RT2805A
5A, 36V, 500kHz Current Mode Asynchronous Step-Down
Converter
General Description
Features
The RT2805A is a current mode asynchronous step-down
converter that achieves excellent load and line regulation.
Over a wide input voltage range from 5.5V to 36V and
supports output current up to 5A. The Current mode
operation provides fast transient response and eases loop
stabilization.
An adjustable soft-start reduces the stress on the input
source at startup. In shutdown mode, the regulator draws
only 25μA of supply current. The RT2805A requires a
minimum number of readily available external
components, providing a compact solution. The RT2805A
provides protection functions inducing input under voltage
lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, short circuit
protection and thermal shutdown protection.
The RT2805A is available in the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad)
package.

RT2805A
Operation
The RT2805A is a constant frequency, current mode
asynchronous step-down converter. In normal operation,
the high side N-MOSFET is turned on when the S-R latch
is set by the oscillator and is turned off when the current
comparator resets the S-R latch. While the N-MOSFET
is turned off, the inductor current conducts through the
external diode.
Error Amplifier
The error amplifier adjusts its output voltage by comparing
the feedback signal (V FB) with the internal 1.222V
reference. When the load current increases, it causes a
drop in the feedback voltage relative to the reference, the
error amplifier's output voltage then rises to allow higher
inductor current to match the load current.
Oscillator
The internal oscillator runs at fixed frequency 500kHz. In
short circuit condition, the frequency is reduced to 150kHz
for low power consumption.
Enable
The converter is turned on when the EN pin is higher than
1.4V and turned off when the EN pin is lower than 0.4V.
When the EN pin is open, it will be pulled up to logic-high
by 1μA current internally.
Soft-Start (SS)
An internal current source charges an internal capacitor
to build a soft-start ramp voltage. The FB voltage will track
the internal ramp voltage during soft-start interval. The
typical soft-start time is 5ms.
Thermal Shutdown
The over temperature protection function will shut down
the switching operation when the junction temperature
exceeds 150°C. Once the junction temperature cools
down by approximately 30°C, the converter will
automatically resume switching.
Internal Regulator
The regulator provides low voltage power to supply the
internal control circuits and the bootstrap power for high
side gate driver.

RT2805A
Application Information
The RT2805A is an asynchronous high voltage buck
converter that can support the input voltage range from
5.5V to 32V and the output current can be up to 5A.
Output Voltage Setting
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output
voltage as shown in Figure 1.
VOUT

Figure 1. Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage is set by an external resistive divider
according to the following equation :
VOUT = VREF 1 R1

Where VREF is the reference voltage (1.222V typ.).
Soft-Start
The RT2805A contains an internal soft-start clamp that
gradually raises the output voltage. The typical soft-start
time is 5ms.
Chip Enable Operation
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pull the EN pin low
