RTQ2949A-QA
42VIN, 3A, Asynchronous Step-Down Converter with Low
Quiescent Current
General Description
Features
AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualified
The RTQ2949Ais a 3A, high-efficiency, peak current mode
control asynchronous step-down converter. The device
operates with input voltages from 4V to 42V which is
optimized for automotive applications. The device can
program the output voltage between 0.8V to VIN and is
protected from load dump transients up to 65V which eases
input surge protection design. 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.

Low Dropout at Light Loads with Integrated Boot
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 system designers
with better EMC management.
Enable Control
Adjustable UVLO Voltage and Hysteresis
Adjacent Pin-Short Protection
Built-In UVLO, UVP, OVP, OCP, OTP
The RTQ2949A 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
RTQ2949Ais available in SOP-8 (Exposed pad) packages.
