RT7275/76
3A, 18V, 700kHz ACOT
TM
Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT7275/76 are high-performance 700kHz 3A step-
down regulators with internal power switches and
synchronous rectifiers. They feature quick transient
response using their Advanced Constant On-Time
(ACOT
TM
) control architecture that provides stable
operation with small ceramic output capacitors and without
complicated external compensation, among other benefits.
The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 18V and the output
is adjustable from 0.765V to 8V.
The proprietary ACOT
TM
control improves upon other fast-
response constant on-time architectures, achieving nearly
constant switching frequency over line, load, and output
voltage ranges. Since there is no internal clock, response
to transients is nearly instantaneous and inductor current
can ramp quickly to maintain output regulation without
large bulk output capacitance. The RT7275/76 are stable
with and optimized for ceramic output capacitors.
With internal 90mΩ switches and 60mΩ synchronous
rectifiers, the RT7275/76 display excellent efficiency and
good behavior across a range of applications, especially
for low output voltages and low duty cycles. Cycle-by-
cycle current limit, input under-voltage lock-out,
externally-adjustable soft-start, output under- and over-
voltage protection, and thermal shutdown provide safe and
smooth operation in all operating conditions.
The RT7275 and RT7276 are each available in WDFN-10L
3x3 and PTSSOP-14 packages, with exposed thermal
pads.

Note 1.
Stresses beyond those listed
“Absolute
Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may
affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured at T
A
= 25°C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board per JEDEC 51-7.
θ
JC
is
measured at the exposed pad of the package. The PCB copper area of exposed pad is 70mm

.
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
