RT8290
3A, 23V, 340kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8290 is a high efficiency synchronous step-down
DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 3A output current
from 4.5V to 23V input supply. The RT8290's current mode
architecture and external compensation allow the transient
response to be optimized over a wide range of loads and
output capacitors. Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides
protection against shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates
input current surge during start-up. The RT8290 also
provides output 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 RT8290
is awailable in an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Pin Function
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 10nF or greater ceramic capacitor
from the BOOT pin to SW pin.
Voltage Supply Input. The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 23V. A suitable large
capacitor must be bypassed with this pin.
Switching Node. Connect the output LC filter between the SW pin and output load.
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum power dissipation.
Output Voltage Feedback Input. The feedback reference voltage is 0.925V
typically.
Compensation Node. This pin is used for compensating the regulation control
loop. A series RC network is required to be connected from COMP to GND. If
needed, an additional capacitor can be connected from COMP to GND.
Enable Input. A logic high enables the converter, a logic low forces the converter
into shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 3A. For automatic
startup, connect this pin to VIN with a 100k pull up resistor.
Soft-Start Control Input. The soft-start period can be set by connecting a capacitor
from SS to GND. A 0.1F capacitor sets the soft-start period to 15.5ms typically.
