OUTLINE
The RP506K Series are low supply current CMOS-based PWM/VFM step-down DC/DC converters with
synchronous rectifier featuring 2A
*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, a
latch type protection circuit, an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit, a thermal shutdown circuit, and switching
transistors.
The RP506K is employing synchronous rectification for improving the efficiency of rectification by replacing
diodes with built-in switching transistors. 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 type can be selected from an internally fixed output voltage type (RP506Kxx1A/B/D/E) or an
externally adjustable output voltage type (RP506K001C/F). The output voltage of the RP506Kxx1A/B/D/E can be
set by 0.1V step and the output voltage accuracy is as high as ±1.5% or
±18mV.
The output voltage of the
RP506K001C/F can be set by using the external resistors.
Oscillator frequency can be selected from 2.25MHz (RP506Kxx1A/B/C) or 1.2MHz (RP506Kxx1D/E/F).
Soft-start time is Typ. 0.15ms, and by connecting an external capacitor to the T
SS
pin, soft-start time is adjustable.
Power good (PG) function monitors the V
OUT
pin voltage or the feedback pin voltage (V
FB
), and switches the
PG pin to low if any abnormal condition is detected.
Protection circuits included in the RP506K are over current protection circuit, latch type 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 Pch Tr. Latch type protection circuit latches
the built-in driver to the OFF state and stops the operation of the step-down DC/DC converter if the over current
status continues or V
OUT
continues being the half of the setting voltage for equal or longer than protection delay
time (tprot). 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 RP506K is available in DFN(PLP)2527-10 which achieves high-density mounting on boards.

active mode to the standby mode, by releasing the electrical charge accumulated in the external capacitor.
