Operation
The RT5760A/B/C/D is a high-efficiency, synchronous
Enable Control
step-down DC-DC converter that can deliver up to 1A
output current from a 2.5V to 6V input supply.
The RT5760A/B/C/D provides an EN pin, as an
external chip enable control, to enable or disable the
device. If VEN is held below a logic-low threshold
voltage (VEN_L) of the enable input (EN), the converter
will disable output voltage, that is, the converter is
disabled and switching is inhibited even if the VIN
voltage is above VIN under-voltage lockout threshold
(VUVLO). During shutdown mode, the supply current
can be reduced to ISHDN (1A or below). If the EN
voltage rises above the logic-high threshold voltage
(VEN_H) while the VIN voltage is higher than UVLO
Advanced Constant On-Time Control and PWM
Operation
The RT5760A/B/C/D adopts ACOT® control for its
ultrafast transient response, low external component
counts and stable with low ESR MLCC output
capacitors. When the feedback voltage falls below the
feedback reference voltage, the minimum off-time
one-shot (80ns, typ.) has timed out and the inductor
current is below the current limit threshold, then the
internal on-time one-shot circuitry is triggered and the
high-side switch is turn-on. Since the minimum off-time
is short, the device exhibits ultrafast transient response
and enables the use of smaller output capacitance.
threshold, the device will be turned on, that is,
switching being enabled and soft-start sequence being
initiated. Do not leave this pin floating.
Soft-Start (SS)
The on-time is inversely proportional to input voltage
and directly proportional to output voltage to achieve
pseudo-fixed frequency over the input voltage range.
After the on-time one-shot timer expired, the high-side
switch is turn-off and the low-side switch is turn-on until
the on-time one-shot is triggered again. In the steady
The RT5760A/B/C/D provides an internal soft-start
feature for inrush control. At power up, the internal
state, the error amplifier compares the feedback
voltage VFB and an internal reference voltage. If the
virtual inductor current ramp voltage is lower than the
output of the error amplifier, a new pre-determined
fixed on-time will be triggered by the on-time one-shot
generator.
to its targeted regulation voltage only after this ramp
voltage is greater than the feedback voltage VFB to
ensure the converters have a smooth start-up from
pre-biased output. The output voltage starts to rise in
0.1ms from EN rising, and the soft-start ramp-up time
(10%VOUT to 90%VOUT) is 0.6ms.
capacitor is charged by an internal current source to
generate a soft-start ramp voltage as a reference
voltage to the PWM comparator. The device will initiate
switching and the output voltage will smoothly ramp up
Power Saving Mode (RT5760A/C)
The RT5760A/C automatically enters power saving
mode (PSM) at light load to maintain high efficiency. As
the load current decreases and eventually the inductor
current ripple valley touches the zero current, which is
the boundary between continuous conduction and
discontinuous conduction modes. The low-side switch
is turned off when the zero inductor current is detected.
As the load current is further decreased, it takes longer
time to discharge the output capacitor to the level that
requires the next on-time. The switching frequency
decreases and is proportional to the load current to
maintain high efficiency at light load.

RT5760A/B/C/D starts to enable skip off time function
and keeps high-side MOSFET switch on continuously.
The RT5760A/B/C/D implements skip off time function
to achieve high duty approaching 100%. Therefore, the
maximum output voltage is near the minimum input
supply voltage of the application. The input voltage at
which the devices enter dropout changes depending on
the input voltage, output voltage, switching frequency,
load current, and the efficiency of the design.
Power Good Indication (RT5760A/B)
The RT5760A/B features an open-drain power-good
output (PGOOD) to monitor the output voltage status.
The output delay of comparator prevents false flag
operation for short excursions in the output voltage,
such as during line and load transients. Pull-up
PGOOD with a resistor to VOUT or an external voltage
below 6V. When VIN voltage rises above VUVLO, the
power-good function is activated. After soft start is
finished, the PGOOD pin is controlled by a comparator
connected to the feedback signal VFB. If VFB rises
above a power-good high threshold (VTH_PGLH)
(typically 90% of the reference voltage), the PGOOD
pin will be in high impedance and VPG will be held high.
When VFB falls short of power-good low threshold
(VTH_PGHL) (typically 85% of the reference voltage), the
PGOOD pin will be pulled low after a certain delay
(60s, typically) elapsed. Once being started-up, if any
internal protection is triggered, PGOOD will be pulled
low to GND. The internal open-drain pull-down device
(10, typically) will pull the PGOOD pin low. The power
good indication profile is shown below.

Input Under-Voltage Lockout
In addition to the EN pin, the RT5760A/B/C/D also
provides enable control through the VIN pin. If VEN
rises above VEN_H first, switching will still be inhibited
until the VIN voltage rises above VUVLO. It is to ensure
that the internal regulator is ready so that operation
with not-fully-enhanced internal MOSFET switches can
be prevented. After the device is powered up, if the
input voltage VIN goes below the UVLO falling
threshold voltage (VUVLO VUVLO), this switching will
be inhibited; if VIN rises above the UVLO rising
threshold (VUVLO), the device will resume normal
operation with a complete soft-start.
The Over-Current Protection
The

features
cycle-by-cycle
current-limit protection on both the high-side and
low-side MOSFETs and prevents the device from the
catastrophic damage in output short circuit, over
current or inductor saturation.
The high-side MOSFET over-current protection is
achieved by an internal current comparator that
monitors the current in the high-side MOSFET during
each on-time. The switch current is compared with the
high-side switch peak-current limit (ILIM_H) after a
certain amount of delay when the high-side switch
being turned on each cycle. If an over-current condition
occurs, the converter will immediately turns off the
high-side switch and turns on the low-side switch to
prevent the inductor current exceeding the high-side
current limit.
The low-side MOSFET over-current protection is

achieved by measuring the inductor current through the
synchronous rectifier (low-side switch) during the
low-side on-time. Once the current rises above the
low-side switch valley current limit (ILIM_L), the on-time
one-shot will be inhibited until the inductor current

During hiccup mode, the IC will shut down for

automatically for tHICCUP_ON (1.2ms). Upon completion
of the soft-start sequence, if the fault condition is
removed, the converter will resume normal operation;
otherwise, such cycle for auto-recovery will be
repeated until the fault condition is cleared. Hiccup
mode allows the circuit to operate safely with low input
current and power dissipation, and then resume normal
operation as soon as the over-load or short-circuit
condition is removed. A short circuit protection and
recovery profile is shown below.

Time (2ms/Div)
When the RT5760A/B/C/D is disabled by EN pin,
UVLO or OTP, the device discharges the output
capacitors (via SW pins) through an internal discharge
resistor (150) connected to ground. This function
prevents the reverse current flow from the output
capacitors to the input capacitors once the input
voltage collapses. It doesn’t need to rely on another
active discharge circuit for discharging output
capacitors. This function will be turned off when the
fault condition is removed.
Hiccup-Mode Output Under-Voltage Protection
The RT5760A/B/C/D includes output under-voltage
protection (UVP) against over-load or short-circuited
condition by constantly monitoring the feedback
voltage VFB. If VFB drops below the under-voltage
protection trip threshold (typically 50% of the internal
feedback reference voltage), the UV comparator will go
high to turn off both the internal high-side and low-side
MOSFET switches. The RT5760A/B/C/D will enter

Thermal Shutdown
The RT5760A/B/C/D includes an over-temperature
protection (OTP) circuitry to prevent overheating due to
excessive power dissipation. The OTP will shut down
switching operation when junction temperature
exceeds a thermal shutdown threshold (TSD). Once the
junction temperature cools down by a thermal
shutdown hysteresis (TSD), the IC will resume normal
operation with a complete soft-start.
Note that the over temperature protection is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload
conditions. The protection is activated outside of the
absolute maximum range of operation as a secondary
fail-safe and therefore should not be relied upon
operationally. Continuous operation above the
specified absolute maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability or

permanently damage the device.
Negative Over-Current Limit (RT5760B/D)
The RT5760B/D is the part which is forced to PWM and
allows negative current operation. In case of PWM
operation, high negative current may be generated as
an external power source which is tied to output
terminal unexpectedly. As the risk described above, the
internal circuit monitors negative current in each
on-time interval of low-side MOSFET and compares it
with NOC threshold. Once the negative current
exceeds the NOC threshold, the low-side MOSFET is
turned off immediately, and then the high-side
MOSFET will be turned on to discharge the energy of
output inductor. This behavior can keep the valley of
negative current at NOC threshold to protect low-side
MOSFET. However, the negative current can’t be
limited at NOC threshold anymore since minimum
off-time is reached.

Application Information
The output stage of a synchronous buck converter is
composed of an inductor and capacitor, which stores
and delivers energy to the load, and forms a
second-order low-pass filter to smooth out the switch
node voltage to maintain a regulated output voltage.
Inductor Selection
The inductor selection trade-offs among size, cost,
efficiency, and transient response requirements.
Generally, three key inductor parameters are specified
for operation with the device: inductance value (L),
inductor saturation current (ISAT), and DC resistance
(DCR).
A good compromise between size and loss is to choose
the peak-to-peak ripple current equals to 20% to 50%
of the IC rated current. The switching frequency, input
voltage, output voltage, and selected inductor ripple
current determines the inductor value as follows :
L=
VOUT VIN VOUT
VIN fSW IL
Once an inductor value is chosen, the ripple current
(IL) is calculated to determine the required peak
inductor current.
IL =
VOUT VIN VOUT
I
and IL(PEAK) = IOUT(MAX) L
VIN fSW L
2
IL(PEAK) should not exceed the minimum value of IC's
calculated inductance value is :
L
1.2 5 1.2
1μH
5 2.2MHz 0.4A
For the typical application, a standard inductance value
of 1H can be selected.
IL =
1.2 5 1.2
= 0.41A (41% of the IC rated current)
5 2.2MHz 1μH
and IL(PEAK) = 1A + 0.41A = 1.205A
2
For the 1H value, the inductor's saturation and
thermal rating should exceed at least 1.205A. For more
conservative, the rating for inductor saturation current
must be equal to or greater than switch current limit of
the device rather than the inductor peak current.
For EMI sensitive application, choosing shielding type
inductor is preferred.
Input Capacitor Selection
Input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the pulsating
current at the drain of the high-side power MOSFET.
CIN should be sized to do this without causing a large
variation in input voltage. The waveform of CIN ripple
voltage and ripple current are shown in Figure 5. The
peak-to-peak voltage ripple on input capacitor can be
estimated as equation below :
through the inductor is the inductor ripple current plus

Where
upper current limit level. Besides, the current flowing
load conditions, the inductor current can increase above
the calculated peak inductor current level calculated
above. In transient conditions, the inductor current can
increase up to the switch current limit of the device. For
this reason, the most conservative approach is to
specify an inductor with a saturation current rating equal
to or greater than the switch current limit rather than the
peak inductor current.
Considering the Typical Application Circuit for 1.2V
output at 1A and an input voltage of 5V, using an
inductor ripple of 0.4A (40% of the IC rated current), the

In addition, the input capacitor needs to have a very

IRMS IOUT_MAX

VIN
VOUT
It is commonly to use the worse IRMS IOUT/2 at VIN =
2VOUT for design. Note that ripple current ratings from
capacitor manufacturers are often based on only 2000
hours of life which makes it advisable to further de-rate
the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher
temperature than required.
Several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet size,
height and thermal requirements in the design. For low
input voltage applications, sufficient bulk input
capacitance is needed to minimize transient effects
during output load changes.
Ceramic capacitors are ideal for switching regulator
applications due to its small, robust and very low ESR.
However, care must be taken when these capacitors
are used at the input. A ceramic input capacitor
combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high
quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the
RT5760A/B/C/D circuit is plugged into a live supply, the
input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value,
possibly exceeding the device’s rating. This situation is
easily avoided by placing the low ESR ceramic input
capacitor in parallel with a bulk capacitor with higher
ESR to damp the voltage ringing.
The input capacitor should be placed as close as
possible to the VIN pins, with a low inductance
connection to the GND of the IC. In addition to a larger
bulk capacitor, a small ceramic capacitors of 0.1F
should be placed close to the VIN and GND pin. This

Output Capacitor Selection
The RT5760A/B/C/D are optimized for ceramic output
capacitors and best performance will be obtained using
them. The total output capacitance value is usually
determined by the desired output voltage ripple level and
transient response requirements for sag (undershoot on
load apply) and soar (overshoot on load release).
Output Ripple
The output voltage ripple at the switching frequency is
a function of the inductor current ripple going through
the output capacitor’s impedance. To derive the output
voltage ripple, the output capacitor with capacitance,
COUT, and its equivalent series resistance, RESR, must
be taken into consideration. The output peak-to-peak
ripple voltage VRIPPLE, caused by the inductor current
ripple IL, is characterized by two components, which
are ESR ripple VRIPPLE(ESR) and capacitive ripple
VRIPPLE(C), can be expressed as below :
VRIPPLE = VRIPPLE(ESR) VRIPPLE(C)
VRIPPLE(ESR) = IL RESR
VRIPPLE(C) =
IL
8 COUT fSW
If ceramic capacitors are used as the output capacitors,
both the components need to be considered due to the
extremely low ESR and relatively small capacitance.
For the RT5760A/B/C/D’s Typical Application Circuit for
output voltage of 1.2V, and actual inductor current
ripple (IL) of 0.41A, taking a 10F ceramic capacitors
of GRM188R60J106ME84 from Murata as example,
the output ripple of the output capacitor is as below :
The ripple caused by the ESR of about 5m can be
calculated as
VRIPPLEESR = 0.41A 5m = 2.05mV
Due to DC bias capacitance degrading, the effective
capacitance at output voltage of 1.2V is about 8F
0.41A

Output Transient Undershoot and Overshoot
In addition to voltage ripple at the switching frequency,
the output capacitor and its ESR also affect the voltage
sag (undershoot) and soar (overshoot) when the load
steps up and down abruptly. The ACOT® transient
response is very quick and output transients are
usually small. The following section shows how to
calculate the worst-case voltage swings in response to
load step, the output capacitor value, the inductor value
and the output voltage :

Due to some modern digital loads can exhibit nearly

very fast load steps.
Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage transient undershoot and overshoot
each have two components : the voltage steps caused
by the output capacitor's ESR, and the voltage sag and
soar due to the finite output capacitance and the
inductor current slew rate. Use the following formulas
to check if the ESR is low enough (typically not a
problem with ceramic capacitors) and the output
capacitance is large enough to prevent excessive sag
and soar on very fast load step edges, with the chosen

EN Pin for Start-Up and Shutdown Operation
For automatic start-up, the EN pin can be connected to
the input supply VIN directly. The large built-in
hysteresis band makes the EN pin useful for simple
delay and timing circuits. The EN pin can be externally
connected to VIN by adding a resistor REN and a
capacitor CEN, as shown in Figure 7, to have an
additional delay. The time delay can be calculated with
the EN's internal threshold, at which switching
operation begins (typically 0.82V).
An external MOSFET can be added for the EN pin to
be logic-controlled, as shown in Figure 8. In this case, a
pull-up resistor, REN, is connected between VIN and
the EN pin. The MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control
to pull down the EN pin. To prevent the device being
enabled when VIN is smaller than the VOUT target
level or some other desired voltage level, a resistive
divider (REN1 and REN2) can be used to externally set
