Pin Function
Power Input. VIN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the
step-down converter switches. Drive VIN with a 4.5V to 21V
power source. Bypass VIN to GND with a suitably large
capacitor to eliminate noise on the input to the IC.
Switch Node. SW is the switching node that supplies power to
the output. Connect the output LC filter from SW to the output
load. Note that a capacitor is required from SW to BOOT to
power the high side switch.
BOOT
Bootstrap for High Side Gate Driver. Connect a 100nF or greater
capacitor from SW to BOOT to power the high side switch driver.

RT7263A
Operation
The RT7263A is a constant frequency, current mode
synchronous 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 high side
N-MOSFET is turned off, the low side N-MOSFET is turned
on to conduct the inductor current until next cycle begins.
Error Amplifier
The error amplifier adjusts its output voltage by comparing
the feedback signal (VFB) with the internal 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.
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 4ms.
UV Comparator
If the feedback voltage (VFB) is lower than 0.4V, the UV
Comparator will go high to turn off the high side MOSFET.
The output under voltage protection is designed to operate
in Hiccup mode. When the UV condition is removed, the
converter will resume switching.
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.
Enable
The converter is turned on when the EN pin is higher than
2V. When the EN pin is lower than 0.4V, the converter will
enter shutdown mode and reduce the supply current to
be less than 1μA.

RT7263A
Application Information
The IC is a synchronous high voltage step-down converter
that can support the input voltage range from 4.5V to 21V
and the output current can be up to 3A.
Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage is set by an external resistive divider
according to the following equation :
VOUT = VFB ⎛⎜ 1+ R1 ⎞⎟
⎝ R2 ⎠
where VFB is the feedback reference voltage 0.808V (typ.).
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense a fraction
of the output voltage as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Output Voltage Setting
Soft-Start for WDFN-14L Package
The RT7263AZQW (WDFN-14L package) contains an
external soft-start clamp that gradually raises the output
voltage. The soft-start timing is programmed by the external
capacitor between SS pin and GND. The chip provides an
internal 10μA charge current for the external capacitor. If
47nF capacitor is used to set the soft-start, the period will
be 4.7ms (typ.).
Soft-Start for SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) Package
The RT7263AZSP (SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package)
contains an internal soft-start function to prevent large
inrush current and output voltage overshoot when the
converter starts up. Soft-start automatically begins once
the chip is enabled. During soft-start, the internal softstart capacitor becomes charged and generates a linear
ramping up voltage across the capacitor. This voltage
clamps the voltage at the internal reference, causing the
duty pulse width to increase slowly and in turn reduce the
output surge current. The typical soft-start time for this IC
is set at 2ms.
External Bootstrap Diode
Connect a 100nF low ESR ceramic capacitor between
the BOOT pin and SW pin as shown in Figure 2. This
capacitor provides the gate driver voltage for the high side
MOSFET. It is recommended to add an external bootstrap
diode between an external 5V and BOOT pin for efficiency
improvement when input voltage is lower than 5.5V or duty
ratio is higher than 65% .The bootstrap diode can be a
low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54. The external 5V
can be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output of the
IC. Note that the external boot voltage must be lower than
5.5V.

Under Voltage Lockout Threshold
The IC includes an input Under Voltage Lockout Protection
(UVLO). If the input voltage exceeds the UVLO rising
threshold voltage (4.2V), the converter resets and prepares
the PWM for operation. If the input voltage falls below the
UVLO falling threshold voltage (3.8V) during normal
operation, the device stops switching. The UVLO rising
and falling threshold voltage includes a hysteresis to
prevent noise caused reset.
Chip Enable Operation
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (2V). If the EN pin is
pulled to low-level for 10μs above, the IC will shut down.
The RT7263A can be synchronized with an external clock
ranging from 300kHz to 2MHz applied to the EN/SYNC
pin. The external clock duty cycle must be from 30% to
90%.

Figure 4. Digital Enable Control Circuit
The chip starts to operate when VIN rises to 4.2V (UVLO
threshold). During the VIN rising period, if an 8V output
voltage is set, VIN is lower than the VOUT target value and
it may cause the chip to shut down. To prevent this
situation, a resistive voltage divider can be placed between
the input voltage and ground and connected to the EN pin
to adjust enable threshold, as shown in Figure 5. For
example, the setting VOUT is 8V and VIN is from 0V to
12V, when VIN is higher than 10V, the chip is triggered to
enable the converter. Assume REN1 = 50kΩ. Then,
(REN1 x VIH(MIN) )
REN2 =
(VIN_S − VIH(MIN) )
where VIH(MIN) is the minimum threshold of enable rising

Power Good Output
The power good output is an open-drain output and requires
a pull up resistor. When the output voltage is lower than
70% of its set voltage, PGOOD will be pulled low. It is
held low until the output voltage returns to within the allowed
tolerances once more. During soft-start, PGOOD is actively
held low and only allowed to transition high after soft-start
is over and the output voltage has reached 90% of its set
voltage.

Figure 6 shows the synchronization operation in startup
period. When the EN/SYNC is triggered by an external
clock, the RT7263A enters soft-start phase and the output
voltage starts to rise. During the soft-start phase region,
the oscillation frequency will be proportional to the feedback
voltage until it is higher than 0.7V. With higher VFB, the
switching frequency is relatively higher. After startup period
about 2ms, the IC operates with the same frequency as
the external clock.
For the IC, Hiccup Mode of Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
is provided. When the FB voltage drops below half of the
feedback reference voltage, VFB, the UVP function will be
triggered and the IC will shut down for a period of time and
then recover automatically. The Hiccup Mode of UVP can
reduce input current in short-circuit conditions.

Inductor Selection
For a given input and output voltage, the inductor value
and operating frequency determine the ripple current. The
ripple current ΔIL increases with higher VIN and decreases
with higher inductance.

Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR
losses in the output capacitors but also the output voltage
ripple. Highest efficiency operation is achieved by reducing
ripple current at low frequency, but it requires a large
inductor to attain this goal.
For the ripple current selection, the value of ΔIL = 0.24(IMAX)
will be a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple current
occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple
current stays below a specified maximum, the inductor
value should be chosen according to the following
equation :

Input and Output Capacitors Selection
The input capacitance, C IN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidal current at the source of the high side MOSFET.
To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input capacitor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The
RMS current is given by :

This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS =

used for design because even significant deviations do
not offer much relief.

The selection of COUT is determined by the required ESR
to minimize voltage ripple.
Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key
for COUT selection to ensure that the control loop is stable.
Loop stability can be checked by viewing the load transient
response.

The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 7 allow the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1
for switching regulator applications. However, care must
be taken when these capacitors are used at input and
output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input
and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long
wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the
input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output
and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden
inrush of current through the long wires can potentially
cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the
part.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent the chip from
operating at excessively high temperatures. When the
junction temperature is higher than 150°C, the chip is
shut down the switching operation. The chip is
automatically re-enabled when the junction temperature
cools down by approximately 30°C.

Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
WDFN-14L 4x3 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
60°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test
board. For SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package, the thermal
resistance, θJA, is 75°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7
four-layer thermal test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by the following
formulas :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (60°C/W) = 1.667W for

Layout Considerations
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance
of the IC.
`
Keep the traces of the main current paths as short and
wide as possible.
`
Put the input capacitor as close as possible to the device
pins (VIN and GND).
`
SW node is with high frequency voltage swing and
should be kept at small area. Keep analog components
away from the SW node to prevent stray capacitive noise
pickup.
`
Connect feedback network behind the output capacitors.
Keep the loop area small. Place the feedback
components near the IC.
`
Connect all analog grounds to a common node and then
connect the common node to the power ground behind
the output capacitors.
