RT8008
1.5MHz, 600mA, High Efficiency PWM Step-Down DC/DC
Converter
General Description
The RT8008 is a high-efficiency pulse-width-modulated
(PWM) step-down DC/DC converter. Capable of delivering
600mA output current over a wide input voltage range from
2.5V to 5.5V, the RT8008 is ideally suited for portable
electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell Li-ion
battery or from other power sources within the range such
as cellular phones, PDAs and handy-terminals.
Internal synchronous rectifier with low R
DS(ON)
dramatically
reduces conduction loss at PWM mode. No external
Schottky diode is required in practical application. The
RT8008 automatically turns off the synchronous rectifier
while the inductor current is low and enters discontinuous
PWM mode. This can increase efficiency at light load
condition.
The RT8008 enters Low-Dropout mode when normal PWM
cannot provide regulated output voltage by continuously
turning on the upper P-MOSFET. RT8008 enter shutdown
mode and consumes less than 0.1μA when EN pin is pulled
low.
The switching ripple is easily smoothed-out by small
package filtering elements due to a fixed operation
frequency of 1.5MHz. This along with small SOT-23-5 and
TSOT-23-5 package provides small PCB area application.
Other features include soft start, lower internal reference
voltage with 2% accuracy, over temperature protection,
and over current protection.

Note 1.
Stresses listed as the above
“Absolute
Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are for
stress ratings. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the
operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may remain possibility to affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured in the natural convection at T
A
= 25°C on a low effective single layer thermal conductivity test board of
JEDEC 51-3 thermal measurement standard. Pin 2 of SOT-23-5/TSOT-23-5 packages is the case position for
θ

measurement.
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution recommended.
Note 4.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
