RT7237B
2A, 18V, 1.2MHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT7237B is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 2A
output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The
RT7237B's current mode architecture and external
compensation allow the transient response to be
optimized over a wide input range and loads. Cycle-by-
cycle current limit provides protection against shorted
outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current surge during
start-up. The RT7237B also provides under voltage
protection and thermal shutdown protection. The low
current (<3μA) shutdown mode provides output
disconnection, enabling easy power management in
battery-powered systems. The RT7237B is available in
an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Pin Function
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 0.1F or greater ceramic
capacitor from BOOT to SW pins.
Input Supply Voltage, 4.5V to 18V. Must bypass with a suitable large ceramic
capacitor.
Switch Node. Connect this pin to an external L-C filter.
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum power dissipation.
Feedback Input. It is used to regulate the output of the converter to a set value
via an external resistive voltage divider.
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control
loop. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND. In some cases, an
additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required.
Enable Input. A logic high enables the converter; a logic low forces the IC into
shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 3A. Attach this pin
to VIN with a 100k pull-up resistor for automatic startup.
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor
from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1F capacitor sets the
soft-start period to 13.5ms.

Operation
Internal Regulator
Provide internal power for logic control and switch gate
drivers.
Shutdown Comparator
Activate internal regulator once EN input level is higher
than the target level. Force IC to enter shutdown mode
when the EN input level is lower than 0.4V.
Lockout Comparator
Activate the current comparator, release lock-out logic,
and enable the switches as EN input level is higher than
lockout threshold voltage. Otherwise, the switches still
lock out.
Oscillator
The oscillator provides internal clock and controls the
converter's switching frequency.
Foldback Control
Dynamically adjust the internal clock. It provides a slower
frequency as a lower FB voltage.
UV Comparator
As FB voltage is lower than the UV voltage, it will activate
a UV protect scheme.
Error Amplifier
The output voltage COMP of the error amplifier is adjusted
by comparing FB signal with the internal reference voltage
and SS signal.
Current Sense Amplifier
R
SENSE
detects the peak current of the high side switch.
This signal is amplified by the current sense amplifier and
added with a slope compensation signal. Then, It controls
the switches by comparing this signal with the COMP
voltage.
