RT8097C
2A, 1MHz, 6V CMCOT Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8097C is a high efficiency synchronous step-
down DC/DC converter. Its input voltage range is from
2.7V to 6V and provides an adjustable regulated output
voltage from 0.6V to 3.4V while delivering up to 2A of
output current.
The internal synchronous low on-resistance power
switches increase efficiency and eliminate the need for
an external Schottky diode. The Current Mode
Constant-On-time (CMCOT) operation with internal
compensation allows the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loads and output
capacitors. The RT8097C is available in the SOT-23-
5/6 package.

RT8097C
Operation
The RT8097C is a synchronous low voltage step-down
converter that can support the input voltage range from
2.7V to 6V and the output current can be up to 2A. The
RT8097C uses a constant on-time, current mode
architecture. In normal operation, the high side P-
MOSFET is turned on when the switch controller is set
by the comparator and is turned off when the Ton
comparator resets the switch controller.
Low side MOSFET peak current is measured by internal
RSENSE. 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, then the COMP
voltage rises to allow higher inductor current to match
the load current.
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. The output under voltage protection is
designed to operate in Hiccup mode for RT8097CH,
Latch mode for RT8097CL.
PGOOD Comparator
When the feedback voltage (V
FB
) is higher than
threshold voltage 0.54V, the PGOOD open drain output
will be high impedance. The internal PG MOSFET is
typical 10. The PGOOD signal delay time from EN is
about 2ms.
Enable Comparator
A logic-high enables the converter; a logic-low forces
the IC into shutdown mode.
Soft-Start (SS)
An internal current source charges an internal capacitor
to build the soft-start ramp voltage. The V
FB
voltage will
track the internal ramp voltage during soft-start interval.
The typical soft-start time is 1.2ms.
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The RT8097C provides over current protection by
detecting low side MOSFET valley inductor current. If
the sensed valley inductor current is over the current
limit threshold (3.1A typ.), the OCP will be triggered.
When OCP is tripped, the RT8097C will keep the over
current threshold level then cause the UV protection.
Thermal Shutdown (OTP)
The device implements an internal thermal shutdown
function when the junction temperature exceeds 150C.
The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop
switching when the junction temperature exceeds the
thermal shutdown threshold. Once the die temperature
decreases below the hysteresis of 20C, the device
reinstates the power up sequence.
