3A, 1MHz, Synchronous Step-Down Converter
RT8068A
General Description
The RT8068A is a high efficiency synchronous, step-down
DC/DC converter. It's input voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V
that provides an adjustable regulated output voltage from
0.6V to V
while delivering up to 3A of output current.
IN
The internal synchronous low on resistance power
switches increase efficiency and eliminate the need for
an external Schottky diode. The switching frequency is
fixed internally at 1MHz. The 100% duty cycle provides
low dropout operation, hence extending battery life in
portable systems. Current mode operation with internal
compensation allows the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.
The RT8068A is available in WDFN-10L 3x3 and SOP-8
(Exposed Pad) packages.

Pin Function
Power Good Indicator. This pin is an open drain logic output that is
pulled to ground when the output voltage is less than 90 % of the
target output voltage. Hysteresis = 5%.
Feedback Pin. Th is pin receives the feedback voltage from a
resistive voltage divider connected ac ross the output.
Signal Input Pin. Decouple th is pin to GND wit h a t least 1 F ceramic
cap.
Power Input Pin. Decouple this pin to GND with at least 4.7F
ceramic cap.
Ground. The exposed pa d must be soldered t o a large PCB and
connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
