input supply voltage, 3.8V to 40V operating range (absolute max 42V). Connect a local high-frequency bypass capacitor from VIN to GND as close as possible.
3 EN input Enable pin with internal pull-up current source (1.5µA at 1V, 5.5µA at 1.5V). Pull below 1.1V to disable the converter; float or connect to VIN to enable. A resistor divider from VIN to GND on EN sets the input voltage lockout threshold. Enable high threshold typ. 1.18V.
4 RT/CLK bidirectional Sets the internal oscillator clock frequency or synchronizes to an external clock. Connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set switching frequency (100kHz to 2.2MHz; 200kΩ ≈ 500kHz). Alternatively drive with an external clock (100kHz-2.2MHz) for PLL synchronization; automatically reverts to resistor-programmed frequency if clock stops.
5 FB input Inverting input of the trans-conductance error amplifier. External feedback resistor divider from VOUT to GND sets the output voltage; device regulates FB to the internal 0.8V (±1%) reference.
6 COMP output Error amplifier output. Connect to the frequency loop compensation network (typically an R-C to GND). COMP high clamp 3V, low clamp 0.4V; EA transconductance 300µS.
7 GND power_in Device ground return. Tie to system ground plane along with the thermal pad.
8 SW output Regulator switching node. Connect to an external power inductor. Absolute max rating -0.3V to 42V.
9 Thermal Pad passive Exposed thermal pad on package underside - heat dissipation path from the die. Must be electrically connected to the GND pin and soldered to the PCB ground plane for proper operation and optimal thermal performance.
