General Description
TheRT7247Aisahighefficiency,monolithicsynchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 2A
output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The
RT7247A's current mode architecture and external
compensation allow the transient response to be
optimized over a wide input range and loads. Cycle-by-
cycle current limit provides protection against shorted
outputs,and soft-starteliminatesinputcurrentsurgeduring
start-up. The RT7247A also provides under voltage
protection and thermal shutdown protection. The low
current (<3μA) shutdown mode provides output
disconnection, enabling easy power management in
battery-powered systems. The RT7247A is available in
an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Functional Pin Description
Pin No. Pin Name Pin Function
1 BOOT
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 0.1F or greater ceramic
capacitor from BOOT to SW pins.
2 VIN
Input Supply Voltage, 4.5V to 18V. Must bypass with a suitable large ceramic
capacitor.
3 SW Switch Node. Connect this pin to an external L-C filter.
4,
9 (Exposed Pad) GND Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum power dissipation.
5 FB Feedback Input. It is used to regulate the output of the converter to a set value
via an external resistive voltage divider.
6 COMP
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control
loop. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND. In some cases, an
additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required.
7 EN
Enable Input. A logic high enables the converter; a logic low forces the IC into
shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 3A. Attach this pin
to VIN with a 100kpull-up resistor for automatic startup.
8 SS Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor
from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1F capacitor sets the
soft-start period to 13.5ms.

Operation
Shutdown Comparator
Activate internal regulator once EN input level is larger
than the target level. Force IC to enter shutdown mode
when the ENinput level is lower than 0.4V.
Internal Regulator
Provide internal power for logic control and switch gate
drivers.
Lockout Comparator
Activate the Current Comparator, release lock-out logic,
and enable the switches as EN input level is larger than
lockout voltage. Otherwise, the switches still locks out.
Oscillator
The oscillator provides internal clock and controls the
converter'sswitchingfrequency.
Foldback Control
Dynamicallyadjusttheinternal clock. It provides a slower
frequency as a lower FB voltage.
UV Comparator
AsFBvoltageis lower than the UVvoltage,it will activate
a UV protect scheme.
ErrorAmp
TheoutputvoltageCOMPoftheerroramplifieris adjusted
comparing FB signal with the internal reference voltage
and SS signal.
Current Sense Amplifier
RSENSE detects the peak current of the high-side switch.
This signal is amplified by the Current Sense Amplifier
and added with a Slope Compensation. Then, it controls
the switches by comparing this signal with the COMP
voltage.

Where VREF is the reference voltage (0.8V typ.).
External Bootstrap Diode
Connecta0.1μFlowESRceramic capacitor between the
BOOT pin and SW pin. This capacitor provides the gate
drivervoltageforthehighsideMOSFET.
It is recommended to add an external bootstrap diode
between an external 5V and BOOT pin for efficiency
improvementwheninputvoltageis lowerthan5.5Vorduty
ratio is higher than 65% .The bootstrap diode can be a
low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54. The external 5V
can be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output of the
RT7247A. Note that the external boot voltage must be
lowerthan 5.5V

Chip Enable Operation
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (<0.4V) will shut down the device. During shutdown
mode,theRT7247A quiescentcurrentdropstolower than
3μA.Driving the ENpin high (>2V, <18V) will turn on the
device again. For external timing control, the ENpin can
also be externally pulled high by adding a REN resistor
and CEN capacitor from theVINpin (see Figure 3).
Soft-Start
The RT7247A provides soft-start function. The soft-start
function is used to prevent large inrush current while
converter is being powered-up. The soft-start timing can
beprogrammedbytheexternalcapacitorbetweenSSand
GND. An internal current source ISS (6μA) charges an
external capacitor to build a soft-start ramp voltage. The
VFB voltagewilltracktheinternalramp voltage duringsoft-

Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR
lossesintheoutputcapacitors butalsotheoutputvoltage
ripple.Highfrequencywithsmall ripplecurrent canachieve
the highest efficiency operation. However, it requires a
large inductor to achieve this goal.
Fortheripplecurrentselection,the valueofΔIL=0.24(IMAX)
will be a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple
current occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the
Over Temperature Protection
The RT7247Afeatures an Over Temperature Protection
(OTP) circuitry to prevent from overheating due to
excessive power dissipation. The OTP will shut down
switching operation when junction temperature exceeds
150°C. Once the junction temperature cools down by
approximately20°C,theconverterwillresumeoperation.
To maintaincontinuousoperation,themaximum junction

CIN and COUT Selection
The input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidalcurrentatthesourceofthehighsideMOSFET.
To preventlargeripplecurrent,a low ESR inputcapacitor
sizedforthemaximumRMScurrentshouldbeused.The
approximate RMS current equation is given :
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where
IRMS = IOUT / 2. This simple worst case condition is
commonly used for design because even significant
deviationsdonotoffermuch relief.
Choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than
required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to
meet size or height requirements in the design.
For the input capacitor, two 10μF low ESR ceramic
capacitors are suggested. For the suggested capacitor,
please refer to Table 3 for more details.
Theselection of COUT isdeterminedby the required ESR
to minimize voltage ripple.
Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key
forCOUT selectiontoensurethatthecontrolloop is stable.

Theoutputripplewillbethehighest at the maximum input
voltage since ΔIL increases with input voltage. Multiple
capacitors placed in parallel may be needed to meet the
ESRandRMScurrenthandlingrequirement.Highervalues,
lowercostceramiccapacitorsarenowbecoming available
insmallercasesizes.Theirhighripplecurrent,highvoltage
ratingandlow ESRmakethemidealforswitchingregulator
applications. However, care must be taken when these
capacitors are used at input and output. When a ceramic
capacitor is used at the input and the power is supplied
by a wall adapter through long wires, a load step at the
output can induce ringing at the input, VIN. At best, this
ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop
instability. At worst, a sudden inrush of current through
the long wires can potentially cause a voltage spike at
VIN large enough to damage the part.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed the maximum
operation junction temperature 125°C. The maximum
power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of
IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow
andtemperaturedifferencebetweenjunctiontoambient.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
followingformula:
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA ) / θJA
Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum operation junction
temperature,TAis theambient temperatureandtheθJAis
the junction to ambient thermal resistance.
Forrecommendedoperatingconditionspecifications,the
maximumjunction temperature is 125°C. The junctionto
ambient thermal resistance θJA is layout dependent. For
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package, the thermal resistance
θJA is 75°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layers
thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at
TA= 25°C can be calculated by following formula :

The thermal resistance θJA of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is
determined by the package architecture design and the
PCB layout design. However, the package architecture
designhasbeendesigned.Ifpossible,it'susefultoincrease
thermal performance by the PCB layout copper design.
The thermal resistance θJA can be decreased by adding
copper area under the exposed pad of SOP-8 (Exposed
Pad) package.
AsshowninFigure8,theamountofcopperareatowhich
the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is mounted affects thermal
performance. When mounted to the standard
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) pad (Figure 8.a), θJA is 75°C/W.
Adding copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed
Pad) (Figure8.b)reducestheθJA to64°C/W. Evenfurther,
increasing the copper area of pad to 70mm2(Figure 8.e)
reduces the θJA to 49°C/W.
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA.TheFigure9ofderatingcurvesallowsthe
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation allowed.

Layout Consideration
FollowthePCBlayoutguidelinesforoptimalperformance
oftheRT7247A.
Keep the traces of the main current paths as short and
wide as possible.
Puttheinputcapacitorascloseaspossibletothedevice
pins(VINandGND).
SW node is with high frequency voltage swing and
shouldbekeptatsmallarea.Keepanalogcomponents
awayfromthe SWnodetopreventstraycapacitivenoise
pick-up.
Connectfeedbacknetworkbehindtheoutputcapacitors.
Keep the loop area small. Place the feedback
components nearthe RT7247A.
An example of PCB layout guide is shown in Figure 10
forreference.

Input capacitor must
be placed as close
to the IC as possible.
SW node is with high frequency voltage swing and should
be kept at small area. Keep analog components away from
the SW node to prevent stray capacitive noise pick-up
The feedback components
must be connected as close
to the device as possible.
