The RTKA212831DR0000BU provides a simple
platform to demonstrate the performances of the
RAA212831. The RAA212831 is an integrated 72V
input voltage, 0.5A output load one synchronous buck
regulator with fixed switching frequency from 350kHz
and two 100mA, and 50mA output load linear
regulators LDOs. The buck can support a wide input
voltage range of 14V to 72V and adjusted output
voltage from 1.25V to 24V. The LDO_3V3 can support
a wide input voltage range of 6V to 12V, and the
output voltage is fixed at 3.3V. The LDO_5 can
support a wide input voltage range of 6V to 12V, and
the output voltage is fixed at 5V. It is designed for
small size and high integration electric-bike control
board power management. Integrated buck and
LDOs minimize the system components.
The Buck converter adopts peak current mode
control, providing 500mA current for load and
downstream LDO regulators, while the following
LDOs provide 5V and 3.3V regulated power sources
to the system. The current-mode buck converter
provides a fast transient response and cycle-by-cycle
switching current limit. All output voltages are fixed
internally with few external components.
The RAA212831 has a fixed frequency operation,
even the output terminal is light load condition,
therefore, the switching frequency is fixed during the
load variation. The RAA212831 can also use external
components to achieve standby function to control
buck output voltage as 6V or 12V. When the chip
wants to save more energy with LDOs operations
only, the external component can control buck output
voltage from 12V to 6V.

1. Functional Description
The RTKA212831DR0000BU demonstration board provides a simple platform to demonstrate the features of the
RAA212831. The RTKA212831DR0000BU has a functionally optimized RAA212831 circuit layout that allows
efficient operation up to the maximum output current.
The RTKA212831DR0000BU demonstration board is shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. Figure 5 shows the
schematic. The bill of materials and PCB layout information are also provided for your reference. Figure 8 through
Figure 31 show performance data taken using this hardware.
1.1 Operation Range
The RTKA212831DR0000BU demonstration board input voltage range is 14V to 72V. The output voltage is fixed
at 12V when the EXTFB test point is high and 6V when the EXTFB test point is low. It is a simple setting for use.
For the LDO_5V rail, the output voltage is 5V (default) with a 100mA maximum output current. For the LDO_3V3
rail, the output voltage is 3.3V (default) with a 50mA maximum output current.
1.2 Setup and Configuration
See Figure 2 and complete the following steps:
1. Connect the power supply to the input terminals VIN (J1) and GND (J6). Connect the load to the output
terminals, VOUT (J3) and GND (T2). Connect the load to the LDO_5V output terminals, LDO_5V (J2) and
GND(J8). Connect the load to the LDO_3V3 output terminals, LDO_3V3 (J2) and GND (J8).
2. Ensure 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 buck output voltage is 12V with the EXTFB test point high, and phase node waveforms can be
monitored at TP1. Verify that the LDO_5V output voltage is 5V and the LDO_3V3 output voltage is 3.3V.

2. Board Design
2.1 Layout Guidelines
A good PCB layout is important to achieve expected performance. Consideration should be taken when placing
the components and routing the trace to minimize the ground impedance and keep the parasitic inductance low.
The input and output capacitors should have a good ground connection and be placed as close to the IC as
possible. Place the LDO_VIN pin trace away from noisy planes and traces. The via pattern under the RAA212831
is connected to a large ground copper plane on the bottom layer for effective thermal dissipation.
