RT6217E
3A, 24V, 500kHz, ACOT
TM
Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT6217E is a high-efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down
DC-DC converter that can deliver up to 3A output
current from a 4.5V to 24V input supply. The RT6217E
adopts ACOT
TM
architecture to allow the transient
response to be improved and keep in constant frequency.
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.

RT6217E
Operation
The RT6217E is a high-efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC-DC converter that can deliver up to 3A output
current from a 4.5V to 24V input supply. Using the
ACOT
TM
control mode can reduce the output capacitance
and perform fast transient response. It can minimize the
component size without additional external compensation
network.
Current Protection
The inductor current is monitored via the internal switches
cycle-by-cycle. Once the output voltage drops under UV
threshold, the RT6217E will enter hiccup mode.
Hiccup Mode
The RT6217E use hiccup mode for UVP. When the
protection function is triggered, the IC will shut down for a
period of time and then attempt to recover automatically.
Hiccup mode allows the circuit to operate safely with low
input current and power dissipation, and then resume
normal operation as soon as the overload or short circuit
is removed.
Input Under-Voltage Lockout
To protect the chip from operating at insufficient supply
voltage, the UVLO is needed. When the input voltage of
VIN is lower than the UVLO falling threshold voltage, the
device will be lockout.
Shut-Down, Start-up and Enable (EN)
The enable input (EN) has a logic-low level. When V
EN
is
below this level the IC enters shutdown mode. When V
EN
exceeds its logic-high level the IC is fully operational.
External Bootstrap Capacitor
Connect a 0.1μF low ESR ceramic capacitor between
BOOT and SW. This bootstrap capacitor provides the gate
driver supply voltage for the high side N-channel MOSFET
switch.
Over-Temperature Protection
The RT6217E includes an over-temperature protection
(OTP) circuitry to prevent overheating due to excessive
power dissipation. The OTP will shut down switching

operation when the junction temperature exceeds the OTP
threshold value. Once the junction temperature cools down
and is lower than the OTP lower threshold, the IC will
resume normal operation.
UVP Protection
The RT6217E detects under-voltage conditions by
monitoring
the feedback voltage on FB pin. When the
feedback voltage is lower than 50% of the target voltage,
the UVP comparator will go high to turn off both internal
high-side and low-side MOSFETs.
