RT2853A/B
3A, 18V, 650kHz, ACOT
TM
Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT2853A/B are high-performance 650kHz 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 7V.
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 RT2853A/B are stable
with and optimized for ceramic output capacitors.
With internal 110mΩ switches and 30mΩ synchronous
rectifiers, the RT2853A/B 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 RT2853A and RT2853B are each available in
WQFN-16L 3x3 package, with exposed thermal pads.

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