SCT2452STER

SCT · DC-DC Converters · ESOP-8

SCT2452STER 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 Bootstrap supply for high-side power MOSFET gate driver. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor between BOOT and SW; the bootstrap cap is charged when the low-side MOSFET is on or SW is low. BOOT-SW UVLO threshold ≈ 2.36V.
2 VIN power_in Input supply voltage, 3.8V to 36V (42V transient max). Connect a local high-frequency bypass capacitor from VIN to GND as close as possible to the pin.
3 EN input Enable input with internal pull-up current source (~1.5µA at 1V). Pull below 1.1V to disable the converter; float or tie to VIN to enable. A VIN-to-GND resistor divider on EN sets a programmable input UVLO threshold (VEN_H ≈ 1.18V).
4 RT/CLK bidirectional Sets internal oscillator frequency or accepts an external clock. Resistor to GND programs Fsw from 100kHz to 1.1MHz (e.g. 200kΩ ≈ 500kHz); alternatively drive with an external clock (100kHz-1.1MHz) for PLL synchronization. Reverts to resistor-programmed frequency if the external clock stops.
5 FB input Inverting input of the transconductance error amplifier. Connect a resistor divider from VOUT to FB to GND; the loop regulates FB to VREF = 0.8V (typ, ±1%). Overvoltage protection trips at ~110% of VREF.
6 SS passive Soft-start programming pin. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND; internal ~3µA source current charges it to set the output voltage ramp time.
7 GND power_in Device ground. Common return for input bypass, output feedback, and control-circuit references.
8 SW power_out Switch node - regulator switching output. Connect to the external power inductor. Absolute range -1V to 38V; also the bootstrap capacitor return for the high-side driver.
9 Thermal Pad power_in Exposed thermal pad on the ESOP-8 package. Electrically connected to GND (pin 7). Must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for proper thermal performance.
