RT9027A/B
Linear Fan Driver
General Description
Features
The RT9027A/B is a high performance positive voltage
regulator designed for very low dropout voltage up to 0.5
Amps. The VSET voltage must be larger than 1V to guarantee
that VOUT is 1.6 times of VSET. When VSET is less than 1V,
the IC will be shutdown. The FON pin turns VOUT to fullyon when FON is given low. For RT9027B (EN version),
FON pin is equivalent to EN pin. The RT9027A/B provides
excellent regulation over variations in line, load and
temperature. The RT9027A/B is available in the SOP-8
package.

Application Information
Output Voltage Setting
Thermal Shutdown Protection
The output voltage of RT9027AB is adjustable from 1.6V
to VIN by VSET voltage. It is set by internal voltage divider
resisters shown in function block diagram. The VOUT
voltage level is set as 1.6 times of VSET voltage level
when VSET is higher than 1V. When VSET is less than
0.8V, the IC will be shutdown.
RT9027AB over temperature protection function limits
power dissipation to prevent this die from over temperature
damage. When the RT9027B operation junction
temperature exceeds 140°C, the over temperature
protection circuit starts the thermal shutdown function
and turns the pass transistor off. The pass transistor turns
on again after the junction temperature cools by 30°C.
For RT9027A, it lowers its OTP trip level to 110°C. It limits
IC case temperature under 100°C and provides maximum
safety to customer while output short circuit occurring.
Fully Turn On and Enable Logic Function
For RT9027A, pin1 named FON features fully turn on
function. When the FON pin is in logic low level, the IC
goes into fully turn on mode. During this condition, the
pass transistor will be fully turned on. The FON pin is
pulled to high level internally. For the enable function, it is
acceptable to use the VSET pin to control the IC. When
the VSET pin is in logic low level (
