RT6373A/B
17V Input, 3A, ACOT® Buck Converter with Both FETs OC
Protection
Features
General Description
⚫ 3A Converter Integrated 95m and 50m FETs
⚫ Input Supply Voltage Range : 4.5V to 17V
⚫ Output Voltage Range : 0.6V to 7V
⚫ Advanced Constant On-Time (ACOT® ) Control
Ultrafast Transient Response
Optimized for Low-ESR Ceramic Output
Capacitors
The RT6373A/B is
a
simple, easy-to-use, 3A
synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with an input
supply voltage range of 4.5V to 17V. The device
possesses an accurate reference voltage and
integrates low RDS(ON) power MOSFETs to achieve
high efficiency.
The RT6373A/B adopts Advanced Constant On-Time
(ACOT® ) control architecture to provide an ultrafast
transient response with few external components and
to operate in nearly constant switching frequency over
the line, load, and output voltage range. The RT6373A
operates in automatic PSM that maintains high
efficiency during light load operation. The RT6373B
operates in Forced PWM that helps meet tight voltage
regulation accuracy requirements.
⚫ High Accuracy Feedback Reference Voltage : Typ.
1%
⚫ Optional for Operation Modes :
RT6373A : Power Saving Mode (PSM)
RT6373B : Forced PWM Mode
⚫ Fixed Switching Frequency : 1.4MHz
⚫ Enable Control and Internally Fixed Soft-Start
with typ. 1ms
⚫ Input Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
⚫ Protection Function
The RT6373A/B senses both FETs current for a robust
over-current protection (OCP). The device features
cycle-by-cycle current limit protection to prevent the
device from the catastrophic damage in output short
circuit, over-current or inductor saturation conditions. A
built-in soft-start function prevents inrush current during
start-up. The device also includes input under-voltage
lockout, output under-voltage protection, and
over-temperature protection (OTP) to provide safe and
smooth operation in all operating conditions.
