RT8078A
4A, 1MHz, Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
z High Efficiency : Up to 95%
z Fixed Frequency : 1MHz
z No Schottky Diode Required
z Internal Compensation
The RT8078A is a high efficiency synchronous, step-down
DC/DC converter. It's input voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V
that provides an adjustable regulated output voltage from
0.6V to VIN while delivering up to 4A of output current.
The internal synchronous low on-resistance power
switches increase efficiency and eliminate the need for
an external Schottky diode. The switching frequency is
fixed internally at 1MHz. The 100% duty cycle provides
low dropout operation, hence extending battery life in
portable systems. Current mode operation with internal
compensation allows the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.
The RT8078Ais operated in PWM mode to achieve high
efficiency for a wide load range. The RT8078Ais available
in WDFN-10L 3x3 and SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) packages.
