The RT8055 is a high efficiency synchronous, step-down
DC/DC converter. Its input voltage range is from 2.6V to
5.5V and provides a n adjustable regulated output voltage
from 0.8V to 5V while delivering up to 3A of output current.
The internal synchronous low on-resistance power
switches increase efficiency and eliminate the need for
an exter
set by an external resistor . The 100% duty cycle provides
low dropout operation extending battery life in portable
systems. Current mode operation with external
compensation allows the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loa ds and output ca pacitors.
The RT8055 is operated in forced continuous PWM Mode
which minimizes ripple voltage a nd reduces the noise and
RF interference.
The RT8055 is available in the WDFN-10L 3x3 and
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) packages.
