RT7235/36/39/40
5A, 18V, 650kHz, ACOTTM Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
The RT7235/36/39/40 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 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, RT7235/36/39/40 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 RT7235/36/39/40, output Under
Voltage Protection (UVP) / Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
for RT7235/36. When the UVP/OVP is triggered, the device
will enter latch mode for TSSOP-14 (Exposed Pad), and
hiccup mode for WDFN-10L 3x3.

The RT7235/36 are available in TSSOP-14 (Exposed Pad)
and WDFN-10L 3x3 packages, and the RT7235 is operated

Operation
The RT7235/36/39/40 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.
Current Protection
The inductor current is monitored via the internal switches
in cycle-by-cycle. Once the output voltage drops under
UV threshold, the device will enter latch mode for TSSOP14 (Exposed Pad), and hiccup mode for WDFN-10L 3x3.
UVLO Protection
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.
To protect the chip from operating at insufficient supply
voltage, the UVLO is needed. When the input voltage of
VCC is lower than the UVLO falling threshold voltage, the
device will be latch-off.
Output Discharge Control
(for TSSOP-14 (Exposed Pad) only)
Internal Regulator
The regulator provides 5V power to supply the internal
control circuit. Connecting a 1µF ceramic capacitor for
decoupling and stability is required.
When EN pin is low, the RT7235/36 will discharge the
output with an internal 50Ω MOSFET connected between
VOUT to GND pin.
Thermal Shutdown
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

Application Information
The RT7235/36/39/40 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 5A. It adopts
ACOTTM mode control to provide a very fast transient
response with few external compensation components.
the EN pin can also be externally pulled high by adding a
REN resistor and CEN capacitor from the VIN pin (see Figure
1).

PWM Operation
Advanced Constant On-Time Control
The RT7235/36/39/40 has a unique circuit which sets the
on-time by monitoring the input voltage and SW signal.
The circuit ensures the switching frequency operating at
650kHz over input voltage range and loading range.
Soft-Start
The RT7235/36/39/40 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.

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.
