Pin Function
Enable Input. A logic-high enables the converter; a logic-low forces the RT7266
into shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 10μA. Attach this
pin to VIN with a 100kΩ pull up resistor for automatic start-up.
Feedback Input. It is used to regulate the output of the converter to a set value
via an external resistive voltage divider. The feedback reference voltage is
0.765V typically.
Internal Regulator Output. Connect a 1μF capacitor to GND to stabilize
output voltage.
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor
from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 3.9nF capacitor sets the soft-start
period to 1.5ms.
Ground. The Exposed pad should be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum thermal dissipation.

SW
Switch Node. Connect this pin to an external L-C filter.
7
BOOT
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 0.1μF or greater ceramic
capacitor from BOOT to SW pins.
8
VIN
Supply Input. The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 18V. Must bypass with a
suitable large ( ≥10μF x 2) ceramic capacitor.

RT7266
Application Information
The RT7266 is a synchronous high voltage buck converter
that can support the input voltage range from 4.5V to 18V
and the output current can be up to 3A. It operates using
adaptive on-time ACOTTM mode control and provides a very
fast transient response with few external compensation
components. The RT7266 allows low external component
count configuration with both low ESR and ceramic output
capacitors.
PWM Operation
It is suitable for low external component count
configuration with appropriate amount of Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR) capacitor(s) at the output. The output
ripple valley voltage is monitored at a feedback point
voltage. The synchronous high side MOSFET is turned
on at the beginning of each cycle. After the internal one
shot timer expires, the MOSFET is turned off. The pulse
width of this one shot is determined by the converter's
input and output voltages to keep the frequency fairly
constant over the entire input voltage range.
Adaptive On-Time Control
The RT7266 has a unique circuit to ensure the switching
frequency on 700kHz over full input voltage range and full
loading range. This circuit sets the on-time one-shot timer
by monitoring the input voltage and SW signal. The
switching frequency will keep constant if the duty ratio is
VOUT/VIN.
Chip Enable Operation
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (<0.4V) will shutdown the device. During shutdown
mode, the RT7266 quiescent current drops to lower than
10μA. Driving the EN pin high (>2V, <5.5V) will turn on
the device again. For external timing control, the EN pin
can also be externally pulled high by adding a REN* resistor
and CEN* capacitor from the VIN pin (see Figure 1).

An external MOSFET can be added to implement digital

EN pin. MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control to pull

The RT7266 contains an external soft-start clamp that
gradually raises the output voltage. The soft-start timing
can be programmed by the external capacitor between
SS pin and GND. The chip provides a 2μA charge current

the soft-start will be 2ms (typ.). The available capacitance
range is from 2.7nF to 220nF.

To prevent enabling circuit when VIN is smaller than the
VOUT target value, a resistive voltage divider can be placed
between the input voltage and ground and connected to
the EN pin to adjust IC lockout threshold, as shown in
Figure 3. For example, if an 8V output voltage is regulated
from a 12V input voltage, the resistor REN2 can be selected
to set input lockout threshold larger than 8V.

when junction temperature exceeds 150°C. Once the
junction temperature cools down by approximately 20°C
the main converter will resume operation. To maintain

should be prevented from rising above 150°C.

Figure 4. Output Voltage Setting
The inductor value and operating frequency determine the
ripple current according to a specific input and an output
voltage. The ripple current ΔIL increases with higher VIN
and decreases with higher inductance.

Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR
losses in the output capacitors but also the output voltage
ripple. High frequency with small ripple current can achieve
highest efficiency operation. However, it requires a large
inductor to achieve this goal. For the ripple current
selection, the value of ΔIL = 0.2(IMAX) will be a reasonable
starting point. The largest ripple current occurs at the
highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple current stays
below the specified maximum, the inductor value should
be chosen according to the following equation :

CIN and COUT Selection
The output voltage is set by an external resistive divider
according to the following equation. It is recommended to
use 1% tolerance or better divider resistors.
R1
VOUT = VFB × ( 1 +
)
R2
Where VFB is the feedback reference voltage (0.765V
typ.).
The input capacitance, C IN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidal current at the source of the high side MOSFET.
To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input capacitor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The
RMS current is given by :
Under Voltage Lockout Protection
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 offer much relief.
The RT7266 has Under Voltage Lockout Protection (UVLO)
that monitors the voltage of PVCC pin. When the VPVCC
voltage is lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the RT7266
will be turned off in this state. This is non-latch protection.
Over Temperature Protection
The RT7266 equips an Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
circuitry to prevent overheating due to excessive power

The selection of COUT is determined by the required ESR
PVCC Capacitor Selection
to minimize voltage ripple.
Decouple with a 1μF ceramic capacitor. X7R or X5R grade
dielectric ceramic capacitors are recommended for their
stable temperature characteristics.
Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key
for COUT selection to ensure that the control loop is stable.
The output ripple, ΔVOUT , is determined by :
1
⎤
ΔVOUT ≤ ΔIL ⎡⎢ESR +
⎥⎦
8fC
OUT
⎣
The output ripple will be highest at the 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.
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 input and
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.
External Bootstrap Diode
Connect a 0.1μF low ESR ceramic capacitor between the
BOOT and SW pins. This capacitor provides the gate driver
voltage for the high side MOSFET. It is recommended to
add an external bootstrap diode between an external 5V
and the BOOT pin for efficiency improvement when input
voltage is lower than 5.5V or duty ratio is higher than 65%.
The bootstrap diode can be a low cost one such as 1N4148
or BAT54. The external 5V can be a 5V fixed input from
system or a 5V output of the RT7266. Note that the external
boot voltage must be lower than 5.5V

Over Current Protection
When the output shorts to ground, the inductor current
decays very slowly during a single switching cycle. A over
current detector is used to monitor inductor current to
prevent current runaway. The over current detector monitors
the voltage between SW and GND during the low-side MOS
turn-on state. This is cycle-by-cycle protection. The over
current detector also supports temperature compensated.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
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, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) packages, the thermal resistance,
θJA, is 75°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 formulas :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (75°C/W) = 1.333W for
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curves in Figure 6 allow the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
