RP402x Series
High Efficiency Small Packaged Step-up DC/DC Converter
No. EA-317-181205
OUTLINE
The RP402x is a high efficiency step-up DC/DC converter with synchronous rectifier. The device can start up
with low voltage of typically 0.7 V which is ideal for the applications powered by either one-cell or two-cell
alkaline, nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) or one-cell Lithium-ion (Li+) batteries.
Internally, the RP402x consists of an oscillator, a reference voltage unit with soft start, a chip enable circuit, an
error amplifier, phase compensation circuits, a slope circuit, a PWM control circuit, a start-up circuit, a
PWM/VFM mode control circuit, internal switches and protection circuits.
The RP402x is employing synchronous rectification for improving the efficiency or 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.
The RP402x is available in either internally fixed output voltage type or adjustable output voltage type. The
RP402xxxxx is the internally fixed output voltage type. The RP402x00xx is the adjustable output voltage type,
which allows output voltages that range from 1.8 V to 5.5 V via an external divider resistor.
The RP402x provides the forced PWM control and the PWM/VFM auto switching control. Either one of these
can be selected by inputting a signal to the MODE pin. The forced PWM control switches at fixed frequency
rate in low output current in order to reduce noise. Likewise, the PWM/VFM auto switching control automatically
switches from PWM mode to VFM mode in low output current in order to achieve high efficiency. The RP402N
is available in the PWM/VFM auto switching control. However, the RP402N is also available in the forced PWM
control as a custom-designed IC

.
The RP402x has a soft-start time of typically 0.5 ms.
The RP402x features the complete output disconnect shutdown option and the input-to-output bypass
shutdown option. The RP402xxxxA/ B/ E/ F incorporates the complete output disconnect shutdown option,
which allows the output to be disconnected from the input. The RP402xxxxC/ D/ G/ H incorporates the input-
to-output bypass shutdown option, which allows the output to be connected to the input.
The RP402x is protected against damage by a short-current protection, an over-voltage lockout, an over
voltage protection, an anti-ringing switch and a latch-type protection. An anti-ringing switch prevents the
occurrence of noise when an inductor current reaches a discontinuous mode. The RP402x provides optional
Latch function with current limit detection which can turn off the power in case the limit values are detected for
a fixed time and current limit circuit controls peak inductor currents in every clock. The latch-type protection
can be released by switching the CE pin from high to low while the power is turned on.
The RP402x is offered in a compact 5-pin SOT23-5 package or a 8-pin DFN(PLP)2020-8 package.
