RT8278
2A, 24V, 3MHz Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8278 is a high voltage buck converter that can
support an input voltage range from 4.5V to 24V with output
current up to 2A. Current mode operation provides fast
transient response and eases loop stabilization.
The chip provides protection functions such as cycle-by-
cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown protection.
In shutdown mode, the regulator only draws 25μA of
supply current. The RT8278 is available in a SOP-8
(Exposed Pad) package.
