RT7271A
6A, 17V, 500kHz CSP Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
The RT7271A is a high efficiency, synchronous step-down
DC/DC converter for applications operating from 4.5V to
17V and requiring up to 6A maximum load. The current
mode architecture of RT7271A allows the transient
response to be optimized. Cycle-by-cycle current limit
provides protection against shorted output and soft-start
eliminates input current surge during start-up. Fault
conditions also include output under voltage protection,
output over voltage protection, and thermal shutdown. The
low current shutdown mode provides output disconnect,
enabling easy power management in battery powered
systems.

Operation
The RT7271A is a constant frequency, current mode
synchronous step-down converter. In normal operation,
the high side N-MOSFET is turned on when the driver
control is set by the oscillator and is turned off when the
current comparator resets the driver control. While the
high side N-MOSFET is turned off, the low side N-MOSFET
is turned on to conduct the inductor current until next
cycle begins.
Error Amplifier
The error amplifier adjusts its output voltage by comparing
the feedback signal (VFB) with the internal 0.6V reference.
When the load current increases, it causes a drop in the
feedback voltage relative to the reference, the error
amplifier's output voltage then rises to allow higher inductor
current to match the load current.
Enable
The converter is turned on when the EN pin is higher than
1.4V. When the EN pin is lower than 1.15V, the converter
will enter shutdown mode.
Soft-Start (SS)
An internal current source charges an internal capacitor
to build a soft-start ramp voltage. The FB voltage will track
the internal ramp voltage during soft-start interval. The
typical soft-start time is 1.5ms.
UV Comparator
If the feedback voltage (VFB) is lower than 0.3V, the UV
Comparator will go high to turn off the high side MOSFET.
The output under voltage protection is designed to operate
in latch mode. When the UV condition is removed, the
controller can be reset by EN pin or VIN pin.
Oscillator
The internal oscillator runs at fixed frequency 500kHz.
Internal Regulator
The regulator provides low voltage power to supply the
internal control circuits and the bootstrap power for high
side gate driver.

Thermal Shutdown
The over temperature protection function will shut down
the switching operation when the junction temperature
exceeds 160°C. Once the junction temperature cools
down by the hysteresis, the converter will automatically
resume switching.

RT7271A
Application Information
The RT7271A is a single-phase Buck 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 (500kHz)
oscillator and internal compensation are integrated to
minimize external component count. Protection features
include over current protection, under voltage protection,
over 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 :
R
VOUT = VREF × ⎛⎜ 1 + FB1 ⎞⎟
R
FB2 ⎠
⎝
where VREF is 0.6V (typ.).
VOUT
RFB1
FB
RFB2
GND
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
RT7271A remains in shutdown if the EN pin is lower than
1.25V. When the EN pin rises above the VEN threshold,
the RT7271A begins a new initialization and soft-start cycle.
Internal Soft-Start
The RT7271A 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
capacitor. This voltage clamps the voltage at the FB pin,
causing PWM pulse width to increase slowly and in turn

10
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 RT7271A provides input Under Voltage Lockout
Protection (UVLO). If the input voltage exceeds the UVLO
rising threshold voltage (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.
Inductor Selection
The switching frequency (on-time) and operating point (%
ripple or LIR) determine the inductor value as shown below:
L=
VOUT × ( VIN − VOUT )
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 and will not 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.
Input Capacitor Selection
High quality ceramic input decoupling capacitor, such as
X5R or X7R, with values greater than 20μF 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.

DS7271A-00 February 2013
RT7271A
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. A good design uses 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 :
ΔVIN =
IOUT(MAX) × VOUT
CIN × fSW × VIN
For example, if IOUT_MAX = 6A, CIN = 22μF, fSW = 500kHz,
VIN = 12V and VOUT = 1.05V, the input voltage ripple will
be 47.7mV.
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 :
VSAG = ΔILOAD × ESR
For a given output voltage sag specification, the ESR value
can be determined.
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.

DS7271A-00 February 2013
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 output and requires a pull-up
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 VOUT under 85% of
setting.
Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
The output voltage can be continuously monitored for under
voltage protection. Both high side and low side gate drivers
will be forced to low if the output is less than 50% of its
set voltage threshold. The UVP will be ignored for at least
1.5ms (typ.) after start up or a rising edge on the EN
threshold. Remove the UVP fault latch by reseting the
EN pin and VIN to restart the controller.
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The RT7271A is latched once OVP is triggered and can
only be released by toggling EN threshold or cycling VIN.
There is a 20μs delay built into the over voltage protection
circuit to prevent false transition.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The RT7271A provides over current protection by detecting
high side MOSFET peak inductor current. If the sensed
peak inductor current is over the current limit threshold
(12A typ.), the OCP will be triggered. When OCP is tripped,
the RT7271A will keep the over current threshold level
until the over current condition is removed.

Thermal Shutdown (OTP)
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 of
the RT7271A, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C
and TA is the ambient temperature. The junction to ambient
thermal resistance, θ JA , is layout dependent. For
WL-CSP-12B 1.65x1.95 (BSC), the thermal resistance,
θJA, is 53°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 :
P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (53°C/W) = 1.88W for
WL-CSP-12B 1.65x1.95 (BSC) package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 2 allow the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1
The device implements an internal thermal shutdown
function when the junction temperature exceeds 160°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 10°C, the device reinstates the
power up sequence.

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 RT7271A.
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).
LX node encounters high frequency voltage swings so it
should be kept in a small area. Keep sensitive
components away from the LX 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 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.
