RT8055
3A, 2MHz, Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
z High Efficiency : Up to 95%
The RT8055 is a high efficiency synchronous, step-down
DC/DC converter. Its input voltage range is from 2.6V to
5.5V and provides an adjustable regulated output voltage
from 0.8V to 5V while delivering up to 3A of output current.
z Low RDS(ON) Internal Switches : 100mΩ
z Programmable Frequency : 300kHz to 2MHz
z No Schottky Diode Required
z 0.8V Reference Voltage Allows for Low Output
Voltage
The internal synchronous low on-resistance power
switches increase efficiency and eliminate the need for
an external Schottky diode. The switching frequency is
set by an external resistor. The 100% duty cycle provides
low dropout operation extending battery life in portable
systems. Current mode operation with external
compensation allows the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.
z Forced Continuous Mode Operation
z 100% Duty Cycle Operation
z Input Over Voltage Protection
z RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free
Applications
z Portable Instruments
z Battery-Powered Equipment
z Notebook Computers
z Distributed Power Systems
z IP Phones
The RT8055 is operated in forced continuous PWM Mode
which minimizes ripple voltage and reduces the noise and
RF interference.
The RT8055 is available in the WDFN-10L 3x3 and
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) packages.
