® RT6224C 3A, 18V, 1.4MHz ACOTTM Synchronous Step-Down Converter General Description Features The RT6224C is a high-efficiency, monolithic synchronous step-down DC-DC converter that can deliver up to 3A output current from a 4.3V to 18V input supply. The RT6224C adopts ACOT TM architecture to allow the transient  Small Output Voltage at Light Load  response to be improved and keep in constant frequency. Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current surge during start-up.

Using the ACOT control mode can reduce the output capacitance and perform fast transient response. It can minimize the component size without additional external compensation network. Current Protection The inductor current is monitored via the internal switches cycle-by-cycle. Once the output voltage drops under UV threshold, the RT6224C will enter hiccup mode. 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 lockout. Thermal Shutdown 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 autocratically resume switching. Copyright © 2016 Richtek Technology Corporation.

Choose a suitable capacitor value that following below step. For automatic start-up the EN pin can be connected to VIN, through a 100kΩ resistor. Its large hysteresis band makes EN useful for simple delay and timing circuits. EN can be externally pulled to VIN by adding a resistorcapacitor delay (REN and CEN in Figure 2). Calculate the delay time using EN's internal threshold where switching operation begins (1.5V, typical).  Get the BW the quickest method to do transient response form no load to full load. Confirm the damping frequency. The damping frequency is BW. An external MOSFET can be added to implement digital control of EN when no system voltage above 2V is available (Figure 3). In this case, a 100kΩ pull-up resistor, REN, is connected between VIN and the EN pin. MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control to pull down the EN pin. To prevent enabling circuit when VIN is smaller than the VOUT target value or some other desired voltage level, a resistive voltage divider can be placed between the input voltage and ground and connected to EN to create an additional input under voltage lockout threshold (Figure 4).

The output voltage is set according to the following equation : VOUT = 0.6 x (1 + R1 / R2) between BOOT and the external bootstrap capacitor. This will slow the high-side switch turn-on and VSW's rise. To remove the resistor from the capacitor charging path (avoiding poor enhancement due to undercharging the BOOT capacitor), use the external diode shown in Figure 6 to charge the BOOT capacitor and place the resistance between BOOT and the capacitor/diode connection. VOUT 5V R1 FB RT6224C BOOT R2 RT6224C GND Figure 5. Output Voltage Setting Place the FB resistors within 5mm of the FB pin. Choose R2 between 10kΩ and 100kΩ to minimize power consumption without excessive noise pick-up and calculate R1 as follows : R1  R2  (VOUT  0.6) 0.6 For output voltage accuracy, use divider resistors with 1% or better tolerance. External BOOT Bootstrap Diode When the input voltage is lower than 5.5V it is recommended to add an external bootstrap diode between VIN (or VINR) and the BOOT pin to improve enhancement of the internal MOSFET switch and improve efficiency. The bootstrap diode can be a low cost one such as 1N4148 or BAT54. External BOOT Capacitor Series Resistance The internal power MOSFET switch gate driver is optimized to turn the switch on fast enough for low power loss and good efficiency, but also slow enough to reduce EMI. Switch turn-on is when most EMI occurs since VSW rises rapidly. During switch turn-off, SW is discharged relatively slowly by the inductor current during the deadtime between high-side and low-side switch on-times. In some cases it is desirable to reduce EMI further, at the expense of some additional power dissipation. The switch turn-on can be slowed by placing a small (
