Pin Function
Soft-Start Control Input. SS control the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor
from SS to GND to set the soft-start period.
Power Input. Support 4.5V 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.
Enable Control Input. High = Enable. Apply an external clock to adjust the
switching frequency. If using pull high resistor connected to VIN, the
recommended value range is 60k to 300k.
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.
Chip Enable
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (<1.1V) will shutdown the device. During shutdown
mode, the RT7296C’s quiescent current drops to lower
than 1A. Driving the EN pin high (>1.6V) will turn on
the device.
Operating Frequency and Synchronization
The internal oscillator runs at 1400kHz (typ.) when the
EN/SYNC pin is at logic-high level (>1.6V). If the EN
pin is pulled to low-level over 8μs, the IC will shut
down. The RT7296C can be synchronized with an
external clock ranging from 300kHz to 3MHz applied to
the EN/SYNC pin. The external clock duty cycle must
be from 20% to 80% with logic-high level = 2V and
logic-low level = 0.8V.
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 RT7296C provides external soft-start function. The
soft-start function is used to prevent large inrush
current while converter is being powered-up. The

RT7296C
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
RT7296C 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)
RT7296C 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 150C, the chip
will shutdown the switching operation. The chip is
automatically
re-enabled
when
the
junction
temperature cools down by approximately 20C.
