DS7272A-01 January 2013 RT7272A Operation The RT7272A is a constant frequency, current mode synchronous step-down converter. In normal operation, the high side N-MOSFET is turned on when the S-R latch is set by the oscillator and is turned off when the current comparator resets the S-R latch. 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 0.8V 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. Oscillator The internal oscillator runs at fixed frequency 500kHz. In short circuit condition, the frequency is reduced to 75kHz for low power consumption. 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 2ms. Current Setting The current limit of high side MOSFET is adjustable by an external resistor connected to the RLIM pin. The current limit range is from 2A to 6A. When the inductor current reaches the current limit threshold, the COMP voltage will be clamped to limit the inductor current. UV Comparator If the feedback voltage (VFB) is lower than 0.4V, the UV Comparator will go high to turn off the high side MOSFET. The output under voltage protection is designed to operate in Hiccup mode. When the UV condition is removed, the converter will resume switching. Thermal shutdown Internal Regulator The regulator provides low voltage power to supply the internal control circuits and the bootstrap power for high side gate driver. Enable The over temperature protection function will shut down the switching operation when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. Once the junction temperature cools down by approximately 20°C, the converter will automatically resume switching. The converter is turned on when the EN pin is higher than 2V. When the EN pin is lower than 0.4V, the converter will enter shutdown mode and reduce the supply current to 0.5μA. Copyright © 2013 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved.

DS7272A-01 January 2013 RT7272A Application Information Output Voltage Setting Chip Enable Operation The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output voltage as shown in Figure 1. The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin low (<0.4V) will shutdown the device. During shutdown mode, the RT7272A 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). VOUT R1 FB RT7272A R2 GND EN Figure 1. Output Voltage Setting VIN REN EN RT7272A CEN The output voltage is set by an external resistive voltage divider according to the following equation : VOUT = VREF ⎛⎜ 1+ R1 ⎞⎟ ⎝ R2 ⎠ Where VREF is the reference voltage (0.8V typ.). External Bootstrap Diode Connect a 0.1μF low ESR ceramic capacitor between the BOOT and SW pins. 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 RT7272A. Note that the external boot voltage must be lower than 5.5V 5V 100nF SW Figure 2.

Digital Enable Control Circuit Under Voltage Protection Hiccup Mode BOOT RT7272A GND The RT7272A provides Hiccup Mode Under Voltage Protection (UVP). When the VFB voltage drops below 0.4V, the UVP function will be triggered to shut down switching operation. If the UVP condition remains for a period, the RT7272A will retry automatically. When the UVP condition is removed, the converter will resume operation. The UVP is disabled during soft-start period. is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. www.richtek.com 9 RT7272A Hiccup Mode 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 (2V/Div) Table 2. Suggested Inductors for Typical Application Circuit ILX (2A/Div) IOUT = Short Time (50ms/Div) Figure 5. Hiccup Mode Under Voltage Protection Over Temperature Protection The RT7272A 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. 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 − VIN(MAX) ⎥ f I × Δ L(MAX) ⎣ ⎦ ⎣ ⎦ Copyright © 2013 Richtek Technology Corporation.

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 : V IRMS = IOUT(MAX) OUT VIN VIN −1 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 + 8fCOUT ⎥⎦ ⎣ is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. DS7272A-01 January 2013 RT7272A 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 the long wires can potentially cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the part. 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 of RT7272A, 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 : 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. 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. The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance θJA. The Figure 7 of derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation allowed. 2.2 Four-Layer PCB 2.0 Power Dissipation (W) The output ripple will be the highest at the maximum input 1.8 Copper Area 70mm2 50mm2 30mm2 10mm2 Min.Layout 1.6 1.4 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0.0 0 25 50 75 100 125 Ambient Temperature (°C) Figure 7.
