RT8476A
Application Information
The RT8476A consists of a constant output current Buck
controller and a fixed off-time controlled Boost controller.
The Boost controller is based on a peak current, fixed offtime control architecture and is designed to operate up to
800kHz to use a very small inductor for space constrained
applications. A high-side current sense resistor is used
to set the output current of the Buck controller. A 1%
sense resistor performs a ±5% LED current accuracy for
the best performance.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The RT8476A includes an under-voltage lookout function
with 100mV hysteresis. The internal MOSFET turns off
when VCC falls below 4.2V (typ.).
CREG Regulator
The CREG pin requires a capacitor for stable operation
and to store the charge for the large GATE switching
currents. Choose a 10V rated low ESR, X7R or X5R,
ceramic capacitor for best performance. A 4.7μF capacitor
will be adequate for many applications. Place the capacitor
close to the IC to minimize the trace length to the CREG
pin and to the IC ground. An internal current limit on the
CREG output protects the RT8476A from excessive onchip power dissipation.
The CREG pin has set the output to 4.3V (typ.) to protect
the external FETs from excessive power dissipation
caused by not being fully enhanced. If the CREG pin is
used to drive extra circuits beside RT8476A, the extra
loads should be limited to less than 10mA.
Gate Driver
There are two gate drivers, GATE1 and GATE2, in the
RT8476A. The Gate driver consists of a CMOS buffer
designed to drive the external power MOSFET. It features
unbalanced source and sink capabilities to optimize switch
on and off performance without additional external
components. Whenever the IC supply voltage is lower than
the under-voltage threshold, the Gate Driver is pulled low.
Analog Dimming Control
The ACTL terminal is driven by an external voltage, VACTL,
to adjust the output current to an average value set by

www.richtek.com
10
RSENSE. The voltage range for VACTL to adjust the output
current is from 0.24V to 2.5V. If VACTL becomes larger
than 2.5V, the output current value will just be determined
by the external/resistor, RSENSE.
V
 0.24
IOUT avg = 0.13V  ACTL
RSENSE
2.5
ACTL Control
The ACTL pin is the dimming function pin with the DC
level proportional to the output LED current until ACTL
clamp voltage that is the max output current (100%).
Average Output Current Setting
The output current that flows through the LED string is
set by an external resistor, RSENSE, which is connected
between the VCC and ISN terminal. The relationship
between output current, IOUT, and RSENSE is shown as
below :
IOUT = 130mV
RSENSE
LED Current Ripple Reduction
Higher LED current ripple will shorten the LED life time
and increase heat accumulation of LED. To reduce the
LED current ripple, an output capacitor in parallel with the
LED should be added. The typical value of output capacitor
is 4.7μF.
VCC Voltage Setting
The VCC voltage setting is equipped with an Over-Voltage
Protection (OVP) function. When the voltage at the OVP
pin exceeds threshold approximately 1.9V, the power
switch is turned off. The power switch can be turned on
again once the voltage at the OVP pin drops below 1.6V.
For Boost applications, the output voltage can be set by
the following equation :
VCC(MAX) = 1.9 x (1 + R4 / R5)
R4 and R5 are the voltage divider resistors from VOUT to
GND with the divider center node connected to the OVP
pin. For MR16 LED lamp application, the minimum voltage
of VCC should maintain above 25V for stable operation.

RT8476A
Step-Down Converter Inductor Selection
The RT8476A implemented a simple high efficiency,
continuous mode inductive step-down converter. The
inductance L2 in Buck converter is determined by the
following factors : inductor ripple current, switching
frequency, VOUT/VIN ratio, internal MOSFET, topology
specifications, and component parameter. The inductance
L2 is calculated according to the following equation :
L2 ≥ [VCC(MAX) − VOUT − VISN − (RDS2(ON) x IOUT)] x D / [fSW
x ΔIOUT]
where
fsw is switching frequency (Hz).
will pull low after fixed delay time 1.5μs (typ.) and then
turn on again after OVP operation is removed. This cycle
repeats, keeping the output voltage within a small window.
Following the constant off-time mechanism, the inductance
L1 is calculated according to the following equation :
L1 > tOFF x (VCC(MAX) − VIN(MIN) + VF) / ILIM
where
tOFF is Off-Time. The typical value is 1.5μs.
ILIM is the input current. The typical value is 2A for MR16
application.
VCC is the supply input voltage (V)
VIN is the input voltage after bridge diodes (V)
RDS2(ON) is the low-side switch on-resistance of external
MOSFET (M2). The typical value is 0.35Ω.
VF is the forward voltage (V)
D is the duty cycle = VOUT / VIN
L1 is the inductance (H)
IOUT is the required LED current (A)
D = 1 − (VIN / VOUT)
ΔIOUT is the inductor peak-peak ripple current (internally
set to 0.3 x IOUT)
fSW = (1 − D) / tOFF
VCC is the supply input voltage (V)
D is the operation duty
VOUT is the total LED forward voltage (V)
fSW is the switching frequency of Boost controller.
VISN is the voltage cross current sense resistor (V)
Check the ILIM setting satisfied the output LED current
request by the following equation :
L2 is the inductance (H)
The selected inductor must have saturation current higher
than the peak output LED current and continuous current
rating above the required average output LED current. In
general, the inductor saturation current should be 1.5
times the LED current. In order to minimize output current
ripple, higher values of inductance are recommended at
higher supply voltages. Because high values of inductance
has high line resistance, it will cause lower efficiency.
where
(IOUT + ΔIOUT) < [2 x L1 x ILIM + tOFF x (VIN − VOUT − VF)] x
VIN / [2 x L1 x (VCC)]
Diode Selection
To obtain better efficiency, the Schottky diode is
recommended for its low reverse leakage current, low
recovery time and low forward voltage. With its low power
dissipation, the Schottky diode outperforms other silicon
diodes and increases overall efficiency.
Step-Up Converter Inductor Selection
The RT8476A uses a constant off-time control to provide
high efficiency step-up converter. The resistor, R6, between
the Source of the external N-MOSFET and GND should
be selected to provide adequate switch maximum current
to drive the application. The current limit threshold on the
CS pin of the RT8476A is 240mV (typ.). When the CS pin
voltage is higher than the 240mV reference, the
comparator will disable the power section. The GATE1

Input Capacitor selection
Input capacitor has to supply peak current to the inductor
and flatten the current ripple on the input. The low ESR
condition is required to avoid increasing power loss. The
ceramic capacitor is recommended due to its excellent
high frequency characteristic and low ESR, which are
suitable for the RT8476A. For maximum stability over the
entire operating temperature range, capacitors with better
dielectric are suggested.

Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1
Thermal Protection
A thermal protection feature is to protect the RT8476A
from excessive heat damage. When the junction
temperature exceeds 150°C, the thermal protection will
turn off the LX terminal. When the junction temperature
drops below 125°C, the RT8476A will turn on the LX
terminal and return to normal operation.
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
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 1 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

Layout Consideration
PCB layout is very important to design power switching
converter circuits. Some recommended layout guidelines
are suggested as follows :

The power components L1, D6, M1, CIN, and COUT must
be placed as close to each other as possible to reduce
the ac current loop area. The power components L2,
D7, and M2 must be placed as close to each other as
possible to reduce the ac current loop area. The PCB
trace between power components must be as short and
wide as possible due to large current flow through these
traces during operation.

The capacitor COUT, C6 and external resistor, RSENSE,
must be placed as close as possible to the VCC and
ISN pins of the device respectively.

The GND should be connected to a strong ground plane.

Keep the main current traces as short and wide as
possible.
For recommended operating condition specifications, 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 29°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 :
P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (29°C/W) = 3.44W for
