RAA271041
Cold Crank Boost and Buck Controller with Drivers for ASIL-D Automotive Applications
The RAA271041 is a controller for a dual regulator
system capable of supporting ASIL-D automotive
systems that must operate during battery dropout
Features
▪ ASIL-D Functional Safety
▪ 40V Boost and Buck integrated driver controller
▪ FET drivers support source/sink current of 2A/3A
conditions. The Channel 2 Boost regulator maintains
the voltage rail supplying the downstream Channel 1
Buck regulator, allowing the Buck output to maintain
regulation during a battery dropout event such as cold
cranking.
▪ Low I with ECM mode of 6µA typical
Q
▪ Separate Wake (Enable) inputs for each channel
▪ Minimized FET ON and OFF times (20ns
For cold crank applications, the Channel 2 Boost has
and 50ns)
an adjustable output and is active when the V

input voltage falls below a user-programmable
threshold. If the V input is above the
BAT
user-programmed threshold, the Boost controller
offers a Boost Bypass mode in which the high-side
MOSFET of the Boost channel is held on and the
▪ Boost frequency options 400kHz or 2.2MHz
(2.2MHz requires Buck frequency at 2.2MHz)
▪ VBATS sense for boost enable during cold crank
▪ Boost Bypass mode (with buck in CCM)
▪ External synchronization via SYNC pin
▪ Dual over-temperature protection monitors
▪ 6x6mm 36Ld SC-QFN package
V
input voltage is passed directly to the Boost
BAT
output. The Boost channel can also be configured as
a standalone Boost, which is always on.
The Boost output from Channel 2 supplies the input
for Channel 1 buck. The Buck can be configured
either as fixed 5V or fixed 3.3V output or as an
adjustable output from 0.8V to 12V using a resistor
divider from VOUT1 to FB1 to ground.
▪ AEC-Q100 grade 1 qualified
Functional Safety Features
▪ Built-In Self Test (BIST) at power up
The RAA271041 requires a minimum input voltage of
6V for start-up. The Channel 2 Boost has an input
range from 2.2V to 42V, while the Channel 1 Buck has
an input range from 3.5V to 42V.
▪ Recurring checks: internal references, PWM clock,
system clock, PGND/AGND connection, dual
over-temperature monitor, ECM exit delay, VCC
supply.
The RAA271041 Buck channel can operate in Energy
▪ Independent references and feedback sense paths
Conservation Mode (ECM) to provide a low I mode by
Q
for Buck and Boost OV/UV detection
reducing quiescent current draw to 6µA (typical) when
no external load is applied. The Buck and Boost
switching frequencies are factory programmed to
400kHz or 2.2MHz. Optional spread spectrum
operation allows for a reduction of EMI and noise
levels.
▪ Independent fault indicators for Buck and Boost
▪ Fail-safe output, logic high indicates a trusted
device state with all safety monitors active.
Applications
• Automotive battery supplied applications
• In cabin systems
• ADAS: Advanced Driver Assist Systems
• Start-stop protected systems (such as head unit,
cluster, e-Mirror)
