The RT6242A/B is a synchronous step-down converter with Advanced Constant On-Time (ACOT®) mode control. The ACOT® provides a very fast transient response with few external components. The low impedance internal MOSFET supports high efficiency operation with wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 18V. The proprietary circuit of the RT6242A/B enables to support all ceramic capacitors. The output voltage can be adjustable between 0.7V and 8V. The soft-start is adjustable by an external capacitor.

Applications

  • Industrial and Commercial Low Power Systems
  • Computer Peripherals
  • LCD Monitors and TVs
  • Green Electronics/Appliances
