1.5MHz, 600mA, High Efficiency PWM Step-Down DC/DC
Converter
General Description
The RT8008 is a high-efficiency pulse-width-modulated
(PWM) step-down DC/DC converter . Ca pable of delivering
600mA output current over a wide input voltage ra nge from
2.5V to 5.5V, the RT8008 is ideally suited for portable
electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell Li-ion
battery or from other power sources within the range such
a s cellular phones, PDAs and ha ndy-terminals.
Internal synchronous rectifier with low R
DS(ON)
dramatically
reduces conduction loss at PWM mode. No external
Schottky diode is required in practical application. The
RT8008 automatically turns off the synchronous rectifier
while the inductor current is low and enters discontinuous
PWM mode. This can increase efficiency at light load
condition.
The RT8008 enters Low-Dropout mode when normal PWM
cannot provide regulated output voltage by continuously
turning on the upper P-MOSFET . RT8008 enter shutdown
mode and consumes less tha n 0.1μA when EN pin is pulled
low.
The switching ripple is easily smoothed-out by small
package filtering elements due to a fixed operation
frequency of 1.5MHz. This along with small SOT-23-5 a nd
TSOT-23-5 pa ckage provides small PCB area a pplication.
Other features include soft start, lower internal reference
voltage with 2% accuracy, over temperature protection,
and over current protection.
