RT8065
3A, 2MHz, Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8065 is a high efficiency synchronous, step-down
DC/DC converter. Its input voltage range is from 2.7V to
5.5V and provides an adjustable regulated output voltage
from 0.8V to 5V while delivering up to 3A of output current.
The internal synchronous low on-resistance power
switches increase efficiency and eliminate the need for
an external Schottky diode. The default switching
frequency is set at 2MHz, if the RT pin is left open. It can
also be varied from 200kHz to 2MHz by adding an external
resistor. Current mode operation with external
compensation allows the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.

Pin Name
Pin Function
Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The current comparator
threshold increases with this control voltage. Connect
external compensation elements to this pin to stabilize the
control loop.
Soft-Start Control Input. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND
to set the soft-start period. A 10nF capacitor sets the
soft-start period to 800μs (typ.).
Enable Control Input. Float or connect this pin to logic high
for enable. Connect to GND for disable.
Power Input Supply. Decouple this pin to GND with a
capacitor.
Internal Power MOSFET Switches Output. Connect this pin
to the inductor.
Oscillator Resistor Input. Connect a resistor from this pin to
GND sets the switching frequency. If this pin is floating, the
frequency will be set at 2MHz internally.
Feedback. Receives the feedback voltage from a resistive
divider connected across the output.
Power Good Indicator. This pin is an open drain logic output
that is pulled to ground when the output voltage is not within
±12.5%
of regulation point.
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB
and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
