RP508x Series
600 mA 6 MHz Synchronous Step-down DC/DC Converter
NO. EA-318-130828
OUTLINE
The RP508x is a low supply current CMOS-based PWM/VFM step-down DC/DC converter with synchronous
rectifier featuring 600 mA
*1
output current. Internally, a single converter consists of an oscillator, a reference
voltage unit, an error amplifier, a switching control circuit, a mode control circuit, a soft-start circuit, an
under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit, an over current protection circuit, a thermal shutdown circuit and switching
transistors.
By the adoption of the synchronous rectification circuit with built-in switching transistors, the RP508x works as
super efficient step-down DC/DC converter, without connecting external diodes. Using synchronous rectification
not only increases circuit performance but also allows a design to reduce parts count.
Power controlling method can be selected from forced PWM control type or PWM/VFM auto switching control
type by inputting a signal to the MODE pin. In low output current, forced PWM control switches at fixed frequency
rate in order to reduce noise. Likewise, in low output current, PWM/VFM auto switching control automatically
switches from PWM mode to VFM mode in order to achieve high efficiency.
Output voltage is internally fixed type which allows output voltages that range from 0.8 V to 3.3 V in 0.1 V step.
The output voltage accuracy is as high as ±1.5% or
±18
mV.
Protection circuits included in the RP508x are over current protection circuit and thermal shutdown circuit. Over
current protection circuit supervises the inductor peak current in each switching cycle, and if the current exceeds
the L
X
current limit (I
LXLIM
), it turns off P-channel Tr. Thermal shutdown circuit detects overheating of the converter
if the output pin is shorted to the ground pin (GND) etc. and stops the converter operation to protect it from
damage if the junction temperature exceeds the specified temperature.
The RP508x is offered in a small and thin 6-pin DFN(PLP)1212-6F package which achieves the smallest
possible footprint solution on boards where area is limited.
For an input capacitor (C
IN
) and an output capacitor (C
OUT
), the smaller sized 0402/1005 (inch/mm) capacitor
can be used. For an inductor (L), the smaller sized 0603/1608 or 1005/2012 (inch/mm) inductor can be used.

This is an approximate value. The output current is dependent on conditions and external components.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Electronic and mechanical stress momentarily exceeded absolute maximum ratings may cause the permanent
damages and may degrade the life time and safety for both device and system using the device in the field. The
functional operation at or over these absolute maximum ratings are not assured.
RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS (ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS)
All of electronic equipment should be designed that the mounted semiconductor devices operate within the
recommended operating conditions. The semiconductor devices cannot operate normally over the recommended
operating conditions, even if when they are used over such conditions by momentary electronic noise or surge. And
the semiconductor devices may receive serious damage when they continue to operate over the recommended
operating conditions.
