RT8020
Dual High-Efficiency PWM Step-Down DC/DC Converter
General Description
The RT8020 is a dual high-efficiency Pulse-Width-
Modulated (PWM) step-down DC/DC converter. It is
capable of delivering 1A output current over a wide input
voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V, the RT8020 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 other hand-
held devices.
Two operational modes are available : PWM/Low-Dropout
auto-switch and shutdown modes. 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 RT8020 enters Low-Dropout mode when normal PWM
cannot provide regulated output voltage by continuously
turning on the upper PMOS. The RT8020 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
WDFN-12L 3x3 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.
