Application Information

Enable

The device can be enabled or disabled by the EN pin.

When the EN pin is higher than the threshold of

logic-high, the device starts operating with soft-start.

Once the EN pin is set at low, the device will be shut

down. In shutdown mode, the converter stops

switching, internal control circuitry is turned off, and

the load is disconnected from the input. This also

means that the output voltage can drop below the

input voltage during shutdown.

Soft-Start State

boost valley-current limited value 3500mA.

the Soft-Start period for more than 2ms, a fault

condition is declared.

Output Voltage Setting

The output voltage is adjustable by an external

resistive divider. The resistive divider must be

connected between VOUT, FB and GND. When the

output voltage is regulated properly, the typical value

of the voltage at the FB pin is 500mV. Output voltage

can be calculated by equation as below :

Power Save Mode

PSM is the way to improve efficiency at light load.

When the output voltage is lower than a set threshold

voltage, the converter will operate in PSM.

It raises the output voltage with several pulses until

the loop exits PSM.

Under-Voltage Lockout

The under-voltage lockout circuit prevents the device

from operating incorrectly at low input voltages. It

prevents the converter from turning on the power

switches under undefined conditions and prevents the

battery from deep discharge. VIN voltage must be

greater than 1.65V to enable the converter. During

operation, if VIN voltage drops below 1.55V, the

converter is disabled until the supply exceeds the

UVLO rising threshold. The RT4813 automatically

restarts if the input voltage recovers to the input

voltage UVLO high level.

Thermal Shutdown

The device has a built-in temperature sensor which

monitors the internal junction temperature. If the

temperature exceeds the threshold, the device stops

operating. As soon as the IC temperature has

decreased below the threshold with a hysteresis, it

starts operating again. The built-in hysteresis is

designed

to

avoid

temperatures near the over temperature threshold.
