3A, 36V, 500kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT7272B is a high efficiency, current mode
synchronous step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver
up to 3A output current over a wide input voltage range
from 4.5V to 36V. The device integrates a 150m high
side and a 80m low side MOSFET to achieve high
conversion efficiency up to 95%. The current mode control
architecture supports fast tran sient response and simple
compensation circuit.
A cycle-by-cycle current limit function provides protection
against shorted output and an internal soft-start eliminates
input current surge during start-up. The RT7272B provides
complete protection functions such a s input under-voltage
lockout, output under-voltage protection, over-current
protection and thermal shutdown.
The RT7272B is available in the thermal enhanced SOP-8
(Exposed Pad) pa ckage.

Operation
The RT7272B 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 a nd is turned of f 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 a mplifier adjusts its output voltage by comparing
the feedback signal (VFB) with the internal 0.8V reference.
When the load current increase s, it causes a drop in the
feedback voltage relative to the reference. The error
a mplifier'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.
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 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.
Soft-Start (SS)
An internal current source charges an internal capacitor
to build a soft-start ra mp 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 ra nge is from 1.9A to 7A. 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
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.

Under Voltage Protection
Hiccup Mode
The RT7272B 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
RT7272B will retry automatically . When the UVP condition
is removed, the converter will resume operation. The UVP
is disabled during soft-start period.
Application Information
Output Voltage Setting
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output
voltage a s shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage is set by a n external resistive voltage
divider a ccording to the following equation :
OUT REF
R1
V = V 1
R2

+


Where VREF is the reference voltage (0.8V typ.).
External Bootstrap Diode
Connect a 0.1µF low ESR cera mic ca pacitor between the
BOOT and SW pins. This ca pacitor 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 BA T54. The external 5V
ca n be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output of the
RT7272B. Note that the external boot voltage must be
lower than 5.5V
Figure 2. External Bootstra p Diode
Chip Enable Operation
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (<0.4V) will shutdown the device. During shutdown
mode, the RT7272B quiescent current drops to lower than
3µA. Driving the EN pin high (>2V, <36V) will turn on the
device again. For external ti ming control, the EN pin ca n
also be externally pulled high by adding a REN resistor
a nd CEN ca pa citor from the VIN pin (see Figure 3).
An external MOSFET ca n be added to i mplement digital
control on the EN pin when no system voltage above 2.5V
is available, as shown in Figure 4. In this case, a 100k
pull-up resistor, R EN, is connected between VIN and the
EN pin. MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control to pull
down the EN pin.

Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR
losses in the output ca pacitors 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 a chieve this goal.
For the ripple current selection, the value of IL = 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 :

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. Plea se

Over Temperature Protection
The RT7272B 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
a pproximately 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 IL increases with higher VIN
and decrea ses with higher inductance.

CIN and COUT Selection
The input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidal current at the Source of the high side MOSFET .
To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input ca pacitor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The
a pproxi mate RMS current equation is given :
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 Ta ble 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 will be the highest at the maximum input
voltage since IL increases with input voltage. Multiple
capa citors pla ced in parallel may be needed to meet the
ESR and RMS current handling requirement. Higher values,
lower cost cera mic 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
ca pa citors are used at input a nd 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 ca n couple to the output and be mista ken a s loop
instability. At worst, a sudden inrush of current through
the long wires can potentially cause a voltage spike at
VIN large enough to da mage 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 pa ckage, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow
and temperature difference between junction to a mbient.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA ) / θJA
Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum operation junction
temperature , TA is the a mbient temperature and the θJA is
the junction to ambient thermal resistance.
For recommended operating conditions specification of
RT7272B, 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 :
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (75°C/W) = 1.333W
(min.copper area PCB layout)
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (49°C/W) = 2.04W
(70mm2copper area PCB layout)
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
increa se thermal perf ormance by the PCB layout copper
design. The thermal resistance θJA c a n be decre ased by
adding copper area under the exposed pad of SOP-8
(Exposed Pad) pa ckage.
As shown in Figure 6, the a mount 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 TJ(MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA. The Figure 7 of derating curves allows the
designer to see the ef fect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation allowed.

Layout Considerations
For best performance of the RT7272B, the following layout
guidelines must be strictly followed.
`Input capacitor must be placed as close to the IC as
possible.
`SW should be connected to inductor by wide and short
trace. Keep sensitive components away from this trace.
`The RL resistor, compensator and feedba ck components
must be connected as close to the device a s possible.
