RT7247B
2A, 18V, 1.2MHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
The RT7247B is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 2A
output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The
RT7247B's current mode architecture and external
compensation allow the transient response to be
optimized over a wide input range and loads. Cycle-bycycle current limit provides protection against shorted
outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current surge during
start-up. The RT7247B also provides under voltage
protection and thermal shutdown protection. The low
current (<3μA) shutdown mode provides output
disconnection, enabling easy power management in
battery-powered systems. The RT7247B is available in
an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Foldback Control
Provide internal power for logic control and switch gate
drivers.
Dynamically adjust the internal clock. It provides a slower
frequency as a lower FB voltage.
Shutdown Comparator
UV Comparator
Activate internal regulator once EN input level is higher
than the target level. Force IC to enter shutdown mode
when the EN input level is lower than 0.4V.
As FB voltage is lower than the UV voltage, it will activate
a UV protect scheme.
Lockout Comparator
The output voltage COMP of the error amplifier is adjusted
by comparing FB signal with the internal reference voltage
and SS signal.
Activate the current comparator, release lock-out logic,
and enable the switches as EN input level is higher than
lockout threshold voltage. Otherwise, the switches still
lock out.
Oscillator
The oscillator provides internal clock and controls the
converter's switching frequency.

Application Information
Output Voltage Setting
Soft-Start
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output
voltage as shown in Figure 1.
The RT7247B provides soft-start function. The soft-start
function is used to prevent large inrush current while
converter is being powered-up. The soft-start timing can
be programmed by the external capacitor between SS and
GND. An internal current source ISS (6μA) charges an

Where VREF is the reference voltage (0.8V typ.).
External Bootstrap Diode
Connect a 0.1μF low ESR ceramic capacitor between the
BOOT pin and SW pin. 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 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 IN4148 or BAT54. The external 5V
can be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output of the
RT7247B. Note that the external boot voltage must be
lower than 5.5V
5V

The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (<0.4V) will shut down the device. During shutdown
mode, the RT7247B quiescent current drops to lower than
3μA. Driving the EN pin high (>2V, <18V) 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 3).

Under Voltage Protection
Hiccup Mode
For the RT7247BH, it provides Hiccup Mode Under Voltage
Protection (UVP). When the VFB voltage drops below 0.4V,
the UVP function will be triggered to shut down switching
operation. If the UVP condition remains for a period, the
RT7247BH will retry automatically. When the UVP
condition is removed, the converter will resume operation.
The UVP is disabled during soft-start period.
Over Temperature Protection
The RT7247B features an Over Temperature Protection
(OTP) circuitry to prevent from overheating due to
excessive power dissipation. The OTP will shut down
switching operation when junction temperature exceeds
150°C. Once the junction temperature cools down by
approximately 20°C, the converter will resume operation.
To maintain continuous operation, the maximum junction
temperature should be lower than 125°C.
Hiccup Mode
Inductor Selection
Time (50ms/Div)
The inductor value and operating frequency determine the
ripple current according to a specific input and 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

ripple. High frequency with small ripple current can achieve
the highest efficiency operation. However, it requires a
large inductor to achieve this goal.

For the ripple current selection, the value of ΔIL = 0.24(IMAX)
will be a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple

inductor value should be chosen according to the following

be greater than the short circuit peak current limit. Please

CIN and COUT Selection
Thermal Considerations
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
approximate RMS current is given :
For continuous operation, do not exceed the maximum
operation junction temperature 125°C. 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 :
V
IRMS = IOUT(MAX) OUT
VIN
VIN
1
VOUT
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. 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. For the input capacitor, two
10μF low ESR ceramic capacitors are suggested. For the
suggested capacitor, please refer to Table 3 for more
details. The selection of COUT is determined by the
required ESR to minimize voltage ripple. Moreover, the
amount of bulk capacitance is also a key for COUT selection
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 :
1

VOUT  IL ESR 
8fCOUT 

The output ripple will be the 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 requirement. 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. A sudden inrush
of current through the long wires can potentially cause a
voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the part.

PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA ) / θJA
Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction

the junction to ambient thermal resistance.
For recommended operating conditions specification of
RT7247B, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C.
The junction to ambient thermal resistance θJA is layout
dependent. For SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package, the
thermal resistance θJA is 75°C/W on the standard JEDEC
51-7 four-layers thermal test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by following
formula :
P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (75°C/W) = 1.333W
(min.copper area PCB layout)
P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (49°C/W) = 2.04W
(70mm2copper area PCB layout)
The thermal resistance θJA of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is
determined by the package architecture design and the
PCB layout design. However, the package architecture
design had been designed. If possible, it's useful to increase
thermal performance by the PCB layout copper design.
The thermal resistance θJA can be decreased by adding
copper area under the exposed pad of SOP-8 (Exposed
Pad) package.
As shown in Figure 7, the amount of copper area to which
the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is mounted affects thermal
performance. When mounted to the standard
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) pad (Figure 7.a), θJA is 75°C/W.
Adding copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed
Pad) (Figure 7.b) reduces the θJA to 64°C/W. Even further,
increasing the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 7.e)
reduces the θJA to 49°C/W.

The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 8 of derating
curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising
ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation
allowed.

Layout Consideration
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance
of the RT7247B.

Keep the traces of the main current paths as short and
wide as possible.

Put the input capacitor as close as possible to the device
pins (VIN and GND).

SW node is with high frequency voltage swing and
should be kept at small area. Keep analog components
VIN
GND
away from the SW node to prevent stray capacitive noise
pick-up.

Connect feedback network behind the output capacitors.
Keep the loop area small. Place the feedback
components near the RT7247B.

An example of PCB layout guide is shown in Figure 9
for reference.
