RT6251A/B
3A, 18V, Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
Low RDS(ON) Power MOSFET Switches 46mΩ/36mΩ
Input Voltage Range : 4.5V to 18V
Adjustable Switching Frequency : 200kHz to 1.2MHz
Current-Mode Control
The RT6251A/B is a high efficiency, monolithic
synchronous step-downDC/DC converter that can deliver
up to 3A output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply.
The RT6251A/B current-mode architecture with external
compensation allows the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against
shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current
surge during start-up. Fault condition protections include
output under-voltage protection, output over-voltage
protection, and over-temperature protection. The low
current shutdown mode provides output disconnection,
enabling easy power management in battery-powered
systems.
Synchronous to External Clock : 200kHz to 1.2MHz

Monotonic Start-Up into Pre-biased Outputs
Adjustable Soft-Start
Power Good Indicator
Under-Voltage and Over-Voltage Protection
