1. Functional Description
The RAA211630 (QFN version) is an easy-to-use synchronous Buck switching regulator with integrated 115mΩ
(high-side) and mΩ(low-side) MOSFETs. The RTKA211630DE0000BU board demonstrates the operations of
RAA211630 (QFN version). It allows you to evaluate the performance of the part with different application circuits.
It also provides you a reference for board layout.
The schematic is shown in Figure 4 and PCB layers for reference in Figure 5 through Figure 8. Figure 9 through
Figure 16 show performance data and waveforms take from the evaluation board. See Bill of Materials for the full
list of materials used.
1.1 Operational Characteristics
The board input voltage range is from 4.5V to 60V. 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). Make sure 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 phase node waveforms can be monitored at J1.
