RT8075
Dual 1A, 1.25MHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
The RT8075 is a high efficiency Pulse-Width-Modulated
(PWM) dual step-down DC/DC converter. Capable of
delivering up to 1A output current over a wide input voltage
range from 2.5V to 5.5V, the RT8075 is ideally suited for
portable electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell
Li-ion battery or from other power sources such as cellular
phones, PDAs, PC WLAN card and hand-held devices.
z
Three operating modes are available including : PWM
mode, Low Dropout Mode and shut-down mode. The
Internal synchronous rectifier with low RDS(ON) dramatically
reduces conduction loss at PWM mode. No external
Schottky diode is required in practical application. The
RT8075 enters Low Dropout mode when normal PWM
cannot provide regulated output voltage by continuously
turning on the upper P-MOSFET. The RT8075 enters shutdown mode and consumes less than 0.1μA when the EN
pin is pulled low.
The switching ripple is easily smoothed-out by small
package filtering elements due to the fixed operating
frequency of 1.25MHz. The RT8075 is available in the
WDFN-10L 3x3 package.

Applications Information
The basic RT8075 application circuit is shown in Typical
Application Circuit. External component selection is
determined by the maximum load current and begins with
the selection of the inductor value and operating frequency
followed by CIN and COUT.
current is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in
inductor ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple.
Do not allow the core to saturate!
Inductor Selection
Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials
are small and don't radiate energy but generally cost more
than powdered iron core inductors with similar
characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use
mainly depends on the price vs size requirements and
any radiated field/EMI requirements.
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.

⎤ ⎡ V
ΔIL = ⎢ OUT ⎥ x ⎢1− OUT ⎥

L
V
⎣
⎦ ⎣
IN ⎦
Having a lower ripple current reduces the ESR losses in
the output capacitors and the output voltage ripple. Highest
efficiency operation is achieved at low frequency with small
ripple current. This, however, requires a large inductor.
A reasonable starting point for selecting the ripple current
is ΔIL = 0.4(IMAX). 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 :
⎡ VOUT
⎤ ⎡
⎤
V
L= ⎢
⎥ x ⎢1− OUT ⎥
⎣⎢ f x ΔIL(MAX) ⎦⎥ ⎢⎣ VIN(MAX) ⎦⎥
Inductor Core Selection
Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must
be selected. High efficiency converters generally cannot
afford the core loss found in low cost powdered iron cores,
forcing the use of more expensive ferrite or mollypermalloy
cores. Actual core loss is independent of core size for a
fixed inductor value but it is very dependent on the
inductance selected. As the inductance increases, core
losses decrease. Unfortunately, increased inductance
requires more turns of wire and therefore copper losses
will increase.
Ferrite designs have very low core losses and are preferred
at high switching frequencies, so design goals can
concentrate on copper loss and preventing saturation.
Ferrite core material saturates “hard”, which means that
inductance collapses abruptly when the peak design
DS8075-04 April 2011
Different core materials and shapes will change the size/
current and price/current relationship of an inductor.
CIN and COUT Selection
The input capacitance, C IN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidal current at the source of the top MOSFET. To
prevent large ripple voltage, a low ESR input capacitor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. RMS
current is given by :
IRMS = IOUT(MAX)
VOUT
VIN
VIN
−1
VOUT
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where
I RMS = I OUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is
commonly used for design because even significant
deviations do not offer much relief. Note that ripple current
ratings from capacitor manufacturers are often based on
only 2000 hours of life which makes it advisable to further
derate the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher
temperature than required. Several capacitors may also
be paralleled to meet size or height requirements in the
design.
The selection of COUT is determined by the Effective Series
Resistance (ESR) that is required to minimize voltage
ripple and load step transients, as well as the amount of
bulk capacitance that is necessary to ensure that the
control loop is stable. Loop stability can be checked by
viewing the load transient response as described in a later
section. The output ripple, ΔVOUT, is determined by :
⎡
1 ⎤
ΔVOUT ≤ ΔIL ⎢ESR +
⎥
8fC
OUT ⎦
⎣
www.richtek.com

RT8075
The output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage
since ΔIL increases with input voltage. Multiple capacitors
placed in parallel may be needed to meet the ESR and
RMS current handling requirements. Dry tantalum, special
polymer, aluminum electrolytic and ceramic capacitors are
all available in surface mount packages. Special polymer
capacitors offer very low ESR but have lower capacitance
density than other types. Tantalum capacitors have the
highest capacitance density but it is important to only
use types that have been surge tested for use in switching
power supplies. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have
significantly higher ESR but can be used in cost-sensitive
applications provided that consideration is given to ripple
current ratings and long term reliability. Ceramic capacitors
have excellent low ESR characteristics but can have a
high voltage coefficient and audible piezoelectric effects.
The high Q of ceramic capacitors with trace inductance
can also lead to significant ringing.
The regulator loop response can be checked by looking
at the load transient response. Switching regulators take
several cycles to respond to a step in load current. When
a load step occurs, VOUT immediately shifts by an amount
equal to ΔILOAD (ESR), where ESR is the effective series
resistance of COUT. ΔILOAD also begins to charge or
discharge COUT generating a feedback error signal used
by the regulator to return VOUT to its steady-state value.
During this recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for
overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability problem.
Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors
Thermal Considerations
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal
for switching regulator applications. However, care must
be taken when these capacitors are used at the 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.
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum operation junction temperature. The maximum
power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of
IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow
and temperature difference between junction to ambient.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
following formula :
Checking Transient Response
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction
temperature, TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is
the junction to ambient thermal resistance.
R1
For recommended operating conditions specification of
the RT8075, The maximum junction temperature is 125°C.
The junction to ambient thermal resistance θJA is layout
dependent. For WDFN-10L 3x3 package, the thermal
resistance θJA is 68°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-7
four layers thermal test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by following
formula :
R2
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (68°C/W) = 1.471W for
WDFN-10L 3x3

The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA. For RT8075 package, the Figure 2 of
derating curve allows the designer to see the effect of
rising ambient temperature on the maximum power
dissipation allowed.
Layout Considerations
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance
of RT8075.
