RT8296B
3A, 23V, 1.2MHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8296B is a high-efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 3A
output current from a 4.5V to 23V input supply. The
RT8296B's current mode architecture and external
compensation allow the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against
shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current
surge during start-up. Fault conditions also include output
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 RT8296B is available in
an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Pin Function
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 0.1F or greater ceramic
capacitor from BOOT to SW pins.
Input Supply Voltage, 4.5V to 23V. Must bypass with a suitably large ceramic
capacitor.
Switch Node. Connect this pin to an external L-C filter.
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum power dissipation.
Feedback Input. This pin is connected to the converter output. It is used to set
the output of the converter to regulate to the desired value via an internal
resistive voltage divider. For an adjustable output, an external resistive
voltage divider is connected to this pin.
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.
Chip Enable (Active High). A logic-low forces the RT8296B into shutdown
mode reducing the supply current to less than 3A. Attach this pin to VIN with
a 100k pull up resistor for automatic startup.
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.
