® RT8035 Dual 800mA, 1.25MHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter General Description Features The RT8035 is a high-efficiency Pulse-Width-Modulated (PWM) dual step-down DC/DC converter. Capable of delivering up to 800mA output current over a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V, the RT8035 is ideally suited for portable electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell Li-ion battery or from other power sources such as cellular phones, PDAs, PC WLAN card and hand-held devices. z Three operating modes are available including : PWM mode, Low-Dropout Mode and shut-down mode. The Internal synchronous rectifier with low RDS(ON) dramatically z reduces conduction loss at PWM mode. No external Schottky diode is required in practical application. The RT8035 enters Low-Dropout mode when normal PWM cannot provide regulated output voltage by continuously turning on the upper P-MOSFET. The RT8035 enters shutdown mode and consumes less than 0.1μA when the EN pin is pulled low. z z z z z z z z 2.5V to 5.5V Input Range 800mA Output Current 1.25MHz Fixed Frequency PWM Operation 95% Efficiency No Schottky Diode Required 0.6V Reference Allows Low Output Voltage Low Dropout Operation : 100% Duty Cycle Small 10-Lead WDFN Package RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free Applications z z z z Portable Instruments Microprocessors and DSP Core Supplies Cellular Phones Wireless and DSL Modems PC Cards Pin Configurations 1 2 3 4 5 11 10 9 8 7 9 EN1 FB1 VIN2 GND LX2 GND (TOP VIEW) The switching ripple is easily smoothed-out by small package filtering elements due to the fixed operating frequency of 1.25MHz.

DS8035-05 October 2012 RT8035 Applications Information The basic RT8035 application circuit is shown in Typical Application Circuit. External component selection is determined by the maximum load current and begins with the selection of the inductor value and operating frequency followed by CIN and COUT. Inductor Selection For a given input and output voltage, the inductor value and operating frequency determine the ripple current. The ripple current ΔIL increases with higher VIN and decreases with higher inductance. ⎡V ⎤ ⎡ V ⎤ ΔIL = ⎢ OUT ⎥ × ⎢1 − OUT ⎥ f L × V IN ⎦ ⎣ ⎦ ⎣ Having a lower ripple current reduces the ESR losses in the output capacitors and the output voltage ripple. Highest efficiency operation is achieved at low frequency with small ripple current. This, however, requires a large inductor. A reasonable starting point for selecting the ripple current is ΔIL = 0.4(IMAX). The largest ripple current occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple current stays below a specified maximum, the inductor value should be chosen according to the following equation : VOUT ⎤ ⎡ VOUT ⎤ ⎡ L=⎢ × ⎢1 − ⎥ ⎣ f × ΔIL(MAX) ⎥⎦ ⎣ VIN(MAX) ⎦ Inductor Core Selection Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must be selected. High efficiency converters generally cannot afford the core loss found in low cost powdered iron cores, forcing the use of more expensive ferrite or mollypermalloy cores. Actual core loss is independent of core size for a fixed inductor value but it is very dependent on the inductance selected. As the inductance increases, core losses decrease. Unfortunately, increased inductance requires more turns of wire and therefore copper losses will increase. Ferrite designs have very low core losses and are preferred at high switching frequencies, so design goals can concentrate on copper loss and preventing saturation. Ferrite core material saturates “hard”, which means that Copyright © 2012 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. DS8035-05 October 2012 inductance collapses abruptly when the peak design current is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in inductor ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple. Do not allow the core to saturate! Different core materials and shapes will change the size/ current and price/current relationship of an inductor. Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials are small and don't radiate energy but generally cost more than powdered iron core inductors with similar characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use mainly depends on the price vs size requirements and any radiated field/EMI requirements. CIN and COUT Selection The input capacitance, C IN, is needed to filter the trapezoidal current at the source of the top MOSFET. To prevent large ripple voltage, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. RMS current is given by : IRMS = IOUT(MAX) VOUT VIN VIN −1 VOUT This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where I RMS = I OUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Note that ripple current ratings from capacitor manufacturers are often based on only 2000 hours of life which makes it advisable to further derate the capacitor, or 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. The selection of COUT is determined by the effective series resistance (ESR) that is required to minimize voltage ripple and load step transients, as well as the amount of bulk capacitance that is necessary 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 ⎦ ⎣ is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. www.richtek.com 7 RT8035 The output ripple is highest at 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 requirements. Dry tantalum, special polymer, aluminum electrolytic and ceramic capacitors are all available in surface mount packages. Special polymer capacitors offer very low ESR but have lower capacitance density than other types. Tantalum capacitors have the highest capacitance density but it is important to only use types that have been surge tested for use in switching power supplies. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have significantly higher ESR but can be used in cost-sensitive applications provided that consideration is given to ripple current ratings and long term reliability. 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. For adjustable voltage mode, the output voltage is set by an external resistive divider according to the following equation : VOUT = VREF (1 + R1) R2 where VREF is the internal reference voltage (0.6V typ.) Checking Transient Response 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 ΔILOAD (ESR), where ESR is the effective series resistance of COUT. ΔILOAD also begins to charge or discharge COUT generating a feedback error signal used by 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. Thermal Considerations Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors 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 the 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 inrush of current through the long wires can potentially cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the part. Output Voltage Setting The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense a fraction of the output voltage as shown in Figure 1. VOUT R1 FB RT8035 For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operation junction temperature. 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. For recommended operating conditions specification, 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 68°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 : PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (68°C/W) = 1.471W for WDFN-10L 3x3 R2 GND Figure 1.

DS8035-05 October 2012 RT8035 The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance θJA. The Figure 2 of derating curve allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation allowed.

Keep analog components away from the LX 1 / LX 2 node to prevent stray capacitive noise pick-up. ` Place the feedback components as close as possible to the FB1 / FB2 pins. ` The GND and Exposed Pad must be connected to a strong ground plane for heat sinking and noise protection.
