ACTIVE

The Evaluation Board demonstrates the RTQ6365GSP to be designed for a 5V/5A output from a 8V to 60V input at 400kHz switching frequency. The wide input range makes it suitable for communications and industrial 12V, 24V and 48V power systems. The RTQ6365GSP provides complete protection functions such as input under-voltage lockout, output under-voltage protection, over-current protection and thermal shut down. Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current surge during start-up.

Power-up Procedure

Suggestion Required Equipments

  • RTQ6365GSP Evaluation Board
  • DC power supply capable of at least 60V and 6A
  • Electronic load capable of 6A
  • Function Generator
  • Oscilloscope

Quick Start Procedures

The Evaluation Board is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps below to verify board operation. Do not turn on supplies until all connections are made. When measuring the output voltage ripple, care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the oscilloscope probe. Measure the output voltage ripple by touching the probe tip and ground ring directly across the last output capacitor.

Proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below.

1) With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN and GND pins.

2) With power off, connect the electronic load between the VOUT and nearest GND pins.

3) Turn on the power supply at the input. Make sure that the input voltage does not exceeds 60V on the Evaluation Board.

4) Check for the proper output voltage using a voltmeter.

5) Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the load within the operating ranges and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and other performance.

1. The capacitance values of the input and output capacitors will influence the input and output voltage ripple.

2. MLCC capacitors have degrading capacitance at DC bias voltage, and especially smaller size MLCC capacitors will have much lower capacitance.

RTQ6365
RTQ6365

The RTQ6365 is a 5A, high-efficiency, peak current mode control asynchronous step-down converter. The device operates with input voltages from 4V to 60V. The device can program the output voltage between 0.8V to VIN. The low quiescent current design with the integrated low RDS(ON) of high-side MOSFET achieves high efficiency over the wide load range. The peak current mode control with simple external compensation allows the use of small inductors and results in fast transient response and good loop stability.

The wide switching frequency of 100kHz to 2500kHz allows for efficiency and size optimization when selecting the output filter components. The ultra-low minimum on-time enables constant-frequency operation even at very high step-down ratios. For switching noise sensitive applications, it can be externally synchronized from 300kHz to 2200kHz.

The RTQ6365 provides complete protection functions such as input under-voltage lockout, output under-voltage protection, output over-voltage protection, over-current protection, and thermal shutdown. Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against shorted outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current surge during start-up. The RTQ6365 is available in WDFN-10L 4x4 and SOP-8 (Exposed pad) packages.
