Introduction General Product Information The RT8096A is a high efficiency synchronous step-down DC/DC converter. Its input voltage range is from 2.5V to 6V and provides an adjustable regulated output voltage from 0.6V to 3.4V while delivering up to 1A of output current. The internal synchronous low on-resistance power switches increase efficiency and eliminate the need for an external Schottky diode. The Current Mode Constant-On-time (CMCOT) operation with internal compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors. The RT8096A is available in the TSOT-23-6 package.

Bench Test Setup Conditions Headers Description and Placement Please carefully inspect the EVB IC and external components, comparing them to the following Bill of Materials, to ensure that all components are installed and undamaged. If any components are missing or damaged during transportation, please contact the distributor or send e-mail to evb_service@richtek.com. Test Points The EVB is provided with the test points and pin names listed in the table below. Test point/ Pin name Signal Comment (expected waveforms or voltage levels on test points) FB Feedback Voltage Input Feedback Voltage Input. An external resistor divider from the output to GND, tapped to the FB pin, sets the output voltage. VIN Input voltage Supply Voltage Input. The RT8096A operates from a 2.5V to 6V input. GND Ground Power Ground. PG Power Good Indicator Power Good Indicator. The output of this pin is an open-drain with external pull-up resistor to IN. PG is pulled up to IN when the FB voltage is within 90%, otherwise it is LOW. LX Switch node Switch node. EN Enable Control Input Enable Control Input. Power-up & Measurement Procedure 1. Apply a 3.3V nominal input power supply (2.5V < VIN < 6V) to the VIN and GND terminals. 2. Set the jumper at JP1 to connect terminals 2 and 3, connecting EN to VIN. 3. Verify the output voltage (approximately 1.2V) between VOUT and GND. 4. Connect an external load up to 1A to the VOUT and GND terminals and verify the output voltage and current.

Output Voltage Setting Set the output voltage with the resistive divider (R1, R2) between VOUT and GND with the midpoint connected to FB. The output is set by the following formula : VOUT = VREF × (1 + R1 ) R2 Schematic, Bill of Materials & Board Layout EVB Schematic Diagram Bill of Materials Reference Qty Part Number Description Package Manufacturer U1 1 RT8096AHGJ6 DC/DC Converter TSOT-23-6 RICHTEK C1 1 NC C-0603 C2, C3 2 10µF/50V/X5R/1206 C-1206 C4, C5 2 NA C-1210 L1 1 NR8040T1R4N 1.4µH L-NR8040_2 R1, R2, R3 3 0603 100K 1% 100k R-0603 R4 1 NC R-0603 EVB_RT8096AHGJ6-00 C3216X5R1H106KT000N April 2016 4 TDK TAIYO YUDEN WALSIN http://www.richtek.com RT8096AHGJ6 Evaluation Board your power partner.
