General Description
The RT9201 is a high-efficiency pulse-width-modulated
(PWM) step-down DC-DC converter. Capable of delivering
600mA output current over a wide input voltage range
from 2.5 to 5.5V, the RT9201 is ideally suited for portable
electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell Li-ion
battery or from other power sources within the range such
as cellular phones, PDAs and handy-terminals.
Four operational modes are available: PWM, PSM, Low-
Dropout and shut-down modes. Internal synchronous
rectifier with low R
DS(ON)
dramatically reduces conduction
loss at PWM mode. No external Schottky diode is
required in practical application. The RT9201 auto-
matically turns off the synchronous rectifier while the
inductor current is low and enters discontinuous PWM
mode. This can increase efficiency at light load condition.
The RT9201 enters PSM (pulse-skipping mode) at
extremely light load condition. The equivalent switching
frequency is reduced to increase the efficiency in PSM.
The RT9201 enters Low-Dropout mode when normal
PWM cannot provide regulated output voltage by
continuously turning on the upper P-MOSFET. RT9201
enters shut-down mode and consumes less than 0.1
μ
A
when EN pin is pulled low.
The switching ripple is easily smoothed-out by small
package filtering elements due to a fixed operation
frequency of 800kHz. This along with small VDFN package
provides small PCB area application. Other features
include soft start, 0.8V internal reference voltage with
1% accuracy, over temperature protection, and over
current protection.
