RT8288A
4A, 21V 500kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
z 4A Output Current
The RT8288A is a synchronous step-down regulator with
an internal power MOSFET. It achieves 4A of continuous
output current over a wide input supply range with excellent
load and line regulation. Current mode operation provides
fast transient response and eases loop stabilization.
z Internal Soft-Start
z 120mΩ/40mΩ Internal Power MOSFET Switch
z Internal Compensation Minimizes External Parts
Count
z Fixed 500kHz Frequency
Fault condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle current
limiting and thermal shutdown. An internal soft-start
minimizes external parts count and internal compensation
circuitry.
z Thermal Shutdown Protection
z Cycle-by-Cycle Over Current Protection
z Wide 4.5V to 21V Operating Input Range
z Adjustable Output from 0.808V to 15V
z Available in an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) Package
z RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free
The RT8288A requires a minimal number of readily
available external components, providing a compact
solution.
Applications
z Distributive Power Systems
