Description
The SC2443 is a high-frequency dual synchronous step-down switching power supply controller. It provides out-of-phase high-current output gate drives to all N-channel MOSFET power stages. The SC2443 operates in synchronous continuous-conduction mode. Both phases are capable of maintaining regulation with sourcing or sinking load currents, making the SC2443 suitable for generating both VDDQ and the tracking VTT for DDR applications.
