RT4813C
High Efficiency Boost Converter
General Description
The RT4813C allows systems to take advantage of
new battery chemistries that can supply significant
energy when the battery voltage is lower than the
required voltage for system power ICs. By combining
built-in power transistors, synchronous rectification,
and low supply current; this IC provides a compact
solution for systems using advanced Li-Ion battery
chemistries.
The RT4813C is a boost regulator designed to provide
a minimum output voltage from a single-cell Li-Ion
battery, even when the battery voltage is below system
minimum. In boost mode, output voltage regulation is
guaranteed to a maximum load current of 3.1A.
Quiescent current in Shutdown Mode is less than 1A,
which maximizes battery life.

RT4813C
Operation
The RT4813C combined built-in power transistors,
synchronous rectification, and low supply current, it
provides a compact solution for system using advanced
Li-Ion battery chemistries.
In boost mode, output voltage regulation is guaranteed to
a maximum load current of 3.1A. Quiescent current in
Shutdown mode is less than 1A, which maximizes
battery life.
Startup and Shutdown State
When V
IN
is rising and through the LIN state, it will
enter the Startup state. If EN is pulled low, any function
is turned-off in shutdown mode.
Soft-Start State
It starts to switch in Soft-start state. After the LIN state,
output voltage is rising with the internal reference
voltage.

LIN State
The timeout of LIN2 is over the 1024s.
It will be the high impedance between the input and
output when the fault is triggered. A restart will be start
after 20ms.
When V
IN
is rising, it enters the LIN State. There are
two parts for the LIN state. It provides maximum current
for 1A to charge the C
OUT
in LIN1, and the other one is
for 2A in LIN2. By the way, the EN is pulled high and
V
IN
> UVLO.
As the Figure 1 shown, if the timeout is over the
specification, it will enter the Fault mode.
EN = 1,
Vin > UVLO
OCP
The converter senses the current signal when the
high-side P-MOSFET turns on. As a result, the OCP is
cycle by-cycle current limitation. If the OCP occurs, the
converter holds off the next on pulse until inductor
current drops below the OCP limit.
OTP
The converter has an over-temperature protection.
When the junction temperature is higher than the
thermal shutdown rising threshold, the system will be

latched and the output voltage will no longer be
regulated until the junction temperature drops under
the falling threshold.
