RT7270
3A, 18V, 340kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
The RT7270 is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 3A
output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The
RT7270's current mode architecture and external
compensation allow the transient response to be
optimized over a wide input voltage range and loads.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against
shorted outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current
surge during start-up. The RT7270 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 RT7270 is available in an
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Application Information
Output Voltage Setting
Soft-Start
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output
voltage as shown in Figure 1.
The RT7270 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 :

Where VREF is the reference voltage (0.925V 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
RT7270. 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 shutdown the device. During shutdown
mode, the RT7270 quiescent current drops to lower than
3μA. Driving the EN pin high (>2.5V, <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).

Over Temperature Protection
CIN and COUT Selection
The RT7270 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
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 ⎦ ⎣
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) ⎦
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.

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.
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 best, this
ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop
instability. At worst, a sudden inrush of current through

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 :
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)
As shown in Figure 5, 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 5.a), θJA is 75°C/W.
Adding copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed
Pad) (Figure 5.b) reduces the θJA to 64°C/W. Even further,
increasing the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 5.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 6 of derating curves allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation allowed.

Figure 6. Derating Curve of Maximum Power Dissipation
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.

Layout Consideration
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance
of the RT7270.
(a) Copper Area = (2.3 x 2.3) mm2, θJA = 75°C/W
`
Keep 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 is with high frequency voltage swing and
should be kept at small area. Keep analog components
away from the SW node to prevent stray capacitive noise
pick-up.
`
Connect feedback network behind the output capacitors.
Keep the loop area small. Place the feedback
components near the RT7270.
`
An example of PCB layout guide is shown in Figure 7
for reference.
(b) Copper Area = 10mm2, θJA = 64°C/W
(c) Copper Area = 30mm2 , θJA = 54°C/W
(d) Copper Area = 50mm2 , θJA = 51°C/W
(e) Copper Area = 70mm2 , θJA = 49°C/W
