General Description
The RT7277 is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter
with Advanced Constant On-Time (ACOT
TM
) mode control.
It achieves high power density to deliver up to 3A output
current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The proprietary
ACOT
TM
mode offers an optimal transient response over a
wide range of loads and all kinds of ceramic capacitors,
which allows the device to adopt very low ESR output
capacitors for ensuring performance stabilization. In
addition, RT7277 keeps an excellent constant switching
frequency under line and load variation and the integrated
synchronous power switches with the ACOT
TM
mode
operation provides high efficiency in whole output current
load range. Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides an
accurate protection by a valley detection of low side
MOSFET and external soft-start setting eliminates input
current surge during startup. Protection functions also
include output under voltage protection, output over voltage
protection, and thermal shutdown.
