RT8525
Boost Controller with Dimming Control
General Description
The RT8525 is a wide input operating voltage range step
up controller. High voltage output and large output current
are feasible by using an external N-MOSFET. The RT8525
input operating range is from 4.5V to 29V.
The RT8525 is an optimized design for wide output voltage
range applications. The output voltage of the RT8525 can
be adjusted by the FB pin. The PWMI pin can be used as
a digital input, allowing WLED brightness control with a
logic-level PWM signal.

Note 1.
Stresses beyond those listed
“Absolute
Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may
affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured at T
A
= 25°C on a low effective thermal conductivity single-layer test board per JEDEC 51-3.
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions..
