Function Block Diagram
Operation
The RT7285C is a synchronous step-down converter with
advanced constant on-time control mode. Using the ACOT
control mode can reduce the output capacitance and fast
transient response. It can minimize the component size
without additional external compensation network.
Current Protection
The inductor current is monitored via the internal switches
cycle-by-cycle. Once the output voltage drops under UV
threshold, the RT7285C will enter hiccup mode.
UVLO Protection
To protect the chip from operating at insufficient supply
voltage, the UVLO is needed. When the input voltage of
VIN is lower than the UVLO falling threshold voltage, the
device will be lockout.
Thermal Shutdown
When the junction temperature exceeds the OTP
threshold value, the IC will shut down the switching
operation. Once the junction temperature cools down and
is lower than the OTP lower threshold, the converter will
autocratically resume switching.

Application information
Inductor Selection
Selecting an inductor involves specifying its inductance
and also its required peak current. The exact inductor value
is generally flexible and is ultimately chosen to obtain the
best mix of cost, physical size, and circuit efficiency.
Lower inductor values benefit from reduced size and cost
and they can improve the circuit's transient response, but
they increase the inductor ripple current and output voltage
ripple and reduce the efficiency due to the resulting higher
peak currents. Conversely, higher inductor values increase
efficiency, but the inductor will either be physically larger
or have higher resistance since more turns of wire are
required and transient response will be slower since more
time is required to change current (up or down) in the
inductor. A good compromise between size, efficiency,
and transient response is to use a ripple current (ΔIL) about
20% to 40% of the desired full output load current.
Calculate the approximate inductor value by selecting the
input and output voltages, the switching frequency (fSW),
the maximum output current (I
OUT(MAX)
) and estimating a
ΔIL as some percentage of that current.

Considering the Typical Operating Circuit for 1.2V output
at 1.5A and an input voltage of 12V, using an inductor
ripple of 0.6A (40%), the calculated inductance value is :

The ripple current was selected at 0.6A and, as long as
we use the calculated 3.6μH inductance, that should be
the actual ripple current amount. The ripple current and
required peak current as below :

Inductor saturation current should be chosen over IC's
current limit.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input filter capacitors are needed to smooth out the
switched current drawn from the input power source and
to reduce voltage ripple on the input. The actual
capacitance value is less important than the RMS current
rating (and voltage rating, of course). The RMS input ripple
current (I
RMS
) is a function of the input voltage, output
voltage, and load current :


Ceramic capacitors are most often used because of their
low cost, small size, high RMS current ratings, and robust
surge current capabilities. However, take care when these
capacitors are used at the input of circuits supplied by a
wall adapter or other supply connected through long, thin
wires. Current surges through the inductive wires can
induce ringing at the RT7285C input which could
potentially cause large, damaging voltage spikes at VIN.
If this phenomenon is observed, some bulk input
capacitance may be required. Ceramic capacitors (to meet
the RMS current requirement) can be placed in parallel
with other types such as tantalum, electrolytic, or polymer
(to reduce ringing and overshoot).
Choose capacitors rated at higher temperatures than
required. Several ceramic capacitors may be paralleled to
meet the RMS current, size, and height requirements of
the application. The typical operating circuit use 10μF and
one 0.1μF low ESR ceramic capacitors on the input.

Output Capacitor Selection
The RT7285C is optimized for ceramic output capacitors
and best performance will be obtained using them. The
total output capacitance value is usually determined by
the desired output voltage ripple level and transient response
requirements for sag (undershoot on positive load steps)
and soar (overshoot on negative load steps).
Output Ripple
Output ripple at the switching frequency is caused by the
inductor current ripple and its effect on the output
capacitor's ESR and stored charge. These two ripple
components are called ESR ripple and capacitive ripple.
Since ceramic capacitors have extremely low ESR and
relatively little capacitance, both components are similar
in amplitude and both should be considered if ripple is
critical.

Output Transient Undershoot and Overshoot
In addition to voltage ripple at the switching frequency,
the output capacitor and its ESR also affect the voltage
sag (undershoot) and soar (overshoot) when the load steps
up and down abruptly. The ACOT transient response is
very quick and output transients are usually small.
However, the combination of small ceramic output
capacitors (with little capacitance), low output voltages
(with little stored charge in the output capacitors), and
low duty cycle applications (which require high inductance
to get reasonable ripple currents with high input voltages)
increases the size of voltage variations in response to
very quick load changes. Typically, load changes occur
slowly with respect to the IC's 500kHz switching frequency.
For the Typical Operating Circuit for 1.2V output and an
inductor ripple of 0.46A, with 1 x 22μF output capacitance
each with about 5mΩ ESR including PCB trace resistance,
the output voltage ripple components are :
RIPPLE(ESR)
V = 0.46A 5m = 2.3mV
RIPPLE(C)
0.46A
V = = 5.227mV
822μF500kHz
RIPPLE
V = 2.3mV 5.227mV = 7.527mV
But some modern digital loads can exhibit nearly
instantaneous load changes and the following section
shows how to calculate the worst-case voltage swings in
response to very fast load steps.
The output voltage transient undershoot and overshoot each
have two components : the voltage steps caused by the
output capacitor's ESR, and the voltage sag and soar due
to the finite output capacitance and the inductor current
slew rate. Use the following formulas to check if the ESR
is low enough (typically not a problem with ceramic
capacitors) and the output capacitance is large enough to
prevent excessive sag and soar on very fast load step
edges, with the chosen inductor value.
The amplitude of the ESR step up or down is a function of
the load step and the ESR of the output capacitor :
V
ESR _STEP
= ΔI
OUT
x R
ESR
The amplitude of the capacitive sag is a function of the
load step, the output capacitor value, the inductor value,the
input-to-output voltage differential, and the maximum duty
cycle. The maximum duty cycle during a fast transient is
a function of the on-time and the minimum off-time since
the ACOTTM control scheme will ramp the current using
on-times spaced apart with minimum off-times, which is
as fast as allowed. Calculate the approximate on-time
(neglecting parasitics) and maximum duty cycle for a given
input and output voltage as :


IN SW ON OFF(MIN)
Vt
t = and D =
Vf t t
The actual on-time will be slightly longer as the IC
compensates for voltage drops in the circuit, but we can
neglect both of these since the on-time increase
compensates for the voltage losses. Calculate the output
voltage sag as :

Feed-forward Capacitor (Cff)
The RT7285C is optimized for ceramic output capacitors
and for low duty cycle applications. However for high-output
voltages, with high feedback attenuation, the circuit's
response becomes over-damped and transient response
can be slowed. In high-output voltage circuits (V
OUT
> 3.3V)
transient response is improved by adding a small “feed- forward capacitor (C
ff
) across the upper FB divider resistor
(Figure 1), to increase the circuit's Q and reduce damping
to speed up the transient response without affecting the
steady-state stability of the circuit. Choose a suitable
capacitor value that following below step.
Get the BW the quickest method to do transient
response form no load to full load. Confirm the damping
frequency. The damping frequency is BW.

Enable Operation (EN)
For automatic start-up the EN pin can be connected to
VIN, through a 100kΩ resistor. Its large hysteresis band
makes EN useful for simple delay and timing circuits. EN
can be externally pulled to VIN by adding a resistor-
capacitor delay (REN and CEN in Figure 2). Calculate the
delay time using EN's internal threshold where switching
operation begins (1.4V, typical).
An external MOSFET can be added to implement digital
control of EN when no system voltage above 2V is available
(Figure 3). 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. To prevent
enabling circuit when VIN is smaller than the VOUT target
value or some other desired voltage level, a resistive voltage
divider can be placed between the input voltage and ground

Output Voltage Setting
Set the desired output voltage using a resistive divider
from the output to ground with the midpoint connected to
FB. The output voltage is set according to the following

External BOOT Bootstrap Diode
When the input voltage is lower than 5.5V it is
recommended to add an external bootstrap diode between
VIN (or VINR) and the BOOT pin to improve enhancement
of the internal MOSFET switch and improve efficiency.
The bootstrap diode can be a low cost one such as 1N4148
or BAT54.
External BOOT Capacitor Series Resistance
The internal power MOSFET switch gate driver is
optimized to turn the switch on fast enough for low power
loss and good efficiency, but also slow enough to reduce
EMI. Switch turn-on is when most EMI occurs since VSW
rises rapidly. During switch turn-off, SW is discharged
relatively slowly by the inductor current during the
deadtime between high-side and low-side switch on-times.
In some cases it is desirable to reduce EMI further, at the
expense of some additional power dissipation. The switch

Over-Temperature Protection
The RT7285C 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
160°C. Once the junction temperature cools down by
approximately 20°C, the converter will resume operation.
To maintain continuous operation, the maximum junction
temperature should be lower than 125°C.
Under-Voltage Protection
Hiccup Mode
The RT7285C provides Hiccup Mode Under-Voltage
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 RT7285C will retry automatically. When the
UVP condition is removed, the converter will resume
operation. The UVP is disabled during soft-start period.

turn-on can be slowed by placing a small (<47Ω)
resistance between BOOT and the external bootstrap
capacitor. This will slow the high-side switch turn-on and
VSW's rise. To remove the resistor from the capacitor
charging path (avoiding poor enhancement due to
undercharging the BOOT capacitor), use the external diode
shown in figure 6 to charge the BOOT capacitor and place
the resistance between BOOT and the capacitor/diode
connection.

Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
P
D(MAX)
= (T
J(MAX)
TA) / θ
JA
where T
J(MAX)
is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and 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 resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
SOT-23-6 / TSOT-23-6 package, the thermal resistance,
θJA, is 160°C/W on a standard four-layer thermal test board.
The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be
calculated by the following formula :
P
D(MAX)
= (125°C − 25°C) / (160°C/W) = 0.625W for
SOT-23-6 / TSOT-23-6 package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T
J(MAX)
and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 7 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
Figure 7. Derating Curve of Maximum Power Dissipation
Layout Considerations
For best performance of the RT7285C, the following layout
guidelines must be strictly followed.
Input capacitor must be placed as close to the IC as
possible.
SW should be connected to inductor by wide and short
trace. Keep sensitive components away from this trace.
