The RTQ2159 is a high-performance, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter that can deliver up to 8A output current from a 2.85V to 6.5V input supply. The output voltage can be programmed from 0.6V to 1.5V with I2C controlled 7-Bits VID.

The device integrates low RDS(ON) power MOSFETs, accurate reference voltage and an integrated diode of bootstrap circuit to offer a very compact solution.

The RTQ2159 adopts Advanced Constant On-Time (ACOT®) control architecture that provides ultrafast transient response and further reduces the external-component count. In steady states, the ACOT® operates in nearly constant switching frequency over line, load and output voltage ranges and makes the EMI filter design easier. The RTQ2159 operations in Forced-CCM that helps meet tight voltage regulation accuracy requirements.

The device offers independent enable control input pin and power good indicator for easily sequence control. To control the inrush current during the startup, the device provides a programmable soft-start up by an external capacitor connected to the SS pin. Fully protection features are also integrated in the device including the cycle-by-cycle current limit control, UVP, input UVLO and OTP. The RTQ2159 is available in a thermally enhanced WET-WQFN-21L 4x4 (FC) package.
