General Description
The RT2825 features two synchronous wide input range
high efficiency buck converters that cab deliver up to 5A/
5A output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The
converters are designed to simplify its application while
giving the designer the option to optimize their usage
according to the target application.
The converters can operate in 5V, 9V, 12V or 15V systems
and have integrated power transistors. The RT2825's
current mode architecture allows the transient response
to be improved. Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides
protection against shorted outputs.
Each converter features enable pin that allows a delayed
start-up for sequencing purposes, soft start pin that allows
adjustable soft-start time by choosing the soft-start
capacitor, and a current limit (RLIMx) pin that enables
designer to adjust current limit by selecting an external
resistor and optimize the choice of inductor. The COMP
pin allows optimizing transient versus dc accuracy
response with a simple RC compensation.
The switching frequency of the converters can either be
set with an external resistor connected to ROSC pin or
can be synchronized to an external clock if needed. The
switching regulators are designed to operate from
200kHz to 1MHz. The converters operate with 180° phase
between two channels to minimize the input filter
requirements.
The RT2825 also features a low power mode enabled by
an external signal, which allows for a reduction on the
input power supplied to the system when the host
processor is in stand-by (low activity) mode.
The RT2825 is available in a VQFN-36L 6x6 package.
