The RT6160B features I C interface, which allows
⚫ 1A Non-Switching Low Quiescent Current
programmable output voltage, ultra-sonic mode control,
soft-start slew-rate adjusted and device status
monitoring. The target output voltage can also be
switched through external VSEL pin to perform
dynamically-voltage-scaling (DVS), and the ramp-up
slew-rate and ramp mode of DVS can also be set by
setting the related registers.

for Robustness
The RT6160B operates in automatic PFM and typical
2A low quiescent current design that maintains high
efficiency during light load operation. At higher loads,
the device automatically switches to a 2.2MHz fixed
frequency control, which is easily smoothed-out he

⚫ Wifi Module
MOSFETs features excellent efficiency during heavy
load conditions. In shutdown mode, the supply current
is typically 0.1A, excellent in reducing power
consumption. PFM mode can be disabled if fixed
frequency is desired. The RT6160B is available in a
small WL-CSP-15B 1.4x2.3 (BSC) package.
