1. Functional Description
The RAA211820 (QFN version) is an easy-to-use synchronous Buck switching regulator with an integrated
215mΩ/115mΩ high-side/low-side MOSFETs. The RTKA211820DE0000BU board demonstrates the operations of
RAA211820 (QFN version). The board allows you to evaluate the performance of the part with different application
circuits, and it provides you with a reference for a board layout.
1.1 Operational Characteristics
The board input voltage range is from 4.5V to 75V. The output voltage is set to 3.3V by default and can be
changed by R9 and R10, as shown in Equation 1:
Renesas recommends using a 20kΩ resistor for R10 and choose R9 based 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.
