RT6206A
5.5A, 18V, 650kHz, ACOTTM Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
The RT6206A is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter
with Advanced Constant On-Time (ACOTTM) mode control.
It achieves high power density to deliver up to 5.5A output
current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The proprietary
ACOTTM mode offers an optimal transient response over a
wide range of loads and all kinds of ceramic capacitors,
which allows the device to adopt very low ESR output
capacitor for ensuring performance stabilization. In
addition, RT6206A keeps an excellent constant switching
frequency under line and load variation and the integrated
synchronous power switches with the ACOTTM mode
operation provides high efficiency in whole output current
load range. Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides an
accurate protection by a valley detection of low side
MOSFET and external soft-start setting eliminates input
current surge during startup. Protection functions include
thermal shutdown for RT6206A.
The RT6206A are available in the TSSOP-14 (Exposed
pad), SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) and WDFN-10L 3x3
packages.

Operation
The RT6206A is a synchronous step-down converter with
advanced constant on-time control mode. Using the
ACOTTM control mode can reduce the output capacitance
and provide fast transient response. It can minimize the
component size without additional external compensation
network.
UVLO Protection
To protect the chip from operating at insufficient supply
voltage, the UVLO is needed. When the input voltage of
VIN is lower than the UVLO falling threshold voltage, the
device will be latch-off.
Thermal Shutdown
Internal Regulator
The regulator provides 5V power to supply the internal
control circuit. Connecting a 1μF ceramic capacitor for
decoupling and stability is required.
Soft-Start
In order to prevent the converter output voltage from
overshooting during the startup period, the soft-start
function is necessary. The soft-start time is adjustable
and can be set by an external capacitor.

When the junction temperature exceeds the OTP
threshold value, the IC will shut down the switching
operation. Once the junction temperature cools down and
is lower than the OTP lower threshold, the converter will
automatically resume switching
Power Good (for TSSOP-14 (Exposed Pad) and
WDFN-10L 3x3 only)
After soft-start is finished, the power good function will be
activated. When the FB is activated, the PGOOD will
become an open-drain output. If the FB is below, the
PGOOD pin will be pulled low.

RT6206A
Application Information
The RT6206A is a synchronous high voltage Buck converter
that can support the input voltage range from 4.5V to 18V
and the output current up to 5.5A. It adopts ACOTTM mode
control to provide a very fast transient response with few
external compensation components.
on the device again. For external timing control, the EN
pin can also be externally pulled high by adding a REN
resistor and CEN capacitor from the VIN pin (see Figure 1).
EN
VIN
PWM Operation
It is suitable for low external component count
configuration with appropriate amount of Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR) capacitors at the output. The output
ripple valley voltage is monitored at a feedback point
voltage. The synchronous high side MOSFET is turned
on at the beginning of each cycle. After the internal
on-time expires, the MOSFET is turned off. The pulse
width of this on-time is determined by the converter's input
and output voltages to keep the frequency fairly constant
over the entire input voltage range.
RT6206A
GND
Figure 1. External Timing Control
An external MOSFET can be added to implement digital
control on the EN pin when no system voltage above 2V
is available, as shown in Figure 2. In this case, a 100kΩ
pull-up resistor, REN, is connected between the VIN and
EN pins. MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control to pull
down the EN pin.

Soft-Start
The RT6206A contains an external soft-start clamp that
gradually raises the output voltage. The soft-start timing
can be programmed by the external capacitor between
the SS and GND pins. The chip provides a 6μA charge
current for the external capacitor. If a 3.9nF capacitor is
used, the soft-start will be 0.87ms (typ.). The available
capacitance range is from 2.7nF to 220nF.
