SCT2A23ASTER

SCT · DC-DC Converters · ESOP-8

SCT2A23ASTER 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 GND power_in Ground return. Electrically connected to the exposed thermal pad (pin 9).
2 VIN power_in Input supply voltage, 4.5V to 100V operating range (absolute max 105V). Connect a local bypass capacitor from VIN to GND; path from VIN to the high-frequency bypass capacitor and GND must be as short as possible.
3 EN input Enable input to the regulator, with internal pull-up current source. Float or tie to VIN to enable; pull below 1.23V to disable. A resistor divider from VIN to GND on EN programs the input UVLO threshold (VEN_H ≈ 1.24V, VEN_L ≈ 1.23V; IEN ≈ 17µA at 1.5V).
4 MODE input Light-load operation mode selection. Connect to VCC via a resistor for Forced PWM (FPWM, VMD_PWM ≥ 4.65V); ground for PFM (VMD_PFM ≤ 0.5V); leave floating for Ultrasonic Mode (USM, 1.5V-3.5V).
5 FB input Inverting input of the internal PWM comparator. Tap of an external feedback resistor divider from VOUT to GND sets the output voltage; regulated to VREF = 1.2V typical (1.176V-1.224V).
6 VCC power_out Output of the internal high-voltage LDO regulator (typ 7.3V), used to bias gate drivers and internal circuitry. Decouple with a capacitor larger than 1.0µF to GND.
7 BST passive Bootstrap supply for the high-side MOSFET gate driver. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from BST to SW; the bootstrap cap is charged when the low-side MOSFET is on or SW is low. Absolute max BOOT-SW = 6V.
8 SW power_out Regulator switching output node between the internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs. Connect to the external power inductor. Absolute max -1V to 105V.
9 Thermal Pad power_in Exposed thermal pad, heat dissipation path of the die. Electrically connected to GND (pin 1); must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for proper operation and optimized thermal performance.
