RT6150A/B
Current Mode Buck-Boost Converter
General Description
The RT6150A/B is a high efficiency, fixed frequency, Buck-
Boost DC-DC converter that operates from input voltages
above, below or equal to the output voltage. The topology
incorporated in the IC provides a continuous transfer
function through all operating modes, making the product
ideal for single lithium-ion, multi-cell alkaline or Ni-MH
battery applications where the output voltage is within the
battery voltage range.
The device includes two N-MOSFET switches and two P-
MOSFET switches for high efficiency operation. Switching
frequency is set at 1MHz to reduce the external
component size. Quiescent current is only 60μA in Power
Save Mode (PSM), maximizing battery life in portable
applications. PSM operation is user controlled and can
be enabled by driving the PS pin low. If the PS pin is
driven high, then fixed frequency switching is enabled.
Other features include low shutdown current, internal
soft-start control, thermal shutdown protection and current
limit. The RT6150A is available in the WDFN-10L 3x3
package and the RT6150B is available in the WDFN-10L
2.5x2.5 package.

Pin Function
Output of the buck-boost converter. Connect a capacitor between the VOUT
and GND.
Second switch node. Connect this pin to the inductor.
Power ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and
connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
First switch node. Connect this pin to the inductor.
Power input. Connect an at least 10F capacitor between the VIN pin and
GND.
Enable control input for the buck-boost converter.
PSM control input. Pull low for PSM operation and pull high for fixed
switching frequency operation.
Supply voltage input for control circuit.
Feedback input. For adjustable versions, connect a resistive divider to set
the output voltage and it can be adjusted from 2.5V to 5.5V; For fixed
version, must be connected to VOUT.

Operation
The RT6150A/B is a synchronous average current mode switching Buck-Boost converter designed to maintain a fixed
output voltage from an input supply that can be above, equal, or below the output voltage. The average inductor current
is regulated by a fast current regulator which is controlled by a voltage control loop. The voltage error amplifier gets its
feedback input from the FB pin. For adjustable output voltage, a resistive voltage divider must be connected to the FB
pin. When VIN is greater than VOUT, the device operates in Buck mode. When VIN is lower than VOUT, the device
operates in Boost mode. When VIN is close to VOUT, the RT6150A/B automatically enters Buck-Boost mode. In Buck-
Boost mode, the converter will maintain the regulation for output voltage and keep a minimum current ripple in the
inductor to guarantee good performance.
