RP506L Series AEC-Q100 Compliant 2 A PWM/VFM Step-down DC/DC Converter with Synchronous Rectifier for Automotive Applications No. EC-296-210909 OUTLINE The RP506L is a low supply current CMOS-based PWM/VFM step-down DC/DC converter with synchronous (1) rectifier featuring 2 A output current. Internally, a single converter consists of an oscillator, a reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, a switching control circuit, a mode control circuit, a soft start circuit, a latch type protection circuit, an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit, a thermal shutdown circuit, and switching transistors. The RP506L is employing synchronous rectification for improving the efficiency of rectification by replacing diodes with built-in switching transistors. Using synchronous rectification not only increases circuit performance but also allows a design to reduce parts count. Power controlling method can be selected from forced PWM control type or PWM/VFM auto switching control type by inputting a signal to the MODE pin. In low output current, forced PWM control switches at fixed frequency rate in order to reduce noise. Likewise, in low output current, PWM/VFM auto switching control automatically switches from PWM mode to VFM mode in order to achieve high efficiency. Output voltage type can be selected from an internally fixed output voltage type (RP506Lxx1G/H/K/L) or an externally adjustable output voltage type (RP506L001N/M). The output voltage accuracy of the RP506Lxx1G/H/K/L is as high as 1.5% or 18 mV. The output voltage of the RP506L001N/M can be set by using the external resistors. Oscillator frequency can be selected from 2.3 MHz (RP506Lxx1G/H//N) or 1.2 MHz (RP506Lxx1K/L/M). Soft- start time is Typ. 150 s, and by connecting an external capacitor to the TSS pin, soft-start time is adjustable. Power good (PG) function monitors the V pin voltage or the feedback pin voltage (V ), and switches the OUT FB PG pin to low if any abnormal condition is detected. Protection circuits included in the RP506L are over current protection circuit, latch type protection circuit and thermal shutdown circuit. Over current protection circuit supervises the inductor peak current in each switching cycle, and if the current exceeds the L current limit (I ), it turns off Pch Tr. Latch type protection circuit X LXLIM latches the built-in driver to the OFF state and stops the operation of the step-down DC/DC converter if the over current status continues or V continues being the half of the setting voltage for equal or longer than OUT protection delay time (tprot). Thermal shutdown circuit detects overheating of the converter if the output pin is shorted to the ground pin (GND) etc. and stops the converter operation to protect it from damage if the junction temperature exceeds the specified temperature. The RP506L is available in DFN3030-12 which achieves high-density mounting on boards. (1) This is an approximate value. The output current is dependent on conditions and external components. 1 RP506L No. EC-296-210909 FEATURES Input Voltage Range (Maximum Rating) 2.5 V to 5.5 V (6.5 V) Operating Temperature Range 40C to 105C (RP506Lxx1x-TR-A) 40C to 125C (RP506Lxx1x-TR-K) Supply Current Typ. 48 A (VFM mode, Lx at no load) Standby Current Typ. 0 A (1) Output Voltage Range Version Forced PWM Control PWM/VFM Auto Switching Control RP506Lxx1G/H 1.1 V to 3.3 V 0.8 V to 3.3 V RP506L001N 1.1 V to 4.0 V 0.8 V to 4.0 V RP506Lxx1K/L 0.8 V to 3.3 V RP506L001M 0.6 V to 4.0 V (2) Output Voltage Accuracy 1.5% (V 1.2 V), SET 18 mV (VSET < 1.2 V) (RP506Lxx1G/H/K/L) Feedback Voltage Accuracy 9 mV (V = 0.6 V) (RP506L001N/M) FB Output Voltage/Feedback Voltage Temperature Coefficient 100 ppm/C Oscillator Frequency Typ. 2.3 MHz (RP506Lxx1G/H//N) Typ. 1.2 MHz (RP506Lxx1K/L/M) Oscillator Maximum Duty Min. 100% Built-in Driver ON Resistance Typ.
