RT8251

5A, 24V, 570kHz Step-Down Converter

General Description

The RT8251 is a monolithic step-down switch mode converter with a built-in internal power MOSFET. It achieves 5A continuous output current over a wide input supply range with excellent load and line regulation. Current mode operation provides fast transient response and eases loop stabilization.

The RT8251 provides protection functions such as cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown. In shutdown mode, the regulator draws 25μA of supply current. Programmable soft-start minimizes the inrush supply current and the output overshoot at initial startup. The RT8251 requires a minimum number of external components. The RT8251 is available in WQFN-16L 3x3 and SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) packages.

Pin Name

Pin Function

(Exposed Pad)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power Input. VIN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the

 

 

 

step-down converter switches. Connect VIN with a 4.75V to 24V

1, 2, 3, 15, 16

2

VIN

power source. Connect VIN to GND with a capacitor that the

 

 

 

capacitance is large enough to eliminate noise on the input to the

 

 

 

IC.

 

 

 

Ground. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output

 

 

 

voltage. For this reason, care must be taken in its layout. This

4,

4,

GND

node should be placed outside of the D1 to CIN ground path to

17 (Exposed Pad)

9 (Exposed Pad)

prevent switching current spikes from inducing voltage noise into

 

 

 

the part. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and

 

 

 

connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.

5

5

FB

Feedback Input. An external resistor divider from the output to

GND, tapped to the FB pin, sets the output voltage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Compensation Node. This node is the output of the

6

6

COMP

transconductance error amplifier and the input to the current

comparator. Frequency compensation is done at this node by

 

 

 

 

 

 

connecting a series R-C to ground.

 

 

 

Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or

7

7

EN

off. Drive EN higher than 1.4V to turn on the regulator, lower

than 0.4V to turn it off. For automatic startup, leave EN

 

 

 

 

 

 

unconnected.

 

 

 

Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft start period.

8

8

SS

Connect a capacitor ( 10nF) from SS to GND to set the

soft-start period. A 10nF capacitor sets the Soft-Start period to

 

 

 

 

 

 

1ms.

 

 

 

Bootstrap. This capacitor CBOOT is needed to drive the power

 

 

 

switch’s gate above the supply voltage. It is connected between

9

1

BOOT

the SW and BS pins to form a floating supply across the power

switch driver. The voltage across CBOOT is about 5V and is

 

 

 

 

 

 

supplied by the internal +5V supply when the SW pin voltage is

 

 

 

low.

 

 

 

Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies

10, 11, 12, 13,

3

SW

power to the output. Connect the output LC filter from SW to the

14

output load. Note that a capacitor is required from SW to BOOT

 

 

 

 

 

to power the high-side switch.

Note 1. Stresses beyond those listed “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may affect device reliability.

Note 2. θJA is measured at TA = 25°C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board per JEDEC 51-7. θJC is measured at the exposed pad of the package.

Note 3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.

Note 4. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
