RT6251A/B
3A, 18V, Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT6251A/B is a high efficiency, monolithic
synchronous step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver
up to 3A output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply.
The RT6251A/B current-mode architecture with external
compensation allows 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. Fault condition protections include
output under-voltage protection, output over-voltage
protection, and over-temperature protection. The low
current shutdown mode provides output disconnection,
enabling easy power management in battery-powered
systems.

Pin Function
Oscillator Resistor and External Frequency Synchronization Input. Connecting a
resistor from this pin to GND sets the switching frequency or connecting an
external clock to this pin changes the switching frequency.
System Ground. Provide the ground return path for the control circuitry and
low-side power MOSFET. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB
and connected to GND for minimum power dissipation.
Power Input. Supplies the power switches of the device.
Supply Voltage Input. Supplies the control circuitry and internal reference of the
device.
Feedback Voltage Input. This pin is used to set the desired output voltage via an
external resistive divider. The feedback reference voltage is 0.8V typically.
Compensation Node. The current comparator threshold increases with this
control voltage. Connect external compensation elements to this pin to stabilize
the control loop.
Soft-Start and Tracking Control Input. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND to
set the soft-start period. The soft-start period can be used to track and sequence
when the external voltage on this pin overrides the internal reference.
Enable Control Input. Floating this pin or connecting this pin to logic high can
enable the device and connecting this pin to GND can disable the device.

Switch Node. LX is the switching node that supplies power to the output and
connect the output LC filter from LX to the output load.
Bootstrap Supply for High-Side Gate Driver. Connect a 100nF or greater
capacitor from LX to BOOT to power the high-side switch.
Power Good Indicator Output. This pin is an open-drain logic output that is pulled
to ground when the output voltage is lower or higher than its specified threshold
under the conditions of OVP, OTP, dropout, EN shutdown, or during slow start.

Operation
UV Comparator
If the feedback voltage (V
FB
) is lower than threshold voltage
(91% of V
REF
), the UV Comparator's output goes high
and the logic control circuit is allowed to turn on the
MOSFET to pull PGOOD pin to low.
OV Comparator
If the feedback voltage (V
FB
) is higher than threshold voltage
(109% of V
REF
), the OV Comparator's output goes high
and the logic control circuit is allowed to turn on the
MOSFET to pull PGOOD pin to low.
Voltage Reference
The converter produces a precise
±1%
voltage reference
over-temperature by scaling the output of a temperature
stable bandgap circuit.
Error Amplifier
The device uses a transconductance error amplifier. The
error amplifier compares the FB pin voltage with the SS/
TR pin voltage and the internal reference voltage which is
0.8V. The transconductance of the error amplifier is 1300
μA/V
during normal operation. The compensation network
should be connected between the COMP pin and ground.
Oscillator with RT/SYNC function
The switching frequency is adjustable by an external
resistor connected between the RT/SYNC pin and GND.
The available frequency range is from 200kHz to 1.2MHz.
An internal synchronized circuit has been implemented
to switch from RT mode to SYNC mode. To implement
the synchronization function, connect a square wave clock
signal to the RT/SYNC pin with a duty cycle between
10% to 90%. The switching cycle is synchronized to the
falling edge of the external clock at RT/SYNC pin.
