RT8284N
2A, 23V, 340kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8284N is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 2A output
current from a 4.5V to 23V input supply. The RT8284N's
current mode architecture and external compensation
allow 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. The RT8284N 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
RT8284N is a available in a SOP-8 and SOP-8
(Exposed Pad) package.

Pin Name
Pin Function
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 10nF or greater
ceramic capacitor from BOOT to SW pins.
Input Supply Voltage, 4.5V to 23V. Must bypass with a suitably 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 internal 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 RT8284N into shutdown mode reducing the supply current
to less than 3μA. Attach this pin to VIN with a 100kΩ 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 0.1μF
capacitor sets the soft-start period to 15.5ms .
