55 A VRPower® Integrated Power Stage

DESCRIPTION

The SiC641 and SiC641A are high frequency integrated

power stage optimized for synchronous buck applications

to offer high current, high efficiency, and high power density

performance with very low shutdown current. Packaged in

Vishay’s proprietary 5 mm x 5 mm MLP package, SiC641

and SiC641A enable voltage regulator designs to deliver up

to 55 A continuous current per phase.

The internal power MOSFETs utilize Vishay’s latest

TrenchFET® technology that delivers industry benchmark

performance

to

significantly

reduce

switching

and

conduction losses.

The SiC641 and SiC641A incorporate an advanced

MOSFET gate driver IC that features high current driving

capability, adaptive dead-time control, an integrated

bootstrap switch, and user selectable zero current detection

to improve light load efficiency. The driver is also compatible

with a wide range of PWM controllers, supports tri-state

PWM, and 5 V and 3.3 V PWM logic.

The device also supports PS4 mode to reduce power

consumption when the system is in standby state.

The SiC641 and SiC641A offer operating temperature

monitoring, protection features, and warning flags that

improve system monitoring and reliability.
