RT7235/36/39/40
5A, 18V, 650kHz, ACOTTM Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
ACOTTM Mode Enables Fast Transient Response
4.5V to 18V Input Voltage Range
5A Output Current
The RT7235/36/39/40 is a synchronous step-down DC/
DC converter withAdvanced Constant On-Time (ACOTTM)
mode control. It achieves high power density to deliver up
to 5Aoutput current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The
proprietary ACOTTM mode offers an optimal transient
response over a wide range of loads and all kinds of ceramic
capacitors, which allows the device to adopt very low ESR
output capacitor for ensuring performance stabilization. In
addition, RT7235/36/39/40 keeps an excellent constant
switching frequency under line and load variation and the
integrated synchronous power switches with theACOTTM
mode operation provides high efficiency in whole output
current load range. Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides
an accurate protection by a valley detection of low side
MOSFET and external soft-start setting eliminates input
current surge during startup. Protection functions include
thermal shutdown for RT7235/36/39/40, output Under
Voltage Protection (UVP) / Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
for RT7235/36. When the UVP/OVP is triggered, the device
will enter latch mode for TSSOP-14 (Exposed Pad), and
hiccup mode for WDFN-10L 3x3.
