RT2657
2.25MHz 600mA Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT2657 is a high efficiency Pulse-Width-Modulated
(PWM) step-down DC/DC converter, capable of delivering
600mA output current over a wide input voltage range from
2.7V to 5.5V. The RT2657 is ideally suited for portable
electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell Li-ion
battery or from other power sources such as cellular
phones, PDAs, hand-held devices, game console and
related accessories.
The internal synchronous rectifier with low R
DS(ON)
dramatically reduces conduction loss at PWM mode.
No external Schottky diode is required in practical
applications. The RT2657 enters Low Dropout Mode when
normal Pulse -Width Mode cannot provide regulated output
voltage by continuously turning on the upper P-MOSFET.
The RT2657 enters shut-down mode and consumes less
than 5μA when the EN pin is pulled low. The switching
ripple is easily smoothed-out by small package filtering
elements due to a fixed operating frequency of 2.25MHz.
The RT2657 is available in the small WDFN-6SL 2x2
package.

RT2657
Operation
The RT2657 is a synchronous low voltage Buck Converter
that can support the input voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V
and the output current can be up to 0.6A. The RT2657
uses a constant frequency, current mode architecture. In
normal operation, the high-side P-MOSFET is turned on
when the Switch Controller is set by the oscillator (OSC)
and is turned off when the current comparator resets the
Switch Controller.
The high-side MOSFET peak current is measured by
internal R
SENSE
. The current signal is where Slope
Compensator works together with sensing voltage of
R
SENSE
. The error amplifier EA adjusts COMP voltage by
comparing the feedback signal (V
FB
) from the output
voltage with the internal 0.6V reference. When the load
current increases, it causes a drop in the feedback voltage
relative to the reference. The COMP voltage then rises to
allow higher inductor current to match the load current.
Enable Comparator
The EN pin can be connected to VIN through a 100kΩ
resistor for automatic startup.
Soft-Start (SS)
An internal current source (25nA) charges an internal
capacitor (15pF) to build the soft-start ramp voltage (V
SS
).
The V
FB
voltage will track the internal ramp voltage during
soft-start interval. The typical soft-start time is 300μs.
UV Comparator
If the feedback voltage (V
FB
) is lower than threshold voltage
0.2V, the UV Comparator's output will go high and the
Switch Controller will turn off the high-side MOSFET.
Oscillator (OSC)
The internal oscillator runs at 2.25MHz.
