The RT8071C uses a constant frequency, current mode architecture. In normal operation, the high-side P-MOSFET is turned on when the Switch Controller is set by the oscillator (OSC) and is turned off when the current comparator resets the switch controller. High-side MOSFET peak current is measured by internal RSENSE. The Current Signal is where Slope Compensator works together with sensing voltage of RSENSE. The error amplifier EA adjusts COMP voltage by comparing the feedback signal (VFB) from the output voltage with the internal 0.6V reference. When the load current increases, it causes a drop in the feedback voltage relative to the reference, the COMP voltage then rises to allow higher inductor current to match the load current. UV Comparator Oscillator (OSC) The internal oscillator runs at nominal frequency 1MHz. PGOOD Comparator When the feedback voltage (VFB) is higher than threshold voltage 0.54V, the PGOOD open drain output will be high impedance. Enable There is an internal pull down 500kΩ resistor at EN pin. When the EN pin is higher than 1.6V, the converter will be turned on. The EN pin can be connected to VIN through a 100kΩ resistor for automatic startup. Soft-Start (SS) An internal current source charges an internal capacitor to build the soft-start ramp voltage. The VFB voltage will track the internal ramp voltage during soft-start interval. The maximum soft-start time is 200μs. If the feedback voltage (VFB) is lower than threshold voltage 0.2V, the UV Comparator's output will go high and the Switch Controller will turn off the high-side MOSFET.

DS8071C-01 June 2015 RT8071C Application Information The RT8071C is a single-phase step-down converter. It provides single feedback loop, current mode control with fast transient response. An internal 0.6V reference allows the output voltage to be precisely regulated for low output voltage applications. A fixed switching frequency (1MHz) oscillator and internal compensation are integrated to minimize external component count. Protection features include over current protection, under voltage protection and over temperature protection. Output Voltage Setting Connect a resistive voltage divider at the FB between VOUT and GND to adjust the output voltage. The output voltage is set according to the following equation : VOUT = VREF 1 R1 R2 where VREF is the feedback reference voltage 0.6V (typ.). VOUT R1 FB R2 capacitor. This voltage clamps the voltage at the FB pin, causing PWM pulse width to increase slowly and in turn reduce the output surge current. The internal 0.6V reference takes over the loop control once the internal ramping-up voltage becomes higher than 0.6V. UVLO Protection The RT8071C has input Under-Voltage Lockout protection (UVLO). If the input voltage exceeds the UVLO rising threshold voltage (2.4V typ.), the converter resets and prepares the PWM for operation. If the input voltage falls below the UVLO falling threshold voltage during normal operation, the device will stop switching. The UVLO rising and falling threshold voltage has a hysteresis to prevent noise-caused reset. The power sequence of the VCC and VIN need to be considered if they are powered separately. The driver voltage of high-side MOSET comes from VIN input and internal control circuit is powered by VCC. The VCC has to be powered earlier than the VIN to ensure that the high-side MOSFET has never turned on before the internal control circuit is ready. At power off, the voltage at the VIN has to be removed before the VCC goes below the threshold of UVLO. GND Inductor Selection Figure 1. Setting VOUT with a Voltage Divider Chip Enable and Disable The EN pin allows for power sequencing between the controller bias voltage and another voltage rail. The RT8071C remains in shutdown if the EN pin is lower than 400mV. When the EN pin rises above the VEN trip point, the RT8071C begins a new initialization and soft-start cycle. Internal Soft-Start The RT8071C provides an internal soft-start function to prevent large inrush current and output voltage overshoot when the converter starts up. The soft-start (SS) automatically begins once the chip is enabled. During softstart, the internal soft-start capacitor becomes charged and generates a linear ramping up voltage across the Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. DS8071C-01 June 2015 The switching frequency (on-time) and operating point (% ripple or LIR) determine the inductor value as shown below: VOUT VIN VOUT L= fSW LIR ILOAD(MAX) VIN where LIR is the ratio of the peak-to-peak ripple current to the average inductor current. Find a low loss inductor having the lowest possible DC resistance that fits in the allotted dimensions. Ferrite cores are often the best choice, although powdered iron is inexpensive and can work well at 200kHz. The core must be large enough not to saturate at the peak inductor current (IPEAK) : IPEAK = ILOAD(MAX) + LIR ILOAD(MAX) 2 The calculation above serves as a general reference. To further improve transient response, the output inductor can be further reduced. This relation should be considered along with the selection of the output capacitor. is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. www.richtek.com 9 RT8071C Input Capacitor Selection High quality ceramic input decoupling capacitor, such as X5R or X7R, with values greater than 10μF are recommended for the input capacitor. The X5R and X7R ceramic capacitors are usually selected for power regulator capacitors because the dielectric material has less capacitance variation and more temperature stability. Voltage rating and current rating are the key parameters when selecting an input capacitor. Generally, selecting an input capacitor with voltage rating 1.5 times greater than the maximum input voltage is a conservatively safe design. The input capacitor is used to supply the input RMS current, which can be approximately calculated using the following equation : IIN_RMS = ILOAD VOUT VOUT 1 VIN VIN The next step is selecting a proper capacitor for RMS current rating. One good design is using more than one capacitor with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) in parallel to form a capacitor bank. The input capacitance value determines the input ripple voltage of the regulator. The input voltage ripple can be approximately calculated using the following equation : VIN IOUT(MAX) 0.25 = CIN fSW Output Capacitor Selection The output capacitor and the inductor form a low pass filter in the buck topology. In steady state condition, the ripple current flowing into/out of the capacitor results in ripple voltage. The output voltage ripple (VP-P) can be calculated by the following equation : 1 VP_P = LIR ILOAD(MAX) ESR + 8 COUT fSW When load transient occurs, the output capacitor supplies the load current before the controller can respond. Therefore, the ESR will dominate the output voltage sag during load transient. The output voltage undershoot (VSAG) can be calculated by the following equation : Another parameter that has influence on the output voltage sag is the equivalent series inductance (ESL). The rapid change in load current results in di/dt during transient. Therefore, the ESL contributes to part of the voltage sag. Using a capacitor with low ESL can obtain better transient performance. Generally, using several capacitors connected in parallel can have better transient performance than using a single capacitor for the same total ESR. Unlike the electrolytic capacitor, the ceramic capacitor has relatively low ESR and can reduce the voltage deviation during load transient. However, the ceramic capacitor can only provide low capacitance value. Therefore, use a mixed combination of electrolytic capacitor and ceramic capacitor to obtain better transient performance. Power Good Output (PGOOD) PGOOD is an open-drain type output and requires a pullup resistor. PGOOD is actively held low in soft-start, standby, and shutdown. It is released when the output voltage rises above 90% of nominal regulation point. The PGOOD signal goes low if the output is turned off or is 10% below its nominal regulation point. Under-Voltage Protection (UVP) The output voltage can be continuously monitored for under voltage. When under-voltage protection is enabled, both UGATE and LGATE gate drivers will be forced low if the output is less than 33% of its set voltage threshold. The UVP will be ignored for at least 3ms (typ.) after start up or a rising edge on the EN threshold. Toggle EN threshold or cycle VIN to reset the UVP fault latch and restart the controller. Over-Current Protection (OCP) The RT8071C provides over-current protection by detecting high-side MOSFET peak inductor current. If the sensed peak inductor current is over the current limit threshold, the OCP will be triggered. When OCP is tripped, the RT8071C will keep the over current threshold level until the over current condition is removed. VSAG = ILOAD ESR For a given output voltage sag specification, the ESR value can be determined. Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation.

DS8071C-01 June 2015 RT8071C Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1 Thermal Shutdown (OTP) The device implements an internal thermal shutdown function when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop switching when the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold. Once the die temperature decreases below the hysteresis of 20°C, the device reinstates the power up sequence. 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. For recommended operating condition specifications, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For WDFN-10L 3x3 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 70°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 formulas : Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved.

Derating Curve of Maximum Power Dissipation Layout Considerations Layout is very important in high frequency switching converter design. The PCB can radiate excessive noise and contribute to converter instability with improper layout. Certain points must be considered before starting a layout using the RT8071C. Make 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 encounters high frequency voltage swings so it should be kept in a small area. Keep sensitive components away from the SW node to prevent stray capacitive noise pick-up. Ensure all feedback network connections are short and direct. Place the feedback network as close to the chip as possible. The GND pin and Exposed Pad should be connected to a strong ground plane for heat sinking and noise protection. An example of PCB layout guide is shown in Figure 3 for reference. PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (70°C/W) = 1.429W for WDFN-10L 3x3 package The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance.
