Introduction
General Product Information
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 range of loads and output capacitors.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current surge
during start-up. The RT7247A also provides output 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) package.

Power-up & Measurement Procedure
1. Apply a 12V nominal input power supply (4.5V < VIN < 18V) to the VIN and GND terminals.
2. The EN voltage is pulled to logic high by R4 (100kΩ to VIN) to enable operation. Drive EN high (>2.0V) to
enable operation or low (<0.4V) to disable operation.
3. Verify the output voltage (approximately 3.3V) between VOUT and GND.
4. Connect an external load up to 2A to the VOUT and GND terminals and verify the output voltage and current.
Output Voltage Setting
Set the output voltage with the resistive divider (R1, R2) between VOUT and GND with the midpoint connected to
FB. The output is set by the following formula:
OUT
R1
V = 0.8 x (1 + )
R2
The installed VOUT capacitors (C4, C5) are 22μF, 16V X5R ceramic types. Do not exceed their operating voltage
range and consider their voltage coefficient (capacitance vs. bias voltage) and ensure that the capacitance is
sufficient to maintain stability and provide sufficient transient response for your application. This can be verified by
checking the output transient response as described in the RT7247A IC datasheet.
