Application Information
Capacitors Selection
MOSFET Selection
Careful selection of the external capacitors for RT9024 is
highly recommended in order to remain high stability and
performance.
The RT9024 are designed to driver external N-MOSFET
pass element. MOSFET selection criteria include
threshold voltage VGS (VTH), maximum continuous drain
current ID, on-resistance RDS(ON) ,maximum drain-tosource voltage VDS and package thermal resistance θ(JA).
Regarding the supply voltage capacitor, connecting a
capacitor which is ≥ 1μF between VCC and ground is a
must. The capacitor improves the supply voltage stability
for proper operation.
Regarding the input capacitor, connecting a capacitor which
≥ 100μF between VIN and ground is recommended to
increase stability. With large value of capacitance could
result in better performance for both PSRR and line
transient response.
When driving external pass element, connecting a
capacitor ≥ 100μF between V OUT and ground is
recommended for stability. With larger capacitance can
reduce noise and improve load transient response and
PSRR.
Output Voltage Setting
The RT9024 develops a 0.8V reference voltage; especially
suitable for low voltage application. As shown in application
circuit, the output voltage could easy set the output
voltage by R1 & R2 divider resistor.
Power Good Function
The RT9024 has the power good function with delay. The
power good output is an open drain output. Connect a
100kΩ pull up resistor to VOUT to obtain an output voltage.
When the output voltage arrives 90% of normal value.
PGOOD will become active and be pulled high by external
circuits with typically 3ms delay.
Chip Enable Operation
Pull the EN pin low to drive the device into shutdown mode.
During shutdown mode, the standby current drops to
5μA(MAX). The external capacitor and load current determine
the output voltage decay rate. Drive the EN pin high to
turn on the device again.
DS9024-03 April 2011
The most critical specification is the MOSFET RDS(ON).
Calculate the required RDS(ON) from the following formula:
N − MOSFET RDS(ON) =
VIN - VOUT
ILOAD
For example, the MOSFET operate up to 2A when the
input voltage is 1.5V and set the output voltage is 1.2V,
R ON = (1.5V-1.2V) / 2A = 150mΩ, the MOSFET's
RON must be lower than 150mΩ. Philip PHD3055E
MOSFET with an RDS(ON) of 120mΩ(typ.) is a suitable
solution.
The power dissipation is calculate as :
PD = (VIN − VOUT) x ILOAD
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient θ(JA) is :
θ (JA) =
(TJ − TA )
PD
In this example, PD = (1.5V − 1.2V) x 2A = 0.6W. The
PHD3055E's θ(JA) is 75°C/W for its D-PAK package, which
translates to a 45°C temperature rise above ambient. The
package provides exposed backsides that directly transfer
heat to the PCB board.
PNP Transistor Selection
The RT9024 could driver the PNP transistor to sink output
current. PNP transistor selection criteria include DC current
gain hFE, threshold voltage VEB, collector-emitter voltage
VEN, maximum continues collector current IC, package
thermal resistance θ(JA).
For example, the PNP transistor operates sink current up
to 0.5A when the input voltage is 1.5V and set the output
voltage is 1.2V. As show in Figure 3. A KSB772 PNP
transistor, the VEN = 1.2V, VBE = -1V, IC = 0.5A, IB = 0.5/
160 ≥ 3.125mA, when the DRI pin voltage is 0.2V could
sink 6.8mA(MAX) is a close match.

Layout Considerations
There are three critical layout considerations. One is the divider resistors should be located to RT9024 as possible to
avoid inducing any noise. The second is capacitors place. The CIN and COUT have to put at near the N-MOSFET for
improve performance. The third is the copper area for pass element. We have to consider when the pass element
operating under high power situation that could rise the junction temperature. In addition to the package thermal resistance
limit, we could add the copper area to improve the power dissipation. As show in Figure 5 and Figure 6.
