RT8048
3MHz 1A Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
z 2.5V to 5.5V Input Range
The RT8048 is a high-efficiency Pulse-Width-Modulated
(PWM) step-downDC/DC converter. Capable of delivering
1A output current over a wide input voltage range from
2.5V to 5.5V, the RT8048 is ideally suited for portable
electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell Li-ion
battery or from other power sources such as cellular
phones, PDAs and hand-held devices. Two operating
modes are available including : PWM/Low Dropout auto
switch and shut-down mode. The internal synchronous
rectifier with low RDS(ON) dramatically reduces conduction
loss at PWM mode. No external Schottky diode is
required in practical application. The RT8048 enters Low-
Dropout mode when normal PWM cannot provide regulated
output voltage by continuously turning on the upper
P-MOSFET. The RT8048 enters shut-down mode and
consumes less than 0.1μAwhen ENpin is pulled low. The
switching ripple is easily smoothed-out by small package
filtering elements due to a fixed operating frequency of
3MHz.
