RT7270
3A, 18V, 340kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT7270 is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 3A
output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The
RT7270's current mode architecture and external
compensation allow the transient response to be
optimized over a wide input voltage range and loads.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against
shorted outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current
surge during start-up. The RT7270 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 RT7270 is available in an
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 18V. Must bypass with a suitable large ceramic
capacitor.
Switch 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. It is used to regulate the output of the converter to a set value
via an external resistive voltage divider.
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 IC
into shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 3μA.
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.
