Introduction
General Product Information
The RT7295C is a synchronous step-down converter with Advanced Constant On-Time (ACOT™) mode control.
The ACOT™ provides a very fast transient response with few external components. The low impedance internal
MOSFET supports high efficiency operation with wide input voltage range from 4.3V to 18V. The proprietary circuit
of the RT7295C enables to support all ceramic capacitors. The output voltage can be adjusted between 0.6V and 8V.
The RT7295C also provides output under voltage protection and thermal shutdown protection. The low current
(<4μA) shutdown mode provides output disconnection, enabling easy power management in battery-powered
systems. The RT7295C is available in TSOT-23-6 FCOL (Flip-Chip-On-Lead) package.

Power-up & Measurement Procedure
1.
Apply a 12V nominal input power supply (4.3V < VIN < 18V) to the VIN and GND terminals.
2.
The EN voltage is pulled to logic high by R5 (100kΩ to VIN) to enable operation. Drive EN high (>1.5V) to
enable operation or low (<0.4V) to disable operation.
3.
Verify the output voltage (approximately 1.2V) between VOUT and GND.
4.
Connect an external load up to 3.5A to the VOUT and GND terminals and verify the output voltage and current.

Output Voltage Setting
Set the output voltage with the resistive divider (R2, R3) between VOUT and GND with the midpoint connected to
FB. The output is set by the following formula:
VOUT =0.6×(1+
R2
)
R3
The installed VOUT capacitors (C9, C10 and C11) are 22μF, 16V X5R ceramic types. Do not exceed their operating
voltage range and consider their voltage coefficient (capacitance vs. bias voltage) and ensure that the capacitance
is sufficient to maintain stability and provide sufficient transient response for your application. This can be verified by
checking the output transient response as described in the RT7295C IC datasheet.
