RTQ2940-QA
42VIN, 0.5A, Asynchronous Step-Down Converter with Low
Quiescent Current
Features
General Description
AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualified
The RTQ2940 is a 0.5A, high-efficiency, peak current mode
control asynchronous step-down converter which is
optimized for automotive applications. The device operates
with input voltages from 4V to 42V and is protected from
load dump transients up to 45V, eases input surge
protection design. The device can program the output
voltage between 0.8V to VIN. The low quiescent current
design with the integrated low RDS(ON) of high-side
MOSFET achieves high efficiency over the wide load range.
The peak current mode control with simple external
compensation allows the use of small inductors and
results in fast transient response and good loop stability.

Recharge FET
The wide switching frequency of 100kHz to 2500kHz allows
for efficiency and size optimization when selecting the
output filter components. The ultra-low minimum on-time
enables constant-frequency operation even at very high
step-down ratios. For switching noise sensitive
applications, it can be externally synchronized from
300kHz to 2200kHz. The build-in spread-spectrum
frequency modulation further helping systems designers
with better EMC management.
Externally Adjustable Soft-Start by Part Number
Option
Power Good Indication by Part Number Option
Enable Control
Adjustable UVLO Voltage and Hysteresis
Adjacent Pin-Short Protection
Built-In UVLO, UVP, OVP, OCP, OTP
The RTQ2940 provides complete protection functions such
as input under-voltage lockout, output under-voltage
protection, output over-voltage protection, over-current
protection, and thermal shutdown. Cycle-by-cycle current
limit provides protection against shorted outputs, and soft-
start eliminates input current surge during start-up. The
RTQ2940 is available in WDFN-10SL 3x3 and SOP-8
(Exposed pad) packages.
