RT8012A
Dual 1A/1.5A-1.2MHz Synchronous Step-Down Converters
General Description
Features
The RT8012A is a dual PWM, current mode, stepdown
converter. Its input voltage range is from 2.6V to 5.5V and
has a constant 1.2MHz switching frequency, allowing the
use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or
less in height. Each output voltage is adjustable from 0.8V
to 5V. Internal power switches with low on-resistance of
the dual step-down regulators increase efficiency and
eliminate the need for external Schottky diodes. The
RT8012A can run at 100% duty cycle for low dropout
operation that extends battery life in portable systems.
With independent Enable and Power Good pins, it is easy
to control the power up sequence of the two converters,
which is important in some applications.

Pin Function
Power Good Indicator of Regulator 2. Open-drain logic output that is opened
when the output voltage exceeds 90% of the regulation point.
Power Input Supply of Regulator 2. Decouple this pin to PGND with a capacitor.
Power Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and
connected to PGND for maximum power dissipation.
Internal Power MOSFET Switches Output of Regulator 2. Connect this pin to the
inductor.
Internal Power MOSFET Switches Output of Regulator 1. Connect this pin to the
inductor.
Power Input Supply of Regulator 1. Decouple this pin to PGND with a capacitor.
Signal Input Supply. Decouple this pin to GND with a capacitor. Normally V DD is
equal to PVDD1 and PVDD2. Keep the voltage difference between VDD, PVDD1
and PVDD2 less than 0.5V.
Regulator 1 Chip Enable. A logic high level at this pin enables Regulator 1, while
a logic low level causes Regulator 1 to shut down.
Feedback Pin of Regulator 1. Receives the feedback voltage from a resistive
divider connected across the output.
Power Good Indicator of Regulator 1. Open-drain logic output that is opened
when the output voltage exceeds 90% of the regulation point.
Signal Ground. Return the feedback resistive dividers to this ground, which in
turn connects to PGND at one point.
Regulator 2 Chip Enable. A logical high level at this pin enables regulator 2, while
a logic low level causes Regulator 2 to shut down. A 1μA pull up current from VDD

EN2
will be injected to EN2 pin when Regulator 1 is ready (VFB1 exceeds 90% of
regulation point). Tie this pin to PGOOD1 and add a capacitor between this pin
and GND will introduce a delay time before enabling Regulator 2. The delay time
can be adjusted by different capacitance.

Feedback Pin of Regulator 2. Receives the feedback voltage from a resistive

Note 1. Stresses beyond those listed “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may
affect device reliability.
Note 2. θJA is measured at TA = 25°C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board per JEDEC 51-7. θJC is
measured at the exposed pad of the package.
Note 3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
Note 5. EN2 pull-up current only is activated when Regulator-1 is ready (VFB1 > 0.72V). No pull-up current (
