Preliminary
RT9262/A
High Efficiency, Low Supply Current,
Step-up DC/DC Converter
General Description
The RT9262/A is a compact, high efficient, step-up
DC/DC converter with an adaptive current mode
PWM control loop, providing a stable and high
efficient operation over a wide range of load
currents. It operates in both continuous and
discontinuous current modes in stable waveforms
without external compensation.
The low start-up input voltage below 1V makes
RT9262/A suitable for 1 to 4 battery cell applications
providing up to 400mA output current. The 550KHz
high switching rate minimized the size of external
components. Besides, the 17µA low quiescent
current together with high efficiency maintains long
battery lifetime.
The 1.8V to 5V output voltage is set with 2 external
resistors. Both internal 2A switch and driver for
driving external power devices (NMOS or NPN) are
provided.
A 300mA LDO is included in RT9262 to provide a
secondary low noise output as well as an output
current stop in the shutdown mode. Similarly, a 1.8V
to 5V LDO output voltage can be set with 2 external
resistors. For RT9262A, a low battery detector with
0.86V detection voltage is included. RT9262/A are
provided in SOP-8 packages.
