RT6365  
60VIN, 5A, Asynchronous Step-Down Converter with Low  
Quiescent Current  
General Description  
Features  
Wide Input Voltage Range  
The RT6365 is a 5A, high-efficiency, peak current mode  
control asynchronous step-down converter. The device  
operates with input voltages from 4V to 60V. The device  
can program the output voltage between 0.8V to VIN. The  
low quiescent current design with the integrated low RDS(ON)  
of high-side MOSFET achieves high efficiency over the  
wide load range. The peak current mode control with simple  
external compensation allows the use of small inductors  
and results in fast transient response and good loop  
stability.

as input under-voltage lockout, output under-voltage  
protection, output over-voltage protection, over-current  
protection, and thermal shutdown. Cycle-by-cycle current  
limit provides protection against shorted outputs, and soft-  
start eliminates input current surge during start-up. The  
RT6365 is available in WDFN-10L 4x4 and SOP-8

RT6365  
Operation  
Control Loop  
can also be synchronized with an external clock ranging  
from 300kHz to 2.2MHz by RT/SYNC pin. The switching  
frequency of synchronization should be equal to or higher  
than the frequency set by the RT resistor. For example, if  
the switching frequency of synchronization is 300kHz or  
higher, the RRT/SYNC should be selected for 300kHz.  
The RT6365 is a high efficiency asynchronous step-down  
converter utilizes the peak current mode control. An  
internal oscillator initiates the turn-on of the high-side  
MOSFET.At the beginning of each clock cycle, the internal  
high-side MOSFET turns on, allowing current to ramp-up  
in the inductor. The inductor current is internally monitored  
during each switching cycle. The output voltage is sensed  
on the FB pin via the resistor divider, R1 and R2, and  
compared with the internal reference voltage (VREF) to  
generate a compensation signal (VCOMP) on the COMP  
pin. A control signal derived from the inductor current is  
compared to the voltage at the COMP pin, derived from  
the feedback voltage. When the inductor current reaches  
its threshold, the high-side MOSFET is turned off and  
inductor current ramps down. While the high-side MOSFET  
is off, the inductor current is supplied through the external  
low-side diode, freewheel diode, connected between the  
SW pin and GND. This cycle repeats at the next clock  
cycle. In this way, duty-cycle and output voltage are  
controlled by regulating inductor current.  
The RT6365 implements a frequency foldback function to  
protect the device at over-load or short-circuited condition,  
especially higher switching frequencies and input voltages.  
The switching frequency is divided by 1, 2, 4, and 8 as the  
FB pin voltage falls from 0.8 V to 0 V for switching  
frequency control by RT resistor setting mode and the  
synchronization mode both. The frequency foldback  
function increases the switching cycle period and provides  
more time for the inductor current to ramp down.  
Maximum Duty Cycle Operation  
The RT6365 is designed to operate in dropout at the high  
duty cycle approaching 100%. If the operational duty cycle  
is large and the required off-time becomes smaller than  
minimum off-time, the RT6365 starts to enable skip off-  
time function and keeps high-side MOSFET on  
continuously. The RT6365 implements skip off-time  
function to achieve high duty approaching 100%. Therefore,  
the maximum output voltage is near the minimum input  
supply voltage of the application. The input voltage at which  
the devices enter dropout changes depending on the input  
voltage, output voltage, switching frequency, load current,  
and the efficiency of the design.  
Light Load Operation  
The RT6365 operates in power saving mode (PSM) at  
light load to improve light load efficiency. IC starts to switch  
when VFB is lower than PSM threshold ( VREF x 1.005,  
typically) and stops switching when VFB is high enough.  
During PSM, the peak inductor current (IL_PEAK) is  
controlled by the minimum on-time of high-side MOSFET  
to ensure the low output voltage ripple. During non-  
switching period, most of the internal circuit is shut down,  
and the supply current drops to quiescent current (100μA,  
typically) to reduce the quiescent power consumption.  
With lower output loading, the non-switching period is  
longer, so the effective switching frequency becomes lower  
to reduce the switching loss and switch driving loss.  
BOOT UVLO  
The BOOT UVLO circuit is implemented to ensure a  
sufficient voltage of BOOT capacitor for turning on the high-  
side MOSFET at any conditions. The BOOT UVLO usually  
actives at extremely high conversion ratio or the higher  
VOUT application operates at very light load. With such  
conditions when the BOOT to SW voltage falls below  
VBOOT_UVLO_L (2.7V, typically), the device turns on the  
internal BOOT recharge FET (150ns, typically) to charge  
the BOOT capacitor. The BOOT UVLO is sustained until  
the BOOT to SW voltage is higher than VBOOT_UVLO_H  
(2.8V, typically).  
Switching Frequency Selection and Synchronization  
The RT6365 provides an RT/SYNC pin for switching  
frequency selection. The switching frequency can be set  
by using external resistor RRT/SYNC and the switching  
frequency range is from 100kHz to 2.5MHz. The RT6365

and FB pin is larger than 42mV (typically). Only when  
this ramp voltage is higher than the feedback voltage VFB,  
the switching will be resumed. The FB voltage will track  
the SS/TR pin ramp voltage with a SS/TR to FB offset  
voltage (42mV, typically) during soft-start interval. The  
output voltage can then ramp up smoothly to its targeted  
regulation voltage, and the converter can have a monotonic  
smooth start-up. For soft-start control, the SS pin should  
never be left unconnected. After the FB pin voltage rises  
above 94% of VREF (typically), the PGOOD pin will be in  
high impedance and the VPGOOD will be held high. The  
typical start-up waveform shown in Figure 1 indicates the  
sequence and timing between the output voltage and  
related voltage.  
The RT6365 provides an ENpin, as an external chip enable  
control, to enable or disable the device. If VEN is held  
below the enable threshold voltage, switching is inhibited  
even if the VIN voltage is above VIN under-voltage lockout  
threshold (VUVLOH). If VEN is held below 0.4V, the converter  
will enter into shutdown mode, that is, the converter is  
disabled. During shutdown mode, the supply current can  
be reduced to ISHDN (2.25μA, typically). If the EN voltage  
rises above the enable threshold voltage while the VIN  
voltage is higher than VUVLOH, the device will be turned  
on, that is, switching being enabled and soft-start  
sequence being initiated. The ENpin has an internal pull-  
up current source IEN (1.2μA, typically) that enables  
operation of the RT6365 when the EN pin floats. The EN  
pin can be used to adjust the under-voltage lockout (UVLO)  
threshold and hysteresis by using two external resistors.  
The RT6365 implements additional hysteresis current  
source IEN_Hys (3.4μA, typically) to adjust the UVLO. The  
IEN_Hys is sourced out of the EN pin when VEN is larger  
than enable threshold voltage. When the VEN falls below  
enable threshold voltage, the IEN_Hys will be stopped  
sourcing out of the EN pin.

Soft-Start and Tracking Control  
The soft-start function is used to prevent large inrush  
currents while the converter is being powered up. The  
RT6365GSP provides internal soft-start and the  
RT6365GQW provides external soft-start function for inrush  
currents control. The RT6365GQW provides an SS/TR pin  
so that the soft-start time can be programmed by selecting  
the value of the external soft-start capacitor CSS/TR  
connected from the SS/TR pin to ground or controlled by  
external ramp voltage to SS/TR pin. During the start-up  
sequence, the soft-start capacitor is charged by an internal  
current source ISS (1.7μA, typically) to generate a soft-  
start ramp voltage as a reference voltage to the PWM  
comparator. The high-side MOSFET will start switching if  
the VSS/TR is larger than 54mV, and then the voltage  
difference between SS/TR pin and FB pin is larger than  
42mV ( i.e. VSS/TR VFB > 42mV, typically) during power-  
up period. If the output is pre-biased to a certain voltage  
during start-up for some reason, the device will not start  
switching until the voltage difference between SS/TR pin  
Figure 1 Start-Up Sequence for RT6365GQW  
Power Good Indication  
The RT6365GQW features an open-drain power-good  
output (PGOOD) to monitor the output voltage status. The  
output delay of comparator prevents false flag operation  
for short excursions in the output voltage, such as during  
line and load transients. Pull-up PGOOD with a resistor  
to an external voltage source and it is recommended to  
use pull-up resistance between the values of 1 and 10kΩ  
to reduce the switching noise coupling to PGOOD pin.  
The PGOOD assertion requires input voltage above 2V.  
The power-good function is controlled by a comparator  
connected to the feedback signal VFB. If VFB rises above  
the power-good high threshold (VTH_PGLH1) (94% of the  
reference voltage, typically), the PGOOD pin will be in  
high impedance and VPGOOD will be held high after a certain

delay elapsed. When VFB falls below power-good low  
threshold (VTH_PGHL2) (92% of the reference voltage,  
typically) or exceeds VTH_PGHL1 (109% of the reference  
voltage, typically), the PGOODpin will be pulled low. For  
VFB higher than VTH_PGHL1, VPGOOD can be pulled high  
again if VFB drops back by a power-good high threshold  
(VTH_PGLH2) (106% of the reference voltage, typically).  
Once being started-up, if any internal protection is  
triggered, PGOODwill be pulled low toGND. The internal  
open-drain pull-down device (45Ω, typically) will pull the  
PGOODpin low. The power good indication profile is shown  
in Figure 2.  
certain amount of delay when the high-side MOSFET  
being turned on. If an over-current condition occurs, the  
converter will immediately turn off the high-side MOSFET  
to prevent the inductor current exceeding the high-side  
MOSFET peak current limit (ILIM).  
Output Under-Voltage Protection  
The RT6365 includes output under-voltage protection  
(UVP) against over-load or short-circuited condition by  
constantly monitoring the feedback voltage VFB. If VFB  
drops below the under-voltage protection trip threshold  
(50% of the internal reference voltage, typically), the UV  
comparator will go high to turn off the internal high-side  
switch. If the output under-voltage condition continues for  
a period of time, the RT6365 enters output under-voltage  
protection with hiccup mode and discharges the CSS/TR  
by an internal discharging current source ISS_DIS (0.5μA,  
typically). During hiccup mode, the device remains  
shutdown. After the SS pin voltage is discharged to less  
than 54mV (typically), the RT6365 attempts to re-start up  
again, and the internal charging current source ISS (1.7μA,  
typically) gradually increases the voltage on CSS/TR. The  
high-side MOSFET will start switching when voltage  
difference between SS pin and FB pin is larger than 42mV  
( i.e. VSS VFB > 42mV, typically). If the output under-  
voltage condition is not removed, the high-side MOSFET  
stops switching when the voltage difference between SS  
pin and FB pin is 1.2V ( i.e. VSS VFB = 1.2V, typically)  
and then the ISS_DIS discharging current source begins to  
discharge CSS/TR. Upon completion of the soft-start  
sequence, if the output under-voltage condition is removed,  
the converter will resume normal operation; otherwise, such  
cycle for auto-recovery will be repeated until the output  
under-voltage condition is cleared. Hiccup mode allows  
the circuit to operate safely with low input current and  
power dissipation, and then resume normal operation as  
soon as the over-load or short-circuit condition is removed.

Input Under-Voltage Lockout  
In addition to the EN pin, the RT6365 also provides enable  
control through the VIN pin. If VEN rises above VTH_EN first,  
the switching will be inhibited until the VIN voltage rises  
above VUVLOH. It is to ensure that the internal regulator is  
ready so that operation with not-fully-enhanced internal  
high-side MOSFET can be prevented. After the device is  
powered up, if the input voltage VIN goes below the UVLO  
falling threshold voltage (VUVLOL), this switching will be  
inhibited; if VIN rises above the UVLO rising threshold  
(VUVLOH), the device will resume switching. Note that VIN  
= 4V is only design for input voltage momentarily falls  
down to the UVLO threshold voltage requirement, and  
normal input voltage should be larger than the VUVLOH  
.
Since the CSS/TR will be discharged to 54mV when the  
RT6365 enters output under-voltage protection, the first  
discharging time (tSS_DIS1) can be calculated as below :  
High-Side MOSFET Peak Current Limit Protection  
The RT6365 includes a cycle-by-cycle high-side MOSFET  
peak current-limit protection against the condition that

inductor saturation current rating. The inductor current

The equation below assumes that the VFB will be 0 at  
short-circuited condition and it can be used to calculate

(tSS_CH) during hiccup mode.

Output Over-Voltage Protection  
The RT6365 includes an output over-voltage protection  
(OVP) circuit to limit output voltage. Since the VFB is lower  
than the reference voltage (VREF) at over-load or short-  
circuited condition, the COMP voltage will be high to  
demand maximum output current. Once the over-load or  
short-circuited condition is removed, the COMP voltage  
resumes to the normal voltage to regulate the output  
voltage. The output voltage leads to the possibility of an  
output overshoot if the load transient is faster than the  
COMP voltage transient response, especially for small  
output capacitance. If the VFB goes above the 109% of  
the reference voltage, the high-side MOSFET will be forced  
off to limit the output voltage. When the VFB drops lower  
than the 106% of the reference voltage, the high-side  
MOSFET will be resumed.  
Over-Temperature Protection  
The RT6365 includes an over-temperature protection (OTP)  
circuitry to prevent overheating due to excessive power  
dissipation. The OTP will shut down switching operation  
when junction temperature exceeds a thermal shutdown  
threshold TSD. Once the junction temperature cools down  
by a thermal shutdown hysteresis (ΔTSD), the IC will  
resume normal operation with a complete soft-start.

RT6365  
Application Information  
A general RT6365 application circuit is shown in typical  
application circuit section. External component selection  
is largely driven by the load requirement and begins with  
the switching frequency selection by using external resistor  
RRT/SYNC. Next, the inductor L, the input capacitor CIN,  
the output capacitor COUT and freewheel diode are chosen.  
Next, feedback resistors and compensation circuit are  
selected to set the desired output voltage and crossover  
frequency, and the bootstrap capacitor CBOOT can be  
selected. Finally, the remaining optional external  
components can be selected for functions such as the  
EN, external soft-start, PGOOD, and synchronization.

where RDS(ON)_H is the on-resistance of the high-side  
MOSFET; VD is the forward conduction voltage of the  
freewheel diode; RL is the DC resistance of inductor.  
The switching frequency fSW is set by the external resistor  
RRT/SYNC connected between the RT/SYNC pin and  
ground. The failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)  
consideration is applied to the RT/SYNC pin setting to  
avoid abnormal switching frequency operation at failure  
conditions. It includes failure scenarios of short-circuit to  
ground and the pin is left open. The switching frequency  
will be 900kHz (typically) when the RT/SYNC pin is  
shorted to ground, and 240kHz (typically) when the pin is  
left open. The equation below shows the relation between  
setting frequency and the RRT/SYNC value.  
Switching Frequency Setting  
The RT6365 offers adjustable switching frequency setting  
and the switching frequency can be set by using external  
resistor RRT/SYNC. The switching frequency range is from  
100kHz to 2.5MHz. The selection of the operating  
frequency is a trade-off between efficiency and component  
size. High frequency operation allows the use of smaller  
inductor and capacitor values. Operation at lower  
frequencies improves efficiency by reducing internal gate  
charge and transition losses, but requires larger inductance  
values and/or capacitance to maintain low output ripple  
voltage. The additional constraints on operating frequency  
are the minimum on-time and minimum off-time. The  
minimum on-time, tON_MIN, is the smallest duration of time  
in which the high-side switch can be in its onstate.  
The minimum on-time of the RT6365 is 100ns (typically).  
In continuous mode operation, the maximum operating  
frequency, fSW_MAX, can be derived from the minimum on-  
time according to the formula below :

The minimum off-time of the RT6365 is 130ns (typically).  
If the switching frequency should be constant, the required  
off-time needs to be larger than minimum off-time. Below

RT6365  
Inductor Selection  
The current flowing through the inductor is the inductor  
ripple current plus the output current. During power up,  
faults, or transient load conditions, the inductor current  
can increase above the calculated peak inductor current  
level calculated above . In transient conditions, the inductor  
current can increase up to the switch current limit of the  
device. For this reason, the most conservative approach  
is to specify an inductor with a saturation current rating  
which is equal to or greater than the switch current limit  
rather than the peak inductor current. It is recommended  
to use shielded inductors for good EMI performance.  
The inductor selection trade-offs among size, cost,  
efficiency, and transient response requirements.Generally,  
three key inductor parameters are specified for operation  
with the device: inductance value (L), inductor saturation  
current (ISAT), andDC resistance (DCR).  
Agood compromise between size and loss is a 30% peak-  
to-peak ripple current to the IC rated current. The switching  
frequency, input voltage, output voltage, and selected  
inductor ripple current determines the inductor value as  
follows :

Input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the pulsating  
current at the drain of the high-side MOSFET. The CIN  
should be sized to do this without causing a large variation  
in input voltage. The peak-to-peak voltage ripple on input  
capacitor can be estimated as equation below :  
Larger inductance values result in lower output ripple  
voltage and higher efficiency, but a slightly degraded  
transient response. This results in additional phase lag in  
the loop and reduces the crossover frequency.As the ratio  
of the slope-compensation ramp to the sensed-current  
ramp increases, the current-mode system tilts towards  
voltage-mode control. Lower inductance values allow for  
smaller case size, but the increased ripple lowers the  
effective current limit threshold and increases the AC  
losses in the inductor. It also causes insufficient slope  
compensation and ultimately loop instability as duty cycle  
approaches or exceeds 50%. When duty cycle exceeds  
50%, below condition needs to be satisfied :

Figure 4 shows the CIN ripple current flowing through the

For ceramic capacitors, the equivalent series resistance  
(ESR) is very low, the ripple which is caused by ESR can  
be ignored, and the minimum value of effective input  
capacitance can be estimated as equation below :

Agood compromise among size, efficiency, and transient

To enhance the efficiency, choose a low-loss inductor  
having the lowest possible DC resistance that fits in the  
allotted dimensions. The inductor value determines not  
only the ripple current but also the load-current value at  
whichDCM/CCM switchover occurs. The selected inductor  
should have a saturation current rating greater than the  
peak current limit of the device. The core must be large

In addition, the input capacitor needs to have a very low  
ESR and must be rated to handle the worst-case RMS  
input current. The RMS ripple current (IRMS) of the regulator  
can be determined by the input voltage (VIN), output voltage  
(VOUT), and rated output current (IOUT) as the following  
equation :  
frequency noise, an additional small 0.1μF capacitor should  
be placed close to the part and the capacitor should be  
0402 or 0603 in size. X7R capacitors are recommended  
for best performance across temperature and input voltage  
variations.

The selection of COUT is determined by considering to  
satisfy the voltage ripple and the transient loads. The peak-  
to-peak output ripple, ΔVOUT, is determined by :  
From the above, the maximum RMS input ripple current  
occurs at maximum output load, which will be used as  
the requirements to consider the current capabilities of  
the input capacitors. The maximum ripple voltage usually  
occurs at 50% duty cycle, that is, VIN = 2 x VOUT. It is  
common to use the worse IRMS 0.5 x IOUT_MAX at VIN = 2  
x VOUT for design. Note that ripple current ratings from  
capacitor manufacturers are often based on only 2000  
hours of life which makes it advisable to further de-rate  
the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher  
temperature than required.

VOUT = IL ESR +  
8fSW COUT  
Where the ΔIL is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current.  
The highest output ripple is at 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 requirements.  
Regarding to the transient loads, the VSAG and VSOAR  
requirement should be taken into consideration for  
choosing the effective output capacitance value. The  
amount of output sag/soar is a function of the crossover  
frequency factor at PWM, and can be calculated from  
Several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet size,  
height and thermal requirements in the design. For low  
input voltage applications, sufficient bulk input capacitance  
is needed to minimize transient effects during output load  
changes.

Ceramic capacitors are ideal for switching regulator  
applications because of its small size, robustness, and  
very low ESR. However, care must be taken when these  
capacitors are used at the input.Aceramic input capacitor  
combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high  
quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the RT6365 circuit  
is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to  
twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the device's  
rating. This situation is easily avoided by placing the low  
ESR ceramic input capacitor in parallel with a bulk  
capacitor with higher ESR to damp the voltage ringing.  
Ceramic capacitors have very low equivalent series  
resistance (ESR) and provide the best ripple performance.  
The X7R dielectric capacitor is recommended for the best  
performance across temperature and input voltage  
variations. The variation of the capacitance value with  
temperature, DC bias voltage and switching frequency  
needs to be taken into consideration. For example, the  
capacitance value of a capacitor decreases as theDC bias  
across the capacitor increases. Be careful to consider the  
voltage coefficient of ceramic capacitors when choosing  
the value and case size. Most ceramic capacitors lose  
50% or more of their rated values when used near their  
rated voltage.  
The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible  
to the VIN pin with a low inductance connection to the  
GND of the IC. The VIN pin must be bypassed to ground  
with a minimum value of effective capacitance 3μF. For  
400kHz switching frequency application, two 4.7μF, X7R  
capacitors can be connected between the VINpin and the  
GNDpin. The larger input capacitance is required when a  
lower switching frequency is used. For filtering high  
Transient performance can be improved with a higher value  
output capacitor. Increasing the output capacitance will  
also decrease the output voltage ripple.

Compensation Network Design  
The purpose of loop compensation is to ensure stable  
operation while maximizing the dynamic performance.An  
undercompensated system may result in unstable  
operation. Typical symptoms of an unstable power supply  
include: audible noise from the magnetic components or  
ceramic capacitors, jittering in the switching waveforms,  
oscillation of output voltage, overheating of power MOSFET  
and so on.

The losses of freewheel diode must be considered in order  
to ensure sufficient power rating for diode selection. The  
conduction loss in the diode is determined by the forward  
voltage of the diode, and the switching loss in the diode  
can be determined by the junction capacitor of the diode.  
The power dissipation of the diode can be calculated as  
following formula  
In most cases, the peak current mode control architecture  
used in the RT6365 only requires two external components  
to achieve a stable design as shown in Figure 7. The  
compensation can be selected to accommodate any  
capacitor type or value. The external compensation also  
allows the user to set the crossover frequency and optimize  
the transient performance of the device. At around the  
crossover frequency, the peak current mode control  
(PCMC) equivalent circuit of Buck converter can be  
simplified as shown in Figure 8. The method presented  
here is easy to calculate and ignore the effects of the  
internal slope compensation. Since the slope  
compensation is ignored, the actual crossover frequency

is usually lower than the crossover frequency used in the  
calculations. It is always necessary to make a  
measurement before releasing the design for final  
production. Though the models of power supplies are  
theoretically correct, they cannot take full account of the  
circuit parasitic and component nonlinearity, such as the  
ESR variations of output capacitors, the nonlinearity of  
inductors and capacitors, etc.Also, circuit PCB noise and  
limited measurement accuracy may also cause  
measurement errors.ABode plot is ideally measured with  
a network analyzer while Richtek application noteAN038

purposes, the target is to have a loop gain slope that  
is 20dB/decade from a very low frequency to beyond  
the crossover frequency. In general, one-twentieth to  
one-tenth of the switching frequency (5% to 10% of  
fsw) is recommended to be the crossover frequency.  
Do NOTdesign the crossover frequency over 80kHz  
with the RT6365. For dynamic purposes, the higher  
the bandwidth, the faster the load transient response.  
The downside of the high bandwidth is that it increases  
the susceptibility of the regulators to board noise which  
ultimately leads to excessive falling edge jitter of the  
switch node voltage.

ceramic capacitor with X7R is recommended, and the  
capacitor should have a 6.3 V or higher voltage rating.  
External Bootstrap Resistor (Option)  
The gate driver of an internal high-side MOSFET, utilized  
as a high-side switch, is optimized for turning on the  
switch. The gate driver is not only fast enough for reducing  
switching power loss, but also slow enough for minimizing  
EMI. The EMI issue is worse when the switch is turned  
on rapidly due to induced high di/dt noises. When the  
high-side MOSFET is turned off, the SW node will be  
discharged relatively slow by the inductor current because  
the presence of the dead time when both the high-side  
MOSFET and low-side freewheel diode are turned off.  
External Bootstrap Diode  
It has to add an external bootstrap diode between an  
external 5V voltage supply and the BOOT pin to improve  
enhancement of the high-side MOSFET and improve  
efficiency when the input voltage is below 5.5V or duty  
ratio is higher than 65%. The recommended application  
circuit is shown in Figure 9. The bootstrap diode can be a  
low-cost one, such as 1N4148. The external 5V can be a  
fixed 5V voltage supply from the system, or a 5V output  
voltage generated by the RT6365.Note that the VBOOTSW  
must be lower than 5.5V. Figure 10 shows efficiency  
comparison between with and without bootstrap diode.  
5V  
In some cases, it is desirable to reduce EMI further, even  
at the expense of some additional power dissipation. The  
turn-on rate of the high-side MOSFET can be slowed by  
placing a small bootstrap resistor RBOOT between the  
BOOT pin and the external bootstrap capacitor as shown  
in Figure 11. The recommended range for the RBOOT is  
several ohms to 10 ohms, and it could be 0402 or 0603 in  
size.

which includes an external bootstrap diode for charging  
the bootstrap capacitor and a bootstrap resistor RBOOT  
placed between the BOOT pin and the capacitor/diode

RT6365  
EN Pin for Start-Up and UVLO Adjustment  
typically) charges an external capacitor to build a soft-  
start ramp voltage. The internal charging current source  
ISS gradually increases the voltage on CSS/TR, and the high-  
side MOSFET will start switching if voltage difference  
between SS/TR pin and FB pin is larger than 42mV ( i.e.  
VSS/TR VFB > 42mV, typically) during power-up period.  
The FB voltage will track the SS/TR pin ramp voltage with  
a SS/TR to FB offset voltage (42mV, typically) during soft-  
start interval. The typical soft-start time (tSS) which is the  
duration of VOUT rises from 10% to 90% of setting value is  
calculated as follows :  
For automatic start-up, the ENpin has an internal pull-up  
current source IEN (1.2μA, typically) that enables operation  
of the RT6365 when the EN pin floats. If the EN voltage  
rises above the VTH_EN (1.2V, typically) and the VINvoltage  
is higher than VUVLOH (4.3V, typically), the device will be  
turned on, that is, switching is enabled and soft-start  
sequence is initiated. If the high UVLO is required, the  
EN pin can be used to adjust the under-voltage lockout  
(UVLO) threshold and hysteresis. There is an additional  
hysteresis current source IEN_Hys (3.4μA, typically) which  
is sourced out of the EN pin when the EN pin voltage  
VREF 0.8  
tSS = CSS/TR  
ISS  
exceeds VTH_EN. When the EN pin drops below VTH_EN  
,
If a heavy load is added to the output with large  
capacitance, the output voltage will never enter regulation  
because of UVP. Thus, the device remains in hiccup  
operation. The CSS/TR should be large enough to ensure  
soft-start period ends after COUT is fully charged.  
the IEN_Hys is removed. Therefore, the EN pin can be  
externally connected to VIN by adding two resistors, RENH  
and RENL to achieve UVLO adjustment as shown in Figure  
13.  
According to the desired start and stop input voltage, the  
resistance of REN1 and REN2 can be obtained as below :

Power-Good Output  
The EN pin, with high-voltage rating, supports wide input  
voltage range to adjust the VIN UVLO.  
The RT6365GQW features an open-drain power-good  
output (PGOOD) to monitor the output voltage status. The  
PGOODpin is an open-drain power-good indication output  
and is to be connected to an external voltage source  
through a pull-up resistor.

Synchronization  
Soft-Start and Tracking Control  
The RT6365 can be synchronized with an external clock  
ranging from 300kHz to 2.2MHz which is applied to the  
RT/SYNC pin. The minimum synchronous pulse width of  
the external clock must be larger than 20ns and the  
amplitude should have valleys that are below 0.5V and  
peaks above 2V (up to 6V). The rising edge of the SW will  
be synchronized to the falling edge of the RT/SYNC pin  
signal.  
The RT6365GQW provides adjustable soft-start function.  
The soft-start function is used to prevent large inrush  
current while converter is being powered-up. The  
RT6365GQW provides an SS/TR pin so that the soft-start  
time can be programmed by selecting the value of the  
external soft-start capacitor CSS/TR connected from the  
SS/TR pin to ground or controlled by external ramp voltage  
to SS/TR pin. An internal current source ISS (1.7μA,

RT6365  
The switching frequency control of the RT6365 will switch  
from the RT resistor setting mode to the synchronization  
mode when the external clock is applied to the RT/SYNC  
pin. The RT6365 transitions from the RT resistor setting  
mode to the synchronization mode within 60  
microseconds. Figure 14 and Figure 15 show the device  
synchronized to an external system clock in power saving  
mode (PSM) and continuous conduction mode (CCM).  
Thermal Considerations  
In many applications, the RT6365 does not generate much  
heat due to its high efficiency and low thermal resistance  
of its WDFN-10L4x4 and SOP-8 (Exposed pad) packages.  
However, in applications which the RT6365 runs at a high  
ambient temperature and high input voltage or high  
switching frequency, the generated heat may exceed the  
maximum junction temperature of the part.  
The switching frequency of synchronization should be  
equal to or higher than the frequency set with the RT  
resistor. For example, if the switching frequency of  
synchronization will be 300kHz and higher, the RRT/SYNC  
should be selected for 300kHz. Be careful to design the  
compensation network and inductance for switching  
frequency controlled by both RT resistor setting mode  
and the synchronization mode.  
The junction temperature should never exceed the  
absolute maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), listed  
under Absolute Maximum Ratings, to avoid permanent  
damage to the device. If the junction temperature reaches  
approximately 175°C, the RT6365 stops switching the high-  
side MOSFET until the temperature cools down by 15°C.  
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by  
the following formula :  
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA) / θJA(EFFECTIVE)  
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum allowed junction temperature  
of the die. For recommended operating condition  
specifications, the maximum junction temperature is  
150°C. TA is the ambient operating temperature,  
θJA(EFFECTIVE) is the system-level junction to ambient  
thermal resistance. It can be estimated from thermal  
modeling or measurements in the system.  
The thermal resistance of the device strongly depends on  
the surrounding PCB layout and can be improved by  
providing a heat sink of surrounding copper ground. The  
addition of backside copper with thermal vias, stiffeners,  
and other enhancements can also help reduce thermal  
resistance.  
Figure 14. Synchronization Mode in PSM  
Experiments in the Richtek thermal lab show that simply  
set θJA(EFFECTIVE) as 110% to 120% of the θJA is reasonable  
to obtain the allowed PD(MAX)  
.
If the application calls for a higher ambient temperature  
and may exceed the recommended maximum junction  
temperature of 150°C, care should be taken to reduce the  
temperature rise of the part by using a heat sink or air  
flow.

protect the device during momentary overload conditions.

maximum range of operation as a secondary fail-safe and  
therefore should not be relied upon operationally.  
Continuous operation above the specified absolute  
maximum operating junction temperature may impair  
device reliability or permanently damage the device.  
The RT/SYNC resistor, RRT/SYNC, should be placed as  
close to the IC as possible because to the RT/SYNC  
pin is sensitive to noise.  
Figure 16 and Figure 17 are the RT6365GQW layout  
examples.  
Layout Guidelines  
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of  
the RT6365 :  
Four-layer or six-layer PCB with maximum ground plane  
is strongly recommended for good thermal performance.  
Keep the traces of the main current paths wide and  
short.  
Place high frequency decoupling capacitor CIN5 as close  
to the IC as possible to reduce the loop impedance and  
minimize switch node ringing.  
Place bootstrap capacitor, CBOOT, as close to the IC as  
possible. Routing the trace with width of 20mil or wider.  
Place multiple vias under the device near VINandGND,  
and close to input capacitors to reduce parasitic  
inductance and improve thermal performance. To keep  
thermal resistance low, extend the ground plane as much  
as possible. Add thermal vias under and near the  
RT6365 to additional ground planes within the circuit  
board and on the bottom side.  
The high frequency switching nodes, SW and BOOT,  
should be as small as possible. Keep analog  
components away from the SW and BOOT nodes.  
Place freewheel diode,D1, and inductor, L1, as close to  
the IC as possible to reduce the area size of the SW  
exposed copper to reduce the electrically coupling from  
this voltage.  
Connect the feedback sense network behind via of output  
capacitor.  
Place the feedback components RFB1 / RFB2 / CFF near  
the IC.  
Place the compensation components RCP1 / CCP1 / CCP2  
near the IC.
