RT8279
5A, 36V, 500kHz Step-Down Converter
General Description
The RT8279 is a step-down regulator with an internal power
MOSFET. It achieves 5A of continuous output current over
a wide input supply range with excellent load and line
regulation. Current mode operation provides fast transient
response and eases loop stabilization.
For protection, the RT8279 provides cycle-by-cycle current
limiting and thermal shutdown protection. An adjustable
soft-start reduces the stress on the input source at
startup. In shutdown mode, the regulator draws only 25μA
of supply current.
The RT8279 requires a minimum number of readily
available external components, providing a compact
solution. The RT8279 is available in the SOP-8 (Exposed
Pad) package.
