Introduction General Product Information The RT7294C 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 RT7294C enables to support all ceramic capacitors. The output voltage can be adjusted between 0.6V and 8V. The RT7294C 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 RT7294C is available in TSOT-23-6 FCOL (Flip-Chip-On-Lead) package.

Bench Test Setup Conditions Headers Description and Placement Please carefully inspect the EVB IC and external components, comparing them to the following Bill of Materials, to ensure that all components are installed and undamaged. If any components are missing or damaged during transportation, please contact the distributor or send e-mail to [email protected] Test Points The EVB is provided with the test points and pin names listed in the table below. Test point/ Signal Comment (expected waveforms or voltage levels on test points) VIN Input voltage Input voltage range= 4.3V to 18V VOUT Output voltage Default output voltage = 1.2V Pin name Output voltage range= 0.6V to 8V (see ‘’Output Voltage Setting’’ section for changing output voltage level) SW Switching node test point SW waveform EN Enable test point Enable signal. Drive EN or install a shorting block on Jumper JP2 to enable operation or disable operation. JP2 Chip enable control Install jumper or drive EN directly to enable or disable operation BOOT Boot strap supply test point Floating supply voltage for the high-side N-MOSFET switch GND Ground Ground 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.6 4. Connect an external load up to 2.5A 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) 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 RT7294C IC datasheet.
