RT8077
2A, 2MHz, Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
z High Efficiency : Up to 95%
The RT8077 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 2Aof output current.
z Low RDS(ON) Internal Switches : 90mΩ
z Programmable Frequency : 300kHz to 2MHz
z No Schottky Diode Required
z 0.8V Reference Allows for Low Output Voltage
z Low Dropout Operation : 100% Duty Cycle
z 2.6V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
z VOUT Range from 0.8V to 5V
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 or can be synchronized to an
external clock. The 100% duty cycle provides low dropout
operation extending battery life in portable systems.
z Up to 2A Output Current
z Thermal Shutdown
z RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free
Current mode operation with external compensation
allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide
range of loads and output capacitors.
Applications
z Portable Instruments
z Battery-Powered Equipment
z Notebook Computers
z Distributed Power Systems
z IP Phones
The 100% duty cycle in Low Dropout Operation further
maximize battery life.
The RT8077 is available in the WDFN-8L 2x2 package.
z Digital Cameras
z Dynamic Supply Bias for GSM/EDGE PAs and 3G/4G
