RT6204
500mA, 60V, 350kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
0.8V Feedback Reference Voltage with 1.5%
The RT6204 is a 60V, 500mA, 350kHz, high-efficiency,
synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with an
input-voltage range of 5.2V to 60V and a programmable
output-voltage range of 0.8V to 50V. It features
current-mode control to simplify external compensation
and to optimize transient response with a wide range of
inductors and output capacitors. High efficiency can be
achieved through integrated N-MOSFETs, and
pulse-skipping mode at light loads. With EN pin,
power-up sequence can be more flexible and shutdown
quiescent current can be reduced to < 3A.
Accuracy
Wide Input Voltage Range : 5.2V to 60V
Output Current : 500mA
Integrated N-MOSFETs
Current-Mode Control
Fixed Switching Frequency : 350kHz
Programmable Output Voltage : 0.8V to 50V
Low < 3AShutdown Quiescent Current
Up to 92% Efficiency
Pulse-Skipping Mode for Light-Load Efficiency
Programmable Soft-Start Time
Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit Protection
Input Under-Voltage Lockout, Output Under-Voltage
and Thermal Shutdown Protection
The RT6204 features cycle-by-cycle current limit for
over-current protection against short-circuit outputs,
and user-programmable soft-start time to prevent inrush
current during startup. It also includes input under-voltage
lockout, output under-voltage, and thermal shutdown
protection to provide safe and smooth operation in all
operating conditions.
