The RT8259 is a high voltage buck converter that can support
the input voltage range from 4.5V to 24V and the output
current can be up to 1.2A. Current Mode operation provides
fast tra nsient response a nd ea ses loop sta bilization.
The chip also provides protection functions such a s cycleby-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown prote ction.
The RT8259 is available in a SOT-23-6 and TSOT-23-6
pack ages.
