z
The internal power switch with 75mΩ on-resistance
increases efficiency and eliminates the need for an external
Schottky diode. Switching frequency is either set by an
external resistor or synchronized to an external clock.
100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, hence
extending battery life in portable systems. External
compensation allows the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.
The RT8004A operates in Forced Continuous Mode which
reduces noise and RF interference. 100% duty cycle in
Low Dropout Operation further maximizes battery life.

Pin Function
Signal Input Supply. Decouple this pin to GND with a capacitor.
Normally VDD is equal to PVDD.
Power Good Indicator. This pin is an open-drain logic output that
is pulled to ground when the output voltage is not within ±12.5%
of regulation point.
Error Amplifier Compensation Pin. The current comparator
threshold increases with this control voltage. Connect external
compensation elements to this pin to stabilize the control loop.
Feedback Pin. Receives the feedback voltage from a resistive
voltage-divider connected across the output.
Oscillator Resistor Input. Connecting a resistor to ground from
this pin sets the switching frequency.
External Clock Synchronization Input. The internal oscillator can
be synchronized to an external clock applied to this pin. If not in
use, please connect this pin to VDD or GND.
Enable Control and Soft-Start Input. Forcing this pin below 0.5V
shuts down the RT8004A. In shutdown, all functions are
disabled, drawing < 1μA of supply current. A capacitor to ground
from this pin sets the ramp time to full output current.
Signal Ground. All small-signal components, compensation
components and the exposed pad on the bottom side of the IC
should connect to this ground, which in turn connects to PGND
at one point.

Operation
Main Control Loop
The RT8004A is a monolithic, constant-frequency, current mode step-down DC/DC converter. During normal operation,
the internal top power switch (P-MOSFET) is turned on at the beginning of each clock cycle. Current in the inductor
increases until the peak inductor current reaches the value defined by the voltage on the COMP pin. The error amplifier
adjusts the voltage on the COMP pin by comparing the feedback signal from a resistive voltage divider on the FB pin with
an internal 0.8V reference. When the load current increases, it causes a reduction in the feedback voltage relative to the
reference. The error amplifier raises the COMP voltage until the average inductor current matches the new load current.
When the top power MOSFET shuts off, the synchronous power switch (N-MOSFET) turns on until either the bottom
current limit is reached or the next clock cycle begins. The bottom current limit is set at −2A.
The operating frequency is set by an external resistor connected between the RT pin and ground. The practical switching
frequency can range from 300kHz to 4MHz.
Power Good comparators will pull the PGOOD output low if the output voltage comes out of regulation by 12.5%. In an
overvoltage condition, the top power MOSFET is turned off and the bottom power MOSFET is switched on until either
the overvoltage condition clears or the bottom MOSFET’ s current limit is reached.
Dropout Operation
When the input supply voltage decreases toward the output voltage, the duty cycle increases toward the maximum ontime. Further reduction of the supply voltage forces the main switch to remain on for more than one cycle eventually
reaching 100% duty cycle. The output voltage will then be determined by the input voltage minus the voltage drop across
the internal P-MOSFET and the inductor.

RT8004A
Low Supply Operation
The RT8004A is designed to operate down to an input supply voltage of 2.7V. One important consideration at low input
supply voltages is that the RDS(ON) of the P-MOSFET and N-MOSFET power switches increases. The user should
calculate the power dissipation when the RT8004A is used at 100% duty cycle with low input voltages to ensure that
thermal limits are not exceeded.
Slope Compensation and Inductor Peak Current
Slope compensation provides stability in constant frequency architectures by preventing subharmonic oscillations at
duty cycles greater than 50%. It is accomplished internally by adding a compensating ramp to the inductor current
signal. Normally, the maximum inductor peak current is reduced when slope compensation is added. In the RT8004A,
however, separated inductor current signals are used to monitor over current condition and minimum peak current. This
keeps the maximum output current and minimum peak current relatively constant regardless of duty cycle.
Short Circuit Protection
When the output is shorted to ground, the inductor current decays very slowly during a single switching cycle. A current
runaway detector is used to monitor inductor current. As current increases beyond the control of current loop, switching
cycles will be skipped to prevent current runaway from occurring.

RT8004A
Application Information
The basic RT8004A application circuit is shown in Typical
Application Circuit. External component selection is
determined by the maximum load current and begins with
the selection of the inductor value and operating frequency
followed by CIN and COUT.
Operating Frequency
Selection of the operating frequency is a tradeoff between
efficiency and component size. High frequency operation
allows the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values.
Operation at lower frequencies improves efficiency by
reducing internal gate charge and switching losses but
requires larger inductance values and/or capacitance to
maintain low output ripple voltage.

⎡ VOUT ⎤ ⎡
L=⎢
⎢1 −
⎥
⎥
⎣ f × ΔIL(MAX) ⎦ ⎣⎢ VIN(MAX) ⎦⎥
Inductor Core Selection
Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must
be selected. High efficiency converters generally cannot
afford the core loss found in low cost powdered iron cores,
forcing the use of more expensive ferrite or mollypermalloy
cores. Actual core loss is independent of core size for a
fixed inductor value but it is very dependent on the
inductance selected. As the inductance increases, core
losses decrease. Unfortunately, increased inductance
requires more turns of wire and, therefore higher copper
loss.
The operating frequency of the RT8004A is determined
by an external resistor that is connected between the RT
pin and ground. The value of the resistor sets the ramp
current that is used to charge and discharge an internal
timing capacitor within the oscillator. Although frequencies
as high as 4MHz are possible, the minimum on-time of
the RT8004A imposes a minimum limit on the operating
duty cycle. The minimum on-time is typically 110ns.
Therefore, the minimum duty cycle is equal to 100 x 110ns
x f(Hz).
Ferrite designs have very low core losses and are preferred
at high switching frequencies, so design goals can
concentrate on copper loss and saturation prevention.
Ferrite core material saturates “hard”, which means that
inductance collapses abruptly when the peak design
current is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in
inductor ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple.
Do not allow the core to saturate!
Inductor Selection
Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials
are small and don’ t radiate energy, but generally cost
more than powdered iron core inductors with similar
characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use
mainly depends on the price vs size requirements and
any radiated field/EMI requirements.
For a given input and output voltage, the inductor value
and operating frequency determine the ripple current. The
ripple current ΔIL increases with higher VIN and decreases
with higher inductance.

⎣
⎦⎣
IN ⎦
Having a lower ripple current reduces the ESR losses in
the output capacitors and output voltage ripple. Highest
efficiency operation is achieved at low frequency with small
ripple current. This, however, requires a large inductor.
A reasonable starting point for selecting the ripple current
is ΔIL = 0.4(IMAX). The largest ripple current occurs at the
highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple current stays
below a specified maximum, the inductor value should be
chosen according to the following equation :
DS8004A-03 March 2011
Different core materials and shapes will change the size/
current and price/current relationship of an inductor.
CIN and COUT Selection
The input capacitance, C IN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidal current at the source of the top MOSFET. To
prevent large ripple voltage, a low ESR input capacitor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. RMS
current is given by :
IRMS = IOUT(MAX)
VOUT
VIN
VIN
−1
VOUT
www.richtek.com
9
RT8004A
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where
I RMS = I OUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is
commonly used for design because even significant
deviations do not result in much difference. Note that ripple
current ratings from capacitor manufacturers are often
based on only 2000 hours of life which makes it advisable
to further derate the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated
at a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors
may also be paralleled to meet size or height requirements
in the design.
The selection of COUT is determined by the effective series
resistance (ESR) that is required to minimize voltage ripple
and load step transients, as well as the amount of bulk
capacitance that is necessary to ensure that the control
loop is stable. Loop stability can be checked by viewing
the load transient response as described in a later section.
The output ripple, ΔVOUT, is determined by :
ΔVOUT
output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input
and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long
wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the
input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output
and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden
inrush of current through the long wires can potentially
cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the
part.
Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage is set by an external resistive voltagedivider according to the following equation :
VOUT = 0.8V (1+
R1
)
R2
The resistive voltage-divider allows the FB pin to sense a
fraction of the output voltage as shown in Figure 1.
VOUT
1 ⎤
⎡

8fCOUT ⎥⎦
⎣
The output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage
since ΔIL increases with input voltage. Multiple capacitors
placed in parallel may be needed to meet the ESR and
RMS current handling requirements. Dry tantalum, special
polymer, aluminum electrolytic and ceramic capacitors are
all available in surface mount packages. Special polymer
capacitors offer very low ESR but have lower capacitance
density than other types. Tantalum capacitors have the
highest capacitance density but it is important to only
use types that have been surge tested for use in switching
power supplies. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have
significantly higher ESR but can be used in cost-sensitive
applications provided that consideration is given to ripple
current ratings and long term reliability. Ceramic capacitors
have excellent low ESR characteristics but can have a
high voltage coefficient and audible piezoelectric effects.
The high Q of ceramic capacitors with trace inductance
can also lead to significant ringing.

Frequency Synchronization
The RT8004A’ s internal oscillator can be synchronized
to an external clock signal. During synchronization, the
high side MOSFET turn-on is locked to the falling edge of
the external frequency source. The synchronization
frequency range is from 300kHz to 4MHz. Synchronization
only occurs if the external frequency is greater than the
frequency set by the external resistor. Because slope
compensation is generated by the oscillator’ s RC circuit,
the external frequency should be set 25% higher than the
frequency set by the external resistor to ensure that
adequate slope compensation is present.
Soft-Start
Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal
for switching regulator applications. However, care must
be taken when these capacitors are used at the input and

The EN/SS pin provides a means to shut down the
RT8004A as well as a timer for soft-start. Pulling the EN/
SS pin below 0.5V places the RT8004A in a low quiescent
current shutdown state (IQ < 1μA).
The RT8004A contains an internal soft-start clamp that

gradually raises the clamp on COMP after the EN/SS pin
is pulled above 0.8V. The full current range becomes
available on COMP after 1024 switching cycles. If a longer
soft-start period is desired, the clamp on COMP can be
set externally with a resistor and capacitor on the EN/SS
pin as shown in Typical Application Circuit. The soft-start
duration can be calculated by using the following formula:

Figure 2. Derating Curves for RT8004A Package
Layout Considerations
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance
of RT8004A.
`
A ground plane is recommended. If a ground plane layer
is not used, the signal and power grounds should be
segregated with all small-signal components returning
to the GND pin at one point that is then connected to
the PGND pin close to the IC. The exposed pad should
be connected to GND.
`
Connect the terminal of the input capacitor(s), CIN, as
close as possible to the PVDD pin. This capacitor
provides the AC current into the internal power
MOSFETs.
`
LX node is with high frequency voltage swing and should
be kept small area. Keep all sensitive small-signal nodes
away from LX node to prevent stray capacitive noise
pick-up.
`
Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper.
Flooding with copper will reduce the temperature rise
of power components. You can connect the copper areas
to any DC net (PVIN, SVIN, VOUT, PGND, SGND, or
any other DC rail in your system).
`
Connect the FB pin directly to the feedback resistors.
The resistor divider must be connected between VOUT
and GND.

Ambient Temperature (°C)
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (47°C/W) = 2.128W for
TSSOP-16 (Exposed Pad) package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. For the RT8004A packages, the derating
curves in Figure 2 allow the designer to see the effect of
rising ambient temperature on the maximum power
dissipation.

where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications of
the RT8004A, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C
and TA is the ambient temperature. The junction to ambient
thermal resistance, θ JA , is layout dependent. For
TSSOP-16 (Exposed Pad) packages, the thermal
resistance, θJA, is 47° C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7
four-layer thermal test board. For VQFN-16L 4X4 packages,
the thermal resistance, θJA, is 54°C/W on a standard
JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board. The maximum
power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by the
following formula :
