RT8129AGQW Evaluation Board your power partner. High Efficiency Single Synchronous Buck PWM Controller Purpose The RT8129A integrates a Constant-On-Time (COT) PWM controller and MOSFET driver so that the external circuit is easily designed and the components are reduced. The controller provides the PWM signal which relies on the FB voltage comparing with internal reference voltage. The synchronous UGATE driver is turned on at the beginning of each cycle. After the internal one-shot timer expires, the UGATE driver will be turned off. The pulse width of this one-shot is determined by the controller's input voltage and the output voltage to keep the frequency fairly constant over the input voltage and output voltage range. Another one-shot sets a minimum off-time.

Introduction General Product Information The RT8129A is a high efficiency singl phase synchronous buck controller with 5V/12V supply voltage. The RT8129A integrates a Constant-On-Time (COT) PWM controller and a MOSFET drivers with internal bootstrap diodes, which is specifically designed to improve converter efficiency at light load condition. At light load condition, it automaticallyoperates in the diode emulation mode to reduce switching frequency and improve conversion efficiency. Other features include power good indication, enable/disable control and internal soft-start function. The RT8129A also provide protection functions including Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Under Voltage Protection (UVP), current limit and thermal shutdown. This device uses lossless low-side MOSFET RDS(ON) current sense technique for current limit with adjustable threshold set by connecting a resistor between the LGATE/OCSET and GND. With above functions, the RT8129A provides customers a cost-effective solution for high efficiency power conversion. The RT8129A is available in the WDFN-10L 3x3 package.

Connect input power (2.5V < VIN < 25V and 4.5V < VCC < 13.2V). 2. Connect positive end and negative terminals of load to VOUT and GND test pins respectively. 3. EN pin is internal high, let JP1 open (JP1 short will turn off IC). 4. Verify the output voltage (VOUT approximately 1.5V, and FB approximately 0.8V) between VOUT to GND, and FB to GND. 5. Connect an external load up to 10A to the VOUT and GND terminals and verify the output voltage and current. Output Voltage Setting Set the output voltage with the resistive divider (R8, R10) between VOUT and GND with the midpoint connected to FB. The output is set by the following formula : VOUT VFB x (1 R8 ) R10 Schematic, Bill of Materials & Board Layout EVB Schematic Diagram EVB_RT8129AGQW-00 October 2015 4 http://www.richtek.com RT8129AGQW Evaluation Board your power partner.
