RT7297B
3A, 18V, 1.2MHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
ꢀ
1.5% High Accuracy Reference Voltage
The RT7297B is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 3A
output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The
RT7297B's current mode architecture and external
compensation allow the transient response to be
optimized over a wide input voltage range and loads. Cycle-
by-cycle current limit provides protection against shorted
outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current surge during
start-up. The RT7297B also provides under voltage
protection and thermal shutdown protection. The low
current (<3μA) shutdown mode provides output
disconnection, enabling easy power management in
battery-powered systems. The RT7297B is available in
an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.
