1. Functional Description
The RAA211450 (HTSSOP version) is an easy-to-use synchronous Buck switching regulator with integrated
90mΩ(high-side) and mΩ(low-side) MOSFETs. The RTKA211450DE0010BU board evaluates the operations
of RAA211450 (HTSSOP version). The board allows you to evaluate the performance of the part with a different
application circuit, and it provides a reference for a board layout.
The manual includes a schematic (Figure 4), PCB layers (Figure 5 to Figure 8), performance data and waveforms
taken from the evaluation board (Figure 9 to Figure 16), and a full list of materials (Bill of Materials).
1.1 Operational Characteristics
The board input voltage range is from 4.5V to 42V. The output voltage is set to 3.3V by default and can be
changed by R9and R10, as shown in Equation 1:
Renesas recommends using a 20kΩresistor for R10 and choose R9based on Equation 1.
1.2 Setup and Configuration
1. Populate a jumper on JP1(VIN shorted to EN).
2. Connect the power supply to the input terminals VIN(T1) and GND(T2). Connect the load to the output
terminals VOUT(T3) and GND(T4). Verify the setup is correctly connected before applying any power or load
to the board.
3. Turn on the power supply, and the part should start operating.
4. Verify that the output voltage is 3.3V and the phase node waveforms can be monitored at J1.
