RICHTEK RT8252B

RT8252B
2A, 23V, 1.2MHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
The RT8252B is a high-efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 2A
output current from a 4.5V to 23V input supply. The
RT8252B'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 RT8252B also provides under
voltage protection and thermal shutdown protection. The
low current (<3μA) shutdown mode provides output
disconnect, enabling easy power management in batterypowered systems. The RT8252B is available in a
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

RT8252B
Application Information
The RT8252B is a synchronous high voltage buck converter
that can support the input voltage range from 4.5V to 23V
while providing output current up to 2A.
Output Voltage Setting
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output
voltage as shown in Figure 1.
Soft-Start
The RT8252B 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, it's period will be 13.5ms(typ.).
VOUT

R2

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.
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (<0.4V) will shutdown the device. During shutdown
mode, the RT8252B quiescent current will drops below
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
R EN* resistor and C EN* 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.

Chip Enable
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
RT8252B. Note that the external boot voltage must be
lower than 5.5V.

To prevent enabling circuit when VIN is smaller than the
VOUT target value, a resistive voltage divider can be placed
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 RT8252BH, it provides Hiccup Mode Under Voltage
Protection (UVP). When the FB voltage drops below half
of the feedback reference voltage, VFB, the UVP function
will be triggered and the RT8252BH will shut down for a
period of time and then recover automatically. The Hiccup
Mode UVP can reduce input current in short-circuit
conditions.
Latch-Off Mode
For the RT8252BL, it provides Latch-Off Mode Under
Voltage Protection (UVP). When the FB voltage drops
below half of the feedback reference voltage, VFB, UVP
will be triggered and the RT8252BL will shut down in LatchOff Mode. In shut down condition, the RT8252BL can be
reset by the EN pin or power input VIN.
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
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
www.richtek.com
10
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.

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 :
V
IRMS = IOUT(MAX) OUT
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.
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, one 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.
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.
The output ripple, ΔVOUT , is determined by :
1

ΔVOUT ≤ ΔIL ⎡⎢ESR +
8fCOUT ⎦⎥
⎣
The output ripple will be highest at the maximum input
Checking Transient Response
voltage since ΔIL 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 ΔILOAD (ESR) also begins to charge or discharge
COUT generating 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 is to place an R-C
snubber between SW and GND and make them as close
as possible to the SW pin (see Figure 5). Another method
is 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 of Layout Consideration.
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

RT8252B
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 of
RT8252B, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C.
The junction to ambient thermal resistance θJA is layout
dependent. For PSOP-8 package, the thermal resistance
θJA is 75°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer
thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at
TA = 25°C can be calculated by following formula :
derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of
rising ambient temperature on the maximum power
dissipation allowed.

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.
(a) Copper Area = (2.3 x 2.3) mm2, θJA = 75°C/W
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 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
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA. For RT8252B package, the Figure 7 of

Layout Consideration
For best performance of the RT8252B, the follow layout
guidelines must be strictly followed.
`
SW should be connected to inductor by wide and short
trace. Keep sensitive components away from this trace.
Input capacitor must be placed as close to the IC as
possible.
