It features quick transient response using its Advanced Constant On-Time (ACOTTM) 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 8V. The proprietary ACOTTM 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 RT7275 is stable with and optimized for ceramic output capacitors. With its internal 90mΩ switch and 60mΩ synchronous rectifier, the RT7275 displays excellent efficiency and good behavior across a range of applications, especially for low output voltages and low duty cycles. Cycle-by cycle current limit, input under-voltage lock-out, externally-adjustable soft-start, output under- and overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown provide safe and smooth operation in all operating conditions. The RT7275 evaluation board uses the RT7275GQW IC in a WDFN-10L3x3 package with an exposed thermal pad. The IC is also available in a PTSSOP-14 package with an exposed thermal pad.

Test point/ Signal Comment (expected waveforms or voltage levels on test points) VIN Input voltage Input voltage range = 4.5V to 18V VOUT Output voltage Default output voltage = 1.05V Pin name Output voltage range = 0.765V to 8V (see ‘’ Output Voltage Setting’’ section for changing output voltage level) GND Ground Ground reference for the input voltage, output voltage and analog ground SW Switching node test point SW waveform EN Enable test point Enable signal. Drive EN or install a shorting block on Jumper JP1 to enable operation (shorting 2-3) or disable operation (shorting 1-2). JP1 Chip enable control Install jumper or drive EN directly to enable or disable operation BOOT Boot strap supply test point Floating supply voltage for the high-side N-MOSFET switch SS Soft-start control test point Soft start waveform PVCC Linear regulator output test Internal linear regulator output= 5.1V point PG Power good output test Connected to PVCC through R29, PG voltage is 5.1V when soft-start is point complete and the output voltage is in regulation Power-up & Measurement Procedure 1. Connect a jumper at JP1 terminals 1 and 2, connecting EN to GND, to disable operation. 2. Apply a 12V nominal input power supply (4.5V < VIN < 18V) to the VIN and GND terminals. 3. Set the jumper at JP1 to connect terminals 2 and 3, connecting EN to VIN through resistor R30, to enable operation. 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 (R23, R28) between VOUT and GND with the midpoint at FB. The output is set by the following formula: VOUT = 0.765 x (1 + R23 ) R28 The installed VOUT capacitors (C11, C12) are 22μF, 16V X5R ceramic types. Do not exceed their operating voltage range and consider their voltage coefficient (capacitance vs. bias voltage) and ensure that the capacitance is sufficient to maintain stability and provide sufficient transient response for your application. Installing a small 5pF to 22pF capacitor at C30 (in parallel with R23) may be desirable to improve transient response for higher output voltages. See the RT7275 IC datasheet for more information.
