RT8293A
3A, 23V, 340kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
The RT8293A is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 3A
output current from a 4.5V to 23V input supply. The
RT8293A's current mode architecture and external
compensation allow the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against
shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current
surge during start-up. The RT8293A also provides output
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 RT8293A is available in
an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Pin Function
Bootstrap for high side gate driver. Connect a 0.1µF or greater ceramic
capacitor from BOOT to SW pins.
Input Supply Voltage, 4.5V to 23V. Must bypass with a suitably large ceramic
capacitor.
Phase Node. Connect to external L-C filter.
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum power dissipation.
Feedback Input pin. This pin is connected to the converter output. It is used to
set the output of the converter to regulate to the desired value via an internal
resistive voltage divider. For an adjustable output, an external resistive
voltage divider is connected to this pin.
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control
loop. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND. In some cases, an
additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required.
Enable Input Pin. A logic high enables the converter; a logic low forces the
RT8293A into shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 3µA.
Attach this pin to VIN with a 100kΩ pull up resistor for automatic startup.
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor
from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1µF capacitor sets the
soft-start period to 13.5ms.

Application Information
The RT8293A is a synchronous high voltage buck converter
that can support the input voltage range from 4.5V to 23V
and the output current can be up to 3A.
Output Voltage Setting
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output
voltage as shown in Figure 1.
Soft-Start
The RT8293A contains an external soft-start clamp that
gradually raises the output voltage. The soft-start timing
can be programmed by the external capacitor between
SS pin and GND. The chip provides a 6µA charge current
for the external capacitor. If 0.1µF capacitor is used to
set the soft-start, the period will be 13.5ms(typ.).

Figure 1. Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage is set by an external resistive voltage
divider according to the following equation :
VOUT = VFB  1+ R1 
 R2 
where VFB is the feedback reference voltage (0.8V typ.).
External Bootstrap Diode
Connect a 100nF 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
RT8293A. Note that the external boot voltage must be
lower than 5.5V.

The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (<0.4V) will shut down the device. During shutdown
mode, the RT8293A quiescent current drops to lower than
3µA. Driving the EN pin high (>2.7V, < 5.5V) will turn on
the device again. For external timing control (e.g.RC),
the EN pin can also be externally pulled high by adding a
REN* resistor and CEN* capacitor from the VIN pin (see
Figure 5).
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 3. 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.

To prevent enabling circuit when VIN is smaller than the

between the input voltage and ground and connected to
the EN pin to adjust IC lockout threshold, as shown in
Figure 4. For example, if an 8V output voltage is regulated
from a 12V input voltage, the resistor, REN2, can be
selected to set input lockout threshold larger than 8V.

Hiccup Mode
For the RT8293AH, Hiccup Mode Under Voltage Protection

of the feedback reference voltage, VFB, the UVP function
will be triggered and the RT8293AH will shut down for a
period of time and then recover automatically. The Hiccup

The inductor's current rating (caused a 40°C temperature

be greater than the short circuit peak current limit. Please

CIN and COUT Selection
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
RMS current is given by :
For the RT8293AL, Latch-Off Mode Under Voltage
Protection (UVP) is provided. When the FB voltage drops
below half of the feedback reference voltage, VFB, UVP
will be triggered and the RT8293AL will shutdown in LatchOff Mode. In shutdown condition, the RT8293AL can be
reset via the EN pin or power input VIN.
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT , where

The inductor value and operating frequency determine the

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
highest efficiency operation. However, it requires a large
inductor to achieve this goal.
For the ripple current selection, the value of ∆IL = 0.24(IMAX)
will be a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple
current occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the

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.
For the input capacitor,two 10µF low ESR ceramic
capacitors are recommended. For the recommended
capacitor, please refer to table 3 for more detail.
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, ∆VOUT , is determined by :

voltage since ∆IL increases with input voltage. Multiple
capacitors placed in parallel may be needed to meet the
ESR and RMS current handling requirement. Dry tantalum,
special polymer, aluminum electrolytic and ceramic
capacitors are all available in surface mount packages.
Special polymer capacitors offer very low ESR value.
However, it provides lower capacitance density than other
types. Although Tantalum capacitors have the highest
capacitance density, it is important to only use types that
pass the surge test for use in switching power supplies.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have significantly higher
ESR. However, it can be used in cost-sensitive applications
for ripple current rating and long term reliability
considerations. Ceramic capacitors have excellent low
ESR characteristics but can have a high voltage coefficient
and audible piezoelectric effects. The high Q of ceramic
capacitors with trace inductance can also lead to significant
ringing.
The regulator loop response can be checked by looking
at the load transient response. Switching regulators take
several cycles to respond to a step in load current. When
a load step occurs, VOUT immediately shifts by an amount
equal to ∆ILOAD (ESR) and COUT also begins to be charged
or discharged to generate a feedback error signal for the
regulator to return VOUT to its steady-state value. During
this recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for overshoot or
ringing that would indicate a stability problem.
EMI Consideration
Since parasitic inductance and capacitance effects in PCB
circuitry would cause a spike voltage on SW pin when
high side MOSFET is turned-on/off, this spike voltage on
SW may impact on EMI performance in the system. In
order to enhance EMI performance, there are two methods
to suppress the spike voltage. One way is to by placing
an R-C snubber between SW and GND and locating them
as close as possible to the SW pin (see Figure 5). Another
method is by adding a resistor in series with the bootstrap
capacitor, CBOOT , but this method will decrease the driving
capability to the high side MOSFET. It is strongly
recommended to reserve the R-C snubber during PCB
layout for EMI improvement. Moreover, reducing the SW
trace area and keeping the main power in a small loop will
be helpful on EMI performance. For detailed PCB layout
guide, please refer to the section Layout Considerations.
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 best, this ringing can couple to the output
and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden

RT8293A
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 :
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.
resistance θJA. For RT8293A packages, the derating curves
in Figure 7 allow the designer to see the effect of rising
ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation.

For recommended operating conditions specification of
RT8293A, 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

(a) Copper Area = (2.3 x 2.3) mm2, θJA = 75°C/W
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. W hen mount ed 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 6.b) reduces the θJA to 64°C/W. Even further
increasing the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 6.e)
reduces the θJA to 49°C/W.
(b) Copper Area = 10mm2, θJA = 64°C/W
(c) Copper Area = 30mm2 , θJA = 54°C/W
