RT7257A 3A, 18V, 340kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter General Description Features zz z zz 1.5% High Accuracy Reference Voltage The RT7257A is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous zz z zz 4.5V to 18V Input Voltage Range step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 3A zz z zz 3A Output Current output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The zz z zz Integrated N-MOSFET Switches RT7257A s current mode architecture and external zz z zz Current Mode Control compensation allow the transient response to be zz z zz Fixed Frequency Operation : 340kHz optimized over a wide input range and loads. Cycle-by- zz z zz Output Adjustable from 0.8V to 15V cycle current limit provides protection against shorted zz z zz Up to 95% Efficiency outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current surge during zz z zz Programmable Soft-Start start-up. The RT7257A also provides under voltage zz z zz Stable with Low ESR Ceramic Output Capacitors protection and thermal shutdown protection. The low zz z zz Cycle-by-Cycle Over Current Protection current (<3A) shutdown mode provides output zz z zz Input Under Voltage Lockout disconnection, enabling easy power management in zz z zz Output Under Voltage Protection battery-powered systems. The RT7257A is available in zz z zz Thermal Shutdown Protection an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package. zz z zz RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free Ordering Information Applications RT7257A z Wireless AP/Router Package Type z Set-Top-Box SP : SOP-8 (Exposed Pad-Option 1) z Industrial and Commercial Low Power Systems Lead Plating System Z : ECO (Ecological Element with z LCD Monitors and TVs Halogen Free and Pb free) z Green Electronics/Appliances H : UVP Hiccup z Point of Load Regulation of High-Performance DSPs L : UVP Latch-Off Pin Configurations Note : Richtek products are : (TOP VIEW) RoHS compliant and compatible with the current require- 8 BOOT SS ments of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. 2 7 VIN EN GND Suitable for use in SnPb or Pb-free soldering processes. 3 6 SW COMP 9 4 GND 5 FB Marking Information SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) RT7257AxZSP : Product Number RT7257Ax x : H or L ZSPYMDNN YMDNN : Date Code Copyright 2012 Richtek Technology Corporation.

Connect a 0.1F or greater ceramic 1 BOOT capacitor from BOOT to SW pins. Input Supply Voltage, 4.5V to 18V. Must bypass with a suitable large ceramic 2 VIN capacitor. 3 SW Switch Node. Connect this pin to an external L-C filter. 4, Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to GND 9 (Exposed Pad) GND for maximum power dissipation. Feedback Input. It is used to regulate the output of the converter to a set value 5 FB via an external resistive voltage divider. Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control 6 COMP loop. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND. In some cases, an additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required. Enable Input Pin. A logic high enables the converter a logic low forces the 7 EN RT7257A into shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 3A. Attach this pin to VIN with a 100k pull up resistor for automatic startup. Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor 8 SS from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1F capacitor sets the soft-start period to 13.5ms. Copyright 2012 Richtek Technology Corporation.
