RT8295A
2A, 23V, 340kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8295A 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
RT8295A'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 RT8295A also provides under
voltage protection and thermal shutdown prptection. The
low current (<3μA) shutdown mode provides output
disconnection, enabling easy power management in
battery-powered systems. The RT8295A is available in a
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Pin Function
Bootstrap for high side gate driver. Connect a 0.1µF 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 an 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. 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.
Chip Enable (Active High). A logic high enables the converter; a logic low
forces the RT8295A 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 13.5ms.
