17.2 Pinning
Feedback input. An external resistor divider from
the output to GND, tapped to the FB pin sets the
Exposed
Ground pin. Connect exposed pad to ground
plane for proper thermal performance.
Switch node to the inductor.
Input supply pin for power FET.
Input Supply pin for controller. Put small
decoupling ceramic near this pin.
Enable input, “High” enables MP2012. EN is
pulled to GND with 1Meg internal resistor.
18 RTA8283A (U23, U173)
18.1 General description
The RT8283A is a high-efficiency, monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter
that can deliver up to 3A output current from a 4.5V to 23V input supply. The RT8283A's
current mode architecture and external compensation allow the transient response to be
optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors. Cycle-by-cycle current limit
provides protection against shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current surge
during start-up. The RT8283A also provides output under voltage protection and thermal
shutdown protection. The low current (<3μA) shutdown mode provides output
disconnect,
enabling easy power management in batterypowered systems. The RT8283A is available
in a SOP-8 package.
