Applications
z
COMP3
RT9903 is available in VQFN-24L 4x4 package. Each
DC-DC converters have independent shutdown inputs.
z
FB3
The feature of the charge pump (CH5) is to deliver few
current to CCD negative voltage.
z
COMP4
The two Step-up DC-DC converters (CH1,CH2) accept
inputs from 1.5V to 5.5V and regulate a resistoradjustable output up to 17V. One Step-up DC-DC
converter (CH3) can be regarded as white LED Driver,
which reference voltage is 0.2V and have OVP function.
One step-up DC-DC converter (CH4) regulate a resistoradjustable output up 5V. An adjustable operating
frequency (up to 1.4MHz) is utilized to get optimum size,
cost, and efficiency.

Note 1. Stresses listed as the above “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
for stress ratings. 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 for extended
periods may remain possibility to affect device reliability.
Note 2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
Note 3. θJA is measured in the natural convection at T A = 25°C on a low effective thermal conductivity test board of
JEDEC 51-3 thermal measurement standard.
Note 4. Pull low EN1, EN2 and EN4 when they are not enabled. EN3 pin is automatically pulled low when not enabled.

RT9903
Preliminary
Application Information
The RT9903 is a five-Channel DC/DC converter for digital
still cameras and other hand-held device. The five
channels DC/DC converters are as follows:
CH1: Step-up, asynchronous voltage mode DC/DC
converter with an internal power MOSFET, current limit
protection, and over voltage protection. This channel is
designed to supply output voltage from 3.3V to 17V.
CH2: Step-up, asynchronous voltage mode DC/DC
converter with an internal power MOSFET, current limit
protection, and over voltage protection. This channel is
designed to supply output voltage from 3.3V to 17V. At
the same time, it supplies the power for charge pump of
CH5.
CH3: Step-up, asynchronous current mode DC/DC
converter with an internal power MOSFET, current limit
protection, and over voltage protection. This channel is
designed to light 2~4 WLEDs with constant current
regulation, and the lightness can be dimming-controlled
by the duty of EN3 pin.
CH4: Step-up, asynchronous current mode DC/DC
converter with current limit protection. This channel is
designed to drive external N-MOS switch for steppingup voltage.
CH5: Charge-pump, to supply negative voltage. This
channel is enabled at the same time as CH2.
Soft-Start
CH1, CH2, and CH4 can be soft-started individually every
time when the channel is enabled. Soft-start is achieved
by ramping up the PWM duty from very small to normal
operation. The ramping up PWM duty is achieved by
sourcing 1uA from error amplifier to the compensation
capacitor. When the output voltage is regulated, the PWM
duty enters the normal operation, and the error amplifier
can sink and source up to 22uA.
The soft-start time is set by the following formula:
TSOFT-START =
(1V - 1uA x RCOMP) x CCOMP
1uA
RCOMP and CCOMP are compensation components.

Oscillator
The internal oscillator synchronizes CH1, CH2, CH3 and
CH4 PWM operation frequency. The operation frequency
is set by a resistor between RT pin to ground, ranging
from 500kHz to 1.4MHz.
Step-up (Boost) DC/DC Converter (CH1)
The channel (CH1) is a step-up voltage-mode DC/DC PWM
converter with built-in internal power MOS and external
schottky diode. Output voltage is regulated and adjustable
up to 17V. This channel is designed to supply several
tens mA current.
The maximum duty of the constant frequency is 96% for
this channel to prevent high input current drawn from
input.
Protection
Current Limit
The current of NMOS is sensed cycle by cycle to prevent
over current. When over current limit, then the NMOS is
off. This state is latched and then reset automatically at
next clock cycle.
Over Voltage
The over voltage protection prevents LX1 voltage going
too high. The over-voltage is detected by the junction
leakage and the threshold value is around 22V. This
channel is latched shut down when OVP occurs, and can
be reset by toggling EN1.
Step-up (Boost) DC/DC Converter (CH2)
The channel (CH2) is a step-up voltage-mode DC/DC PWM
converter with built-in internal power MOS and external
schottky diode. Output voltage is regulated and adjustable
up to 17V. This channel is designed to supply several
tens mA current.
The output voltage of this channel supplies the power of
charge-pump of CH5.

Preliminary
The current of NMOS is sensed cycle by cycle to prevent
over current. When over current limit, then the NMOS is
off. This state is latched and then reset automatically at
next clock cycle.
At light load, efficiency is enhanced by pulse-skipping
mode. In this mode, the external NMOS turns on by a
constant pulse width. As loading increased, the converter
operates at constant frequency PWM mode. The
maximum duty of the constant frequency is 80% for the
boost to prevent high input current drawn from input.
Over Voltage
Protection
The over voltage protection prevents LX2 voltage going
too high. The over-voltage is detected by the junction
leakage and the threshold value is around 22V. This
channel is not latched shut down when OVP occurs.

The current of NMOS is sensed cycle by cycle to prevent
over current. The current is sensed by CS4 pin to
determine whether it reaches current limit threshold.
When CS4 voltage is higher than 0.4V, the external
NMOS is off. This state is latched and then reset
automatically at next clock cycle.
V(CS4) = 10μA x RCS + IInductor x RDC(ON) External_MOS
Current Mode Step-up Compensation
When the step-up converter operates with continuous
inductor current, the right-half-plane zero (RHPZ) appears
in the loop-gain frequency response. To ensure the
stability, the control-loop gain should crossover at the
frequency (crossover frequency fC) much less than that
of RHPZ.
The inductor (L) and output capacitance (COUT) are
chosen first in consideration of performance, size, and
cost. The compensation resistor(RC) and capacitor(CC)
are then chosen to optimize the control-loop stability.
The useful steps are listed below to calculate loop
compensation.
Step-1 Calculate RHPZ
For continuous conduction, the RHPZ is given by
fRHPZ =
VOUT (1-D)2
2π L IOUT
Where D is the duty cycle = 1-(VIN / VOUT), L is the inductor
value, and ILOAD is the maximum output current. Typical
target crossover frequency is 1/6 of RHPZ.
For example, if we assume VIN = 1.8V, VOUT = 3.3V, and
IOUT = 0.5A, the RLOAD = 6.6Ω. If we select L = 4.7uH,
then : fRHPZ = 66KHz

Where Gm is the transconductance of error amplifier,
and RCS is the current sense amplifier transresistance.
In our design, Gm=200us, RCS = 0.8V/A, and VFB = 1V,
and then CC = 4.34nF from calculation.
Choose CC = 4.7nF.
Step-3 Calculate RC
RC is calculated such that transient droop requirements
are met.
For example, in our design, if 5% transient droop is
allowed, then the error amplifier moves 0.05 x 1V, or
50mV. The error amplifier output drives 50mV x 200us,
or 10uA across RC to provide transient gain.
We select RCS = 2.7kΩ to meet the requirements.
The output capacitor is chosed 40uF to cancel the RC
CC zero, and can sustain stable VOUT voltage at heavy
load condition.
COUT
Reference
The chip has an internal 1V reference voltage, which is
the inputs of the error amplifiers of the CH1, CH2, and
CH4 to compare the difference of feedback voltage. The
reference voltage of CH3 is 0.2V for WLEDs application.
The reference voltage can be set up stably when the
supplied power (VDD) is above 1.5V, and EN1 (or EN2,
EN3, EN4 either one) goes high.
Thermal Protection
Thermal protection function is integrated in the chip. When
the chip temperature is higher than 180°C, the controllers
of all channels are shutdown. When the thermal protection
is relieved, the chip operates well again.
Charge Pump DC/DC Converter (CH5)
This is a low quiescent negative-voltage charge pump
DC/DC converter, which is enabled by EN2. Output ripple
can be easily suppressed by increasing the capacitance
ratio of COUT and CCP. This charge pump DC/DC converter
can apply to negative voltage of CCD.
The maximum output current is determined by the ratio
of CCP and COUT. This equation would describe the
relationship.
IMAX = (VINCD − 2VF) x CCP x FCP
z
VF : Schottky diode forward voltage
z
FCP : Charge pump maximum frequency is 500kHz.
The negative output voltage is set by R1 and R2. The
FBCP threshold voltage is 0V.
