The RT8299 is a high efficiency , monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter with internal power MOSFETs.
It achieves 3A of continuous output current over a wide
input supply range from 3V to 24V with excellent load and
line regulation. Current mode operation provides fast
transient response and eases loop stabilization. Cycleby-cycle current limit provides protection against shorted
outputs and soft-start eliminate s input current surge during
start-up. Thermal shutdown provides reliable, fault tolera nt
operation. The low current shutdown mode provides output
disconnection, enabling ea sy power management in battery
powered systems.

Feedback Input. This pin is connected to the conv erter output . It
is used to regula te the output of the conver t er to a desired value
via an inter nal res istive voltage divider . F or an adj ustable output,
an external resistive voltage divider is connected to t his pin.
Enable Input. A logic high enables the converter; a logic low
forces the RT8299 into shutdown mode, reducing the supply
current to less than 3A. Attach th is pin to VIN with a 100k pul l
