RP501K SERIES
1A Step-down DC/DC Converters with synchronous rectifier
NO.EA-199-111124
OUTLINE
The RP501K Series are CMOS-based step-down DC/DC Converters with synchronous rectifier.
Each of these ICs consists of an oscillator, a switching control circuit, a reference voltage unit, an error
amplifier, a soft-start circuit, protection circuits, UVLO circuit, switching transistors. A low ripple, high efficiency
step-down DC/DC converter can be easily composed of this IC with only an inductor and capacitors. In terms of
the output voltage, since the feedback resistances are built-in, the voltage is fixed internally. 50mV
(custom-made) step output can be set by laser-trim and
±1.5%
or
±24mV
tolerance depending on the output
voltage is guaranteed.
Mode alternative circuit works automatically for improving the efficiency. Considering fixed noise frequency,
PWM fixed control type is also available. As protection circuits, the current limit circuit which limits peak current
of L
X
at each clock cycle, and the latch type protection circuit which works if the term of the over-current condition
keeps on a certain time exist. The latch-type protection circuit works to latch an internal driver with keeping it
disable. To release the condition of the protection, after disabling this IC with a chip enable circuit, enable it again,
or restart this IC with power-on or make the supply voltage at UVLO detector threshold level or lower than UVLO.
Since the package is DFN(PLP)2527-10, high density mounting on boards is possible.

):
Designation is possible in the range from 1.0V to 3.3V with a step of 0.1V
∗
: Designation of Active Type
(A) without auto-discharge function
(B) with auto-discharge function
When the mode is into standby with CE signal, auto-discharge transistor turns on, and it makes the turn-off speed
faster then normal type.
* Stepwise setting with 0.05V is possible by custom-made.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Electronic and mechanical stress momentarily exceeded absolute maximum ratings may cause the
permanent damages and may degrade the life time and safety for both device and system using the device
in the field. The functional operation at or over these absolute maximum ratings is not assured.
RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS (ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS)
All of electronic equipment should be designed that the mounted semiconductor devices operate within the
recommended operating conditions. The semiconductor devices cannot operate normally over the
recommended operating conditions, even if when they are used over such conditions by momentary
electronic noise or surge. And the semiconductor devices may receive serious damage when they continue
to operate over the recommended operating conditions.
