® RT7237J 2A, 18V, 340kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter General Description Features The RT7237J is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 2A output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The RT7237J's current mode architecture and external compensation allow the transient response to be optimized over a wide input range and loads. Cycle-bycycle current limit provides protection against shorted outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current surge during start-up. The RT7237J also provides under voltage protection and thermal shutdown protection. The low current (<3μA) shutdown mode provides output disconnection, enabling easy power management in battery-powered systems. The RT7237J is available in an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package. z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z ±1.5% High Accuracy Reference Voltage 4.5V to 18V Input Voltage Range 2A Output Current Integrated N-MOSFET Switches Current Mode Control Fixed Frequency Operation : 340kHz Output Adjustable from 0.8V to 15V Stable with Low ESR Ceramic Output Capacitors Up to 95% Efficiency Adjustable Soft-Start Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit Input Under Voltage Lockout Output Under Voltage Protection Thermal Shutdown Protection RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free Applications z z z z z z Wireless AP/Router Set-Top-Box Industrial and Commercial Low Power Systems LCD Monitors and TVs Green Electronics/Appliances Point of Load Regulation of High-Performance DSPs Simplified Application Circuit BOOT VIN VIN CIN CBOOT RT7237J Chip Enable VOUT R1 EN SS CC GND Copyright © 2012 Richtek Technology Corporation.

The RT7237J provides soft-start function. The soft-start function is used to prevent large inrush current while converter is being powered-up. The soft-start timing can be programmed by the external capacitor between SS and GND. An internal current source ISS (6μA) charges an external capacitor to build a soft-start ramp voltage. The VFB voltage will track the internal ramp voltage during softstart interval. The typical soft start time is calculated as follows : 0.8 × CSS Soft-Start time tSS = , if CSS capacitor ISS VOUT R1 FB RT7237J R2 GND Figure 1. Output Voltage Setting The output voltage is set by an external resistive voltage divider according to the following equation : VOUT = VREF ⎛⎜ 1+ R1 ⎞⎟ ⎝ R2 ⎠ Where VREF is the reference voltage (0.8V typ.). External Bootstrap Diode Connect a 0.1μF low ESR ceramic capacitor between the BOOT pin and SW pin. This capacitor provides the gate driver voltage for the high side MOSFET. It is recommended to add an external bootstrap diode between an external 5V and BOOT pin for efficiency improvement when input voltage is lower than 5.5V or duty ratio is higher than 65% .The bootstrap diode can be a low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54. The external 5V can be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output of the RT7237J. Note that the external boot voltage must be lower than 5.5V 5V BOOT RT7237J 0.1µF is 0.1μF, then soft-start time = Chip Enable Operation The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin low (<0.4V) will shut down the device. During shutdown mode, the RT7237J quiescent current drops to lower than 3μA. Driving the EN pin high (>2V, <18V) will turn on the device again. For external timing control, the EN pin can also be externally pulled high by adding a REN resistor and CEN capacitor from the VIN pin (see Figure 3). EN VIN REN EN RT7237J CEN GND Figure 3. Enable Timing Control An external MOSFET can be added to implement digital control on the EN pin when no system voltage above 2.5V is available, as shown in Figure 4. In this case, a 100kΩ pull-up resistor, REN, is connected between VIN and the EN pin. MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control to pull down the EN pin. SW VIN Figure 2.

DS7237J-00 September 2012 RT7237J Under Voltage Protection Hiccup Mode For the RT7237J, it provides Hiccup Mode Under Voltage Protection (UVP). When the VFB voltage drops below 0.4V, the UVP function will be triggered to shut down switching operation. If the UVP condition remains for a period, the RT7237J will retry automatically. When the UVP condition is removed, the converter will resume operation. The UVP is disabled during soft-start period. Hiccup Mode Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR losses in the output capacitors but also the output voltage ripple. High frequency with small ripple current can achieve the highest efficiency operation. However, it requires a large inductor to achieve this goal. For the ripple current selection, the value of ΔIL = 0.24(IMAX) will be a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple current occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple current stays below the specified maximum, the inductor value should be chosen according to the following equation : ⎡ VOUT ⎤ ⎡ VOUT ⎤ L =⎢ × ⎢1 − ⎥ ⎥ ⎣ f × ΔIL(MAX) ⎦ ⎣ VIN(MAX) ⎦ VOUT (2V/Div) The inductor's current rating (caused a 40°C temperature rising from 25°C ambient) should be greater than the maximum load current and its saturation current should be greater than the short circuit peak current limit. Please see Table 2 for the inductor selection reference. I SW (1A/Div) IOUT = Short Time (25ms/Div) Figure 5. Hiccup Mode Under Voltage Protection Over Temperature Protection Table 2. Suggested Inductors for Typical Application Circuit Component Supplier Series Dimensions (mm) TDK VLF10045 10 x 9.7 x 4.5 TDK TAIYO YUDEN SLF12565 12.5 x 12.5 x 6.5 NR8040 8x8x4 The RT7237J features an Over Temperature Protection (OTP) circuitry to prevent from overheating due to excessive power dissipation. The OTP will shut down switching operation when junction temperature exceeds 150°C. Once the junction temperature cools down by approximately 20°C, the converter will resume operation. To maintain continuous operation, the maximum junction temperature should be lower than 125°C. The input capacitance, C IN, is needed to filter the trapezoidal current at the source of the high side MOSFET. To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The approximate RMS current equation is given : Inductor Selection V IRMS = IOUT(MAX) OUT VIN The inductor value and operating frequency determine the ripple current according to a specific input and output voltage. The ripple current ΔIL increases with higher VIN and decreases with higher inductance. V V ΔIL = ⎡⎢ OUT ⎤⎥ × ⎡⎢1− OUT ⎤⎥ VIN ⎦ ⎣ f ×L ⎦ ⎣ Copyright © 2012 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. DS7237J-00 September 2012 CIN and COUT Selection VIN −1 VOUT This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT / 2. This simple worst case condition is commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet size or height requirements in the design. is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. www.richtek.com 11 RT7237J For the input capacitor, two 10μF low ESR ceramic capacitors are suggested. For the suggested capacitor, please refer to Table 3 for more details. The selection of COUT is determined by the required ESR to minimize voltage ripple. Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key for COUT selection to ensure that the control loop is stable. Loop stability can be checked by viewing the load transient response as described in a later section. The output ripple, ΔVOUT , is determined by : 1 ⎤ ΔVOUT ≤ ΔIL ⎡⎢ESR + 8fC OUT ⎥⎦ ⎣ The output ripple will be the highest at the maximum input voltage since ΔIL increases with input voltage. Multiple capacitors placed in parallel may be needed to meet the ESR and RMS current handling requirement. Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal for switching regulator applications. However, care must be taken when these capacitors are used at input and output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the input, VIN. At worst, a sudden inrush of current through the long wires can potentially cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the part. Thermal Considerations For continuous operation, do not exceed the maximum operation junction temperature 125°C. The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula : Copyright © 2012 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. www.richtek.com 12 PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA ) / θJA Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature , TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For recommended operating conditions specification, 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 75°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layers thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by following formula : P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (75°C/W) = 1.333W (min.copper area PCB layout) P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (49°C/W) = 2.04W (70mm2copper area PCB layout) The thermal resistance θJA of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is determined by the package architecture design and the PCB layout design. However, the package architecture design had been designed. If possible, it's useful to increase thermal performance by the PCB layout copper design. The thermal resistance θJA can be decreased by adding copper area under the exposed pad of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package. As shown in Figure 6, the amount of copper area to which the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is mounted affects thermal performance. When mounted to the standard SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) pad (Figure 6.a), θJA is 75°C/W. Adding copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) (Figure 7.b) reduces the θJA to 64°C/W. Even further, increasing the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 8.e) reduces the θJA to 49°C/W. The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance θJA. The Figure 7 of derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation allowed. is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation.
