RP505K Series
1A Step-down DC/DC Converters with Synchronous Rectifier
NO.EA-273-150317
OUTLINE
The RP505K Series are low supply current CMOS-based 1A*1 step-down DC/DC Converters with synchronous
rectifier. Each of these ICs consists of an oscillator, a reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, a switching control
circuit, a mode control circuit, a soft-start circuit, a latch type protection circuit, an under voltage lock out (UVLO)
circuit, a thermal shutdown circuit, and a switching transistors. A low ripple, high efficiency synchronous rectifier
step-down DC/DC converter can be easily composed of this IC with only an inductor and capacitors. Since the
package is DFN(PLP)2020-8, high density mounting on boards is possible.
In the RP505K series, as for the A version and B version, since feedback resistors are built-in, the voltage is
fixed internally. 0.1V step output can be set by laser-trim and ±1.5%(VOUT≥1.2V) or 18mV(VOUT300mA
