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 (JA). Regarding the supply voltage capacitor, connecting a capacitor which is 1F 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 100F 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 100F 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 100k 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 5A(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 = 150m, the MOSFET's RON must be lower than 150m. Philip PHD3055E MOSFET with an RDS(ON) of 120m(typ.) is a suitable solution. The power dissipation is calculate as : PD = (VIN - VOUT) x ILOAD The thermal resistance from junction to ambient (JA) is : (JA) = (TJ - TA ) PD In this example, PD = (1.5V - 1.2V) x 2A = 0.6W. The PHD3055E's (JA) is 75C/W for its D-PAK package, which translates to a 45C 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 (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. www.richtek.com 7 RT9024 Sink Current vs.vs. DRIDRI Voltage DRI Sink Current Voltage 25 VIN 20 PGOOD VCC GND Chip Enable EN Q1 DRI Ccc PGOOD RT9024 Sink Current (mA) VCC CIN RPGOOD VOUT FB R1 Q2 COUT 15 10 5 R2 TA = 25C 0 0 Figure 3 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 DRI Voltage (V) Figure 4 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.
