RT8110B
Compact Wide Input Range Synchronous Buck DC/DC
PWM Controller
General Description
Features
The RT8110B is a compact fixed-frequency PWM controller
with integrated MOSFET drivers for single power rail
synchronous single-phase buck converter. This part
features an internal regulator that allows wide input voltage
range operation. The RT8110B utilizes voltage-mode
control with internal compensation to simplify the
converter design. An internal 0.8V reference voltage allows
low output voltage application. The switching frequency
is fixed at 400kHz to reduce the external passive
component size to save board space. The RT8110B
provides under voltage protection, current limit, over current
protection and over temperature protection. The low-side
MOSFET RDS(ON) is used to sense the inductor current
for over current protection.

RT8110B
Applications Information
The RT8110B is a wide input voltage range, voltage-mode
PWM controller with integrated MOSFET gate drivers for
single-phase synchronous buck converter. It features tiny
package and an internal regulator, which provides regulated
VCC from a wide input range of VIN to power the controller.
This part provides internal soft start, internal loop
compensation and protection functions.

Internal VCC Regulator
RT8110B can operate with input voltage range from 10V
to 28V in single input power applications. The input voltage
at VIN pin is internally connected to the integrated bipolar
junction transistor and is then regulated to 5.5V by the
internal regulator to support VCC. VCC is used as the
power of internal control logic circuit and low-side MOSFET
gate driver. It is recommended to add a 2.2μF ceramic
capacitor to the VCC pin.
Power-up and Soft Start
The power-on-reset (POR) function continuously monitors
the voltage at the VCC pin. When VCC rises and exceeds
the POR threshold, the controller initiates its power-up
sequence with continuous low-frequency, small-width
pulses at UGATE (~6kHz). These pulses are used for
converter power stage input voltage (VIN) detection. If VIN
is applied, the voltage at PHASE pin will rise and fall due
to these detection pulses. A digital counter and a
comparator are used to record the number of times that
voltage at PHASE pin exceeds the internally-defined
voltage level (~1.5V). If the voltage at PHASE pin exceeds
and below the internally-defined voltage level for two times,
detection pulse stops and VIN is recognized to be ready.
Once VIN is ready, soft-start will then initiate after a time
delay. Otherwise the detection pulse at UGATE continues.
RT8110B provides soft start function internally. Figure 1
shows the PWM comparator and the operational
transconductance amplifier (OTA). The OTA has three
inputs: reference voltage VREF, feedback voltage signal
FB, and soft start signal SS. During the soft start interval,
the feedback voltage signal tracks the SS signal. Because
SS signal rises from zero in monotone, therefore the PWM
duty cycle will increase gradually at start up to prevent
large inrush current. When FB voltage reaches VREF, soft

Bootstrap Circuit
Figure 2 shows the bootstrap gate drive circuit supplied
from VCC. The bootstrap circuit consists of bootstrap
capacitor CBOOT and blocking diode DBOOT. The selection
of these two components can be done after choosing the
high-side MOSFET. The bootstrap capacitor must have a
voltage rating that is able to withstand twice the maximum
supply voltage. The capacitance is determined using the
following equation :
CBOOT =
QGATE
ΔVBOOTSTRAP
where QGATE is the total gate charge of the high-side
MOSFET, and ΔVBOOTSTRAP is the voltage drop allowed on
the high-side MOSFET gate drive. For example, the total
gate charge for MOSFET is about 30nC. For an allowed
voltage drop of 300mV, the required bootstrap capacitance
is 0.1μF.
Referring to Figure 2, the bootstrap diode must be able to
block the power stage supply voltage plus any peak ringing
voltage at the PHASE pin when Q1 is turned on. Therefore,
the voltage rating of the bootstrap diode should be at least
1.5 to twice of the power stage supply voltage.
Since the RDS(ON) of MOSFET will be higher if the gateto-source driving voltage is lower, a bootstrap diode with
larger forward voltage results in lower gate drive voltage,
higher on-resistance and lower efficiency. Therefore, the
forward voltage of the bootstrap diode should be low. Fast
recovery diode or Schottky diode which has low forward
voltage is recommended for the bootstrap diode.

Current Limit and Over Current Protection (OCP)
RT8110B provides current limit and over current protection.
The low-side MOSFET on-resistance is used to sense
the inductor current. Once the high-side MOSFET is
turned off, the low-side MOSFET is turned on when dead
time ends. Inductor current then flows through the lowside MOSFET and build a voltage drop across the drain
and source (PHASE to GND). This voltage is sensed to
monitor the inductor peak current.
Note that IPEAK is the inductor peak current, therefore IPEAK
should be set greater than IOUT(MAX) + (ΔI)/2 to prevent
false tripping, where ΔI is the output inductor ripple current,
and IOUT(MAX) is the maximum load current. Since MOSFET
RDS(ON) increases with temperature, the controller will trip
OCP/current limit earlier at high temperature. To avoid
false tripping, considering the highest junction temperature
of the MOSFET and calculate the OCP threshold to select
RDS(ON).

If the load current further increases, either over current
protection or under voltage protection will be tripped. The
over current protection will be tripped when the over current
event occurs for continuously four PWM pulses. When
OCP is triggered, both UGATE and LGATE go low,
controller will initiate re-start in hiccup way. For OCP,
controller has three times of hiccupped re-start before
shutdown. Controller will latch off after three times of
hiccup.
DS8110B-02 April 2011

Q2
As shown in Figure 3, the over current threshold is
determined internally by the current source IOC and the
internal resistor ROC. The current source IOC flows through
resistor ROC and builds voltage VOC (=IOC x ROC) which is
referenced to the PHASE pin. When load current increase
and the sensed PHASE voltage falls below VOC in one
switching cycle, controller will treat this as an over current
event. Each over current event will cause one UGATE
PWM pulse to be prohibited, but has no influence on
LGATE signal, it still keep switching. UGATE PWM pulse
is permitted when over current event does not exist. If
over current event does not occur in the next switching
cycle, UGATE will switching again, or the UGATE pulse
will still be prohibited. In this way, inductor peak current
will be limited.

Figure 3. Over Current Protection Mechanism
Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
After soft start completes, the FB voltage is monitored
for UVP. The UVP function has a 10μs time delay and the
threshold is typically 0.5V. If FB voltage falls below the
threshold, UVP will be tripped, both UGATE and LGATE
go low and then the hiccupped re-start will be initialized.
The UVP re-start behavior is different from that of OCP;
the controller will always initiate re-start in a hiccupped
way.
Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
The RT8110B integrates thermal protection function. The
over temperature protection is a latched protection and
its threshold is typically 160°C. When OTP is triggered,
controller shuts down, both high-side and the low-side
MOSFET are turned off.

RT8110B
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor not only reduces the noise and voltage
ripple on the input, but also reduces the peak current drawn
from the power source. The input capacitor must meet
the RMS current requirement imposed by the switching
current defined by the following equation :
IRMS =
IOUT × VOUT × (VIN − VOUT )
VIN
The input RMS current varies with load and input voltage,
and has a maximum of half the output current when output
voltage is equal to half the input voltage. In addition,
ceramic capacitor is recommended for high frequency
decoupling because of its low equivalent series resistance
and low equivalent inductance. These ceramic capacitors
should be placed physically between and close to the
drain of high-side MOSFET and the source of the lowside MOSFET.
The voltage rating is another key parameter for the input
capacitor. In general, choose the voltage rating with 50%
higher than the input voltage for the input capacitor to ensure
the operation reliability.
Feedback Compensation and Output Capacitor
Selection
The RT8110B is a voltage-mode PWM controller, it uses
operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) with internal
compensation network to eliminate external compensation
components.
The compensation network is used to shape the gain curve
to obtain accurate dc regulation, fast load transient
response and maintain stability. Figure 5 shows the Bode
plot of the modulation gain, compensation gain and the
close loop gain. A stable control loop has a close gain
curve with a -20dB/decade slope at the crossover
frequency and the phase margin is greater than 45°.

Output Voltage Setting
The converter output voltage can be set by the external
voltage divider resistors. Figure 4 shows the connection
of the output voltage divider resistors. The controller will
regulate the output voltage according to the ratio of the
voltage divider resistors R1 and R2.
Figure 6 illustrates the simplified synchronous buck

Referring to Figure 5, the location of pole and zero of the
LC filter and the compensation network can be determined
using the following equations. The inductor and the output
capacitor create a double pole at FLC :
FLC =

2π × L × COUT

capacitor creates a zero at FESR :
1
FESR =
2π × ESR × COUT

The internal compensation network also introduces a pole
at FP2 :

The external R3 and C3 introduces a zero at FZ2 :

The external R3 and C3 introduces a pole at FP1 :
FP1 =
1
2π × (R3 + R1 // R2 ) × C3
Since the internal compensation values are given, the close
loop crossover frequency and phase margin can be
obtained after inductance and capacitance are determined.
External R3 and C3 are used to adjust the crossover
frequency and phase margin. The typical design procedure
is described as follows.
Step 1 : Collect system parameters such as switching
frequency, input voltage, output voltage, output voltage
ripple, and full load current.
Step 2 : Determine the output inductance value. The
recommended inductor ripple current is between 10% and
30% of the full load output current. The inductance can be
calculated using the following equation.

Step 3 : Determine the output capacitance and the ESR.
Neglecting the equivalent series inductance of the output
capacitor, the output capacitance C OUT can be
approximately determined using the following equations.
VRIPPLE = VRIPPLE(ESR) + VRIPPLE(C)
VRIPPLE(ESR) = IRIPPLE × ESR
VRIPPLE(C) =
IRIPPLE
8 × COUT × FSW
Step 4 : Calculate the crossover frequency, phase margin
and check stability.
Calculate the frequency of FLC, FESR, FZ1, FZ2, FP1 and
FP2 with selected inductance, capacitance and ESR. Then
plot the Bode diagram of close loop gain to check crossover
frequency and phase margin. In general, the crossover
frequency FC is between 1/10 and 1/5 of the switching
frequency (40kHz to 80kHz); and the phase margin should
be greater than 45°.
If the bandwidth and phase margin are not within an
acceptable range, add R3 and C3 to slightly adjust the
crossover frequency and phase margin.
If the crossover frequency and phase margin still can't
meet the requirement after tuning R3 and C3, re-select
the ESR and COUT (mainly) or inductance value to change
the location of FLC and FESR then repeat step 4. Note that
the output voltage ripple and transient response should
still meet the specification after changing ESR, COUT or
L.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum operation junction temperature. The maximum
power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of
IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow
and temperature difference between junction to ambient.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction
temperature, TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is
the junction to ambient thermal resistance.
For recommended operating conditions specification of
RT8110B, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C
www.richtek.com
11
RT8110B
and TA is the maximum ambient temperature. The junction
to ambient thermal resistance θJA is layout dependent.
For TSOT-23-8 packages, the thermal resistance θJA is
262°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-3 single layer thermal
test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C
can be calculated by following formula :
Layout Guidelines
PCB layout plays an important role in converter design.
PCB with carefully layout can help to decrease switching
noise, have stable operation and better performance. The
following guidelines can be used in PCB layout.
`
Feedback voltage divider resistors, compensation RCs,
bootstrap capacitor, bootstrap diode and ceramic
capacitors for VIN and VCC should be placed close to
the controller as possible.
`
Keep the power loops as short as possible. The current
transition from one device to another at high speed
causes voltage spikes due to the parasitic components
on the circuit board. Therefore, all the current switching
loops should be kept as short as possible with wide
traces to minimize the parasitic components.
`
Minimize the trace length between the MOSFET and
the controller. Since the drivers are integrated in the
controller, the driving path should be short and wide to
reduce the parasitic inductance and resistance.
`
Place the ceramic capacitor physically close to the drain
of the high-side FET and source of low-side FET. This
can reduce the input voltage ringing at heavy load.
`
Place the output capacitor physically close to the load.
This can minimize the impedance seen by the load,
and then improves the transient response.
`
The voltage feedback trace should be away from the
switching node. Keep the voltage feedback trace away
from the PHASE node, inductor and MOSFETs, these
switching node or components are noisy.
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (262°C/W) = 0.382W for
TSOT-23-8 package
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA. For RT8110B package, the Figure 7 of
derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of
rising ambient temperature on the maximum power
dissipation allowed.
