Operation
The RT5007 integrates the functions of a current mode
Boost converter and a linear regulator. Use the I2C to
control the LNB voltage and the Boost converter is at least
800mV greater than LNB voltage. The Boost converter is
the high efficiency PWM architecture with 352kHz
operation frequency. The linear regulator has the capability
to source current up to 500mA during continuous
operation. All the loop compensation, current sensing,
and slope compensation functions are provided internally.
are indicated by the TSD, UVLO and OCP, and are latched
in the status register. The RT5007 latches all conditions
in the status register until the completion of the data read.
OCP
Tone Circuit
Both the Boost converter and the linear regulator have
independent current limit. In the Boost converter (OCP1),
this is achieved through cycle-by-cycle internal current
limit (typ. 3.8A). In the linear regulator (OCP2), when the
linear regulator exceeds OCP more than 5ms, the LNB
output will be disabled and the OCP bit of the status
register will be set to high.
This circuit is used for tone generation. Use the EXTM
pin to control internal 22kHz oscillator output from LNB.
I2C
UVLO
User can communicate with RT5007 by microcontroller
via the two wires I2C. The two lines SDA and SCL are
bidirectional lines, connected to a positive supply voltage
via a pull-high resistor (typically 4.7kΩ).
The UVLO circuit compares the VIN with the UVLO
threshold (7.7V rising typically) to ensure that the input
voltage is high enough for reliable operation. The 350mV
(typ.) hysteresis prevents supply transients from causing
a shutdown.
Bandage Reference
The RT5007 provides the slew rate control during either
start-up, or output voltage is transitioning. The rising and
falling times of the output voltage can be set by the external
capacitor connected from TCAP pin to GND.
OTP
When the junction temperature reaches the critical
temperature (typically 150°C), the Boost converter and
the linear regulator are immediately disabled.
Fault
The IRQ output becomes logic low when the RT5007
recognizes a latch fault condition. Latch fault conditions

RT5007
Application Information
Boost Converter/Linear Regulator
The RT5007 integrates a current mode Boost converter
and linear regulator. Use the I2C to control the LNB voltage
current. The input peak current can then be obtained by
adding the maximum input current with half of the inductor
ripple current as shown in the following equation :
and the Boost converter track is at least greater 800mV
than LNB voltage. The Boost converter is the high
efficiency PWM architecture with 352kHz operation
frequency. The linear regulator has the capability to source
current up to 500mA during continuous operation. All the
loop compensation, current sensing, and slope
compensation functions are provided internally.
IPEAK = 1.2 x IIN(MAX)
The RT5007 has current limiting on the Boost converter
and the LNB output to protect the IC against short circuits.
The internal MOSFET will turn off when the LX current is
higher than 3.8A cycle-by-cycle. If the LNB output in heavy
load, output current is limited to typically 500mA, IRQ
latch to low and the LNB output will be disabled if the over
current condition is more than 5ms. The RT5007 must be
enabled by reading the status register to release the IRQ.
where fOSC is the switching frequency. For better system
performance, a shielded inductor is preferred to avoid EMI
problems.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces voltage spikes from the input
supply and minimizes noise injection to the converter. A
100μF capacitance is sufficient for most applications.
Nevertheless, a higher or lower value may be used
depending on the noise level from the input supply and
the input current to the converter. Note that the voltage
rating of the input capacitor must be greater than the
maximum input voltage.
Inductor Selection
The inductance depends on the maximum input current.
As a general rule, the inductor ripple current range is 20%
to 40% of the maximum input current. If 40% is selected
as an example, the inductor ripple current can be
calculated according to the following equations :
IIN(MAX) 
VOUT  IOUT(MAX)
  VIN
IRIPPLE  0.4  IIN(MAX)
where η is the efficiency of the converter, IIN(MAX) is the
maximum input current, and IRIPPLE is the inductor ripple

Note that the saturated current of the inductor must be
greater than IPEAK. The inductance can eventually be
determined according to the following equation :

Boost Output Capacitor Selection
The RT5007 Boost regulator is internally compensated
and relies on the inductor and output capacitor value for
overall loop stability. The output capacitor is in the 50μF
to 200μF range with a low ESR, as strongly recommended.
The voltage rating on this capacitor should be in the 25V
to 35V range since it is connected to the Boost VOUT rail.
The output ripple voltage is an important index for
estimating chip performance. This portion consists of two
parts. One is the product of the inductor current with the
ESR of the output capacitor, while the other part is formed
by the charging and discharging process of the output
capacitor. As shown in Figure 1, ΔVOUT1 can be evaluated
based on the ideal energy equalization. According to the
definition of Q, the Q value can be calculated as the
following equation :

voltage falls below the UVLO falling threshold, all IC internal
functions will be turned off by the controller.
Over Current Protection
The RT5007 features an over-current protection function
to prevent chip damage from high peak currents. Both the
Boost converter and the LNB output have independent
current limit. In the Boost converter, this is achieved
through cycle-by-cycle internal current limit. During the
ON-period, the chip senses the inductor current that is
flowing into the LX pin. The internal N-MOSFET will be
turned off if the peak inductor current reaches the current
limit value of 3.8A(typ.). The LNB output current limit can
be set by the resistor from the ISET pin. This current can
be set from 300mA to 500mA by setting the resistor from
75kΩ to 50kΩ. The typical LNB output current limit can
be set by the following equation:
IOCP (mA) = 23000 / RISET (kΩ)

Schottky Diode Selection
Schottky diodes are chosen for their low forward voltage
drop and fast switching speed. However, when making a
selection, important parameters such as power dissipation,
reverse voltage rating, and pulsating peak current should
all be taken into consideration. A suitable Schottky diode's
reverse voltage rating must be greater than the maximum
output voltage and its average current rating must exceed
the average output current. The chosen diode should also
have a sufficiently low leakage current level, since it
increases with temperature.
When the output current exceeds the current limit for 5ms,
the LNB output will be disabled and the OCP bit of the
status register will be set to high. The minimum value of
the RISET is 50kΩ. Be aware that the ISET pin can not be
inadvertently grounded.
Short Circuit Protection
If the LNB output is shorted to ground, and more than
5ms, the RT5007 will be disabled.
Slew Rate Control
The RT5007 provides the slew rate control during either
start-up, or output voltage is transitioning. The output
voltage rise and fall times can be set by the capacitor
connected from TCAP pin to GND. The value of CTCAP can
be calculated using the following formula :
CTCAP = 6 ITCAP / SR 
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
SR = VLNB / t
The UVLO circuit compares the input voltage at VIN with
the UVLO threshold (7.7V Rising typ.) to ensure that the
input voltage is high enough for reliable operation. The
350mV (typ.) hysteresis prevents supply transients from
causing a shutdown. Once the input voltage exceeds the
UVLO rising threshold, start-up begins. When the input
Where CTCAP is the TCAP value in nF, ITCAP is the TCAP
pin charge/discharge current (typ. 10μA), SR is the LNB
output voltage slew rate, ΔVLNB is the differential transition
voltage and the Δt is the required transition time in ms.

The typical value of CTCAP is 39nF for most applications.
However, it is necessary to increase the value of CTCAP to

avoid inrush current of the LNB output but too large value
will probably cause the voltage transition specifications
to be exceeded. The output linear regulator provides
approximately 40mA of pull-down capability to ensure that
the output volts are ramped from 20V to 13V in a reasonable
amount of time.
Writing and reading to the RT5007 register is shown in
Figure 2. The slave address is controlled by ADD voltage,
please refer to the Table 1. In writing mode, the slave
address is proportional to ADD voltage. It requires
transmission of total three bytes, slave address, control
register address and control data. Address of RT5007 is
0x00. In reading mode, the R/W bit of the slave address
is 1, RT5007 outputs data after receiving the right slave
address and status register address (0x00). The master
(microcontroller) should make an ACK to slave for
continuous transmission. The RT5007 stops the data
outputs if the master feedbacks a NACK before stop
condition.
Over Temperature Protection
When the junction temperature reaches the critical
temperature (typ. 150°C), the Boost converter and the
linear regulator are immediately disabled, the TSD bit set
to high and the IRQ voltage goes low. When the junction
temperature cools down to a lower temperature threshold
specified, this bit will be cleared and the RT5007 will be
allowed to restart by normal start operation.

and OCP bits, and are latched in the status register (see
the Table 2).
Interrupt Request (IRQ)
The RT5007 provides an interrupt pin (IRQ), which is an
open-drain, active high output. This output may be
connected to a common IRQ line with a suitable external
pull-up resistor and can be used with other I2C compatible
devices to request attention from the master controller.
The DIS, PNG status bits do not cause an interrupt. All
these bits are continually updated, apart from the DIS bit,
which changes when the LNB is either disabled,
intentionally or due to a fault, or is enabled. When the
master recognizes an interrupt, reference the Figure3, it
addresses all slaves connected to the interrupt line in
sequence, and then reads the status register to determine
which device is requesting attention. The RT5007 latches
all conditions in the status register until the completion of
the data read.
The IRQ output becomes logic low when the RT5007
recognizes a fault condition, or at power on, when the
main supply, VIN, and the internal logic supply, VREG,
reach the correct operating conditions. It is only reset to
inactive when the I2C master addresses the RT5007 with
the read/write bit set (reading mode enabled), shown as
below. Fault conditions are indicated by the TSD, UVLO

LNB Output Voltage and Control Registers
The RT5007 control register 1 is shown in Table 3. VSEL
[2:0] provides voltage control on the LNB output. This
function provides the necessary levels for all the common
standards. The function of line-adding compensation is
enabled if the cable line has voltage drop. The voltage
levels are defined in Table 4. Bit 3 VSEL2 switches
between the low level and high level output voltages on
the LNB output. The low level, set to 0, is 13.333V nominal
and the high level, set to 1, is 18.667V nominal. ENB bit
controls the LNB output. When set to 1, the LNB output
is switched on. When set to 0, the LNB output is disabled.

RT5007
Status Registers
The RT5007 status register table is shown in Table 6 and
Table 7. The status register is used for diagnosing the
main fault conditions : Over Current Protection (OCP),
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) and Thermal Shutdown
(TSD). When these three faults occur, the LNB output is
disabled and the bit is latch to 1 until the RT5007 is read
by the master, assuming the fault has been resolved. The
status register is updated on the rising edge of the 9th
clock pulse in the data read sequence.
The Disable bit (DIS) is used to indicate the current
condition of the LNB output. It is set when either a fault
occurs or if the LNB is disabled intentionally by the I2CTM
master. This bit isn't latched if the LNB is commanded on
again.
The OCP bit is set to 1 if the LNB output detects an over
current condition (typ. 500mA) over than 5ms. Where the
OCP bit is reset in all cases, allowing the master to enable
the LNB output. If this bit has been set, please check that
the output loading is short or too heavy before re-enable
again.
The Power Not Good (PNG) is used for over voltage (typ.
109%) or under voltage (typ. 91%) detection of the LNB
output voltage. If the LNB disabled or the output voltage
is abnormal, PNG reports a logic 1 until the LNB output is
enabled.
The TSD bit indicates 1 when the RT5007 has detected
the over-temperature condition. The disable bit, DIS, will
also be set. If the condition is no longer present, then the
TSD bit will be reset, allowing the master to enable the
LNB output if required. If the condition is still present,
then the TSD bit will remain at 1.
The UVLO bit, 1 is indicated that the RT5007 has detected
that the input supply is below the minimum level. The
disable bit, DIS, will also be set and the RT5007 will not
re-enable the output until the condition is no longer present,
then the UVLO bit will be reset allowing the master to reenable the LNB output if required. If the condition is still
present, then the UVLO bit will remain at 1.
The DIS, PNG bits are reset without an I2CTM read
sequence. The power on sequence of the master in a
fault condition is to check the fault status by reading the
Status registers then removing the fault condition until
the status bit is reset. The fault may be detected either
by continuously polling status registers or by responding
to an interrupt request (IRQ).

RT5007
I2C Interface
Acknowledge
User can communicate with RT5007 by microcontroller
via the two wires I2C. The two lines SDA and SCL are
bidirectional lines, connected to a positive supply voltage
via a pull-high resistor (typ. 4.7kΩ). The level of logic “0”
and logic “1” is defined in the “Electrical Specifications”
table. The output stages of RT5007 will have an open drain/
open collector in order to perform the wired-AND function.
Data on the I2C bus can be transferred up to 100kbps in
the standard mode or up to 400kbps in the fast mode.
One clock pulse is generated for each data bit transferred.
The master puts a resistive high level on the SDA line
during the acknowledge clock pulse. The slave has to pulllow the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse.
This behavior is called acknowledge, ACK. If the slave
doesn't pull the SDA low, that is NACK (NotAcknowledged) behavior. The RT5007 will not generate
the ACK if the input voltage is under UVLO.

Transmitted Data (I2C Bus Write Mode)
In writing mode, the master (microcontroller) transmits
the 8 bits data (MSB transmitted first) after START
condition. Then the slave (RT5007) has to feedback an
ACK condition during the acknowledge clock pulse if the
data receiving is OK. The master transmitter can generate
the STOP condition to end the transfer.
Received Data (I2C Bus Read Mode)
In reading mode, after the user transmits the slave address
and data address, the master changes to RT5007 and the
slave becomes the microcontroller. As for the following
master generated clock bits, the RT5007 issues a byte
on the SDA data bus line (MSB transmitted first) and the
ACK condition is generated by microcontroller. After
receiving the last data, the microcontroller enables a NACK
condition to issue the data from master and the STOP
condition to end the transfer.
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
is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation.
www.richtek.com
17
RT5007
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
WQFN-16L 3x3 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
30°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 formula:
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (30°C/W) = 3.33W for
WQFN-16L 3x3 package
Layout Considerations
For high frequency switching power supplies, the PCB
layout is important to get good regulation, high efficiency
and stability. The following descriptions are the guidelines
for better PCB layout.

For good regulation, place the power components as
close as possible. The traces should be wide and short
enough especially for the high current loop.

Minimize the size of the LX node and keep it wide and
shorter.

The exposed pad of the chip should be connected to a
strong ground plane for maximum thermal consideration.
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 3 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
