3A, 24V, 500kHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8299 is a high efficiency , monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter with internal power MOSFETs.
It achieves 3A of continuous output current over a wide
input supply range from 3V to 24V with excellent load and
line regulation. Current mode operation provides fast
transient response and eases loop stabilization. Cycle-
by-cycle current limit provides protection against shorted
outputs and soft-start eliminates input current surge during
start-up. Thermal shutdown provides reliable, fault tolera nt
operation. The low current shutdown mode provides output
disconnection, enabling easy power management in battery
powered systems.

Application Information
The RT8299 is a synchronous high voltage buck converter
that can support the input voltage range from 3V to 24V
a nd the output current ca n be up to 3A.
Output Voltage Setting
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output
voltage a s shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage is set by a n external resistive voltage
divider a ccording to the following equation :
⎛⎞
+
⎜⎟
⎝⎠
OUT FB R1
V = V1
R2
where VFB is the feedback reference voltage (0.8V typ.).
External Bootstrap Diode
Connect a 100nF low ESR ceramic capacitor between
the BOOT pin and SW pin. This capacitor provides the
gate driver voltage for the high side MOSFET.
It is recommended to add an external bootstrap diode
between an external 5V and BOOT pin for efficiency
improvement when input voltage is lower than 5.5V or duty
ratio is higher than 65% .The bootstrap diode can be a
low cost one such as IN4148 or BA T54. The external 5V
ca n be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output of the
RT8299. Note that the external boot voltage must be lower
tha n 5.5V
Chip Enable Operation
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin
low (<0.4V) will shutdown the device. During shutdown
mode, the RT8299 quiescent current drops to lower than
3μA. Driving the EN pin high (>2V, < 5.5V) will turn on the
device again. For external timing control (e.g.RC), the EN
pin can also be externally pulled high by adding a REN*
resistor a nd CEN* capa citor from the VIN pin (see Figure
5).
An external MOSFET can be added to implement digital
control on the EN pin when no system voltage above 2.5V
is available, as shown in Figure 3. In this case, a 100kΩ
pull-up resistor, REN, is connected between VIN and the
EN pin. MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control to pull
down the EN pin.
Figure 3. Enable Control Circuit for Logic Control with
Low V oltage
To prevent enabling circuit when VIN is smaller than the
VOUT target value, a resistive voltage divider can be placed
between the input voltage a nd ground and connected to
the EN pin to adjust IC lockout threshold, as shown in
Figure 4. For exa mple, if an 8V output voltage is regulated
from a 12V input voltage, the resistor REN2 can be selected
to set input lockout threshold larger than 8V.

Under Voltage Protection
Hiccup Mode
For the RT8299, it provides Hiccup Mode U nder Voltage
Protection (UVP). When the FB voltage drops below half
of the feedback reference voltage, VFB, the UVP function
will be triggered and the RT8299 will shut down for a period
of time a nd then recover automatically . The Hiccup Mode
UVP ca n reduce input current in short-circuit conditions.
Inductor Selection
The inductor value and operating frequency determine the
ripple current according to a specific input and output
voltage. The ripple current ΔIL increases with higher VIN
and decrea ses with higher inductance.
Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR
losses in the output ca pacitors but also the output voltage
ripple. High frequency with small ripple current can achieve
highest efficiency operation. However , it requires a large
inductor to a chieve this goal.
For the ripple current selection, the value of ΔIL = 0.24(IMAX)
will be a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple
current occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the
ripple current stays below the specified maximum, the
inductor value should be chosen according to the following
equation :
OUT IN
RMS OUT(MAX) IN OUT
VV
I = I 1
VV
CIN and COUT Selection
The input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the
tra pezoidal current at the source of the high side MOSFET .
To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input ca pa citor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The
RMS current is given by :
OUT OUT
L(MAX) IN(MAX)
VV
L = 1
fI V
⎡⎤
×−
⎢⎥
×Δ
⎣⎦
The inductor's current rating (caused a 40°C temperature
rising from 25°C ambient) should be greater than the
maximum load current and its saturation current should
be greater than the short circuit peak current limit. Plea se
see Table 2 f or the inductor selection reference.
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where
IRMS = IOUT / 2. This simple worst case condition is
commonly used for design because even significant
deviations do not offer much relief.
Choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than
required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to
meet size or height requirements in the design.
For the input capacitor, two 10μF low ESR ceramic
ca pa citors are recommended.
The selection of COUT is determined by the required ESR
to minimize voltage ripple.
Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key
for COUT selection to ensure that the control loop is stable.
Loop stability can be checked by viewing the load transient
response as described in a later section.
The output ripple, ΔVOUT , is determined by :
OUT L OUT
1
VIESR
8fC
⎡⎤
Δ≤Δ +
⎢⎥
⎣⎦
The output ripple will be highest at the maximum input
voltage since ΔIL increases with input voltage. Multiple
capa citors pla ced in parallel may be needed to meet the
ESR and RMS current handling requirement. Dry tantalum,
special polymer, aluminum electrolytic and ceramic
capacitors are all available in surface mount packages.
Special polymer capacitors offer very low ESR value.
However, it provides lower ca pacitance density than other
types. Although Tantalum capacitors have the highest
ca p a cita nce density, it is importa nt to only use types that
pass the surge test for use in switching power supplies.
Aluminum electrolytic ca pacitors have significantly higher
ESR. However, it can be used in cost-sensitive a pplications

for ripple current rating and long term reliability
considerations. Ceramic capacitors have excellent low
ESR characteristics but can have a high voltage coefficient
and audible piezoelectric effe cts. The high Q of ceramic
ca pacitors with trace inductance can also lead to significant
ringing.
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now
becoming available in smaller ca se sizes. Their high ripple
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal
for switching regulator applications. However , care must
be taken when these capacitors are used at input and
output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input
a nd the power is supplied by a wall ada pter through long
wires, a load ste p at the output ca n induce ringing at the
input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output
and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden
inrush of current through the long wires can potentially
cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to da mage the
part.
Checking Tra n sient Re spon se
The regulator loop response can be checked by looking
at the load tra nsient response. Switching regulators ta ke
several cycles to respond to a step in load current. When

a load step occurs, VOUT immediately shifts by a n amount
equal to ΔILOAD (ESR) also begins to charge or discharge
COUT generating a feedba ck error signal f or the regulator
to return VOUT to its steady-state value. During this
recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for overshoot or
ringing that would indicate a stability problem.
EMI Consideration
Since para sitic inductance a nd capacitance effects in PCB
circuitry would cause a spike voltage on SW pin when
high side MOSFET is turned-on/off, this spike voltage on
SW may impact on EMI performance in the system. In
order to enhance EMI performance, there are two methods
to suppress the spike voltage. One is to place an R-C
snubber between SW and GND a nd ma ke them a s close
a s possible to the SW pin (see Figure 5). Another method
is adding a resistor RBOOT* in series with the bootstrap
ca pacitor, CBOOT. But this method will decrea se the driving
capability to the high side MOSFET. It is strongly
recommended to reserve the R-C snubber during PCB
layout for EMI improvement. Moreover , reducing the SW
trace area and keeping the main power in a small loop will
be helpful on EMI perf orma nce. For detailed PCB layout

Layout Consideration
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance
of the RT8299.
` Keep the tra c es of the main current paths as short a nd
wide as possible.
` Put the input ca pa citor as close a s possible to the device
pins (VIN and GND).
` SW node is with high frequency voltage swing and should
be kept at small area. Keep analog components away
from the SW node to prevent stray ca pacitive noise pick-
up.
` Connect feedback network behind the output capa citors.
Keep the loop area small. Place the feedback
components near the RT8299.
` An example of PCB layout guide is shown in Figure 6 for
reference.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed the maximum
operation junction temperature 125°C. The maximum
power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of
IC pa ckage, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow
and temperature difference between junction to a mbient.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA ) / θJA
Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum operation junction
temperature , TA is the a mbient temperature and the θJA is
the junction to ambient thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
a mbient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package, the thermal resistance,
θJA, is 75°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer
thermal test board. For WDFN-10L 3x3 packageS, the
thermal resistance, θJA, is 70°C/W on a standard JEDEC
51-7 four-layer thermal test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by the following
formulas :
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (75°C/W) = 1.333W for
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) pa ckage
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (70°C/W) = 1.429W for
W DF N-10L 3x3 package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 6 allow the
designer to see the ef fe ct of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
