RT5701
3MHz 4A High Efficiency Step-Down Converter with I2C
Interface
General Description
The RT5701 is a Peak-Current Mode Pulse-Width-
Modulated (PWM) step-down DC/DC converter with I2C
control interface. Capable of delivering 4Acontinuing output
current over a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V,
the RT5701 is ideally suited for Automotive Infotainment
applications for low-voltage outputs to Micro controllers
and ASICs in Navigation, Information Display, and Audio
systems, Video systems and other battery operated
systems requiring very low Shutdown current and
Quiescent current consumption.
control mode, and so on. Other features include soft-start,
auto discharge, lower internal reference voltage, over-
temperature, and over-current protection.
Features
2.5V to 5.5V Input Range
Output Range from 0.3V to 5.5V
Bank 0 : 0.3V to 0.7V
Bank 1 : 0.6V to 1.4V
Bank 2 : 1.2V to 2.8V
Bank 3 : 2.4V to 5.5V
Internal synchronous rectifier with low RDS(ON) dramatically
reduces conduction loss at PWM mode. No external
Schottky barrier diode is required in practical application.
The RT5701 enters low-dropout mode when normal PWM
cannot provide regulated output voltage by continuously
turning on the upper P-MOSFET. The RT5701 enters shut-
down mode and consumes less than 5μA when the EN
pin is pulled low. The switching ripple is easily smoothed-
out by small package filtering elements due to a fixed
operation frequency of 3MHz. This along with small
TSSOP-14 (Exposed Pad) package provides small PCB
area applications.
The Default Value is 1.5V (VSEL = High) and 1V
