Introduction General Product Information The RT2853BH are high-performance 650kHz 3A step-down regulators with internal power switches and synchronous rectifiers. The feature quick transient response using Advanced Constant On-Time (ACOT™) control architecture that provides stable operation with small ceramic output capacitors and without complicated external compensation, among other benefits. The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 18V and the output is adjustable from 0.765V to 7V. The proprietary ACOT™ control improves upon other fast response constant on-time architectures, achieving nearly constant switching frequency over line, load, and output voltage ranges. Since there is no internal clock, response to transients is nearly instantaneous and inductor current can ramp quickly to maintain output regulation without large bulk output capacitance. The RT2853BH are stable with and optimized for ceramic output capacitors. With internal 110mΩ switches and 30mΩ synchronous rectifiers, the RT2853BH display excellent efficiency and good behavior across a range of applications, especially for low output voltages and low duty cycles. Cycle-bycycle current limit, input under-voltage lock-out, externallyadjustable soft-start, output under- and over-voltage protection, and thermal shutdown provide safe and smooth operation in all operating conditions. The RT2853BH is available in WQFN-16L 3x3 package, with exposed thermal pads.

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) VIN Input voltage Power input. EN Enable test point Externally pulled high to enable and pulled low to disable this chip. It is internally pulled up to high when the pin is floating. GND Ground The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation. VREG5 Internal Regulator Output Internal Regulator Output. Connect a 1μF capacitor to GND to stabilize output voltage. SS Soft-Start Control Connect an external capacitor between this pin and GND to set the soft-start time. PG Power good test point Output of power good indicator. BOOT Bootstrap supply test point Bootstrap supply for high-side gate driver. Connect a capacitor between the BOOT and SW pins. SW Switch node test point Connect this pin to an external L-C filter. EVB_RT2853BHGQW-00 April 2016 3 http://www.richtek.com RT2853BHGQW Evaluation Board your power partner. Power-up & Measurement Procedure 1. Apply a 12V nominal input power supply (4.5< VIN < 18V) to the VIN and GND terminals. 2. Set the jumper at JP2 to connect terminals 2 and 3, connecting EN to enable operation. 3. Set the jumper at JP1 to connect terminals 1 and 2, power VCC pin by VIN voltage source. 4. Verify the output voltage (approximately 1.05V) between VOUT and GND. 5. Connect an external load up to 3A to the VOUT and GND terminals and verify the output voltage and current. Output Voltage Setting Set the output voltage with the resistive divider (R2, R3) between VOUT and GND with the midpoint connected to FB. The output is set by the following formula : VOUT = 0.765 × (1 + R2 ) R3 EVB_RT2853BHGQW-00 April 2016 4 http://www.richtek.com RT2853BHGQW Evaluation Board your power partner.
