RT7248
2A, 18V, 340kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT7248 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 RT7248'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 RT7248
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 RT7248
is available in SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Pin Function
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 100nF or greater ceramic
capacitor from BOOT to SW pins.
Input Supply Voltage, 4.5V to 18V. Must bypass with a suitable large
ceramic capacitor.
Phase Node. Connect this pin to 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 Pin. This pin is connected to the converter output. It is used
to set the output of the converter to regulate to the desired value via an
external resistive voltage divider. For an adjustable output, an external
resistive voltage divider is connected to this pin.
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 pin. 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 15.5ms.

Operation
Shutdown Comparator
Activate internal regulator once EN input level is larger
than the target level. Force IC to enter shutdown mode
when the EN input level is lower than 0.4V.
Internal Regulator
Provide internal power for logic control and switch gate
drivers.
Lockout Comparator
Activate the Current Comparator, release lock-out logic,
and enable the switches as EN input level is larger than
lockout voltage. Otherwise, the switches still locks 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 Amp
The output voltage COMP of the error amplifier is adjusted
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. Then, it controls
the switches by comparing this signal with the COMP
voltage.
