2A, 18V, 340kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT7247A is a high efficiency , monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 2A output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The RT7247A's current mode architecture and external compensation allow the transient response to be optimized over a wide input range and loads. Cycle-by­cycle current limit provides protection against shorted outputs, and soft-start eliminate s input current surge during start-up. The RT7247A also provides under voltage protection and thermal shutdown protection. The low current (<3μA) shutdown mode provides output disconnection, enabling easy power management in battery-powered systems. The RT7247A is available in an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) pa ckage.

Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
5 FB
Feedback Input. It is used to regulate the output of the converter to a set value via an external resistive voltage divider.
6 COMP
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control loop. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND. In some cases, an additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required.
7 EN
Enable Input. A logic high enables the converter; a logic low forces the IC 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.
8 SS
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1F capacitor sets the soft-start period to 13.5ms.

Operation
Shutdown Comparator
Activate internal regulator once EN input level is larger than the target level. Force IC to enter shutdown mode when the EN input level is lower tha n 0.4V.
Internal Regulator
Provide internal power for logic control and switch gate drivers.
Lockout Comparator
Activate the Current Comparator, release lock-out logic, and enable the switches as EN input level is larger than lockout voltage. Otherwise, the switches still locks out.
Oscillator
The oscillator provides internal clock and controls the converter's switching frequency.
Foldback Control
Dyna mically adjust the internal clock. It provides a slower frequency as a lower FB voltage.
UV Comparator
As FB voltage is lower than the UV voltage, it will a ctivate a UV protect scheme.
Error Amp
The output voltage COMP of the error a mplifier is adjusted comparing FB signal with the internal reference voltage and SS signal.
Current Sense Amplifier
R
SENSE
detects the peak current of the high-side switch. This signal is amplified by the Current Sense Amplifier and added with a Slope Compensation. Then, it controls the switches by comparing this signal with the COMP voltage.

Application Information
Output Voltage Setting
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output voltage as shown in Figure 1.

The output voltage is set by an external resistive voltage divider according to the following equation :

Where V
REF
is the reference voltage (0.8V typ.).
External Bootstrap Diode
Connect a 0.1μF low ESR ceramic ca pa citor between the BOOT pin and SW pin. This capacitor provides the gate driver voltage for the high side MOSFET .
It is recommended to add an external bootstrap diode between an external 5V and BOOT pin for efficiency improvement when input voltage is lower than 5.5V or duty ratio is higher than 65% .The bootstrap diode can be a low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54. The external 5V can be a 5V fixed input from syste m or a 5V output of the RT7247A. Note that the external boot voltage must be lower than 5.5V
Figure 2. External Bootstrap Diode
Chip Enable Operation
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin low (<0.4V) will shut down the device. During shutdown mode, the RT7247A quiescent current drops to lower than 3μA. Driving the EN pin high (>2V, <18V) will turn on the device again. For external timing control, the EN pin ca n also be externally pulled high by adding a REN resistor and CEN capa citor from the VIN pin (see Figure 3).
Soft-Start
The RT7247A provides soft-start function. The soft-start function is used to prevent large inrush current while converter is being powered-up. The soft-start timing ca n be programmed by the extern al capa citor between SS and GND. An internal current source I
SS
(6μA) charges an external ca pacitor to build a soft-start ra mp voltage. The VFB voltage will track the internal ra mp voltage during soft­start interval. The typical soft start time is calculated as follows :

An external MOSFET can be a dded to implement digital control on the EN pin when no system voltage above 2.5V is available, a s shown in Figure 4. In this case, a 100kΩ pull-up resistor, REN, is connected between VIN and the EN pin. MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control to pull down the EN pin.

Under Voltage Protection Hiccup Mode
For the RT7247AH, it provides Hiccup Mode Under V oltage Protection (UVP). When the VFB voltage drops below 0.4V , the UVP function will be triggered to shut down switching operation. If the UVP condition remains for a period, the RT7247AH will retry automatically. When the UVP condition is removed, the converter will resume operation. The UVP is disabled during soft-start period.
Figure 5. Hiccup Mode Under Voltage Protection
Latch-Off Mode
For the RT7247AL, it provides Latch-Off Mode Under Voltage Protection (UVP). When the FB voltage drops below half of the feedback reference voltage, VFB, UVP will be triggered and the RT7247AL will shut down in Latch­Off Mode. In shutdown condition, the RT7247AL can be reset by EN pin or power input VIN.

Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR losses in the output capa citors but also the output voltage ripple. High frequency with small ripple current ca n achieve the highest efficiency operation. However, it requires a large inductor to achieve this goal.
For the ripple current selection, the value of ΔI
L
= 0.24(I

) will be a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple
current occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the
Over Temperature Protection
The RT7247A features an Over Temperature Protection (OTP) circuitry to prevent from overheating due to excessive power dissipation. The OTP will shut down switching operation when junction temperature exceeds 150°C. Once the junction temperature cools down by approxi mately 20°C, the converter will resume operation. T o maintain continuous operation, the maximum junction temperature should be lower than 125°C.
Inductor Selection
The inductor value and operating frequency determine the ripple current according to a specific input and output voltage. The ripple current ΔI
L
increases with higher V

and decrea ses with higher inducta nce.

For the RT7247AN, it provides inductor current clamp mode.

Selection
The input capacitance, C

is needed to filter the trapezoidal current at the source of the high side MOSFET. T o prevent large ripple current, a low ESR in put capa citor sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The approxi mate RMS current equation is given :

/ 2. This simple worst case condition is commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief.
Choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet size or height requirements in the design.
For the input capacitor, two 10μF low ESR ceramic capacitors are suggested. For the suggested capacitor, please refer to Table 3 for more details.
The selection of C
OUT
is determined by the required ESR
to minimize voltage ripple. Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key
for C

selection to ensure that the control loop is stable.

The output ripple will be the highest at the maximum input voltage since ΔIL increases with input voltage. Multiple
cap a citors pla ced in parallel may be needed to meet the ESR and RMS current handling require ment. Higher values, lower cost ceramic ca pa citors are now becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal f or switching regulator applications. However, care must be taken when these cap acitors are used at in put and output. When a cera mic capacitor is used at the input and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output and be mista ken a s loop instability. At worst, a sudden inrush of current through the long wires can potentially cause a voltage spike at V
IN
large enough to damage the part.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed the maximum operation junction temperature 125°C. The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to a mbient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula :
P
D(MAX)
= (T
J(MAX)
− TA ) / θ
JA
Where T
J(MAX)
is the maximum operation junction
temperature , T
A
is the ambient temperature a nd the θ
JA
is
the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to ambient thermal re sistance θJA is layout dependent. For SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package, the thermal resistance
θ

The inductor's current rating (caused a 40°C temperature rising from 25°C ambient) should be greater than the maximum load current and its saturation current should be greater than the short circuit pea k current limit. Plea se see Table 2 for the inductor selection reference.
ripple current stays below the specified maximum, the inductor value should be chosen according to the following equation :
Loop stability can be checked by viewing the load tra nsient response as described in a later section.

(70mm2copper area PCB layout) The thermal resistance θJA of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is
determined by the package architecture design and the PCB layout design. However, the package architecture design ha s been designed. If possible, it's useful to increase thermal performance by the PCB layout copper design. The thermal resistance θ
JA
can be decreased by adding copper area under the exposed pad of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.
As shown in Figure 8, the amount of copper area to which the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is mounted affects thermal performance. When mounted to the standard SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) pad (Figure 8.a), θ
JA
is 75°C/W. Adding copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) (Figure 8.b) reduces the θ
JA
to 64°C/W. Even further , increa sing the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 8.e) reduces the θ
JA
to 49°C/W.
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed T
J(MAX)
and thermal resistance θJA. The Figure 9 of derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation allowed.

Layout Consideration
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performa nce of the RT7247A.
Keep the traces of the main current paths as short and
wide as possible.
Put the input ca pacitor a s close a s possible to the device
pins (VIN a nd GND).
SW node is with high frequency voltage swing and
should be kept at small area. Keep analog components away from the SW node to prevent stray ca pacitive noise pick-up.
Connect feedback network behind the output ca pacitors.
Keep the loop area small. Place the feedback components near the RT7247A.
An example of PCB layout guide is shown in Figure 10
for reference.
