RT7237B  
2A, 18V, 1.2MHz Synchronous Step-Down Converter  
General Description  
Features  
1.5% High Accuracy Reference Voltage  
The RT7237B is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous  
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 2A  
output current from a 4.5V to 18V input supply. The  
RT7237B's current mode architecture and external  
compensation allow the transient response to be  
optimized over a wide input range and loads. Cycle-by-  
cycle current limit provides protection against shorted  
outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current surge during  
start-up. The RT7237B also provides under voltage  
protection and thermal shutdown protection. The low  
current (<3μA) shutdown mode provides output  
disconnection, enabling easy power management in  
battery-powered systems. The RT7237B is available in  
an SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

Operation  
Foldback Control  
Internal Regulator  
Dynamically adjust the internal clock. It provides a slower  
frequency as a lower FB voltage.  
Provide internal power for logic control and switch gate  
drivers.  
UV Comparator  
Shutdown Comparator  
As FB voltage is lower than the UV voltage, it will activate  
a UV protect scheme.  
Activate internal regulator once EN input level is higher  
than the target level. Force IC to enter shutdown mode  
when the EN input level is lower than 0.4V.  
Error Amplifier  
The output voltage COMP of the error amplifier is adjusted  
by comparing FB signal with the internal reference voltage  
and SS signal.  
Lockout Comparator  
Activate the current comparator, release lock-out logic,  
and enable the switches as EN input level is higher than  
lockout threshold voltage. Otherwise, the switches still  
lock out.  
Current Sense Amplifier  
RSENSE detects the peak current of the high side switch.  
This signal is amplified by the current sense amplifier and  
added with a slope compensation signal. Then, It controls  
the switches by comparing this signal with the COMP  
voltage.  
Oscillator  
The oscillator provides internal clock and controls the  
converter's switching frequency.

Application Information  
Output Voltage Setting  
Soft-Start  
The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output  
voltage as shown in Figure 1.  
The RT7237B provides soft-start function. The soft-start  
function is used to prevent large inrush current while  
converter is being powered-up. The soft-start timing can  
be programmed by the external capacitor between SS and  
GND. An internal current source ISS (6μA) charges an  
external capacitor to build a soft-start ramp voltage. The  
VFB voltage will track the internal ramp voltage during soft-  
start interval. The typical soft-start time is calculated as

Chip Enable Operation  
VOUT = VREF 1+  
The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin  
low (<0.4V) will shut down the device. During shutdown  
mode, the RT7237B quiescent current drops to lower than  
3μA. Driving the EN pin high (>2V, <18V) will turn on the  
device again. For external timing control, the EN pin can  
also be externally pulled high by adding a REN resistor  
and CEN capacitor from the VIN pin (see Figure 3).  
Where VREF is the reference voltage (0.8V typ.).  
External Bootstrap Diode  
Connect a 0.1μF 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 BAT54. The external 5V  
can be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output of the  
RT7237B. Note that the external boot voltage must be  
lower than 5.5V

RT7237B  
Under Voltage Protection  
Hiccup Mode  
Over Temperature Protection  
The RT7237B features an Over Temperature Protection  
(OTP) circuitry to prevent from overheating due to  
excessive power dissipation. The OTP will shut down  
switching operation when junction temperature exceeds  
150°C. Once the junction temperature cools down by  
approximately 20°C, the converter will resume operation.  
To maintain continuous operation, the maximum junction  
temperature should be lower than 125°C.  
For the RT7237BH, it provides Hiccup Mode Under Voltage  
Protection (UVP). When the VFB voltage drops below 0.4V,  
the UVP function will be triggered to shut down switching  
operation. If the UVP condition remains for a period, the  
RT7237BH will retry automatically. When the UVP  
condition is removed, the converter will resume operation.  
The UVP is disabled during soft-start period.  
Hiccup Mode  
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 decreases with higher inductance.

Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR  
losses in the output capacitors but also the output voltage  
ripple. High frequency with small ripple current can achieve  
the highest efficiency operation. However, it requires a  
large inductor to achieve this goal.  
IL

Time (50ms/Div)  
Figure 5. Hiccup Mode Under Voltage Protection  
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 :  
Latch-Off Mode  
For the RT7237BL, it provides Latch-Off Mode Under  
Voltage Protection (UVP). When the FB voltage drops  
below half of the feedback reference voltage, VFB, UVP  
will be triggered and the RT7237BLwill shut down in Latch-  
Off Mode. In shutdown condition, the RT7237BL can be  
reset by EN pin or power input VIN.

CIN and COUT Selection  
Thermal Considerations  
The input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the  
trapezoidal current at the source of the high side MOSFET.  
To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input capacitor  
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The  
approximate RMS current is given :  
For continuous operation, do not exceed the maximum  
operation junction temperature 125°C. The maximum  
power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of  
IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow  
and temperature difference between junction to ambient.  
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by  
following formula :

OUT(MAX)

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 capacitors are suggested. For the  
suggested capacitor, please refer to Table 3 for more  
details. 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.  
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA ) / θJA  
Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum operation junction  
temperature , TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is  
the junction to ambient thermal resistance.  
For recommended operating conditions specification of  
RT7237B, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C.  
The junction to ambient thermal resistance θJA is layout  
dependent. For SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package, the  
thermal resistance θJA is 75°C/W on the standard JEDEC  
51-7 four-layers thermal test board. The maximum power  
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by following  
formula :  
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (75°C/W) = 1.333W  
(min.copper area PCB layout)  
The output ripple, ΔVOUT , is determined by :  
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (49°C/W) = 2.04W  
(70mm2copper area PCB layout)

ΔVOUT ≤ ΔIL ESR +  
8fCOUT  
The thermal resistance θJA of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is  
determined by the package architecture design and the  
PCB layout design. However, the package architecture  
design had been designed. If possible, it's useful to increase  
thermal performance by the PCB layout copper design.  
The thermal resistance θJA can be decreased by adding  
copper area under the exposed pad of SOP-8 (Exposed  
Pad) package.  
The output ripple will be the highest at the maximum input  
voltage since ΔIL increases with input voltage. Multiple  
capacitors placed in parallel may be needed to meet the  
ESR and RMS current handling requirement. Higher values,  
lower cost ceramic capacitors are now becoming available  
in smaller case 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 and the power is supplied  
by a wall adapter through long wires, a load step at the  
output can induce ringing at the input, VIN.Asudden inrush  
of current through the long wires can potentially cause a  
voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the part.  
As shown in Figure 7, the amount of copper area to which  
the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is mounted affects thermal  
performance. When mounted to the standard  
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) pad (Figure 7.a), θJA is 75°C/W.  
Adding copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed  
Pad) (Figure 7.b) reduces the θJA to 64°C/W. Even further,  
increasing the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 7.e)  
reduces the θJA to 49°C/W.

The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating  
ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal  
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 8 of derating  
curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising  
ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation  
allowed.

Layout Consideration  
` 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 capacitive noise  
pick-up.  
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance  
of the RT7237B.  
` Keep the traces of the main current paths as short and  
` Connect feedback network behind the output capacitors.  
Keep the loop area small. Place the feedback  
components near the RT7237B.  
wide as possible.  
` Put the input capacitor as close as possible to the device  
pins (VINandGND).  
` An example of PCB layout guide is shown in Figure 9  
for reference.
