The RT8092 is a Peak-Current Mode Pulse-Width-Modulated (PWM) step-down DC/DC converter with I2C control interface. Capable of delivering 4A continuing output current over a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V, the RT8092 is ideally suited for portable electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell Li-ion battery or from other power sources within the range such as cellular phones, PDAs and handy-terminals.
Internal synchronous rectifier with low RDS(ON) dramatically reduces conduction loss at PWM mode. No external Schottky barrier diode is required in practical application. The RT8092 enters low-dropout mode when normal PWM cannot provide regulated output voltage by continuously turning on the upper P-MOSFET. The RT8092 enters shut-down mode and consumes less than 5μA when the EN pin is pulled low. The switching ripple is easily smoothed-out by small package filtering elements due to a fixed operation frequency of 3MHz. The small WL-CSP-15B 1.2x2 (BSC) and WQFN-14L 3.5x3.5 packages are ideal for small PCB area applications.
To increase battery life time, the RT8092 provides low power mode with IQ < 15μA in standby and light-load applications. The RT8092 also includes Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) for system low power applications.
The I2C interface let the RT8092 controllable flexibly to select VOUT voltage level, peak current limit level, PWM control mode, and so on. Other features include soft-start, auto discharge, lower internal reference voltage, over-temperature, and over-current protection.
