Pin Function
Transition Threshold. Connect a resistor divider to let the RT7296E into power
saving mode under light loads. Connect to PVCC to force RT7296E into CCM.
Power Input. Support 6V to17V Input Voltage. Must bypass with a suitable
large ceramic capacitor at this pin.
Switch Node. Connect to external L-C filter.
System Ground.
Bootstrap Supply for High-Side Gate Driver. Connect a 0.1F ceramic
capacitor between the BOOT and SW pins.
Soft-Start Control Input. SS control the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor
from SS to GND to set the soft-start period.
5V Bias Supply Output. Connect a minimum of 0.1F capacitor to ground.
Feedback Voltage Input. The pin is used to set the output voltage of the
converter to regulate to the desired voltage via a resistive divider. Feedback
reference = 0.8V.

Operation
Under Voltage Lockout Threshold
The IC includes an input Under Voltage Lockout
Protection (UVLO). If the input voltage exceeds the
UVLO rising threshold voltage (3.9V), the converter
resets and prepares
the PWM for operation. If the input voltage falls below
the UVLO falling threshold voltage (3.25V) during
normal operation, the device stops switching. The
UVLO rising and falling threshold voltage includes a
hysteresis to prevent noise caused reset.
Internal Regulator
The internal regulator generates 5V power and drive
internal circuit. When VIN is below 5V, PVCC will drop
with VIN. A capacitor(>0.1F) between PVCC and
GND is required.
Soft-Start Function
The RT7296E provides external 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 be programmed by the external
capacitor between SS pin and GND. The Chip provides
a 11A charge current for the external capacitor.

Over Current Protection
RT7296E provides cycle-by-cycle over current limit
protection. When the inductor current peak value
reaches current limit, IC will turn off High Side MOS to
avoid over current.
Under Voltage Protection (Hiccup Mode)
RT7296E provides Hiccup Mode of Under Voltage
Protection (UVP). When the FB voltage drops below
half of the feedback reference voltage, V
FB
, the UVP
function will be triggered and the IC will shut down for a
period of time and then recover automatically. The
Hiccup Mode of UVP can reduce input current in
short-circuit conditions.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent the chip
from operating at excessively high temperatures. When
the junction temperature is higher than 150
o
C, the chip
will shutdown the switching operation. The chip is
automatically re-enabled when the junction temperature
cools down by approximately 20
o
C.
