RT8299
3A, 24V, 500kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8299 is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter with internal power MOSFETs.
It achieves 3A of continuous output current over a wide
input supply range from 3V to 24V with excellent load and
line regulation. Current mode operation provides fast
transient response and eases loop stabilization. Cycle-
by-cycle current limit provides protection against shorted
outputs and soft-start eliminates input current surge during
start-up. Thermal shutdown provides reliable, fault tolerant
operation. The low current shutdown mode provides output
disconnection, enabling easy power management in battery
powered systems.

Pin Function
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 0.1F or greater
ceramic capacitor from BOOT to SW pin.
Supply Input Voltage. Must bypass with a suitably large ceramic
capacitor.
Switch Node. Connect to external LC filter.
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and
connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
Feedback Input. This pin is connected to the converter output. It
is used to regulate the output of the converter to a desired value
via an internal resistive voltage divider. For an adjustable output,
an external resistive voltage divider is connected to this pin.
Enable Input. A logic high enables the converter; a logic low
forces the RT8299 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.
Power Good Output. The output of this pin is open drain.
Bias Supply.
