RT8129A
High Efficiency Single Synchronous Buck PWM Controller
General Description
Features
Wide Input Voltage Range : 2.5V to 25V
High Light Load Efficiency
Integrated High Driving Capability N-MOSFET
Gate
The RT8129A is a high efficiency single phase
synchronous buck controller with 5V/12V supply
voltage. The RT8129A integrates a Constant-On-Time
(COT) PWM controller and a MOSFET drivers with
internal bootstrap diodes, which is specifically designed
to improve converter efficiency at light load condition.
At light load condition, it automatically operates in the
diode emulation mode to reduce switching frequency
and improve conversion efficiency.
Drivers and Embedded Switching Boot Diode
Single IC Supply Voltage : 4.5V to 13.2V
Power-Good Indicator
Enable/Disable Control
Internal Soft-Start
Programmable Current Limit Threshold
Under Voltage Protection
Over Voltage Protection
Other features include power good indication,
enable/disable control and internal soft-start function.
The RT8129A also provide protection functions
including Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Under
Voltage Protection (UVP), current limit and thermal
shutdown.
Thermal Shutdown
Applications
Motherboard, Memory/Chip-set Power
Graphic Card, GPU/Memory Core Power
Low Voltage, High Current DC/DC Regulator
This device uses lossless low-side MOSFET RDS(ON)
current sense technique for current limit with adjustable
threshold set by connecting a resistor between the
LGATE/OCSET and GND.
Marking Information
With above functions, the RT8129A provides
customers a cost-effective solution for high efficiency
power conversion. The RT8129A is available in the
WDFN-10L 3x3 package.
